I finally found something coffee-ish I like to drink at Starbuck’s. As some know, I don’t drink any type of coffee. Have always hated it. The only foods I like which are coffee-flavored are the Jamocha Shake at Arby’s and Jamocha ice cream from Baskin-Robbins. I had always avoided Starbucks because I always avoid coffee. This weekend, though, my wife suggested I try a frappuccino and to much delight, I found it’s just a Jamocha Shake.

I’ve been working out a lot lately and pursuing my physical goals (loss of bodyfat and a 365 bench press) as fast as I can. If you look a couple of articles back you’ll see that I just had my body composition tested. This is actually something I have been doing for a long time. When I was still at Illinois State, I used to go to the athletic department and pay them to do a dunk tank body composition test every once in awhile.

Looking down the list of articles on my website you will find my resolutions for 2004. One of them says that I want to get my bodyweight down to 185. Well, I had a bit of a reality check tonight. I went to Bally’s to workout and got my body composition tested. The results were quite surprising to me. The stats they needed to do the test were weight, height, and age.

When I was a youngster, my mother and grandmothers conspired to find novel ways for my brother and I to finish our meals. It was very common, given what a “picky” eater I am (or such is the rumor), that I would eat the items on my plate that I liked and would not touch the items I did not like. They devised the “Clean Plate Club” and it was met, by me, with immediate challenges.

I have discovered something truly remarkable. As anyone who knows me knows, I am a big Chipotle fan. My Chipotle of choice is a Chicken Fajita Burrito. Of course, this type of fare is not what one would usually consider “diet food”. I think a Fajita Burrito weighs in around 2 lbs. At least it feels like 2 lbs. in your stomach once you’ve eaten the Fajita Burrito. Last summer I emailed customer service at Chipotle via a questions form on the Chipotle website.

I am an ice cream junkie. I admit it. I am guilty. I love ice cream. But I have found that I love frozen custard even more. For those of you not familiar with the Illinois and Wisconsin areas, there is a restaurant called Culver’s, found more and more frequently here, that serves fantastic frozen custard. Frozen custard is a premium ice cream made with a little extra egg yolk to create a more velvety smooth texture.

Wow, I’m on a writing binge, here… While sitting back and working on allowing users to leave comments about postings on this site, I was struck with inspiration regarding my current beverage…Lynchburg Lemonade… A curious blend of lemon and Jack Bottled in yellow and ubiquitous black A tasty drink bottled in packs of four Gone from my glass as soon as its poured Sweet and tangy to buzz just a while
