Come in and get the great tasting Sierra deLite bar for only $3.25 today (regularly $4.50). This bar is one of our most popular bakery items and is full of chopped pecans, almonds, and chocolate. It was a little weird in the college football word this weekend. Nine of the top 25 teams fell this week and six of those loses came at the hands of unranked teams. While I was sad to see Florida go down to Old Miss, I was happy to see that both the Texas and Penn State go about the business of winning. Both teams were properly rewarded with a rise in the rankings. Speaking of being rewarded in the rankings, Alabama was well rewarded after collecting a victory in Athens this weekend against the Georgia Bulldogs. Moving up to number 2 in the nation in the AP poll, the Crimson Tide are at their highest rank in the polls since 1993. It looks like all ...

Password: Big Tex Tell us the password today and get one free topping for your frozen yogurt. I forgot to post yesterday that the Galaxy Granola Not Sweet Vanilla variety arrived. Last night, we got to see the first round of the 2008 debates. Unfortunately, there are two more of the Presidential debates and on Vice-Presidential debate. It seems like these are too often a rally cry to the bases rather than an exploration of our options. There was little substance beyond what can already be found on the plans put forth on both of the candidates websites. With such a long election cycle, it seems like we've already heard all of the rhetoric and catch phrases too many times before. Despite its many faults, I did watch the debate. Like most of the talking heads, I agree that neither of the tow opponents won, but neither did they make any major mistakes. What I would li...

Bonus Bagel Special: Get any three bagels out of the freezer (all three must come from the freezer) for only $9.99. Today is the big day. The State Fair of Texas opens its gates to the public today with Big Tex welcoming one and all. The fair runs from September 26th to October 19th. As always, there is a host of events going on during the Fair's run from concerts to auto shows. Of course, there is also just about every fried creation under the sun available at the fair. I don't think that anyone goes there and expects it to have a positive impact on their diet. As the baker here at work says, "The food at the fair makes Jack in the Box look like a health food store." Nevertheless, they do have some tasty creations on the midway. The biggest part of the Fair's run for me is the Texas-OU gam...

Bonus Bagel Special: Get any three bagels out of the freezer (all three must come from the freezer) for only $9.99. I got a documentary from Netflix last night that I had been looking forward to seeing for a while. With a short running time of 92 minutes, Who Killed the Electric Car is a short film that does a wonderful job explaining the electric cars that were developed in the mid-90's and the fate that awaited them at the turn of the century. While its bias is certainly tilted towards the electric vehicle and the owners who were so dedicated to them, the film does a good job of putting forth its case that th...

