I've been incognito for a few weeks. But I decided to post because one year ago, on March 29th, I opened this blog.
Hello World!
Over the past year, I've done some reviews. I have two followers. I made a few mistakes. I was thrilled and then dismayed by a post, and thrilled by yet another post. Thank you, Japanese people and Rizonesoft and Blog Glue! Thank you all my readers. Please read more and comment!
I've learned some things and regretted a few things.
I talked about Yogi Tea, here and here. Yeah, I've since stopped buying Yogi, and will do a post on Bigelow and Celestial Seasonings. Particularly a comparison between similar flavors.
I wrote on what I am watching this TV season. I may not like The New Girl, but I am loving Awake, Ringer, and Person of Interest. And Grimm and Once Upon A Time are even higher on my list.
Then I spoke on my substitutes for yogurt and coffee. While Cafix and Kaffree got high praise, thanks to other complications I wrote about, I just have a half a cup of coffee when the mood hits me, but never more than once a week. Again, ladies, if you are pregnant or have issues, chicory should be avoided.
I was going to write about how Yoplait's Greek yogurt was not good for the lactose intolerant, and it was creamy but not thick and and nothing like Chobani or Dannon Oikos. But Yoplait did everything one better: Yoplait has created a lactose free yogurt. It's good. As far as I know, there are only four flavors. Just today, I bought Oikos on sale, but then thought why when Yoplait has the lactose free brand for cheaper. Every now and again, I'll buy Greek yogurt, but those days are done. Thanks Yoplait!
As far as rants go, I am adding my two cents to this Trayvon Martin debacle: the truth will come out. The only thing this whole thing has showed is the United States of America still has a race problem. And the "Stand Your Ground" law is flawed. Let's attack that and not the man. Sanford police cleared him, thanks to that law and an ineptness I've only seen on TV.
This grieving family is not going to roll over and let this get swept under the rug. They are in pain and were not getting answers.
I understand a few people don't want to sign the petition or have been burned one too many times, cool. But what if it was your family? It happened to Emmet Till. It happened to my family. It happened to Trayvon. It will happen again. Don't fool yourselves.
As for this blog and its future:
I am pretty sure that I will continue blogging (you need to see the recipes/meals I destroyed!), and making it yet more attractive. I will get that underway in a few months (or a few weeks cuz ya never know). I will probably host my own site.
But work will always come first, both actual and potential. And I got to get back to work.
Happy Birthday, Well-Informed Typist! Go, on with yo bad self!
My favorite post is still this: Go Mr. President!
