  • Fast food fun

    Here are a few fun links about America’s favorite meal: Fast food.

    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)

  • Hitler sings the hits

    I’m probably going to a bad place for posting (and laughing at) this, but here is our Video of the Week: Hitler singing “I will survive”

  • Yearly Checkups

    The kids are another year older! Craziness! We took them together for their check-ups. Corinne is always the little princess. She did whatever the doctor asked with a twinkle in her eye. Mason was not so kind. He screamed at the doctor and looked pretty untrusting of the whole experience. Thank goodness neither was due for shots. Both are doing above average in the height/weight department and in their physical/mental skills. We are very blessed indeed!

    We had two days of summer mixed into our early spring weather. The kids played outside the entire first day and went to the zoo with their babysitter the second day. It was wonderful! We’ll have to break out the tricycle soon to see how Mason does. Corinne still needs some work on it before she graduates to a two-wheeler with training wheels.

  • Pictures of Corinne and Mason

    Here are some recent pictures of Corinne and Mason, including their 4-year bunny and 2-year monkey pictures. More can be seen at Flickr.
