PSA: Americans consuming less fish

Little item from yesterday’s Wall Street Journal.

The average American is consuming only 14.4 pounds of fish per year, down from the record high of 16.6 pounds in 2004, Ben DiPietro writes. Experts report the fading numbers are due to high prices, lack of major marketing efforts by the seafood industry and consumers’ unfamiliarity with preparing fish. “This millennial generation really loves food, loves to experiment and wants more exciting foods. Seafood has to make it hip again to eat fish,” said Warren Solochek, vice president of client development at market research firm NPD.

I hope this means more sales and coupons in the future on things other than fish sticks – not that i don’t like them, too…

Home Run Inn Dock Sale Returns!

UntitledThrift pizzas are cosmetically defective (pepperoni or sausage in wrong spots, etc.), but otherwise exactly the same as retail, bulk pizzas are the pretty boys you find in grocery freezers.  I have to admit these are very tasty pizzas.

These Dock Sales are only held a couple of times a year, so if HRI is your fave, stock up now.  Location is easily accessible (link to Google Maps).

Mum(my) & me coupon/stockpile swap meet reminder!

Here’s a reminder about the meet on the 19th, but also a new message: I’ll be manning a table at the Lisle Library Maker Fare tomorrow, April 12th, from 10 to 2. While I am sneaky, I’m not crafty, so my purpose is to show people how they don’t have to cut the food budget to pay for their supplies at Michael’s! Planning on setting out a few freebie and money maker deals (Tide, Bounce Vidal Sassoon shampoos/conditioners, children’s Triaminic, Iams cat food) or even the really cheap Kashi cereal from Dollar Tree. Imagine bringing in the Whole Foods stuff! That’ll shut up those “You can only buy junk food with coupons” know-nothings!

Anyway, if you’re in the vicinity, stop in and say hi…at least I’ll have my laptop to keep me from being bored and since I almost live at the library anyway…

UntitledJoin the first Mashup Mom and deranged.me Coupon/Stockpile Swap Meet at the Lisle Public Library on Saturday, April 19th from 1-3.  Want or have baby coupons or just running low on peanut butter and hoping to swap for your extra jelly?  Stop on by and see what you can find.  If you are looking for/hoping to swap a lot of something, feel free to comment.

  • Bring one/take one – this isn’t a stockpile shopping trip!
  • Everyone should be able to leave with something new, but this is not speed-dating (who has households with stockpile husbands around here anyway?)
  • If you have lots of items, leave most in your car and just bring in a few samples or pictures – we know what you’re talking about and you can bring in the rest as needed
  • This is a caveat emptor meet:  Buyer Beware, meaning you check for expiration dates, etc. – kinda like shopping Dominicks used to be…
  • No selling is allowed at this event per Library rules. No money can change hands; bring items and coupons with the understanding that you’re giving them away to others.
  • There might be no selling allowed in the Library building, but we have no control over the parking lot; just don’t set up signs and lawn chairs.
  • Remaining stockpile items will be donated to the Lisle Township Food Pantry, which serves residents of Lisle and unincorporated parts of Lisle, Naperville and Woodridge.  I’ve donated here for years and can vouch that they’re a very dedicated group of mostly volunteers who serve a large number of households.

All the news that fits: babies happy to see their dads

UntitledMore schmaltzy video that’ll make you smile (and maybe tear up a bit):  A whole lot of babies happy to see their daddy come homejust wait ’til they’re teens…

if you’re at work, you don’t need to have the sound on, the pictures are enough

All the news that fits: folded paper microscopes under a buck!

unnamed

The Foldscope is a fully functional microscope that can be laser- or die-cut out of paper for around 50 cents. (Link to YouTube)

This bookmark-sized microscope can be assembled in minutes, includes no mechanical moving parts, packs in a flat configuration, is extremely rugged and can be incinerated after to safely dispose of infectious biological samples. With minor optics modifications, the microscope can be designed for brightfield, multi-flourescence or projection microscopy, or specialized to identify specific pathogens.  The video shows them dropped in water and stomped on with no apparent damage.

Manu Prakash, a professor at Stanford University and his students have developed a microscope out of a flat sheet of paper, a watch battery, LED, and optical units that when folded together, much like origami, creates a functional instrument with the resolution of 800 nanometers – basically magnifying an object up to 2,000 times.

While the professor talks about use in basically third-world countries, I can see these also being distributed to school children across the US – just imagine how much more interesting science and biology would be if every student were able to own one to play around with…Sell ’em for a buck and use the profits to ship the freebies out across the world.
