You Are What You Eat

I saw The Value of a Dollar Project by Jonathan Blaustein on DesignCrush and I think it's quite clever.

You could eat this for a $1:

And we wonder why people don't eat healthy foods. Hmm maybe because it's about 10x more expensive to eat good, nutritious foods. That makes me mad. Why are greasy, fattening foods marketed so heavily (no pun intended) and so cheap while the beneficial foods aren't? I watched Food Inc recently and it opened my eyes to where our food comes from. I would highly recommend it. Just don't plan on watching it while you eat fast food.

Pictures!

Calm down people, 

I know you have all been dying to see more pictures from my trip to Nicaragua (note the sarcasm), so here they are:

Ta-Da! I feel like I might have stole the first picture from the internet, but I promise I did see that volcano quite a bit actually. Which was pretty much amazing 'cause how many times in my life have I lived five miles away from a volcano? Not very many times.

It was a really amazing trip. I may write more in detail about it later, but for now you will have to be content with pictures.

In other news, I'm in love with quaker rice snacks, in fact, I just ate an entire bag of them. The first time this happened I freaked out a little, because although on the back of the bag they say they are low in calories per serving, every delicious bag has like 45 servings in it! Maybe that's an exaggeration, but still, it was a decent amount of rice snacks.

I've since stopped looking at the back of the bag.

Well, that's about it for now, so, feliz año del conejo! How's that for multi-cultural?

Girls Night

The sisters went out to dinner and a movie a few nights ago, just the 3 of us. It's pretty rare that all 3 of us and just the 3 of us go out together, we had a lovely time.

We saw The Young Victoria which was incredibly sweet and the costuming was brilliant!

And we had dinner at Nothing But Noodles, which is one of my favorite places (i loooove pasta).

It was a very nice evening, I love having sisters! It's like having built in best friends.

P.S. Sorry about the lack of holiday pictures, things have been rather crazy around here (with my g-ma moving in).

P.P.S. Happy New Year! We wish you a wonderful 2010!
