Liquid Egg Product reviews the McDonald’s parfait

In recent years, McDonald’s has managed to pretend it offers a variety of healthy food options. I’m not sure how it is in other countries, but in the States I’m betting most people go to McDonald’s for a Whopper Big Mac with fries, not salads. Which still have a high not-healthy potential because of fatty salad dressing.

Yesterday for lunch, I got their yogurt parfait (to round out the experience, I also got a couple 79 cent hamburgers and fries. These were left partially uneaten.)

Here’s a close-up of the parfait. It’s reminiscent of this movie.

They are also kind enough to add this sad pack of granola.

McDonald’s Parfait…with GRANOLA!

Overall, the taste and appearance are adequate and it’s probably relatively healthy.

High school sweethearts

Most parents have some sort of an idea of the kind of guy they’d want their daughter to marry. Conversely, there are qualities most parents would consider to be a negative in a son-in-law.

One of those is being the same age as the parents:

A 40-year-old high school teacher and cross country coach has resigned and married a 16-year-old student.

A marriage license shows Brenton Wuchae married Windy Hager in Brunswick County, N.C., on Monday. The county board of education approved Wuchae’s resignation Tuesday — a week after he had requested it.

Maybe some sort of compromise–like the idea of waiting until the girl was 18– was completely unreasonable.
