Daily Recap

  • Peanut Butter and Jelly is a great morning snack. It will revive you and get you over the slump after your caffeine buzz from your morning coffee wears off. It will give you energy and if you skipped breakfast the peanut butter will give you all the protein you missed from your morning eggs or oatmeal.
  • Pita Pizza is a healthier and lighter version of the traditional cheesy slice. It is a way to be creative and use your imagine to make whatever you are craving. The toppings could range anywhere from cheese and tomato to apple and gorgonzola cheese. The pita can be used as a dessert shell as well, spread some butter on it then sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar, bake until golden brown then top with your favorite sweet treats. As I said the options are endless and it gives you a chance to play with your food like you were a little kid.
  • If you are going to burn something popcorn and tater tots are the worst things to burn. I had a craving today and decided to make some tater tots, it is a very random food to crave but when you really want something you just have to have it. I got distracted and forgot about them until I smelled them burning. The whole kitchen got a little smoky and of course the whole house started to smell like burnt popcorn. It is the hardest smell in the world to get rid of. I tried opening the doors, spraying air freshener, and lighting candles but nothing seemed to work. Finally I tried Febreeze, thank god it worked now instead of burnt popcorn the whole house smells like laundry.
  • Heather Mills and Sanjaya are my picks for dude and dudette of the day. Heather gave everyone the show they have been waiting for on last nights "Dancing With the Stars," and Sanjaya has America waiting in anticipation to see what his hair will look like on tonights "American Idol."
  • A retired Couple from Queens finally made it to Arizona. The elderly couple took a cab from New York to Arizona just so their precious cat's would not have to sit in an airplane hanger for a few hours. I am sure a long and probably smelly cab ride seemed like a much better option.

New York to Arizona in six days

The retired New York couple that took a cab from New York to Arizona finally made it. The older couple did not want to fly because they did not want their cats to travel in an airport hanger. The couple thought it would be a great idea to hail a cab and have the cabbie drive them to Arizona instead. The couple spent $3,000 plus the cost of food and fuel. They could have probably flown back and forth from Arizona at least 2-3 times for that amount of money. The couple finally made it and are happy that there cats did not have to sit on an airplane for about 3 hours. Instead they got to sit in a hot stuffy cab 10 hours a day for almost a week. Only in New York!

Cabbie!

What do you do when you live in New York, don't drive, and have two cats and want to move to Arizona? Take a cab of course! That is what an older New York couple are doing. They got in a cab a few weeks ago after a shopping trip and started talking to the cabbie about their move. They jokingly asked the cabbie if he wanted to drive them to Arizona and he surprisingly said sure why not! It was a joke that became reality for elderly couple Betty and Bob Matas. They did not want to fly because they did not want their cats to be stuck in a cargo hold on an airplane for a few hours. They are getting New York City cab driver Douglas Guldeniz to drive them to Arizona. The cost of the trip will be $3,000 plus lodging, gas, and meals. The Matas' are apparently getting a great deal, David Pollack who is the director of the Committee for Taxi safety said the flat rate for this type of trip would be close to $5,000. It is hard enough to get a cabbie to go to Brooklyn, I can't believe this couple got someone to go all the way to Arizona. Only in New York!
