I Look Much Older In One Year

Somehow I look 10 years older than I did at the start of this year. It's been the worst year of my life so far, so maybe that is the thing causing it. But dang, I do look older all the sudden. I have lost 44 LBS in this time though.

CANADIAN TV SHOWS OF THE 1970'S

Image
The Fifth Estate (1976 - Still Going) Documentary, News This was a show that I remember my Mom and Dad watching once a week. Later in life I watched it as well. I no longer watch it as I’m no longer interested in news. At the time in the 70’s I did not really get what it was all about, I just wanted to be with my parents while they watched it. My brother never did stay for it if I remember correctly. Hockey Night in Canada (1952 - Still Going) Sports Dad watched this all the time in the 70’s and 80’s then just kind of stopped. I now watch it on my own. I love Hockey and CFL (Canadian Football). At the time I just was there for it – was not interested in sports until I was much older. Marketplace (1972 - Still Going) News, Consumer Affairs This is the consumer affairs show in Canada. They document what a business is doing wrong to a customer or a group and then confront them with it on camera. They have effected change over the years and ran a few places out of business. I was inte...

Top 20 Deli Meats (Cold Cuts) Rated

Image
I found a list of the top 20 cold cuts in the world. That head cheese got into this list makes me wonder what so called normal people think is good food. This is of course keyed to my tastes only and may not be how you see it. For example, Dad loved Bologna above all other cold cuts, and would fry it black and make sandwiches with tomato and Kraft sandwich spread. Sometimes the bread of toasted. On a side note, literally ONLY white bread of served to us at home as young folks and so on. The idea of eating brown bread was out of the question. BTW Mom's favorite cold cut was Olive Loaf. My perfect 10 no longer exists and it was called Onion Loaf. Nothing will ever replace Onion Loaf in my mind. 1 Turkey Breast 4/10 2 Ham 5/10 3 Roast Beef 2/10 4 Salami 7/10 5 Bologna 3/10 6 Chicken Breast 4/10 7 Prosciutto 9/10 8 Pastrami 8/10 9 Pepperoni 7/10 10 Mortadella 7/10 11 Corned Beef 4/10 12 Capicola 7/10 13 Liverwurst 6/10 14 Soppressata 8/10 15 Chorizo 6/10 16 Genoa 7/10 17 Pork Roll 2/10...

I Love My Coffee

Image
I bloody love me a cup of coffee in the morning. I got a discount brand that a lot of people look down on recently (not to be named). I had in the past absolutely hated this brand. I however saw how much a friend was liking it, and tried it again. The risk was high as there is a massive amount of it for the price, and if I hate it, I'm stuck drinking crappy coffee for 2 months or tossing it out. Good thing is, I loved it. It's a breakfast blend and it's bloody delicious. I don't know what has changed since I had the brand years ago, but man it is good. It's smooth and rich. All the things it was not in the day. Before it was bitter and horrible. Now it's up there with any of the larger brands of coffee. With about 2lbs of, it's enough to last a while. I've been into it 3 weeks now and it's only 1/4 of the way gone. Being that I use rather a lot of coffee in the Moka pot to make a single cup, this is amazing to me for sure. If you are doing a 10 or 12...
