B-Day Bash in Decatur

We went to Mexico City Gourmet in Decatur for a surprise birthday party for our friend Gary last night. His wife got him good; he was completely surprised! We don't get to go out much because we live too far from just about anywhere - it was more than an hour's drive to Decatur - so it was a big deal that we showed up. Luckily, our friends our staying at their parents house in Alpharetta until their new house is finished in August, so we'll be able to see them more often, atleast for awhile. Yippee!

A friend of mine takes really good nature photos. He lives in Portland, Oregon where nature is always posing for a great shot. It doesn't hurt that he has a top-of-the-line professional camera either!

Super Size Me

We just watched this documentary this evening - WOW - the numbers were impressive. Physically, the guy really didn't look obese after eating McD's three times a day for 30 days, but his insides were being disintegrated. Specifically, his liver was "pickling" because all the uric acid that was produced. Kinda makes you feel guilty when you eat at a fast food restaurant now. Go figure, we DID go to Captain D's for dinner today; that counts as fast food doesn't it? I personally don't like Filet-O-Fish because of the big glob of mayonnaise...yuck....but I do like Chick-fil-A and Wendy's. This film has really propogated interest in nutrition - organic foods, removal of "super sizing", premium salads and premium chicken. I tried that new premium chicken; it tasted pretty good but the flavoring they stuff into the chicken was so hot it almot burned by tongue. Another potential law suit in the makng :)
