December 31, 2008, Last Day in the Year

Can you believe we are 8 years past the millennium? Do you remember all that Y2K hype? Doesn't seem that long ago. Ok, good start to the day, I've already had 2 of the 8 foods, I had oats & tomatoes. (not together)
Here are 5 of the twenty Worst Foods in America:

Chicken Selects from Mickey Dee's - 1,710 calories, 55 fat grams

Jamba Juiced Chocolate Moo'd Power Smoothie - 900 calories, 183 carbs (wow!)

Pepperidge Farm Roasted Chicken Pot Pie - 1,020 calories, 64 fat grams

Ruby Tuesday Bella Turkey Burger - 1,145 calories, 71 fat grams

Venti Strawberry & Creme Frappuchino from Starbucks - 750 calories, 120 sugar grams (more sugar than 3 cans of soda!)

Oh that is so gross! This is from the book "Eat This Not That" by David Zinczenko.

P.S. I had spinach in my "spring salad mix" and tomatoes, carrots and am having yogurt tonight for dessert. I don't think oats and my digestive system get along too well.

Karen had the turkey burger last night at Ruby Tuesday. She didn't eat most of the bun and scraped off most of the sauce. It will probably put her into labor!!

The year 1999, the world was going to end, computers were going to crash, the lights would stop working, our clocks would convert back to some other time and Prince's song party like its 1999 took on new meaning..But thanks to the great IT guys of the world none of this happen. The economy was good, Tom's business sent him to Vegas for all of his hard work, times were good..
