Last time I walked through the entire grocery store, I was amazed at how there is now an entire aisle of ketchup, mustard, mayo and barbecue sauces. Mixed in with those are also all the marinades. Marinades are great for when you are grilling and for helping to tenderize cheaper, tougher cuts of meat. I use a marinade on the plank steaks and it makes the meat more tender and gives it a lot of flavor. If you like a hearty sauce, try the new A-1 Chicago style marinade on your next steak. It rocks!

Flat Rate Shipping

When is the last time you had to ship anything at the post office? I can tell you it has been a very long time since I had to find a box, put stuff in it and then haul it to the post office.
Nowadays they are making it easier for you to deal with the box end of it. They have free boxes in several sizes that you can use to ship your stuff. Anything that you can cram into the box goes for a flat rate. How cool is that?
Lightning Strike

Unbelievable what happened to me this morning. My house got hit by lightning and it blew up all my TVs, my Playstation and my computer. Thank God my lap top was not plugged into the wall or it would have been struck, too. What a pain in the ass to have to deal with replacing all this stuff and paying a big fat deductible to the insurance company just to get my stuff back.
Ice Cold Watermelon

One of the best things about summer is having ice cold watermelon for a snack. I just love the taste of watermelon and other melons like cantaloupe and honeydews. Around here you can buy a huge cantaloupe for about $2 and a whole seedless watermelon for about $5.
The new seedless watermelons are great – no more biting down hard on an unexpected black seed and hurting a tooth! I don’t really understand how they grow seedless watermelons, but I’m really glad someone figured it out!
