Karen’s Opinion

I just finished reading James Patterson’s novel, 1st to Die. I had trouble putting this book down! My husband suggested I get a book light. LOL He is normally accommodating to me reading in bed but I pushed it a little by reading into the wee hours of the morning. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, the whole plot took a twist. I had to read “just one more chapter”.

This was a great book about a police woman trying to solve a crime while battling an extreme health issue of her own. It had a bit of romance and humor. I can’t wait to read the second book in the series. Luckily, I have it on my nightstand.

Thankfully, we have chosen to purchase organic milk and eggs since watching the movie, Food Inc. Many are having to check their egg cartons to see if they fall into the category of recalled eggs.

You can check to see if your eggs are the ones on the list by going to Food Safety. I garnered the following information from that website.

Dates and codes can be found stamped on the end of the egg carton or printed on the case label. However, not all affected brands will be printed in the same order. Typically, the plant number begins with the letter P and then the number. In most cases the Julian date follows the plant number, for example: P-1720 223. If your carton has a combination of numbers that matches the affected plant number AND Julian date, your eggs are affected in the recall. Using the example above, P-1720 223 may appear on some cartons as 223 #1720, 1720 223 or other variations. It is important to note that both the plant number and Julian date must match. If the Julian date does not match the affected plant number than your eggs are not involved in the recall.

You may want to visit the website to learn more about this recall and what you can do to be safe.

to understand the movie we watched the other night. Hubby and I rented The Other Man starring Liam Neeson, Antonio Banderas, Laura Linney, and Romola Garai. The actors spoke in low tones and we had trouble catching on as to what the plot might be. We turned the volume way up and finally figured out what “might” be happening. I don’t think we are that old!

The movie had an interesting theme, what would you do if you found out that your wife had an affair. If you could find the “other” man, would you want to meet him? What would you have to say to said man? What you think you would do and what you would actually do might surprise you. I recommend this movie, if you are really bored.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am going to have to do something about our cell phone bill and am looking into different venues. I discovered that Boost Mobile has a program called Re-Boost that offers everything that interests me phone wise.

Boost Mobile phones are more social than the one I have now. What do I mean by social? I mean that they have the capabilities of updating Facebook and Twitter in a simple to use feature. I have to admit to being a Facebook addict.

One thing that I didn’t like when I went with the phone plan I have now is that in order to get unlimited texting I had to opt into a plan that had features I don’t use. Boost Mobile allows me to pick and choose the features I need. They have a cool Blackberry that has all the bells and whistles like an mp3 player and a digital camera. The enhanced browser allows connection to the internet where I can check my email and check out what is playing at the theater. The Monthly Unlimited plan includes unlimited talk, text, web and email for only $60! Wowzers!

Saving money is my main objective and I like an easy way to pay my bill. Nothing makes me madder at myself than to get a great phone plan but forget to pay my bill. I hate late fees! Boost Mobile has that covered too. They have easy payment options and offer payment by credit or debit cards. You can pay on-line, in-person, or pay by phone. How much simpler can it get?

There are so many benefits to Boost Mobile that I could go on and on with this post. Why not check it out for yourself? You will be glad you did.

There is a big difference in ice cream, as far as I am concerned. I love Atz and Glover’s brands when I go to an ice cream stand. When I go to the grocery, I prefer Breyers. Schwan ice cream is yummy too.

This is the recipe I use when I make home made ice cream.

Beat 6 eggs until thoroughly mixed
Add:
1 3 oz box vanilla instant pudding
1 can Eagle Brand milk
1 can milnot
dash of salt
1 cup of sugar
2 tsp vanilla

Pour into metal container of ice cream freezer. Add milk to the fill line, about 3/4 full. Mix until mixer will turn no more!
