the food groups

A friend recently explained to me how the food “pyramid” taught by schools is all wrong.  He enlightened me with what it should be :

5 food groups : sweets, meats, plants, potatoes, jerky.

4 beverage groups : milk, tea, carbonated, water.

He said potatoes constitute their own group b/c you can make so much with them and it’s all good.

Now you know… spread the word.

I tend to take answering machines as an opportunity for performance art.

Eating 26 grilled cheese sandwiches in 10 minutes

A 100-pound woman ate 26 grilled cheese sandwiches in 10 minutes to set the World Record; for this she won $8,000. She also holds numerous other world eating records, including 46 dozen oysters in 10 minutes, 11 pounds of cheesecake in 9 minutes, 48 chicken tacos in 11 minutes, 37 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes and 56 hamburgers in 8 minutes.

That’s amazing! Plus the fact that there actually is a World Grilled Cheese Eating Championship. 🙂

I’d like to be involved in a nachos cook-off and eating contest… 🙂

where to start?

There's so much that you need to know about me, and so much more that I've yet to make up, that it is difficult to find a starting point.

My name is Thomas Wayne and my life has been one incredulous adventure after another… I've had more excitement in this past week than most mere mortals could hope to have in ten lifetimes…

I'm an avid story-teller in that I enjoy sharing with those not fortunate enough to be me.

Throughout the coming weeks and months I hope to share with you some of the highlights that I have experienced…

Enjoy the 'embellished memoirs' of my life…
