WARNING: NOT FOR CONSUMPTION BY HUMANS!!!
… tho you might be fooled what w/ the deluxe aqua can and the name of this prod for cats: Yellowfin Tuna Florentine in a delicate sauce w/ garden greens, part of a new line by Fancy Feast called elegant medleys. ball, my Siamese guy, is the fussiest diner on 4 legs (a condition for which I cannot be held responsible, since he was already that way when I adopted him from the shelter), so I’m always trying to find food that’ll please His Nibs. but doesn’t this seem totally stupid? what cat gives a sh*t about whether he’s eating yellowfin or albacore?? yet here’s the sick thing: ball looooved this. loved its creamy sauce, its spinach shreds, ate all the #$& yellowfin in the bowl. but here’s a surprise not: this stuff goes for .79 vs the .50 that regular fancy feast costs

Back to people stuff tomorrow

sumfin different today, hope the links work:

* Mcdonald’s just figured out that people are drinking bevs other than Coke, and is testing alternatives from coke’s competitors in some Texas outlets. (But don’t worry, they say; maybe if people come in to buy an iced tea, they’ll get a coke too!)
* Houlihan’s is coming back to Dallas, sez the Dallas Biz Journal. (Unfortunately, the CEO says the following: “it’s not your father’s Houlihan’s”. a certain pompous, old-coot writer at the dallas morning snews uses that “it’s not your father’s blah-blah” cliche all-the-time. it’s the ultimate in hackery. But I digress.) W/ this big “comeback” (snicker) Houlihan’s will tout a “foodie-oriented menu”: goat chz bruschetta, pan-seared tilapia, and mustard-encrusted salmon. whooHOO. & instedda golden oldies, the music’ll be “indie sounds”. (Not making this up) the D branch will be across from northpark.
* Whole Foods is trying to figure out humane ways to sell live lobster. by giving them little “condos”. if that doesn’t work, they may stop selling them altogether. If you don’t really give a shit about how horridly most supermarket chicken-pork-beef has been treated, then maybe you’ll respond to this: humane processing makes the food taste better.
* 1 cup of coffee a day cut the risk of cirrhosis by 20%, sez a study of more than 125K people. Four cups /day cut it by 80 %.

Hey looky, it’s a “news story” taken straight off a press release — just like they do at daily newspapers! It’s only a matter of time before you’ll be wading through ponderous “profiles” of VIP chefs here. But I digress. Have you noticed: Copper River salmon has entered the backlash zone? People are saying too-much-hype. The pump is thus primed for a new, harder-to-get, pricier salmon. Oceanaire is bringin’ it on: Yukon River king salmon, said to be rarer, intenser flavor, and previously hogged by the Japanese. The true Copper-vs-Yukon showdown is all about fat content; more is better. Yukons swim 2000 miles to spawn = 20-30% fat. Wimpy Coppers swim 350 miles and thus = a svelte 12%. Anyway, back to the press release: Yukon River king salmon at Oceanaire, starting this week, 13340 dallas pkwy, 972-759-2277
