FOOTBALL!

Yes, football is back. What we all live for. And the Packers are off to a great start. What a game! I think they just faced their greatest competition this year. Too bad coach McCarthy still does not know how to coach the closing minutes of a game. Same as last year, game after game, along with special team flubs. We could have a relaxing roll away season burying all foes before us, but no we must risk cardiac arrest every game as he invites the opposition to run roughshod over us in the last four minutes of every game. Still I am predicting a 12-4 winning season for the Packers. There is talk they will play in London next year.

I had to open the season in style. I ran out and bought some coconut oil for my popcorn popping. Coconut oil has been vilified in the various forms of media man subjects himself to these days but I have found it is extremely healthy. Not sure why the movie theaters dropped it. Sounds like product sabotage to me. And if you don’t like to put butter on your popcorn you have to be using coconut oil. It just tastes great, it’s good for your heart and you can use it on your skin and in your hair… the coconut oil that is. One of the best purchases I ever made. Medium high heat causes the popcorn to take longer to pop but it is well worth the extra time.

Misao has been more focused on serving sizes as the years pass, concerned over my weight. We also try to set a general menu. The Sunday menu will be popcorn and other various football appropriate snacks for the first two games, topped off with a salad for the Sunday Night Game. Church followed by ten plus straight hours of football, can it get any better? Only if we had cable or satellite TV.

We stopped by Teavana the other day in Mayfair Mall. The young gentleman there was enthusiastic and committed to the world of tea. he told us about everything that was good for appetite suppression, raising metabolism, helping digestion, etc.. etc. He’s made an impression on our neighbor also. He spoke a bit fast and exalted the ‘real’ teas, poo poo-ing the rooibos teas as ‘some bush’ though I hear the rooibos is very good for you. Not that I am calling him a tea Nazi, he might take offense at that.

We ended up buying a bit of Oolong tea. I am thinking of using an appetite suppression tea. Work hard on the trainer this Winter, take in planned nutrition to fit the workout and then drink plenty of tea to keep me from over eating, as I get extremely hungry when I workout a lot. It is actually cheaper to buy at the Teavana store as there is a 12% sales tax on items purchased from their main facility in Atlanta. The tea Nazi can set you up with anything you need.

There was a long dry spell for this blog and I have lost a bit of s following. I have to be more vigilant in sharing my wit, common sense and helpful hints for near all one’s daily concerns. All part of my plan to RULE THE WORLD!
