Has the Stimulus been Properly Stimulating?
Putting aside the growing unemployment numbers—something that the federal stimulus package was supposed to curtail with new job growth—there are new concerns that stimulus dollars have not been spent the way they were intended by the Obama Administration and Congress. The GAO says that states haven’t been using the funds as intended and the political mud is starting to fly. Have we been properly stimulated?

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.
