Want to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving! Stuff your face with Turkey, Stuffing and Pumpkin pie, but be careful not to over indulge. Enjoy every minute you spend with your family like I will and will blog again around the beginning of December. For now, enjoy the holidays, and if you're shopping on Friday, doing it on-line is better than waiting outside.
Happy Thanksgiving Everybody! :)

Pringles vs Potato chips
I eat both Pringles and Herr's potato chips. They're both good. But to tell you the truth, potato chips and pringles both have shady histories. First potato chips were discovered by mistake by an angry chef who decided to slice the potato so thin that the customer would have to eat it with their hands. Of course they were a hit.
Potato chips have a variety of flavors, brands like Lays or Herr's or the new kettle chips. They have wild flavors, sea salt, no salt. It's amazing how many potato chips brands there are today. It's just amazing there are even wilder flavors out in other countries. In Japan they have a sushi flavor potato chip and in Spain, they have a squid flavor, they even have different color potato chips they call artisan. Some of them aren't even potatoes. Strange that all of this craze started over an angry chef which ingredients included potato, a dash of a salt and a little revenge.
Now pringles have another story. It all started over how chips would break in a bag and would be so greasy. So a scientist from Procter and Gamble decided to come up with a way to make potato chips stack able, uncrushable, and would be in a can and not a bag. So Pringles were born around the 1970's and were a big hit. Claming to be the Potato chips that would be better than any other chip. Only one problem, they weren't potato chips. They were potato flakes. They claimed they were chips, but added "from dried potatoes" So some potato chip companies were outraged and made Procter and Gamble change the product from potato chips to potato flakes. But some people don't care about it tastes, it's the can that draws them to open it and eat all the potato crisps that were in it.
Even though Pringles became something totally different, people still also like potato chips. And like potato chips, pringles also come in different verity of flavors. Unsalted, barbecue, cheese flavor, pizza, you name it.
For me, I love a regular potato chip. Lightly salted, no flavoring whatsoever, but sometimes I will crave a Pringle crisp. Don't know why, but I'm drawn to that can. LOL. Even if you like them, no matter what potato chips are considered the most popular snack food to date. Till then, enjoy the snacking of Pringles or potato chips. Ciao blogger, will blog again soon, before Thanksgiving. :)

Too close to the holidays
Surprisingly, we're seeing more Christmas/thanksgiving commercials on October now. Strange. It seems that Thanksgiving won't take a breather for just one moment and Halloween get through with it's sales. I dread to see what black Friday is going to be like.
Mostly the most painstaking day for me at work is the day before Thanksgiving because, working at a grocery store, it's hell. I go out to dinner afterwards so wiped out that I can't believe how much work I had to do.
Thanksgiving day is hell as well for some businesses. Some stores are closed, but Genaurdi's isn't. Genaurdi's never closes on holidays. They use to when I was little, but now, well, they don't close. They do close the store earlier though.
There are so many toys for kids, and drills for dads and well.. for mom everything else. But the way the economy has been... it's even lucky we get a Christmas tree in our house. This year our family isn't spending too much. I'm alright with that. Will have more presents anyway knowing that my birthday is coming up soon. For now, I'm happy celebrating my birthday along with Christmas. But before my birthday comes, our house has to be decorated. Right now going to try not to die next Wednesday at work while people are getting their last minute thanksgiving crap.
Will blog back again soon before Thanksgiving, but in my opinion, the holidays are coming too quick. Ciao bloggers, for now, blog back again soon.
