It’s time to end the week on a food-related note as is our custom here. I was out last evening with some former work colleagues, most of whom I hadn’t seen in quite a while. It was fantastic to see them and to catch up. Most were pleasantly surprised at the physical changes I’ve been making and a few pulled me aside to know how they could do the same. I explained it to them as I did to you all in this space.
Someone ordered some snacks for the group to enjoy as we conversed and imbibed. It was the usual bar food fairly even divided between the pretty healthy yet tasty (veggie plates, humus) and utter crap but so delicious (fried mozzarella). What was interesting to me was who chose to eat (and drink) what – some of the same people who expressed a desire to get healthier were eating the junk and drinking fruity, high sugar drinks. And that’s where the business lesson came in. Continue reading

What Looks Good

For today’s Foodie Friday Fun, I want to talk a bit about shopping. I don’t know how you shop for food but I generally don’t go with a list. Oh sure, at my age I write a bunch of stuff down so I don’t forget things that I need to buy but they tend to be the non-food items or staples for the pantry. The menu is generally dependent on what looks good. Of course I have a vague idea of what I want but I’m rarely married to a menu. This drives the other shopper in the house (to whom I really am married) crazy, especially when she’s the one going to the store and the meal instructions are “buy what looks good.”
Of course, you just know that there’s a business point lurking in here… Continue reading

This Foodie Friday the theme is sauces. I was watching some golf highlights on TV and of course sauces came to mind immediately. I know – my just having said the word makes you think that as well. Or maybe not. So let me explain and you might even see the business point that came to mind.
Let me say up front that what I’m about to say isn’t unique to golf highlights as you’ll see in a minute. I’m watching the highlight and up from the lower portion of the screen comes a graphic describing what I’m seeing (no, the closed captioning wasn’t on..). The graphic obscures a good 15% of the screen and all of the lower part. The issue is that the hole was in the lower part and so the viewer never actually sees the highlight of the ball going in the hole (or maybe it nearly missed – who could tell). What does this have to do with sauces? Continue reading
