Ground Turkey vs. Ground Beef

vs.

Ground turkey used to sound to me  like it was the most disgusting thing on the planet. I didn’t want to even hear the phrase “ground turkey” After all, what is wrong with ground beef? It is delicious and can be used in so many different ways. Well, as it turns out, ground turkey isn’t that bad after all. In fact it is just as good in most dishes as ground beef.

I have made burgers, tacos, lasagna, spaghetti, meat loaf and many other dishes with turkey and I have been just as pleased , if not more so, than with beef. It is less fatty which means less greasy. It also means that you won’t fell as though you have a rock sitting in your gut after you are finished. Some dishes need a little creative assistance to get them up to snuff, but overall, ground turkey is just as good to use as ground beef.

The next time you decide you want spaghetti for dinner, try substituting the beef with turkey and see for yourself. In fact, go one step further and replace the spaghetti with wheat or multi grain thin spaghetti. You will probably find that you like it even more than the old recipe. The ground turkey gives the dish the meatiness that you want. The multi grain pasta gives it a more full bodied flavor. It has a deeper, nutty flavor that is simply delicious.

If you are in the mood for tacos; cook up some ground turkey. Add in your favorite taco seasoning packet or create your own mixture. Put it all on a corn or wheat flour tortilla. Top it all off with some fresh lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Add some salsa and you are in business.

Anything you use ground beef for can easily be substituted with ground turkey. It is healthier for you and the flavors are not hurt by the switch at all. Do yourself a favor and buy a pack the next time you are at the grocery store and try it for yourself. You won’t regret it.

The Boston Terrirer is a Breed Apart

Boston Terriers are a great breed of dog for anyone who is looking for a fun, friendly, active and loyal companion. They are great with kids. Their fun loving attitude mixes great with the energy level of kids. They can run and play all day long and then snuggle up at the end of the day.

Their short coats make them easy to maintain. They rarely have that "dog" smell and don't need baths very often. In fact, it is best to bath them only once a month. More than that and you can wash away the natural oils that protect them. Due to the short coats of the Boston Terrier, they are more susceptible to sun burn, so it is not advised to leave them outdoors for long periods of time.

The Boston also has a short snout which can cause them to overheat because they can't breathe in enough for the amount of activity they want to do. You may see them reverse sneezing, but you just have to hold them and calm them down and it will go away fairly quickly. If you run around the back yard or park with them and give them plenty of water, they will be just fine.

The Boston comes in mainly a black coat with white markings or brindle. Occasionally, you can find them in seal, or brown/red. Even rarer is the reverse colors where the white is the predominant color and they have black markings. The ideal length of the body should be no more than length of the legs. However, if you are looking for a fun and loving dog, then don't concern yourself with what the "perfect" Boston looks like. Just pick the one that you like. Just make sure you go through a reputable breeder and not a puppy mill. You also want to try to get a one year health guarantee. This will allow you to get a refund if there is a serious health defect.

If you treat your Boston with love and friendship, they will return it to you ten fold. The Boston Terrier is a great companion and you will never know a better friend.

Will Smith in "Hancock"

Hancock Trailer

Will Smith is a blockbuster movie sensation. His films consistently perform well to outstanding and everyone loves him. His next movie project is Hancock, directed by Peter Berg.

In this film, Will Smith plays a superhero who is an alcoholic and needs a PR makeover. He saves Jason Bateman from certain death and in return Bateman, a PR rep, feels obligated to polish Hancock's image. The film also stars Charlize Theron as a housewife (maybe more?) who Hancock falls in love with.

I for one have not been a huge fan of Peter Berg films, but they are at least entertaining. Teaming with Will Smith in a superhero spoof of sorts could turn out to be a very good thing indeed. Especially after watching the trailer. Click on the link above and view it for yourself.
