One of my pet peeves - don't ask me why - is nimrods who wear baseball caps backwards. This photo says it all.

My breakfast this morning. A Quest bar (http://amzn.to/IqQcTP) modified with butter sprinkled w Celtic sea salt.

MD's out of town, and I'm bach-ing it. Tonight's dinner. Who says I can't cook?

This couldn't be more true despite what either side says.

This says it all.

From Nature Feb 12, 2012. Sugar glut tracks pretty closely with obesity epidemic.

Old time ad writers didn't screw around. They told it like it was. Not the feel good stuff of today. Probably sold a lot of thermoses.

Southern New Year's day dinner. Ham, black eyed peas, cheese grits, curried fruit & cornbread. Not carb free.

Why is this man smiling? Because injudicious government meddling in nutrition made his company millions.

Pic from frnt door of our house in Boulder, CO taken this AM. Thank God I'm in Santa Barbara where it's warm & green

Love this photo. It's posed, of course. But still symbolic.

Thanksgiving table set at Casa Eades. Just waiting for the chaos of family. Should arrive soon.

Gluten free vodka? WTF. There is no gluten in distilled spirits. Is gluten free the new cholesterol free?

Why carbageddon is on us. Saw this at the grocery store today. Unbelievable. Or maybe not.

Yet another unbelievable soft drink ad. This one from 7 Up.

An ad we'll probably (I hope) never see again.

For all the PBs digging out in New England, here's my backyard in Santa Barbara this morning. :)

MD always makes BD cakes for the G'kids. 8 yo wanted Spookley the Square Pumpkin. Gluten free & fondant w lard

They're young, they're in love, and they eat lard.
