The Most Boring Video Of The Week

Posted on | March 8, 2010 | No Comments

SNUGGIE WORLD RECORD _ Fans attending Friday’s Cavaliers game against Detroit set a Guinness Book of World Record for the “largest gathering of people wearing fleece blankets” while wearing custom-designed Cavs Snuggies before the game. All fans in attendance had a Snuggie placed on their seats prior to the game. During a timeout in the first quarter, fans were asked to wear the wine-colored blankets with arms for five minutes as a clock on the scoreboard counted down. Most everyone complied — except for one fan wearing a Celtics jersey and another who thought ahead and brought a Pistons Snuggie. The rest of the sellout crowd of 20,562 turned the arena into a sea of red blankets. A Guinness World Records official was on hand to witness the momentous occasion. Oh, and the video is so exciting.

Brad Paisley Takes A Spill

Posted on | March 7, 2010 | No Comments

Brad’s American Saturday Night Tour made its final stop on the tour at the Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, SC last night and on the final note of the encore finale (“Alcohol”), Brad fell on stage – he bounced back up, finished the show and thanked the audience and told them good-bye. Once he left the stage he was transported to the local hospital via ambulance to be checked out – all is well, only badly bruised. Brad was discharged from the hospital and is on his way home to Nashville.

Halfway to Goal!

Here we go! Week number 10 for The Gettin Thin In 2010 Plan! I’ve switched things up a bit this week by adding more fruit and water to my 1500 calorie a day diet. Still trying to get more exercise in and I’ve noticed I seem to have more energy. I usually take a nap in the afternoon, but lately I haven’t been sluggish and tired. Which means I’m awake longer and burning more calories I hope! This mornings live weigh in brings me to a total loss of 35 pounds! I’m Halfway There! I lost 3lbs this week! Only 35 more pounds to go to reach my goal! Keep focused and if you slip up, don’t beat yourself up, just get right back on the track! Join us next Friday for a LIVE weigh in at 7:20 on Today’s Country 93.5

“You Gonna Eat That?”

Posted on | March 2, 2010 | No Comments

March is

National Frozen Food Month

Here is some interesting information about the benefits of frozen food.

The subject of “fresh” vs. “frozen” has caused a few arguments but the facts remain solid, freezing is the best known means of food preservation. Some of the advantages of frozen food include: Less waste, convenience and cost. Freezing preserves the nutritional value, freshness, flavor and color of foods. Unless you are pulling it from your garden or purchasing it at a local farmers market, it’s hard to find better nutritional value. You might say that frozen is fresher than “fresh.” Research shows that frozen products often contain more nutrients than fresh foods. That’s because produce destined for your grocery store is harvested at the height of ripeness and nutrient value. It is rushed to nearby freezing plants for immediate processing which preserves the nutrient content. Fresh fruits and vegetables are often gathered in an immature or “unripened” state and allowed to ripen “off the vine” this can rob the produce of it’s nutrient value. Further, because “fresh” products are frequently transported long distances and stored in warehouses before they are placed on your grocery or supermarket shelves, they have often lost nutrients and vitamins. Nutrient depletion even continues while produce is stored in your refrigerator. Unless vegetables and fruits are truly “garden fresh,” frozen is a better buy nutritionally.

Scientists at the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation analyzed 51 different frozen foods regularly found in grocery stores and supermarkets. Their research proved that foods retain their nutritional value during freezing. Substantial and highly beneficial amounts of no less than 21 essential vitamins, minerals and other nutrients were found in these products. Freezing, per se, does not injure vitamins. Air exposure is much more destructive, particularly to volatile nutrients such as vitamin C and thiamine.

If you’re like me sometimes you put stuff in your freezer and forget to cook it. Is it still safe to eat?

How long will frozen food keep?

Frozen dinners — three to four months
Ground beef and turkey — three months
Bacon, unopened — one month
Roasts — six to twelve months
Whole fish — five to six months
Fish fillets — four to five months
Shellfish — four to six months
Whole chicken or turkey — twelve months
Chicken or turkey pieces — nine months
Cooked poultry — four months

KKBN Pet Of The Week

Cody and " Baby Bridgette"

Congratulations to this week’s KKBN Pet Of The Week Winner Kimberli Fish! Here’s a pic of their beloved “Baby Bridgette”. Yup…Baby Bridgette. Here’s the email:

We just brought in this little one from our ranch on Saturday. This is “Bridgette” and my son Cody. Bridgette is a as of today, Monday, 5 days old and a black Angus heifer. Her mom had mastitis and couldn’t nurse her, so my son and I have taken her in to our backyard to bottle feed her 3 times a day. So far she is doing well, and we are giving her electrolytes and scour tablets to help her along this week. Today she ran around the backyard with Cody and laid out and soaked up some Vitamin E in the sun. If we get her along to the end of the week she is good to go for a new replacement heifer at our ranch when it’s time to breed her.

Cody wanted to call her “Big Joe” I told him it’s a girl so he said “Bridgette!”