All yogurt cones are only $2.08 today (regularly $2.77) when you ask for the special. Bonus Blogger Special: Get any three bagels out of the freezer for only $9.99. Limited to quantity on hand. I always dislike pledge drives on my favorite radio stations. My wife and I both contribute to Power FM , and I use my personal donation allowance to support KERA . Unlike TV pledge drives on PBS which bring special programs to the station, radio pledge drives just tend to interrupt the shows. With KERA, I used to feel bad since I ignored the request and didn't donate. So, there was a little bit of guilt there. Now, I feel a little annoyed that other people aren't giving quickly enough to end the drive. It's a childish thought, but I really just want to be able to hear my morning show on the drive into work. Nevertheless, I must commend KERA on how they have reform...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Maple Nut, Caramel, Marshmallow, and Orange Vanilla. UT Dallas Special! Show your UT Dallas ID and get a free small yogurt. On the way to dinner last night, I noticed something rather odd as my wife and I were driving along Preston. The front right tire had gone flat. It has been quite some time since I've had to change a tire, but it is thankfully a skill that, like riding a bicycle, does not seem to go away. I fiddled for a bit as it came back to me. While no one is really looking for this to happen on the way out to dinner, it was a good opportunity to have the refresher course for myself and to show Erica, should she ever be outside of the range of AAA, how to go about changing a tire. I'm sure that she already knew this, but she was kind enough to be patient as I explained it anyways. With the spare tire on the car, we proceeded to dinner at Fadi's Mediterranian Restaurant. The food, as always, was excellent. Du...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Maple Nut, Grasshopper (Mint Flavor), Raspberry Cheesecake, and Peach. Shake Day! All shakes are $3.69 today (regularly $3.93-$4.62). Gnu Flavor and Fiber bars have arrived back in stock. We have all varieties available again (Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Cinnamon Raisin, Orange Cranberry, and Banana Walnut.) We stayed pretty busy this weekend between ITLPD and our church activities. Saturday night, we went to a dinner for diapers party that our Sunday school class had. One of the couples in our class recently had a baby. While we've already had the showers, the biggest need seems to be diapers. The dinner was wonderful and it was nice to have time with our classmates to spend talking and watching a bit of the LSU v Alburn game. After church on Sunday, we went out with several people from our class to Cristina's Mexican restaurant. Our pastor joined us for lunch. It's funny to watch him walk into a restaurant because he...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Coffee Royal, Grasshopper (Mint Flavor), Raspberry Cheesecake, and Peach. Yogurt Special: Buy one yogurt, get one free from 6 PM to 8 PM. (Limit one, excludes XL). Thanks to my friends and our lovely host Sharon, International Talk Like a Pirate Day was a wonderful success again this year. There was a little less pirating, but we did partake in several films. One that was not piratical in any way shape or form was Mutiny . Not only was the film bad, it wasn't even bad in the good way. I have much higher hopes for next year's film viewing. We seem to be getting a little older as a group of pirates. We were all ready to turn in before 1:00 AM. Pirates aren't supposed to have bedtimes. Alas, we all have real non-pirate jobs during the week and sometimes those can wear on you. Nevertheless, we did our best to celebrate the fictitious fun life of the pirate. If, however, you feel like celebrating the real life of the Germ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Coffee Royal, Grasshopper (Mint Flavor), Raspberry Cheesecake, and Peach. Avast, me hearties! It be International Talk Like a Pirate Day ! Today's Booty: We got in our shipment of Chocolite with the new one point Chocoalte Almond Coconut chocolate. We got in the second PB2 shipment of the week. This one has the newest product from them in the form of the Chocolate Peanut Butter. This product is also 1 Point on Weight Watchers®. We also got in a new assorted hard candy mix. Green Tip: A steak might be an American institution, but it comes with a side of environmental costs. Central and South American forests are being cut or burned down to provide pasture. Effluent from feedlots pollutes land and waters, and each cow produces 300 liters of methane-a greenhouse gas-every day. Consider reducing the amount of meat you eat; while cows aren't problematic in and of themselves, modern mass-farming methods take a toll. [Brought t...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Coffee Royal, Grasshopper (Mint Flavor), Raspberry Cheesecake, and Peach. Brownie Special: 2 for 5 dollars on any items that are regularly priced $3.49 each. (Limit 4). On our walk last night, Erica said to me that this year sure does seem to be going fast. I told her that as you get older, time seems to go much faster. I have a theory that this time crunch goes on for about a 40 to 50 year period until you reach retirement. It would seem to me that time would then slow down again. I guess that all time is relative to where you are in life. I remember in my childhood time was seemingly at a stand still. I couldn't wait to move on to the next grade. By the time college came around, things were moving quicker. Now that the days seem to mirror each other, the time has moved to a fast pace indeed. I can only imagine that adding children into the mix would increase that even more. The change of the seasons and the upcoming holida...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Coffee Royal, Grasshopper (Mint Flavor), Raspberry Cheesecake, and Peach. Cone Day! All cones are only $2.08 today (regularly $2.77) when you ask for the special today. We now have our PB2 back in stock! We've gotten a full load in today so we have plenty for the weekend. GM announced its newest car yesterday at its 100 anniversary celebration. The Chevrolet Volt is going to probably end up being on of the most talked about cars over the next two years. Scheduled for a 2010 production date, it will have time to become a household name. Already, there has been much anticipation about the project. At first look, I think that the car has a nice overall design. Although, the design does appear to follow the recent models from the Japanese automobile industry. It is supposed to be the most areodynamic car that GM has ever designed. It will be interesting to see what people think of the looks since it does not even resemble the c...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Coffee Royal, Grasshopper (Mint Flavor), Roasted Almond, and Peach. Blogger Special: Tell us the score of last night's Cowboys game and get up to two free toppings on any size yogurt. (Limit one offer per customer.) In our continuing effort to trim down our possessions and organize our home, Erica did some cleaning around the apartment this last weekend. She did a fantastic job. Admit ably, she is a much better organizer than I am when it comes to paperwork, books, and boxes. I tend to go through things and then, after sorting out what is not needed, put things into general boxes. Since I almost always remember where I put them, this is not usually a problem. My wife, on the other hand, is a one who like to label. This is by far a superior method. I would say that we are now only one trip to Goodwill away from cleaning out must of the unneeded or underused items in the house. The only other things that we need to do is sell ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Coffee Royal, Grasshopper, Roasted Almond, and Peach. Get your Sierra deLite bars for only $3.25 today (regularly $4.50) when you ask for today's special. This yummy treat has chocolate and nuts all rolled into a portable 2"x4" serving. Great for anyone who is on the go. If you have ever wondered what my perfect fall weather day is, then today would be a good answer. A day that does not get too warm and has a nice cooler evening is a true gift. While it is true that I also love the colder weather during the winter, I can very much appreciate the days like today when they come during the fall or the spring. It is even a better gift when we get one during the tail end of the summer, especially when we get a whole week of them to close out the summer. One thing that I find interesting about any ranking system that relies on votes is that winning is not everything. The University of Georgia has proved that in the AP po...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Banana, Roasted Almond, and Very Berry. Creme Pies! Get your creme pies this weekend for only $14.99 (regularly $19.99). It looks like the wind and rain that pounded our neighbors to the south is making its way up north today compliments of our friend Ike. While today and part of tomorrow should see some heavy rains and winds, the start of the week looks like it is going to bring us some traditional fall weather. We're even in for some evening where we make it into the upper 50's! :) While we enjoy the benefit of Ike's aftermath with good weather, the residents in Southeast Texas will be cleaning up for weeks to come. Thankfully, it was not as bad as it could have been. Nevertheless, the devastation was significant . Currently, there is a large search and rescue operation that is underway. Of course, the clean up will take weeks.

