Finally some doubts about aspartame as food additive are coming out on mass media. It is some years I warn my friends about the danger of aspartame. However, I have been very rarely successful convincing them that aspartame is bad. They go on drinking Cola Zero, Cola Diet and eating diet products. Take care of your brains, friends. I am not the only one warning you. Read here and give a look to this documentary. First episode here, or watch it full on youtube
Hi tech jobs, job careers: over with it. I am fed up with the kind of results my job produces. Today we were by Ballenberg and we enjoyed so much being Schweizer Bauer for a day. In Tessin it was good, but also in Berner Oberland, Uri, Graubuenden and Jura it did not sound bad. Look at our picture on flickr.com - and, very important:
If you know a Bauerhof in need of new owners, here we are. We promise hard work, blog updates and all the interviews you want for a new reality show Just let us produce vegetable, eggs and milk!
I mean, I really felt like in München two evenings ago, here on the West coast. It is a pity I discovered too late a similar event was on at the local Hooters pubs. Dear Cori and Ira, I could even eat “pretzeln and brats” and have a “kill the keg contest” – and for 5$ I got a beer AND a shot! I never had this in Bayern with you
- I appreciate my hotel supplied me with advanced tooth paste
- I got scared I have breast cancer, even if I am a man
- I believe cheerleaders are necessary for a rugby team to win
- I am sure David Letterman was caught into a trap
- Mr. T convinced me I absolutely need his Flavorwave cooking device (watch post’s movie)
- I feel extremely fat and I want to buy that amazing contour sculpting device system
Sadly, if I order it today, the delivery will take from 7 to 10 days. Please, help me finding it in Europe. I see already my six packs developing in just four weeks – as seen on tv.
For two days a friend of mine came to visit me with her 3 years old son. I admit it, I had no idea how could have been going with him. Tomorrow they are leaving and …
Pros:
Everything watched through the eyes of a kid acquires incredible interest. Even a blue old Ikea carpet became e ocean to be explored. Fishes, flowers and plants were of course already very interesting.
When I was back home those last two days I could not think about my job anymore: talking to the kid was much more interesting.
Forget about late nights on the net and later mornings in the bed. At 10pm in the bed, at 6am at the table for breakfast. Very healthy!
Cons:
Kids seem to eat only a small portion of what they have on the dish. They eat even less than wives. I will become soon veeeery fat.
… so, it was funny and interesting being uncle Lorenzo for a while
So, we conveniently celebrated on the Queen of the mountains, Mount Rigi, having some raclette for lunch. After it we climbed down to the Vierwaldstättersee, we took the Uri wheel boat and we had a bath at Luzern Lido. We finished the day admiring fireworks and big burning fires on the lake shores. Not bad, indeed!
Back home late night and no pizza pastry in the fridge? Living in the middle of nowhere and no pizza express close by? Did your wife buy flaky pastry instead of pizza pastry?
DON’T PANIC!
