Peanut Butter!!!

I just heard that there has been a recall of peanut butter because of possible Salmonella contamination. It's the Peter Pan and Great Value brand names, at least according to the FDA. Check to make sure your peanut butter jars don't have the lot number beginning with "2111", I had to throw away 2 LARGE jars this morning. Peanut butter is very important in the Cadenhead household. Is nothing sacred?!?!

Today's My Birthday!

Yeap, 37 years ago today I was hatched, I mean born. For the past several years I have had a little personal custom of buying myself a birthday gift, usual something I wanted but didn't receive as a gift. Yes, I know I'm shallow. In 2004 I purchased my photo iPod as a gift to myself and last year it was a new pair of hiking boots. This year I thought I would buy myself something a little different. I don't know where the idea came from, probably a podcast, but I decided to give a charitable donation instead of getting some trinket for myself.

After some thought regarding the organization I wanted to donate to I decided on Escape Pod. Yes, maybe it was another superficial decision, I mean Steve Eley is not curing cancer over there. But our family already gives money to groups like Rails-to-Trails and our local children's hospital. Being a science fiction nut I have really enjoyed the stories I've heard on Escape Pod and I respect what Steve is doing, for literature, with his podcast. Besides giving has it's own rewards, such as a warm feeling inside. See I'm not so depthless after all. ;)
