Say it isn’t so! McDonald’s is dropping the Angus burgers from their menu. The ‘premium’ burgers will be phased out because beef prices are at a ten-year high. They may come back in the future, but for now, say bye bye Angus burgers. Now where am I going to get my mushroom and swiss burger? [...]

One thing I miss about the old VHS recorder in the Greg "Splashin'" McShea household is playing all of the holiday TV shows I taped over the years.

Will you pay attention to the calories, will it effect your food of choice?
