Diet, Day 22

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!



It just dawned on me last night that most of you probably don't get the "Dingoboy" reference. Dingoboy was a radio skit performed in the early 90's by the then unknown Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel. Bob Lassiter, one of the crankiest SOB's ever to grace the Tampa airwaves, played the whole series one day. Apparently, he had been getting this CD of free content from some promotional company for months, and never listened to them. But once he did, he loved Dingoboy. It was irreverent and strangely hilarious, and had a theme song that sticks to your brain like a venereal disease. The Batman episode had me in tears. If you are curious, go to http://www.boblassiterairchecks.com/wsun/ and download the file called "wsundingo.mp3."

So I went grocery shopping today and made a minor find. I like the Hebrew National 97% fat free hot dogs just fine. But when I saw that Ballpark, of all people, makes fat free hot dogs, I had to grab a package. I'll let you know if they are worth a darn once I try them.

I want to know why it is that you can't buy turkey breasts in Sweetbay the way you can buy chicken breasts. The only forms of turkey they seem to have are cold cuts, ground turkey, and either whole or breasts- but not the little 8 oz cut & trimmed things- the one that looks like a half eaten Thanksgiving turkey & weighs 4-6 pounds. I don't want ground turkey, and most of the cold cuts have all sorts of salt & sugar (carbs!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!) in them. Luckily, I found some sliced turkey with almost no carbs, so I picked it up.
