Into Diet Mode and a Walk in Grand Rapids

I have decided to start eating healthy again. For a while I have went off of my low-sodium healthy foods kick and now I want it back! I work exactly one mile from my apartment in downtown Grand Rapids, MI and thus have decided to walk to and from work every day. Today for lunch I have various fruits and rice which I added spices, carrots, onions and green-pepper to. Wish me good luck!

Low Sodium Breakfast Burritos

Introduction
Breakfast Burritoes I came home late one night with limited ingredients in my fridge that I wanted to use up. So, I grabbed a few ingredients, some tortilla shells, spices, and wa-la! Deliciousness was made. If you want a low-sodium version of this, just look for salt-free tortillas at the store. Meijer’s sells them in the non-refrigerated section of their ethnic foods. I’ve also found some tortillas at Family Fare made by Aztec that are salt free. They’re typically the smallest tortilla shells you can find. I have yet to find large burrito shells that are salt free.

Ingredients
2-3 Eggs
1 Green Pepper
1 Tomato
1/4 Red Onion
Small Tortilla Shells
Crushed/Dried red peppers
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
Garlic Powder
Salsa (optional)
Grated Cheese (optional)

Instructions
Finely dice up the peppers, onions and tomatoes as best you can. Cook the green peppers, onions, and tomatoes in a skillet on medium heat until the water from the tomatoes are almost evaporated. While cooking apply a light helping of red pepper, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Scramble up the eggs and poor them on top of the vegetables. Mix around until the eggs are fully cooked (they should look like scrambled eggs with stuff in them). In another skillet on low heat gently warm the tortilla shells for 30 seconds on each side. Once eggs are fully cooked put egg mixture in the warmed tortilla shells, apply cheese if desired, and wrap them up. Sometimes these are good with a little bit of salsa on them.

Dan Vs. Ben (Weewar)I started playing weewar towards the end of last week to discover it’s the most addicting game ever made in a multi-player Ajax environment. For those of you who would like to play, please click this link or contact me via email or AIM (TheWLBL). Currently the game is by referral basis only, so creating an account without knowing someone on the “inside” wont work.

The search for (sexy) cars

Yesterday, March 31st, 2007 I went to the 28th Street Toyota dealership to see what a Scion tC looks like in person. Martha took some pictures as I talked with the sales person. The sales person, Alfred Luke, seemed very knowledgeable about the Scion tC. He started by showing us his 2005 Scion tC that he owns himself.

Originally I had assumed that I needed to request what parts I wanted “special” on the car, and they would then have it shipped from Japan. But, come to find out, all of the parts they install right there. So, if I wanted to purchase the car I was looking at, all they would do is install the parts to that very one.

All in all, the total price will be $19927 MSRP after I put in all my eye-candy goodies.

Tootles,

I logged into Yahoo

Today, I logged into yahoo to find that I was presented with an advertisement from Sprint. They were advertising like they typically do on the right side of my email client, but today they caught my eye. They had an advertisement for a sleek looking cell-phone (M610 by Samsung). So, curiously, I clicked it. Low and behold it loaded in a Valentines Day looking Flash Applet. This would be fine, except everywhere it said “Undefined” (meaning the flash didn’t load an xml source correctly somewhere). Oops, that’s what is known as a loss in profit.

I found the correct path. I just stripped off the GET crap in the url and everything loaded correctly. But, as you may see, it still didn’t take me directly to information on that cell phone. I gave up looking in frustration and posted this instead. Good think I went with Verizon Wireless.

Tootles,
Daniel Slaughter
