The Chronic Consumer

My husband and I have a total of three working computers here at home, but for some reason we haven’t set up a network yet. So when we want to share files or print something, we usually have to transfer the stuff onto one of our memory sticks first, which is a bit inconvenient.

So now we’re going to take the plunge and set up a network. We’re currently looking at Ethernet LAN or wireless LAN, and are trying to determine the pros and cons of each choice — no small task for people as clueless about computers as we are!

Anyway, I think Ethernet LAN is probably going to win out, so we’re going to have to buy Cat5E cables and jacks sometime soon. I’ve already been checking around and love the prices and selection at Firefold.com, so I’m going to order from that site if (when) we go ahead with this.

I am an admitted junk food junkie, and just have to have my snacks throughout the day. I love anything crunchy and anything cheesy, so when my local grocery store started carrying Snyder’s Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Sandwiches, I was in heaven!

Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Sandwiches are pretty much exactly what they sound like. They’re made of two circular pretzel wafers with a layer of cheddar cheese spread between them. They’re bite-sized, which makes them perfect for snacking, and they taste fantastic.

The only drawback to this product is that it’s incredibly high in calories. The nutrition information states that there are 150 calories per 1oz serving, which might not sound all that bad, until you realize that each bag is 2.125oz, so if you eat the whole thing, you’re essentially taking in more than 300 calories. Yikes! And 2.125oz is a small bag — of course you’re going to eat the whole thing!!

Nevertheless, Snyder’s Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Sandwiches remains one of my favorite snacks. I just have to limit my intake more than with other snacks.
