Frozen Meat; to be or not to be...

So I want to know who decided that it is a bad idea to freeze meat? I see all these fast food commercials that advertise "never frozen" and other dining establishments advertise that your meal is "not made until you order it." All I'm saying is I live in San Diego, and I don't see In-and-Out having a cow in the back next to the fry making machine freely giving out chunks of his or her "filet mignon"...or any near by farms delivering sides of beef on a daily basis. How do they keep the meat fresh? A refrigerator? Don't get me wrong...I LOVE fast food (especially In-and-Out, btw)...it's fast, it's cheap, and it's usually super yummie, but I would much prefer to have my meat frozen...at least then I know it has been kept in a state where it is not slowly decaying on its trip from god knows where! I freeze meat all the time...and then i cook it and it's good. The days of salting meat to keep it fresh longer are so last century...I say we move over to the freezer where it's nice and cool.

Kayaking Fun

Yesterday Ryan and I went Kayaking in La Jolla. We first went to the official cool La Jolla Kayaking place and it was sold out for hours. We didn't want to wait, so we opted to try for next weekend. Our intention was to make reservations sometime during this week. As we are walking towards our car, we notice this seedy little sigh saying something about "Kayaking Cave Tours" and we decide to check it out. So it's 11:19, when we walk in to the place that we are pretty sure is some guys apartment, and we ask if they have anything available for the day. He's like "sure, we got spots available for 11:30." So in 10 minutes time, Ryan and I are dragging a huge kayak into the Pacific, towards sharks, which we saw tons of. Don't worry though, they were only a few feet long, and I'm told they are bottom feeders. Once we were out at sea, it was absolutely amazing! The only draw back was I got super burnt. I didn't even think I would be able to put on clothes today in order to go to work. Here's just an example of how burnt I got!

Kayaking in La Jolla, I totally recomend it. Just remember to bring your sunscreen!

Calorie Scams

I've decided that calories on the nutritional value labels are scams. Think about how often you read the package of *insert your favorite treats here* and you think, "oh, it's only 350 calories." When infact it's actually 1050 calories because there are three servings in the tiny treat! I think the package should say 1050 calories total, and then you can eat half the treat and feel good that you only had 525 calories.

I'm hungry!
