Bad Guacamole

Dad gets credit for being the first in the family for noticing the horrible practices of the food industry and guacamole products. As I discovered on a trip to Walmart today, the horrors continue. Ask any person in the world, and they will tell you the central ingredient to guacamole is avocado. Ask the "chefs" from the food industry, however, and the answer to that question is apparently whipped vegetable oil and green food coloring.



Two clues for the wary stand out. First, the price is too cheap for real guacamole, because avocados aren't that cheap. Second, the term "flavored" is never a good sign. It always means that whatever ingredient preceding it isn't actually in the product. Chocolate flavored candy means there is no chocolate in the candy. Maple flavored syrup means you're eating corn syrup, not maple syrup. Be careful out there grocery shoppers! The industry wants to trick you into eating pure crap in order to make higher profits!

There's a new restaurant in town making and interesting claim relating to their biscuits and gravy. I'll follow up on this and report back to the blog.

Super Bowl Menu 2012

It was a Chicago themed Super Bowl! Featured item was Garrett's Popcorn, the Chicago mix flavor, in the Oprah's Favorite Things tin.









Also served were pizza and calzone snacks from Chicago's famous Pizzeria Uno.



Wash it all down with a beer variety from Chicago's Goose Island Brewery!



These plus other snacks equalled a taste of Chicago Super Bowl! Go Bears! Giants win! Pats lose!

The 2009 California State Fair - with the bear!

We took Jack to the state fair this morning... The theme of the fair this year is Weird, Wild & Wacky - though this special flag puts wonderful in the mix as well.




One of the feature performers at this year's fair is MC Hammer. Sadly for MC - more folks seemed to be turning up looking to name the baby mule than to hear him perform.



Our highlights included the animal exhibits including the petting zoo which featured a Kangaroo! (or at least a marsupial of sorts). Jack also had got into an arguement with a llama!


And here's a snap of his new kangaroo friend.



The food at the fair is probably worthy of a whole different blog post but the summary would go something like this: expensive and fried. We had one of the famous cinnamon rolls and a big pickle!




All in all it was a fun morning at the fair with the bear...
