peanut butter baddness

No. Not talking about bad as in 'Who's Bad?' I'm talking about the peanut butter related products recall going on with this tainted peanut butter issue going down.

Seeing a report about possible effected / recalled peanut butter associated Cliff Bars (click Here for more), I remembered, "Oh yeah, i've got some cliff bars in my pantry."

Maybe I should eat them more often. Two of the three Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch were past expiration / best-buy-date while the third was not in the date range for the tainted peanut butter recall. Well, as Meatloaf says, " two out of three ain't bad." Seriously, the packages aren't bloated (a lesson I learned in identifying bad MRE's) so the 'expired' are probably still okay?

Sad to say, my friend Laura, aka: Michigan, did not fair as well as I did. Click the link to read her blog post and tainted peanut butter experience.

Oddly enough, though, it was most likely Salmonella that kept me from turning into a tubby mc'tubberton. My Junior(?) year of high school (go Ralston Rams), as I was starting to get pudgy around the mid section, I got a bad case of food poisoning. After a weekend in the bathroom, I ended up in the hospital with a check-in weight of under 100 lbs, having previously weighed around 130-140 lbs. The IV needle they stuck in my hand was gauged big enough for blood transfusion just in case. Well, after not quite literally dieing, the fat never came back, and a few years later, Uncle Sam pitched in with adding weight via muscle mass. I've been active, healthy, and lean ever since.

But I digress. Who's bad? the Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band. That's who.


Well... that is unless you're "who's fat?" (sorry. embedding was disabled but you can search video google 'who's fat Weird Al' yourself.) In the process, though, I found the McDonald's Rap.



Kind of reminds me of Lazy Sundays. That was 'bad.'
