 No Need To Wash Your Hands Just Your Fruit Fruits and vegetables, whether from the garden or from the store, may have bacteria and other illness-causing pathogens on their surface. Many stores sell expensive sprays meant to disinfect the produce safely, but you can use plain white vinegar instead. The acids in vinegar kills up to 98 percent of bacteria, according to a test performed by Cook’s Illustrated. Washing the produce properly also prevents the vinegar from leaving behind a sour taste. InstructionsThings You’ll Need
1- Fill a spray bottle with three parts water and one part white distilled vinegar. Combine thoroughly. 2- Rinse any visible soil off the fruit or vegetable before disinfecting. Use vegetable scrub brush if necessary. Pat dry. 3- Spray the produce down with the vinegar solution, completely coating it. Allow the vinegar solution to sit on the produce’s skin for one to two minutes. 4- Rinse the fruit or vegetable under cool, running water to remove any vinegar flavor. Serve immediately.
As Elizabeth would say “that’s how I roll”

 Guitar Player
Friends walk up to me on the street every day (both of them) and ask, “do you still have that old guitar at the hotel?” And I always answer the same, “yep.” For those of you that want to visit the Eden House and do a little pickin’ while you are here – we have the answer. We keep an old acoustic behind the door in the gift shop…so help yourself. If you have trouble locating it just ask at the desk. Guitar Dan cleans and re-strings it when he is down and even plays a few tunes by the pool. I always request John Prine.
Yes, they’re going to put me in the movies and all I gotta do is act naturally
See ya at happy hour, Mike June 14, 2011
 Cell Phone Radiation Tips to reduce cell phone radiation - Give your phone some space. It shouldn’t have been a big shock last week when the World Health Organization categorized cell phones as possible “carcinogenic hazard”. User manuals typically advise against direct contact. Holding a cell phone 2 inches from your ear reduces the radiation “by a factor of four”. - Get Wired. using a wired earpiece can cut radiation even more. If you’re worried about low-level radiation emitted by the wire itself, minimize it by spending a few bucks on a ferrite choke. Avoid Bluetooth wireless earpieces, which emit radiation right at the ear. - Pick your spots. Few people can forswear cell chats all together. But do note that a phone emits more radiation when in motion or receiving a weak signal. Safest, in fact, are calls that you receive outside near a cell tower while standing perfectly still. P.S. if you know what the hell a ferrite choke is please tell us. Talk safe my friend…….. Mike  Belkin Phone Charger
Save energy and reduce utility costs with the Belkin F7C009 Conserve Socket Energy Saving Outlet. Because a device left plugged in but not in use can still draw power and affect your home’s overall energy usage, the Conserve Socket lets you decide when to turn off power to your devices. It automatically shuts off power after the time interval you select, helping you to use energy more wisely. So this is what the ad says I say it’s a no-brianer. I bought one and since have gotten them for all my family members as well. Most smart phones, tablets and laptops will charge with in three hours, so why charge all night long. Remember if you buy one through Amazon click on the link through Fugees first and Amazon will donate 6 percent of the purchase back to Fugees. Even better save electricity and donate some dough…….

We are so glad that the cigarette he was holding was not lit when he was born. This Grandpa stuff is pretty cool. Yep, you can only imagine what these newsletters are going to be like from now on – The Bradster updates and now Kellen James. Hold on to your hats, more to come. See ya, Mike April 1, 2011
 US economy Ain’t it great to be an American. At least this is what Randy Newman said and after reading this article I am not sure how I feel. March 31, 2011
 Yo...Going my way? This guy wandered in over a week ago and we are not really sure who he is. He seems to have lost his memory and all he says is – Awesome man. If anyone recognizes Awesome Man please contact us or the authorities. As he left the hotel today I heard him say, “back on the freeway which is already in progress.” March 11, 2011
 Dead Mime I’d like to pass along something I recently learned from a now deceased mime. If you are a secret agent, or have multiple mistresses or misterstresses this will be of great importance to you. When emailing multiple people always use “BCC” (Blind Carbon Copy). What this means is if you send an email to many people it appears you are sending it to one person and makes each individual feel special and dosn’t put there poop (or email address) out in the street. Little Donny Howard this blog is for you!!

 Dan & Betsy I think Otis Redding’s plane went down in the Milwaukee Bay in 1967. If anybody out there knows for sure, please let me know. I don’t know where this is taking me, but i did want to bring up that we have a guitar for public consumption and as Gina says it’s behind the door in the gift shop. Guitar Dan (pictured above with blushing bride Betsy) helped us pick out a very fine inexpensive acoustic guitar, of which he cleans and re-strings every year and can be found behind THAT DOOR. Stay Tuned……… Mike |
