Apparently you can do a study on anything these days AND get it published. Case in point:
In a new study, researchers propose that our mall-visiting behaviors harkens back to the days when men hunted and women foraged.
Modern men, for example, generally want to get into a store and get right back out — just like their hunting forefathers wanted to find and bring meat home as quickly as possible. On the other hand, women get back to their foraging roots by sorting through racks of sweaters on sale — as if scanning plants for signs of ripeness.
Huh? What?! Besides the fact that it barely makes sense, it seems like something a third grader would say when she or he comes home from school after learning about our ancestors. A theory? Fine, let’s call it a theory. A study? How do you study something like this? Answer: you really can’tt. You can’t study per se how our ancestors lived. You can generalize that “most” women forage for deals at the mall. To call this a study and to publish it is an insult to people who actually do studies!
Okay. Rant over. On to food from yesterday.
This is my new favorite tool for my camera:
Stick the memory card from my camera in it and plug it into the USB and I have instant pics on my lap top! Bonus is that I don’t have to worry about hurting my camera by opening the area for the little cable that I can connect to my camera to get pics to the picture. Convenience for under $15 – I’ll take it!
Dinner was a convenience meal. As much as I love the chili, I did not want to eat it twice in a row.
That is a Persimmon in the corner. I think I have had a persimmon exactly one time before and I had forgotten how good they are. I was still hungry so while watching some Glee on Hulu I had a lovely bowl of pomegranate aerials and another persimmon.
Breakfast this morning was overnight oats with chia seeds, pomegranate aerials, peanut butter, strawberry rhubarb jam and a berry protein powder that I do NOT enjoy – hence that strawberry rhubarb jam.
I am watching Sunday Morning on CBS as I write this. I love this show. It does not have the gimmicks that so many other ‘news’ shows seem to have today. Charles Osgood is an amazing anchor. There is nothing better than watching Sunday Morning while eating breakfast on a sunday morning. Perfect!
I have a lot of laundry to do today, some cleaning to do and I want to get a workout in.
Make it a great day!
