Pizza Hut Back on the List

Well, a while back I posted that Pizza Hut's sauce was non-vegetarian. Today our office is ordering in pizza, and of COURSE, it's PH. SO I thought I would get an update as I always hate to turn down free, meatless food! And the good news is, they reformulated, and the sauce is now OK. They don't say where their cheese enzymes come from, but honestly, I usually cross my fingers and hope for the best on that. But anyway, for anyone interested, here's a good resource. I'm thinking about cutting back on my dairy, just to avoid the methane from those dairy cows. We'll see how that goes.

Anyway, I still doubt we'll be regular patrons, too much good local pizza around, but when we're at an airport or on the run, it's good to know we have options.

Incidentally, I am really surprised at the lack of quality pizza in Redondo Beach. You would think that no Italians ever moved to L.A. The pier pizza is O.K. The funniest yet is when we ordered a fresh mozzarella/basil pizza from a place in Torrance and they put that on TOP of the regular cheese. You have GOT to be kidding me!

Sounds too Good to Be True, Right?

I've been watching Living With Ed on HGTV, which is a reality show about Ed Begley, Jr. He is so totally my hero right now. The show is about 1) product promotion for new, green technology, and 2) Ed's wife, Rachelle Carson's resistance to Ed's penny pinching (which so reminds me of my mom and dad). It's amusing though. Anyway, they had solar garden lights on this week and said they would be on the HGTV web site. You can get them cheaper elsewhere, but while I was there checking it out I see that Ed got his solar panels from this place where you don't own them, you are basically setting up a mini utility on your roof. Seems like a fair concept, though, right? It certainly made his neighbor Bill Nye (Science Guy, holla!) jealous. Anyone see a downside here?

Some random photos

This is Kiefer on line for the Matterhorn.K & G on the Tower of Terror with Joe & Patti.

Just a few recent pictures. We continue to make good use of our Disney passes, and here is the ACTUAL Vespa on the Palos Verdes peninsula. 100 MPG - sweet! The pink helmet is mine.

And

Also Amelie's birthday is next weekend....

Playing Around

Did I mention Greg got a Vespa?

"One Bomb Away"

I read this a couple of days ago, but I keep seeing people say that this administration has kept us safe since 9/11, so they must be OK. That's not really what they've been worried about - they have actually been more worried about taking away more of your freedoms. A quote:

"Dick Cheney Chief of Staff David Addington had an idea for getting around all of that. As Jack Goldsmith, the former head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, tells the New York Times, Addington once observed that the White House was just "one bomb away from getting rid of that obnoxious [FISA] court."

Read it here. But hey, if you don't care about freedom....
