WANNA BUY A BAG OF GIRL SCOUT COOKIES?!!?

My co-worker Bob roped me into buying a box of Girl Scout cookies for "fundraising" efforts. I went with the new Thanks-A-Lot's in the interest of being somewhat healthy. They are basically sandwich cookies with fudge on one side. They aren't setting the world on fire with taste, but whatever. The more disturbing thing is that they don't come in a box like regular Girl Scout Cookies, but in a plastic bag. As the bag says, "SAME COOKIES, SAME SIZE, LESS PACKAGING." WTF? If I wanted a bag of cookies, I just would have bought Keebler or Chips Ahoy! I had to scotch tape them up & seal them with a paper clip to keep them fresh instead of just closing a box. I hope my $ is being put to good use by the Girl Scouts. They do a really poor job of telling you where the money from cookie sales actually goes. Wouldn't it be nice if you went to pay a toll or something and they said, "It's all good. This one is on the Girl Scouts cuz you bought a box of Thanks-A-Lots!?

MY EXPIRED CHIP ADDICTION CONTINUES..

Here I am typing this blog eating another free bag of expired HERR'S Baked Sour Cream & Onion chips from the front office. The addiction continues....I also wanted to try out the camera phone on my new SAMSUNG Strive cell phone to see how it would photograph the 2 discarded bags of chips I ate today. More on the phone & my wretched experience at the phone store in another blog.

OMG I ATE EXPIRED BAKED CHIPS!

Anybody who knows me knows that I am a fanatic about not eating leftovers or eating anything that is beyond the expiration date. Seriously, I've been told I should work for the Food & Drug Administration (the FDA). Mysteriously this week, boxes of expired HERR's Baked cheddar cheese & sour cream potato chips appeared in our sister station's promotions office. I keep making excuses to go in there and steal another bag. The chips are all clearly marked with an expiration date of Oct. 23, 2010. Call me a cheap bastard, but I can't stop eating these expired chips. It's like a double high since I'm saving money and living on the edge at the same time. Time for a stint in snack rehab!

ADAM YAUCH NOT TOTALLY CANCER FREE...

I may have jumped the gun on Adam "MCA" Yauch being totally cancer free. He issued a statement Friday denying reports that he was totally clear of the salivary gland cancer he's been fighting for a year and a half. The statement read, "While I'm grateful for all the positive energy people are sending my way, reports of my being totally cancer free are exaggerated. I'm continuing treatment, staying optimistic, and hoping to be cancer free in the near future."

CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH FOR A BEASTIE BOY!

Good news for Beastie Boys fans like me. Adam "MCA" Yauch has been given a clean bill of health by doctors, 18 months after he was diagnosed with cancer of the salivary gland. The boys will be back with new Bone Rock this Spring, when they release their long-awaited new album, Hot Sauce Committee Part 2.

LEAN CUISINE'S GOT NUTHIN' ON LEAN GOURMET!

This will be my last food blog for awhile, I promise! I just had to praise the LEAN GOURMET Five Cheese Lasagna. Lean Cuisine could learn a thing or two from this delicious little gem. First off, at $1.07 a box at Walmart, the Price is Right! And the cooking time is actually accurate and true, unlike some frozen meals that end up either frozen or charred after following their instructions. It's pretty close to restaurant-quality lasagna with a "flavorful for being frozen," sauce. It's certainly easier than trying to make it yourself at home with all those layers of squiggly noodles. Next time you need a quick lunch, give it a try. CRA$H. I think I'm going to start signing my name with a dollar sign this year like that KE$HA skank.

PBURG IS NOW SONIC GOOD!!
