Nutella Lawsuit
Category: food
Wow the legal system is getting so ridiculous.

(CBS News) Is Nutella, the popular chocolate-hazelnut spread, actually good for you? A class-action lawsuit over the spread's purported health claims has just been settled, with a judge siding with a parent who says she was duped into believing it was good for her kids.Nutella-maker Ferrero USA, Inc. will pay out $3.05 million as part of the settlement, with $2.5 million to be divided among consumers who file a claim, the New York Daily News reported.

Wegmans Aspagus Scam
Category: food
wegmans had some great looking large aspagargus at the very reasonable price of $1.99/ lb. About 5 feet away from the display and big $1.99/lb sign was the same exact aspagus wrapped in celephane on styrofoam trays.

If you look carefully you see that the price is astronomically higher. The smaller pack was $4.99/lb. The larger pack was $3.99/lb. Surely the little styrofoam tray and plastic wrap can't be that expensive.

My feeling is that this is a scam for people that don't carefully pay attention as much as I do. You walk in, see the $1.99/lb sign. decide you want more than one bunch worth so you pick up a tray and bam - $3.00 extra dollars per pound. I think most people would have assumed the larger amount woukd be cheaper if anything. Its not like they had a sign saying $4.99/lb above those items.

Snow in April
Category: weather
I hope that snow was the last we see for a long time. I wonder if the pear tree will fruit because the blossoms got snowed on.

Hayes Fish Market

At Hayes fish market in Kenmore they have some great fried shrimp. I had this for lunch on the way back from the dentist yesterday. There were actually more shrimp than you see as I had eaten a bunch before I realized I should take a pig.
