Owls
Friday, March 14th 2008
We spotted two owls at the park yesterday and Genie got some great photos of the long eared owl including this one:
I also saw my first bluebird of the season on the way home.
To further commemorate the changing seasons I polished off the last of the peppermint stick ice cream thank you.
We caught a late matinee of "The Bank Job" (we both liked it a lot) and then had Middle Eastern fare at King David's. I'd already blow the day's calories with the ice cream so I ...
Melons

I would be delighted just to harvest a couple of each of these melons.

Panera
Monday, March 10th 2008
What's with Panera? I went to their website to print out some of the nutritional info and discovered there are big differences between their numbers and those in the CK database and not just in the size of the items. I've found discrepancies between CK and package labeling before but this includes a significant number of items with big variations. I wonder if Panera has actually made an effort to reduce calorie content along with portion size...