Green Tip: Around 17% of the cars on the road have gas caps that need attention, and the evaporation from the tanks for those autos accounts for 147 million gallons of wasted gas a year. If the gas cap on your car is damaged, loose, or missing, take time to visit the auto parts store and fix it. Evaporation wastes gas and adds to air pollution.

Starting out as the front man for Ben Folds Five, he has since gone solo with his mix of piano driven songs that always get...

(Creme Pies: Chocolate, Vanilla, Coconut, Cappuccino, Lemon, and Strawberry.) I had a conversation with the UPS man today about 9/11. I mentioned that it seemed like more that 7 years to me. He said that it seemed like much less to him. It's interesting to me, the difference in perceptions. When 9/11 happened, I had just graduated college the previous year and was trying to figure out...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, German Chocolate Cake, Banana, Roasted Almond, and Very Berry. Cone Day! Yogurt cones are only $2.08 when you ask for the special (regularly $2.77). Things that you don't expect to wake up to at 6:50 in the morning: "Buddy [the cat] caught a mouse...And, he's eating it." After going to bed later than normal, it was not exactly how I wanted to awake. But, it was not lacking an element of humor. It seems that the cat, which I often, freely and accurately, refer to as dopey and lazy, has a little real cat in him after all. We started to notice him acting weirder than normal about a week and a half ago in the kitchen. He was guarding the door periodically and darting his eyes back and forth to the area underneath the stove and dishwasher. To be completely honest, we both thought it was just the cat being weird. Have I mentioned that he's not the brightest? At no point and time did we actually hear any noise com...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, German Chocolate Cake, Banana, Roasted Almond, and Candy Cane. Yogurt Club Special: Members get a small yogurt for only $1.27 or $1.50 off of any other size today when they pay with their Yogurt Club Card and ask for the special. If you're not a Yogurt Club Member, ask us how to start saving today. The blog is up a little late today. I had something that I had to take care of today that put me behind schedule. We'll call it a rain delay. Speaking of the rain, I'm glad that we're finally seeing a good spurt of it over the last few weeks. The weather has been very nice as of late. Nevertheless, I'm ready for some cooler evenings. One bad thing about the cooler days and mild evenings is that the AC does not kick on much during the evening. So, while it is not warm, it is a bit stagnate. Heck, I'm just ready for the cold weather.

