Steak Toaster

New electric grill that takes true grilling to the table. With SteakHouse Grill, food products cook without coming into contact with their fats as is true with traditional grilling. It leaves behind neither smoke nor smells in the kitchen. In fact, its vertical position ensures that the fats drain into the special tray. Not only is the food lighter and tastier, but this also prevents the formation of annoying smoke as the fats stay far away from the heating elements. It is kept in a vertical position while cooking by the special internal grill equipped with springs that adapt to foods having different thicknesses, from 3 cm down to half a centimetre. The two vertical plates also guarantee cooking is completed in half the time because the foods cook on both sides at the same time, and without having to turn them over.

RIP – The Joshua Tree

The pictures that follow are of the famous tree featured on the sleeve of U2’s Joshua Tree album. I first visited the Tree in May 1999, and returned several times once I moved to California. In October 2000 it was reported in the U2 fan community that the Tree had fallen down. I took a trip into the desert soon afterward, and sadly the Tree has indeed fallen over.

Asthma/Allergy Doctor Visit

  • Two weeks ago I had my first ever asthma attack which resulted in today’s doctors visit.  I am now battling a case of bronchitis and that skewed the results of some of my breathing tests.
  • The waiting room had a section that was for adults only (insert joke here); however, a jr high kid was sitting in the area.  Either he’s a rebel or he thinks highly of himself. 
  • I was very impressed with the doctor as he was very thorough and actually personable.  He even asked me if I had any hobbies, and I said blogging.  My answer intrigued him as he asked what exactly is blogging and why would anyone ever visit my website.  I told him a little bit about BON and answered a few more questions about content and traffic.  He added, “That many people find your life intriguing?”  That made me laugh.  He asked if this this visit was going to make the blog, and I mentioned that it would because I took a picture of his brand new exam room that looks straight out of the 60’s.
