It's been a couple years since I actually read a book - been doin' the audio thing.


Switched over to ebooks ~'99-'00

Rocket ebook

Then I had a Palm OS (Tungsten I think) that I used as an e-reader

The Palm OS was B&W, went color with the Sony Clie (games too):

I believe I switched to the iPod Touch after that, initially e-reading, until I found some (free) audio books :D

And what is so special about GREEK yogurt??? That's all we hear about now is GREEK yogurt. If I have to see one more commercial with John Stamos pitching "YOIKOS" GREEK yogurt, I will vomit.

Something about the specific strains of bacteria they use as compared to the mass-produced, but less effective/healthy strains used in many commercial USA stuff. So now, everyone is getting on the Greek bandwagon. However, some of it is probably marketing hype about the STYLE (consistency) and not true Greek yogurt with authentic bacteria.

So it's a style thing and also an authentic bacteria thing. Many don't care. This article seems to indicate that it doesn't matter:
Benefits of Greek Yogurt vs Plain Yogurt

I'm not thrilled with greek yogurt- it's not sweet enough for me. I like yogurt with enough sugar in it that it doesn't actually taste anything like yogurt... :facepalm:

and then i add the type of granola that has lots of sugar too :facepalm::facepalm:

(lunch time flyby)

Hmmm, never tried any of that yogurt :ohmy: Sounds like something I may actually be able to eat :D. I'd sooner run a goose rescue shelter than eat yogurt :glare:

it's the only yoghurt with live cultures and oh, btw:

For the curdled-milk-based, custardlike food with a tart flavor, yoghurt is the preferred spelling in the main varieties of English from outside North America. Yogurt is preferred in American and Canadian English. They are variant spellings of the same word, and neither has any meanings all its own. A third spelling, yoghourt, is rare in this century.

The word, which came from Turkish around the early 17th century,1 had many spellings through its early years in English, including yoghurd, yogourt, and yahourt.2 In British English, yoghourt, yoghurt, and yogurt vied for ascendancy through the middle 20th century, but by 2000 yoghurt was more common by a large margin.3 The North American spelling was settled around 1960.


and i'm off for my nap ;)

Like "wood-fired pizza". that's ALL we heard a few years back... wood-fired pizza this and wood-fired pizza that.

Then ANYTHING wood-fired.

People adding "wood-fire" ovens to their homes.

If I wanted my pizza to taste like a pine tree, I'd add pine cones.
