Is anyone else ever impressed by the amount and/or ridiculousness of spam they get in the comments section on their blog? I have to admit, it’s amazing the way you get messages comprised of snippets of text from your own post regurgitated back to you. Sometimes it’s even in complete sentences! Sometimes, though, it’s pretty random or even in, like, robot-Dutch. Other times it’s just weird.
Today a piece of spam told me I was boring. Nice.
So while I could adopt an “I’m rubber, you’re a robot” stance, I could also post some interesting things from around the web this week for you to check out. Have fun!
- Study: Eggs are nearly as bad for your arteries as cigarettes. This has sparked a lot of debate. In my opinion, a few egg yolks a week can be okay (the amount depends on your cardiac health and family history), but whites are a good option if you’re going to eat more than that.
- A meat lover says ‘yes’ to Meatless Mondays
- Julia Child’s 100th Birthday Celebration at Epicurious
- Grill your greens
Also, I wanted to share a quick pic of yesterday’s lunch, which was delicious. Something tells me that egg-white veggie scrambles will be making a regular appearance in my kitchen-it’s the roasted eggplant and roasted broccoli, plus the addition of garlic and red pepper flakes that make it fantastic. I’m also loving toast with ricotta and heirloom tomato. 
Any interesting or fun news you want to share? Favorite meal lately? Do you ever get crazy spam?
Yum! That lunch looks delicious (and is inspiring me). I should probably fix myself something. And yes – it’s funny you’re posting this because I just got a piece of spam a couple minutes ago on a blog I wrote years ago. The spam was a joke about two crabs getting married and the wife crab notices that the husband crab now walks sideways: “‘What happened?’ she asked. ‘You used to walk straight before we were married.’ ‘Oh, honey,’ he replied, ‘I can’t drink that much every day.'” Um… Just be glad the spam is spam. I got a response email once to my column that made me cry! My skin is thicker now, but still – those kind of comments are at best hilarious and at worst, upsetting.
That’s so crazy about the crab joke! And yeah, hurtful comments suck. I’ve totally been there before. It makes me mad that somebody would say something mean enough to make you cry—you’re awesome and brilliant and talented. They were probably just jealous! xoxo
That looks delicious. I also love looking at the crazy spam comments. Most of mine do put all sorts of random words from my post into the comment. Anyway I have been reading your blog and really love it!
Thanks for stopping by : )
