{Check it Out} Movie Snacks, Beer Map, Japan

Posted on March 19, 2011September 10, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

A few things that caught my eye this week…

Let me start with this mashup of LL Cool J and Dexy’s Midnight Runners.  I have watched probably no fewer than 50 times.  Seriously awesome!

Buying snacks at the movie is such a money suck.  As kids we brought out own popcorn.  I try to bring snacks from home as often as possible.  Check out these movie snack suggestions.

Health isn’t your dress size.  Check out this story on a new movement to adopt healthier habits for the sake of health and well-being and not JUST losing weight.  Love that!  Check out the organization behind this initiative.

Healthy habits are somewhat learned.  Check out this great post about celebrity athletes hypocritical  product endorsements.  Maybe the fruit and vegetable industries should start shelling out some cash to these guys, and gals.

In our house we have a few go to meatless meals in our dinner routine, check out this Indian sweet potato samosa pie.  A delicious recipe to add and sure beats making individual samosas.

On the meat side of the menu, check out this recipe for a Chicago style hot dog.  I must confess I generally love ketchup on my hot dog.

If you are traveling and need to locate some good beer, check out this beer map that maps where you can get beer all over the country.

The news from Japan seems to be getting worse every day.  The pictures are amazing and devastating at the same time.  I ran across this inspiring photo, I love it.  Did you know you can donate to Red Cross directly from Amazon?

      I’ll pretend I didn’t read the part about putting ketchup on your hotdog! Thanks for all the links and birthday wishes! 😀

      I loved the mashup. Scott and I of course always bring our own snacks (when we get to the movies these days) good suggestions. I have a fun snack mix I need to send to you. Hope you guys had a good weekend!

      Ketchup on hot dogs is such an Oak Park thing.
