Christmas will be here before you know it. We’re all going to have Christmas dinner at my place this year, which means I have the responsibility of finding plenty of Christmas dinner recipes and getting everything fixed for a large family. I also need to have a few things that kids will eat. I’ve been looking online for some nice looking recipes that nobody will be expecting to have for Christmas dinner. Hopefully I can surprise everyone with some delicious and unique dishes.

A friend of mine wants me to invest in a fast food franchise with him and his father in law. Last year he tried to get me to invest in a 711 convenience store franchise, but I really couldn’t afford it at the time. I’ve been at this job for about a year now and I think my position here is pretty stable. A fast food franchise would be a great opportunity and it’s almost guaranteed to make money. I need to talk about it with my girlfriend and see what she thinks about a franchise investment.

I used to drive past Starbucks every day going to and from work. I often thought about stopping there and seeing what all they had to offer, as I always heard such great things about them and their products. Finally, one morning, a coworker asked me to meet her before work, so we could talk. I asked her where she wanted to meet and she said that Starbucks sounded good. It was so delicious. After drinking Starbucks coffee, I don’t care for the coffee I always made at home nearly as much. There is no comparison in coffee made at home and Starbucks coffee. I think everyone should try it, it least once.

A guy I work with has been taking these diet pills for about 2 months now. From what I can tell they are working great. He has lost about 25 pounds and he gets full easily when he eats. I’ve thought about trying diet pills before but I’m always worried that they’ll speed up my heart or something. I’m kind of paranoid about that sort of thing.

I read somewhere that foods such as mashed potatoes and apple pie are among the most fattening foods for the holidays.  Other foods like stuffing and holiday candy are also fattening agents. Not only food but warm cider has also made the list. Now that one blew me out of the water. Who knew?

I love to eat at the local Hometown Buffet. They serve top of the line food at just one affordable price. If you are going to go there on Friday night the day that is designated for steak, then you are in some serious trouble. The lines on a Friday night way past the doorway leading outside and sometimes if you are really hungry, you won’t want to endure the line. I know some people who would wait patiently for this good food, but I’m not one of them.

Soon the kids would be heading back to school and most will have to take along their lunch with them. What are you packing into your children’s brown bag or lunch kits? Whatever it is, make sure that it is nutritious and healthy for them. Pack a lot of fruits and mix in some vegetables like broccoli in their favorite Mac and cheese. Turn an ordinary and bland sandwich extraordinary. Instead of plan ham sandwich, jazz it up with a slice of cheese, lettuce and tomatoes to make a delightful treat.

I am in all support of those who have strong views about a certain topic in society and want to stick by what they believe in. I love that. But I think some people allow themselves to get too passionate and involved when trying to champion a cause. I never expected last week to go into KFC and see protesters in front of the restaurant holding up “Save the Chickens” signs. Clearly they are vegetarians but we can’t all be vegetarians or meat lovers for that matter. The minute I left out of the car walking towards the restaurant’s entrance, they all looked at me as if I was going to commit a crime. I graciously said “I’m sorry. But I’m very hungry!”
