Happy Halloween! Now have some scary food.

Man Finds Mouse Parts Baked Into Hot Dog Bun A North Carolina man found more than just bread when he opened up a bag of hot dog buns. Bruce Van Dyne says “I was cooking dinner and I brought these out and I opened them up.” An unwelcome condiment on his hot dog bun. Bruce…

In which Greg goes vegan and lowers his blood pressure

My husband Greg is officially done with his trial of the Eat to Live diet. I’ve tried that diet twice and lasted less than a week both times. He tried it and stayed on it for six weeks. The man is amazing. And I’m not just saying that because he can eat an entire raw…
