Proctor and Gamble is voluntarily recalling 2 Pringles brand potato crisps due to Salmonella threat after a recommendation by the Food and Drug Administration.

The 2 products involved are Pringles Restaurant Cravers Cheeseburger potato crisps and Pringles Family Faves Taco Night potato crisps.

According to their press release, P & G was notified by one of its suppliers that a seasoning used in these two products contains hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) manufactured by Basic Food Flavors, Inc., who has voluntarily recalled several lots of this ingredient because of potential salmonella exposure.

Salmonella can cause severe illness with fever, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Cases in young children and the elderly can be life threatening.

Consumers who have purchased either of the 2 Pringles brand potato crisps recalled due to Salmonella should contact Proctor and Gamble for a refund or coupon at 1-877-876-7881.

Chocolate Mix Cake – Just Because

Today I gave a co-worker a chocolate mix cake just because:

He’s young and reminds me of my son
He’s always willing and ready to help
His wife works too and I knew she’d appreciate it
He’s outnumbered by women in the office
Sometimes he looks hungry
                                        I knew he’d be surprised
                                        Giving it to him made me happy

I used 2 mixes and lots of frosting to make the chocolate mix cake just because I wanted it to be extra special!

My First Annual Predictions For the Oscars

The 82nd Annual Oscar Awards show is about to begin and I am ready with my first annual  predictions for the Oscars.

Best Movie: The Blind Side

Best Actress:  Sandra Bullock

Best Actor:  George Clooney

I’ve only seen 3 of the 10 films nominated so I don’t have much info to base my predictions on. Still, watching the Oscars is fun and allows us to escape reality for a few brief hours.

Get your popcorn ready, forget the recession, Toyota’s troubles, the terrorists, the war, unemployment, Sarah Palin and root for me to get at least one of my first annual predictions for the Oscars right!
