Eating healthy..
You know, I never realized just how easy (and tasty) it is to eat healthy until I met my wife who has some digestive issues that more or less mandate that she eats a low fat diet. I guess it helps that I enjoy cooking as a creative process, but it's really very, very easy to eat well and eat good at the same time. Most anything I make takes very little preparation or complex cooking technique. Fast, easy, cheap and good. Yeehaw! If any of you are aspiring psuedo-chefs like myself, or interested in swapping ideas.. let's do it!
And now for something completely different:
You guys ever do the stupid Tickle tests? I just did for the hell of it and thought they were interesting. Here's what I got... although, it occurs to me that they're not likely to tell you that you're dumber than a box of rocks and a real a-hole when they're trying to get you to shell out an extra $10 for the full report. Hehe.. it might be fun to try and retake those tests with some decidedly BAD answers. =]

IQ Test:
Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.
Personality Test:
Art, you're a Chosen One!
Your personality is actually determined by two personality sub-types - your primary, or dominant sub-type, and your secondary sub-type. You are a Chosen One which means you are a Golden / Seeker Your primary sub-type is defined by "Golden" characteristics and your secondary sub-type is defined by "Seeker" characteristics.
That means you're warm, giving, knowing, and patient. Chances are you're not afraid to actively pursue your goals and dreams. As if all that weren't enough, you pretty much set the standard for emotional health by being filled with positive feelings and energy.
How do we know all this? How do we know that you'd be a great person in an emergency? Or that you always return phone calls? How could we have divined that you're no fair-weather friend?
Because while you were taking the test, you answered four different types of questions — questions that measured confidence, apprehension, willingness to take risks, and your focus on experience versus appearance — the primary traits that determine your personality. Based on your responses, we determined your personality type, Chosen One.
And that's just scratching the surface.
(LOL... I-I-I-I... I WANT THE KNIFE! PLEEEEEEZE?)
Career Test:
Art, the Right Job for you will allow you to be:
Analytical and Creative
As an Analytical type, you don't want to be limited by established rules and regulations. Your inquisitive nature demands that you sometimes question authority. Otherwise, you might not be able to find fresh approaches, or come up with new solutions to a problem. It's not that you act without weighing the pros and cons of a situation — it's more that you're more willing than others to take justifiable risks if they'll further your career success.
You're smart enough to know when you need help and are confident enough in your abilities to ask for it. You understand that sometimes there are no clear right and wrong answers, and that's just fine with you because you tolerate gray areas better than most. In fact, pondering potential outcomes can sometimes be more interesting than coming up with the definitive solution for you.
