Prunes
I don't like prunes. I've never liked prunes. However, if you visit our apartment, you'll seen many homages to this sweet and sticky fruit. Why on earth would I eat something I don't like? Well, they're great for digestive health and nowadays, I'll eat anything to get me "going."
Here are the different ways I've incorporated thisyucky special fruit into my diet:
Here are the different ways I've incorporated this
- Initially I tried eating prunes straight from the jar. (Bad Idea. They're

A couple of weeks ago I noticed a strange rhythmic thumping in my belly. It almost seemed like Baby Norris was keeping time to music. After noticing this strange phenomenon several other times I started to wonder... was Baby Chuck Norris a musical prodigy? Is he taking after his namesake?

Hmm. Well, after some extensive internet searching, I found out that sadly, Baby Chuck Norris is not a musical prodigy. He just has baby hiccups. :) How cute is that?
(By the way, Baby Norris is still not here.)
They do say that (the real) Chuck Norris:
- can play techno music with his heart
- can stop the music
- taught Jimi Hendrix to play guitar
- can conduct an orchestra using subtle variations of roundhouse kicks
