Johnnycupcakes.com

As a small business owner, I try and not get too involved in commenting on the business practices of other companies whether big or small. I do make one exception to this rule and that is when a large company is obviously infringing on the copyright of a smaller business.

As I am not directly involved in the situation, I will refer you to www.johnnycupcakes.com
Here you will find out what is upsetting me so much, as a small business owner.
Johnnycupcakes.com is an independently owned small company and it
upsets me greatly that they are being taken advantage of by a larger entity.

And, while you are there.. buy something! The items for sale at www.johnnycupcakes.com are
fantastic and also food-related!

Food on Film: Grumpy Old Men (1993) & Grumpier Old Men (1995)


The next in our "Food on Film" series, which logs all foods consumed on film throughout our favorite movies, is Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men.

I love these movies. They depict a pretty accurate snap-shot of how I'd like my retired life to be... full of friends and family, leisurely afternoons, good food, bickering neighbors and shenanigans. These movies are perfect for lazy Sunday afternoon viewing. Plus, the added bonus of Burgess Meredith as a dirty yet harmless old man and father to Jack Lemmon's character is a huge highlight to these two movies... trust me: hilarity ensues.

Keep checking www.baglunchco.com as this balm set will be on the site within a week or two!
Hooray for new lip balm!

Banana Time-Frame

I would really eat more bananas if they didn't turn so quickly.
I can only eat them if they are just about to turn bright yellow, which leaves me with about a 30 minute time-frame.
If they've gone yellow.. it's too late.

Bananas are no good to me unless they are slightly under-ripe.
