You might notice the blog filling up with advertisement
I have done this as a secondary way to generate some money towards getting a laptop to carry with me when I go to local eateries and "health" food stores and blog on the go ( I'm sure there's plenty of open wireless connections in the city to mooch off of)
Please click on every link and take a minute to browse the sites, you never know , you may find something worth buying
If you do buy anything from ANY of the sites advertised here, please let me know what you got and how everythnig turned out.
I do NOT run any of those sites and the products are not mine so if you have a problem be sure to take it up with them. and of course let me know about any bad experiences with them as well so I can get thier ads changed to better ones.
Be sure to keep an eye out for "What NOT to do on a Diet (Part 2) " coming soon to this blog or you're favorite RSS reader (oh thats right, I forgot to mention I added that... Subscribe to my feed!!!! )

Things NOT to do on a diet (Part One)
I myself am not on a diet, but I eat and use lots of things that are considered to be mainly for dieting.
I was looking through my fridge the other day and not finding anything I wanted to actualy cook, I noticed I had a few cans of slim fast left. Now you might think a person would just go ahead and drink it and that would be a good healthy lunch, but not me, I'm not on a diet.
So I have this can of slim fast, chocolate flavored, and for those of you that have never tried slim fast it's a little thick and slightly chalky tasting on it's own, I opened the can and poured it into my blender, opened my freezer and grabbed the ice cream, put 2 decent sized scoops into the blender with my "diet" lunch drink , I thought for a second ( it was a pretty short second mind you) about turning it into a nice mudslide.
I'm not really an alchoholic but I keep plenty of alchohol around(you know, just in case) so I put 2 shots of southern comfort in with my slim fast and ice cream , and blended it all together.
If you're on a diet this is a HUGE no no , if you want a great tasting mudslide that will serve 2-3 people (or just one of me) then give it a try.
Here it is without having to read back through all of that....
1- 11oz can slim fast optima , rich chocolate royal flavor shaken well
2-3 scoops of ice cream , chocolate
2 shots of your favorite whiskey , rum , whatever (doesnt matter really, if done right you'll only get a slight flavor from it)
Put all ingredients into a blender and mix (liquify setting work well but to long and it loses it's thinkness)
Makes about 3 6oz servings

~Absinthe~ Just a personal preference
The following is an excerpt from the wikipedia about one of the best drinks ever.
Allways remember to drink in moderation and don't let friends drive drunk (force them to drink sodas so they can drive you home safely)
Absinthe is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic (45%-74% ) beverage. It is an anise-flavored spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the herb Artemisia absinthium, commonly referred to as "grande wormwood". Absinthe traditionally has a natural green color but can also be colorless. It is commonly referred to in historical literature as "la fée verte" (the Green Fairy).
Although it is sometimes mistakenly called a liqueur, absinthe was not bottled with added sugar and is therefore classified as a liquor. Absinthe is unusual among spirits in that it is bottled at a very high proof but is normally diluted with water when drunk.
Absinthe originated in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. It achieved great popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers. Due in part to its association with bohemian culture, absinthe was opposed by social conservatives and prohibitionists. Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Vincent van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, and Aleister Crowley were all notorious bad men of that day who were (or were thought to be) devotees of the Green Fairy.
Absinthe was portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug. The chemical thujone, present in small quantities, was singled out and blamed for its alleged harmful effects. By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in most European countries except the United Kingdom, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Denmark and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Although absinthe was vilified, no evidence has shown it to be any more dangerous than ordinary liquor. Its psychoactive properties, apart from those of alcohol, had been much exaggerated.
A revival of absinthe began in the 1990s, when countries in the European Union began to reauthorize its manufacture and sale. As of February 2008, nearly 200 brands of absinthe were being produced in a dozen countries, most notably in France, Switzerland, Spain, and the Czech Republic. Commercial distillation of absinthe in the United States resumed in 2007.

The First of Many - A Simple About Me
I'm not to sure where to start really,
I am an avid writer , author of many short stories nobody will ever read, amature food critic, and self proclaimed chef.
I have a few ideas as to the direction I want this blog to go and will update it as frequently as possible (probably daily).
Of course as soon as I write up a profile here you'll be able to read much more about me there.
