the tonight show

  Jimmy Fallon is now hosting the tonight show and just started last night. Had some mixed reviews in my opinion, but I think he did a great job. But then I remembered Johnny Carson. The man who started it all.


   Carson is no longer with us but he will always leave an impression in our hearts. Even the old "And now, Heeeeeeeereeeee's Johnny!!!!" Is a catchprhase that will never die on us that's for ages to come. Even when he left the stage for retirement in May of 1992 and Jay Leno came into the picture

  He was ok, but he was no Johnny Carson, but he had some tragedies that followed him. The death of his father, mother and brother but he always had his love affair with cars. He had a lot of cars. It was his hobby and he enjoyed fixing them and driving them and now, he is now retired and is now Jimmy Fallon's turn to follow in some HUGE footsteps

  The first episode was pretty good, almost everyone came and gave him $100 when he said "you know who you are and betted me a hundred dollars that I couldn't do it" He also had Will Smith on and U2. Was very good, not great nothing like Johnny Carson but I will watch him (he is better than Conan) Johnny Carson had Ed McManhon Jimmy Fallon doesn't have a sidekick like Conan O'Brien does or Craig Ferguson (he has a skeleton as a sidekick) then again, it's just his first week. I applaud him, and wish him good luck. Till then, ciao bloggers

Food History

  Why am I blogging about this? Well maybe because food fascinates me, but in a different way. I love the history of it. Mostly how it began and how it became what it is today. How food became what it is where it started and how it grew to be what it is today.

   What do I mean by that. I love to know the history behind the food like Pizza and Cookies and Barbecue. Where did it all start, how did it all start, and did you know some of them were created mostly by accident?

    Yes if it weren't for a disgruntle cook cutting thin slices of potatoes and frying them in a fryer, we wouldn't have potato chips. If it weren't for a woman trying to make a chocolate cookie and cutting out a semi sweet chocolate bar, only to have it stay in shape, we wouldn't have chocolate chip cookies. If it weren't for an ice cream man running out of dishes at the 1904 St. Louis world's fair and having a waffle maker make a cone for the ice cream, we wouldn't have the ice cream cone.

   Some foods are thought up by pure accident, or genius by people who didn't know what they were doing at the time. A twelve year old discovered the pop-sickle, The Eskimo pie was thought up by a man who ran a candy store and a girl couldn't choose between chocolate or ice cream. So he made something that made food history.

   If it weren't for some ingenious inventors we wouldn't have the food we discovered today. I love food history. I don't why, but it intrigues me so, and I will study it more like those people who write the history of pizza or pasta or spam. I think I was put on earth not to only write, learn astrology and celebrity birthdays, but to discover a hidden talent of the history of food. We eat food everyday.
 
  There is always a history behind our favorite foods, how it started what happened to the people behind these creations. Corneal Harland Sanders (the man who gave us KFC) actually ran a gas station and made fried chicken as well, but everyone loved the fried chicken and purchased that more than gas, that he opened Kentucky Fried Chicken. He is now buried in his trademark suit and another is in the Smithsonian *or so I'm told*

 Ben and Jerry wanted to make Bagels, but that was too expensive, and went on to do Ice Cream and it was worth it. They are retired but the business still goes on strong. I love watching History Channel when they talk about food like "American Eats" mostly because you learn the history behind the food. And I know a lot about food, and not just eating it. Till then enjoy what you eat and learn the whole history behind it. Ciao Bloggers.

when wil this cold hell end??

 Seriously, I mean seriously!!! I can't stand one more snow storm that will cause us to loose our minds, and power. The cold is starting to affect us in the worst way possible. I hate it so much.

   I think hell has beyond frozen over with this cold mother nature has given us. What have we done to deserve this??? I hate this weather. I don't mind the cold yes, but this cold?? TOO MUCH ALREADY. I've been hearing on the news how many people are sick and tired o this weather. Even a little boy screaming "JEASUS MAKE IT WARM" has made a YouTube sensation just like the kid, who's brother wouldn't stop biting his finger nonstop.

    I guess with snow like this we are pondering what will summer be like. I mean what will it be like? Will it be hotter than hell? Will we be burning our feet off will we try to find relief as best as we can? As we braes ourselves with the next storm, grocery stories 7-11's wawa's are going to have to suffer many customers are coming in for Milk, Eggs, Bread "they need to make french toast people!!!!!" But believe the worst isn't over until we see this snow die and spring arise once more. When will that be? Some people are begging for spring. I know we're going to have rain, but I want the nice sunny weather you get on April 25th, a wonderful perfect date where all you need is a light jacket.

   I just want winter to end. I don't believe in a rodent's prediction that groundhog is going to die this year from predicting six more weeks of winter. Till then, try to think of a warm place in your mind. Before you know it, summer will be here and we'll be compiling about the heat. In the words of my grandma: "It's a rule man's a fool, when it's hot, he wants it cool. When it's cool, he wants it hot. Always wanting what it's not." Till then enjoy what we got. Electricity. Till then Ciao Bloggers and happy Valentine's day.

super bowl this year??

  Well it came and it went, just like the year so far, and not only did lose and actor from a drug overdose and a groundhog predict six more weeks of winter, we have seen a superbowl game. A very HORRIBLE game.

   Seemed as if the Seahawks creamed the Broncos so bad, they didn't want to show a great game at all (well unless you live in Seattle of course) It was just nothing buth win, before win, before win, before win. It seemed that Denver couldn't win at all. They couldn't even get one foot pass the goal let alone get fumbles and Seatle with the ball.

   Seattle must be head over heals over their win for sure. I don't think it was an honest. Sure it's the first ime they win, but they just kept creaming the Broncos. I remember a Simpson episode where Homer wanted to own the *shrug* Dallas Cowboys, he ends up getting the Denver Broncos. LOL Well let's just say bad trade. Don't think Peyton Manning was happy either, and he doesn't seem like a bad guy. Better than Tom Brady.

  The Commercials this year were ok. Not great. Doritos had a good one involving a time machine that ran on doritos. LOL There was a cute one (by budwiser of course) that involved a puppy and a horse (clydesdale) that love each other. John Stamos (sexy at 50) with his yogurt fetish *although we had to deal with Danny and Joey*  why is he always hot? well Like I said some people look forward to the game, other look forward to the commercials and some look forward to halftime. Bruno did a great job, but Red Hot Chilli Peppers really??? But it was still good.

 All in all a boring game, good and bad commercials interesting halftime and well it was just fun. Till then Ciao Bloggers!

FEBRURARY ALL READY????????

Really? I mean where the heck has the time gone? What happens to January? Woosh. Dissappeared as if we didn't have one. What is with this year? Is it trying to end all ready? Mabye good, maybe bad. Life is...
                                                     after all
                                                          short. We need to spend as much time as we have on Earth before it is too late and we vanish with time ourselves.


  But at least, in this short month, we can remember some important things such as Black history Month, Fire Safety month and Heart health month. But that's one short month to remember all that.


 I know we should remember many things about February that made it famous, along with remembering out famous black people who made history; it is also known as THE SHORTEST MONTH OF ALL. unless it's a leap year and you get a 29 out of it.


What I'm trying to say is this month will go by faster than a speeding bullet and we'll in be March before we know it. Enjoy February while you can and hopefully we'll have a fast ending winter soon. Till then, Ciao bloggers.
