Hot and Hearty

Yummy, a hot, hearty and nutritious meal on the go, on in my case, when I'm too lazy to heat up some ramen noodles.

More MRE

More close-ups.

Close up of MRE

Here's a closer shot, oh yeah, it even included coffee, creamer and sugar! Can't have our boys getting drowsy (or cranky) out there!

MRE

MRE stands for Meals Ready to Eat. I'm lucky enough to work with someone who selflessly devotes himself to the military, as well as works in the same crummy profession I'm in. I asked him once about MRE's as they are fascinating to me for some unknown reason. I mean, a hot, ready to eat meal, with all the trimmings, any time you want? What convenience, what comfort, what simplicity! So he mentioned to me that he had one laying around and I was welcome to it! Woo-Hoo.

Here you go with pics! The one I got is Rice, beans and Cajun Sausage. It also comes with just about everything you could think of in a meal, from a mini tabasco (which lek, absolutely adored), to grape drink mix (Army issued kool-aid?!) Total items included - the meal in a pouch, like the kind caprisun drinks come in, so it can be heated. A heating element, a chocolate bar, Crackers with a tube of cheese (what? it's no different than that can of EZcheese I've seen you sucking down!), condiments, a plastic spoon, and the already mentioned grape drink mix.

I'm Salivating over the iPhone!

Ok, I'm an admitted fanboy of everything Apple! I love all their products, from the Macbook to the many variations of the iPod. I'm sure all of you also know, I'm a very big fan of gadgets in general and right now I'm sporting a not too fashionable, but very capable Treo 700P. Well now Apple has gone and announced the upcoming release of their very own new gadget phone - the iPhone. The skinny of it is, it's gorgeous! The widescreen is absolutely awesome. With built in sensors that automatically dim the screen when it senses your skin (such as when on a call, saves power, prevents accidental dials), senses when you wish to view in landscape mode and automatically adjusts, and even dims or brightens the keys and display according to how much ambient light it detects. WOW! It has an awesome interface, is very slim and sexy looking and plays movies and itunes every bit as easy as the iPod does. It also have a version of safari browser built in, and with the supported wifi, allows you to comfortably browse. Without wifi, it's a pokey slow EDGE network. No 3G, so browsing the web is probably going to suck unless you're in a hotspot. Another bummer is the lack of a keyboard. I hate typing on the screen, hopefully some companies will have some external keyboards. It's offered only on Cingular, which sucks, cause I finally got Verizon to just where I like it. Any way, some pics! Photos courtesy of treocentral.com

Fantastic Four, Rise of the Silver Surfer

The Trailer for the next Fantastic Four movie is here. I didn't like the first movie at all, it was way too dull. The only thing it had going for it was Jessica Alba. The second one though looks pretty interesting, and Silver Surfer looks great! If Silver Surfer is here, you know who else will be don't you? I'm thinking Galactus!

Happy Holidays

Just a little reminder to be safe this holiday season!

Heroes

I've been very, very bad with posting lately. I'm sorry. All I've really been doing is studying and working. In between, I try to hit the gym and lose some of this flab I've recently acquired. The only thing I've been able to do lately of any enjoyment is watch this series "Heroes" I don't really have time to watch the show when it normally airs, but I've been lucky enough to watch it on www.peekvid.com (which is an awesome website btw). Heroes is also available for download on NBC's website. Check it out, it's a great show, especially if you grew up on comics like I did!

Spiderman 3

I can't wait!

Can anyone say Kharma?

I love watching scumbags get creamed.

Gookie?

Well, I guess Political Correctness still hasn't tainted the good souls at our local Chinese Market. I thought "nips" was pretty bad, but here is a product called "Gookie" cookies. In a Chinese supermarket. Nobody even batts an eyelash....

Trick or Treat!

Too cute. I had to work on Halloween, so I missed out on all the festivities. Lek was working too, but she was still allowed to dress up. Here she is in an adorable Lady-Bug costume! At least I did manage to grab some candy from some unsuspecting kids! Brhahahahaha (evil laugh).

Footlocker Discount

As you know, every now and then people will forward me a coupon for a discount for some company or another, and I'll try to forward it to you. They are usually really good, and in this case we can thank Seth for his generosity. This is good for this weekend only, so jump on it, maybe use this to get a jump on Christmas shopping! Enjoy!

Haunted Hayride!

Well Lek still only has one day off a week, so whenever she's off, we try to do something fun that day. Being that Halloween is so close, we decided to do something halloween themed, and what's spookier and scarier then a Hanunted Hayride? Normally I've gone to the one way up in Tuxedo NY, by Sterling Forest. Although, that place has always been fun, they don't operate on Wednesdays. Incidentally, I got hooked on the whole Haunted House/Haunted Hayride thing since the Haunted House in New Rochelle. I went there often while I was a young teen in Westchester, so haunted houses always bring nostalgia for me. We instead found this place

It seems far since it's all the way in Pennsylvania, but it's really not too bad since it's only a few minutes off the NJ turnpike. Door to door was a little over an hour and a half (but I drive pretty fast). We had awesome baby back ribs at Churchville's, then went off to the Hayride. I purchased our tickets online saving a couple of bucks, so a full pass cost me $24 each. That includes a hayride, 3 haunted houses and a trek through the "valley of fear". Over all everything was very well done, but I definately think if I'd had kids, I probably would have had a better time, as they'd probably would have crapped their pants.

Cute Bartender

After dinner, we headed out to Lek's restaurant to grab a couple of cocktails and to see Lek in action. It's a great place and the ambiance is terrific. It's not so much a watering hole as a bar for the restaurant. If the prices were a little more reasonable, I'd definately dine here more often

Panna II

I'm sure if you've been following my blog, you've noticed a common recurring theme - I love this place. My brother offered to take me out, so he asked where I'd like to go? I mentioned this place and his initial reaction was "why? lets go someplace nice". Well I actually like this place, and not only cause it's dirt cheap, so off we went! Jeff, Pat, My brother and I, my closest friends since our birthdays only had 1 digit in them.

Panna was packed and at one point they tried to squeeze 4 of us into a tiny 2 person table, by the busy front door. BT wasn't having it, so after some snooty looking, suburbia girls changed their minds and left, we grabbed their table.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Kept it low key this year, had dinner with the boys at Panna II, one of my favorite budget eateries. No cake, but they give you ice cream and play funky indian music while the lights pulsate. Pretty neat.
