I'm curious now about the proposed merger of Atom and RSS. Exciting stuff. I think it's funny that some girl was named Diot Coke back in 1379 A.D. No more recess for you, kid. We tried the new Pizza Hut "4-for-all" pizza over the weekend. It was okay, but not earth-shattering.

As you've probably read, over the past few months we've been trying some of the 'healthy' butter/margarine alternatives on the market. What most of these have in common is their slipperier-than-water texture (probably because of containing no trans fatty acids), which is interesting (and sometimes frustrating). 'Country Crock Light', 'Benecol Light', and 'Take Control Light' all taste surprisingly good, but there is one clear loser out there: 'Smart Balance'. The texture is all wrong - it's rock solid, and has separated into two distinct parts in our container, a light-colored outer ring, and a dark inner core. Very disturbing. It's too solid to spread on bread, so it's only practical use is being melted to pour over popcorn. I cannot recommend Smart Balance. We've also dabbled a bit with some Mori-Nu Silken Tofu smoothies, and they're actually not too bad. Who knew that 'health' drinks could be so tasty?!
