52 Living: Oopsy!
Other than ripped what title would you give this picture...?
Hmmm... embarrassing perhaps? Well, that was precisely the word that flashed across my mind as I discovered (at home) what had happened to my pants (at work). Mortification indeed! Thank goodness for long work shirts!

Favorite Food Friday
Today's featured food favorite is actually a product I was first introduced to after I began work at the university farm store. These Multigran Chips from Food Should Taste Good are amazing!!The entire brand is actually wonderful; however, these chips take the cake for me! Each chip is sturdy and thick with great texture and unique visual appeal (gotta love the octagonal shape and the flax seeds!).
Not only is this chip packed with monounsaturated fat (4 g) and light on the saturated fat (1g), each serving offers 3 grams of fiber--details I know that you non-nutrition people probably were dying to know!
They make a delightful foundation for nachos and nicely accompany chili or soup. They even work well as a cracker replacement when you want something crunchy to go along side your afternoon snack of apples and cheese but are all out of crackers!
Many of the major grocery stores and food marts have them (bless me... even Starbucks carries some of their products!). Go HERE to find out a location near you that carries theses ymmies. Enjoy!

Seasonal Science...Fudge!
Tis the Season for goodies, sweets and holiday treats! Along with sugar cookies and caramel corn, fudge is one the the traditional yummies that are commonly made around Christmas and New Years.
If you need inspiration to get one last batch made or if you are simply curious about how it is made, check out this video that explains the science behind the fudge! We actually watched this in our Experiemental Food Science class last year! Way cool!

Super Links
It almost pains me to have my first post after a 3 month hiatus be a simple blog link, but this link is just too fascinating not to share as soon as I found it! The blog is called Tip Junkie. Ultimately this blog is a go-to resource for all things homey and creative! In many ways it is a compilation of many people’s ideas. Some are links to other people's blog post while others are items that readers submit. This site contains everything from recipes to organizational methods to decorations and crafts.
Some of you Christmas Crafties might want to know about it in time to print some super cute and simple labels out for your packages. To find such items I suggest you utilize the search box by typing in "free pintables" and "gift tags" or “labels” Check it out... there is something for everyone!

Wednesday Writing Bits
I recently flew home from an delightful visit to my sweet Married-Sis who lives out of state, and while flying back home I made the following observations in my writing notebook. Admittedly, the paragraph sounds a bit morbid. It certainly was not meant to be so. I suppose it was one of those moments where you just had to be there to catch the romance of the moment. I wasn’t scared to fly and I was totally comfortable, so I don’t know what else I can I say about it other than scraps of weird thoughts hit me at weird moments in time.
"A wrinkled white hand, yellowed by the airplane’s cabin lights, extended itself upward, wandering it’s way along the buttons and knobs like the appendage of a ghostly soul in a lonely/futile search of a lost memory. Periodically, other such hands (some young, some almost as old as the first) restlessly wavered their way up from the grey-backed seats that linied the cabin like solemn rows of lonely grave stones."
Yeah kinda wierd but really, anyone who has flown anywhere knows how wierd it looks when, in the dim light of the cabin all you can see are peoples' hands waving mysteriously above their heads in search of the AC twisty knob or the reading ligth push button.