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, German Chocolate Cake, Banana, Very Berry, and Candy Cane. Shake Day! All yogurt shakes are $3.69 today when you ask for the special (regularly $3.93-$4.62). What a weekend in sports. There was a collective moan from much of the fantasy football world yesterday as Tom Brady went down with what could be a season ending injury. There was a great cheer in Dallas as the Cowboys dominated the Cleveland Browns in their season opener. The world of college football saw more upsets and has had some familiar faces return to top 25 status with the top 10 slots moving around quite a bit. There was, of course, also baseball. Coming up on the closing three weeks, there are 5 of the six divisions still up for grabs. Four of the five are still highly competitive. Moreover, the Wild Card race could provide some excitement as well, but these look to be less of a race than the divisions themselves. Short of a miracle, the Yankees and the Cardinals...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Butter Pecan, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Candy Cane. Yogurt Special: Buy 1, get 1 free from 6 PM to 8 PM (limit one per customer, excludes XL). Tomorrow's Special: Coke floats are $2.99 all day long (regularly $4.62). I've got an interesting day tomorrow. After church, I'm going to a guys shower for one of the men in our Sunday School class. He and his wife had a baby girl last month. The theme of the shower is guys gifts for a baby girl. An interesting premise should make for some interesting gifts. I think that my gift, despite the fact that I am pretty sure the family is a football family, will be something to do with baseball. Perhaps a nice glove, ball, and hat combination for a small child. This will end up being a long afternoon since I know it will break down into a game day with the NFL season starting in full tomorrow. I rarely watch professional football, but I guess I'll stick around for at ...

(Limit 4) Bagels and Pita will not be in until tomorrow because of the Labor Day weekend. Last night, the world got its formal introduction to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin . A speech that had its moments of humor and traditional red meat, also defined her upcoming role in the election. It seems as if she will play the standard role of the VP candidate, the attack dog. It will be interesting to see how this plays with the general electorate, but I know it played well to the base of the party. One of the funnest moments of the speech had to be when the camera focused in on Palin's youngest daughter Piper who was holding the youngest son Trig. Piper must have thought that Trig's hair was not quite right because she started to fix it by running her hand over his head. This, however, did not work to he...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Chocolate Malt, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Banana Cheesecake. Cone Day! All yogurt cones are only $2.08 today (regularly $2.77) when you ask for the cone day special price. We now have all five varieties of the Kitchen Table Baker's Crackers on hand. (Everything, Rosemary, Jalapeno, Sesame, and Aged Parmesan) I'm not really an animal person. I did, however, happen to marry into a cat household which, I'll admit, does make for some interesting moments. Last night, as the wind blew through Dallas, was one of those moments. I know that animals are more sensitive than we are. Wilson, the cat, had already been freaking out because of the high winds, but when we opened up the windows both upstairs and downstairs, we got to enjoy the show of him sitting in the middle of the living room alternatively sniffing in the direction of each window and then looking at us as if we had some control over the situation. Later ...

Also, you might have noticed that the Thanksgiving form was posted yesterday. We are now taking orders for Thanksgiving 2008. And, there is a coupon for prepaid pre-orders for the month of September. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Labor Day. I certainly did enjoy my time off from work. Erica and I got to go out to Tokyo One for a little sushi with our friends. After eating a bit of sushi, we did some lite shopping and then headed home to ride out the rest of the day relaxing on the couch. Since we had finished the Doctor Who series we were watching, we put in Cowboy Be...
