so after yesterday's debacle with the casserole item, this morning was a very tasty baileys/kahlua french toast smothered in pears & blueberries with a few maple sausage balls covered in pecans and nutmeg. this. was. awesome.
again though, being that this wasn't a simple breakfast, one of the people staying there didn't eat it. i thought it was really really great and was captian cleanplate, but i felt for my comerade.

2nd B in the b&b
we got up this morning and were both soooo hungry. i think it was due to just having a sausage at oktoberfest last night for dinner but whatever. thing was, after bringing us some delicious yogurt fruit parfait, we were then served the poopoo platter.
it was an egg casserole type dish (not much egg), heavy on the onion, black beans, corn, red peppers- blehhh. devoured the crap because i was raging hungry but paid the price the rest of the morning.
word to you b&b folk.. keep it simple. how hard is it to mix up friggin krusteaz, drop some bacon, slam some eggs together, and pour some coffee and juice? don't get cute, mkay? KEEP IT SIMPLE.
plus, they went on to explain that this dish was one they used to "serve at the gospel mission". erm.. last i checked, we're dropping a couple-few c's on you for the stay. let's do breakfast right!

there was a little facebook status thread that happened this week that, when tagteamed with "beverly hills chihuaha" being a #1 movie with $29 million, got me thinking.
yes, the discussion we'd had joked at how people say they need free health care out of one side of their mouth then rush to buy hummers, escalades, iphones, data plans, and gaming consoles out of the other side of their mouth.
then i started thinking about what empirical evidence i could give to this thought. ok, what about movies. so i did some digging and here's what i came away with:

13 of these top 20 movies had a 50% or lower rating on rotten tomatoes-- meaning 1 out of 2 people saying they don't have the money are paying said money to see a flaming turd movie anyway. this is not counting concessions, people. the total amount dropped at the box office was....... one-hundred six million, six-hundred fifty-three thousand PLUS dollars. in one weekend. but health care is too expensive.
something to chew on.
