My Dad has this fishing guide Josh who’s got the magic touch. Every time they go out with him they come back with freezer loads of halibut and salmon.

Will Aspartame Kill You?
“… aspartame has been approved for human consumption by regulatory agencies in more than 100 countries and received wide consumer acceptance with consumption by hundreds of millions of people over the past 20 years, representing billions of man-years of safe exposure.”
No, Dumbass. Here’s Why.

Thanks Dave.
This is Us – Kate and Toby
Have you been watching This is Us?
It’s excellent.
One of the story lines is the charming romance of two obese characters.
That’s Chrissy Metz as Kate Pearson. And Chris Sullivan as Toby, her boyfriend.
37% of Americans are currently obese (50% obese by 2020).
34% more are currently overweight.
Fad diets and reality TV doctors don’t seem to be helping. Overweight in the 1st world is here to stay, I think.
Canada Day long weekend photos
Ron and Kate visited Calgary. Great food, too much booze, uncomfortable nudity and much hilarity ensued.

WHEN will people stop eating there?
STOP the madness. 🙂

Turkish pizza – Pide
Any visitor will tell you Turkish cuisine is one of the highlights.
Not me. I found it a bit bland. Predictable.
Restaurants all tend to have the same things on their menus. Similar ingredients are used in traditional meals.
One highlight for me, however, is Turkish Pizza.
Pide is a flat-bread of a similar style to pita, chapati, or western pizza crust. A proper pide should be baked in a brick or other stone oven.
Over a week in Goreme I ate at Firin Express four times. Three times I had Turkish pizza (Pide). Once pizza pizza. Also excellent.
Once exception was the Nazik Ana restaurant in Bodrum. Popular with local workmen and police, it delivers typical Turkish food with a twist. And in a stylish, unique space.
