I know my cereal. I love cereal. I could probably live on it. I once bought three boxes of expired Honey Nut Cheerios when I was in Spain because it was 1/2 off. So yeah, I know and love my cereal. How well do you know yours? Find out by taking the Breakfast Cereal Quiz.

I scored 18/20. And I still dispute one of the questions being a trick question.

As for my favorite cereal, that would be the delicious Chocos. I crave them every morning.

The turkey is going into the oven soon. Can’t wait to smell it cooking! All the best to you and yours!

The first is McMenu Madness which showcases some of McDonald’s international menu items, like the Greek Mac (It’s a burger! It’s a gyro! It’s the greatest thing EVER!). I remember the first time I had McDonald’s when I was in Spain. It was in Oviedo and it had been almost two years without Micky Dees. I must say, a quarter pounder never tasted as good as that one did.

Make sure you also check out McMenu Madness, the Americas and McMenu Madness, former menu items. I still remember the MDP (named after former Browns player, Michael Dean Perry) — a triple cheeseburger with a slice of Canadian Bacon. Tasty!

The second link is “Fast Food: Ads vs. Reality” — what you see is hardly ever what you get. That one is kind of a buzz-kill.

And to top off the artery clogging goodness, I present the Hamdog. Not fast food, per se, but right up there. (Picture of the hamdog here)

I saw a link to these on a food blog and decided to give them a try. Surprisingly, they actually taste really good. We’ve made them a couple times now, and while they don’t taste exactly like Lays potato chips, they’re pretty darn close. I recommend giving them a try. We cut a piece of parchment paper and put it on the rotating plate in our microwave and nuke them for about 4-5 minutes, just till they start browning in the middle. It takes a little time to make a decent size batch, but they’re worth it. Just make sure you don’t let them get too dark, or they taste bitter. And make sure you season them before you cook them.

Seriously, give them a try.

We are having a great summer! The kids are doing lots of fun things: taking care of the garden, playing in the sprinkler, and having a good time with friends/family. The highlight would have to be our trips to the Ohio State Fair. Corinne really loved the rides this year. Mason mostly threw sawdust at the animals, but he made sure to get his share of the milkshake from the dairy barn! The kids have had special trips to both grandparents’ homes without Mom or Dad. Everyone had a good time (despite the early wake up calls by the kids). We also went to Geauga Lake with Papa Bill and Grandma Ann. Abuelita and Papa Tom came later to see the kids play in the water. It was a good time for all!

Here are some pictures of our good times. Click on the picture and it will take you to Flickr to show the whole set of pictures.

If anyone was wondering what Tony’s favorite thing from the State fair, it would easily be “Chicken-on-a-stick”!

I think it’s a bad idea that McDonald’s is trying to go “healthy”. They’re basically saying that their food is bad and they are trying to make up for it.

Bad idea.

Nice to see that the vulture lawyers won’t be turning Micky-D’s into a cash source. I don’t know what it is, I can’t abide with these lawyers. (And I might be going to law school?)

I am tasting both of them right now. I must say that Vanilla Pepsi has a very distinct taste. While it does taste delicious, I can’t say it’s better. It has a sweeter taste. Coke’s version tastes more vanillaly. Pepsi’s tastes smoother and a little more pleasant. I like them both.

Now I won’t worry about lining Coca Cola’s pockets because I can by my own version of the beloved vanilla cola. Yum!
