Why Nutrition Matters: # 1 The term 'bolus' is given to food once it has been turned into mush from chewing and salivary enzymes. Why am I telling you this? I'm sitting here eating a bowl of mixed veggies thinking about how chewing your food improves overall human nutrition. We sometimes forget why we are eating and just eat to eat, sometimes we are so busy we just scarf our meals down without thinking about them. This affects overall health status. I was in the military for 5 years and developed a bad habit of scarfing my food down in record times but, I'm not in the military anymore and I have time to eat. It we slow down and enjoy our food., life gets better. So next time you eat, think about turning your food into a bolus. Bolus FTW Freddy J .

Started leveling up my Hard Light auto rifle. It is awesome since the new patch, thanks Bungie!

Tonight I ran the VoG on Hard with a good group and earned the elusive raid helmet for my titan. Greatest night ever? Possibly.

[b]Gaming Snack Idea #2: Black Bean Brownies[/b] Okay, so you enjoyed your Peanut butter with apples & bananas but today is a new day. You had planned on making a boxed brownie mix tonight so I want to offer a way to make those brownies a little healthier without affecting the flavor much. I have enjoyed these before and they are surprisingly good. [u]Supplies:[/u] 1 package brownie mix 1 cup water 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained (Optional) 1 cup chocolate chips or 1 cup pecans Step 1. Preheat your oven to a toasty 350 F (175 C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish (blindfolded). Step 2. Blend the black beans and water together using a blender until nice and smooth. Pour the beans into a large mixing bowl and mix the brownie mix until smooth; fold in chocolate chips or nuts. Pour mixture into a 9x13-inch dish. Step 3. Throw this baking dish into the oven and set the timer for 25 minutes. Step 4. While waiting for the brownies to bake go and run the weekly heroic because the cabal aren't going to punch themselves in the face! Titans FTW, Freddy J
