One week of groceries

Check out this Time Magazine slideshow portraying what families around the world eat during a week, and how much they spend on it.

I was glad they exhibited 2 different American families, just to show that we Americans eat more than just chips, pizza, and soda (and don't spend nearly as much). The spending discrepancies from one country to another are incredible.

Anyway, the whole idea is fascinating to me...I have spent a long time poring over these photos. I'd love to see the book Hungry Planet the photos are taken from.

Birthday Wishes


I'm so glad this guy was born 32 years ago. He has been a huge part of my happiness for the last 8 years, and is the father to my three beautiful children. I told him he can never die and never leave. He said okay. I want the whole internet to know that I love him. Happy Birthday, Ak.
