What's Inside a K-Cup?

My Keurig machine failed so I've been cutting the coffee out of my remaining K-cups for use in alternate coffee makers. The inside of a K-cup is interesting. It's about half full of coffee. The coffee is held in a tiny basket-shaped filter.

Alright Tigers....Let's Go!

Here's a pretty cool thing happening in Detroit!

Halloween Costume Trial Run...

Here's our picture from the recent Harvest Festival at school.  That hat I'm wearing is the famous one from Scottsbluff that Uncle Bob payed the sales tax on!  She's a 5X I believe.  Elle's hat is the weakest as it came with her costume and looks more like a flapper hat than a cowboy hat...

Apple Hill Field Trip

I pulled my first chaperone duty earlier this month when I accompanied Jack and his class to Apple Hill.  The trip featured and trip into the orchards where we got to pick Red Delicious apples off a tree along with a special behind the scenes tour into their kitchen.

Jack positioned himself within reaching distance of the pie assembly line!  That's my boy!

Elle Enjoys "The Wiggles"

Elle had to stay home from school today as a result of a stomach virus. She passed her time by watching Sesame Street, Clifford the Big Red Dog and The Wiggles. and seems to be feeling better....

Hot Cheetos & Takis

About a month ago, I heard about a rap song and video that some kids made over the summer that went viral on youtube. The song is called "Hot Cheetos & Takis". I watched it and pretty much forgot about it, although I never knew exactly what the kids meant by "Takis". Well this weekend, I figured it out when I happened to see them at Walmart. Takis are a kind of corn chip snack, the kind of thing you see down in Mexico. I bought a bag to check them out.

I also picked up a bag of Hot Cheetos in order to really experience the snack that these inner-city kids loved so much.

So what are Takis like? Pretty awful. It's like a Frito rolled into a tight tube and saturated in greasy chili powder which is overpowered by an oily, fried aftertaste. Takis are bad, and the people who make them should feel bad.

So when you combine Takis with Hot Cheetos as these kids do, the snack you get is pretty much (bad) x (2). These things don't go well together. They are largely the same thing! I'm left wondering who the parents are letting these kids eat this crap! Let's hope their next hit single is "Capri Sun & Apple Slices". Here's the video in case you haven't seen it.

U Didn't Build That!

Not really sure where this video is going...but it is funny.
