Suspended Coffee In Colorado Springs - 3/30/2014

Hello again. Thank you for your viewership. My blog post on Suspended Coffee has gotten a good amount of views.  To continue with the theme of Suspended Coffee, I found a coffee shop in Colorado Springs, CO that has a Suspended Coffee program.  The coffee shop is called Gold Hill Java in the Downtown area.  It is located at 332 N. Tejon St. Their website is: http://www.goldhilljavadowntown.com/

I went there today for a cup of coffee and put some money into the Suspended Coffee program.  It's a running gift certificate.  As of 1 pm this afternoon, it's at $11.73  Why don't we double or triple it by the end of this week.  One of the baristas there told me that this has to be more publicized.  So, that's why I'm blogging about it.  If you owe someone, you pay it back. If you don't owe anyone, pay it forward.  There's no excuse for not changing a life today.

Mundo Fries At Mundo Las Vegas - 3/29/2014

Hello once again. This is the second blog post today.  My friends at Mundo: A Latin Chic Restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada sent me a picture of their Mundo Fries.  What are Mundo Fries?  Mundo Fries are sweet potatoes plus Idaho potatoes with fresh ground ancho chile and cotija cheese.  Here is the picture that they sent me.

Doesn't that look good?  Mundo is located at 495 S. Grand Central Parkway Ste A-116 in Las Vegas, NV.  Make sure you stop by when you're in Las Vegas.

If you have ever tried these fries, please leave me a comment and tell me about them.  I'll see you on my next blog post.  Have a great day!

Baked Chocolate Sweet Potato - 3/29/2014

Hello again.  Last night, I made a baked chocolate sweet potato.  I wrapped a sweet potato in foil. I put it in a pan.  I baked it at 360 degrees F for one hour.  I took it out of the oven and unwrapped the foil after about 5 minutes to slightly cool.  I split it in half, fluffed it with a fork, put margarine, black onyx chocolate sugar and some store brand of hazelnut spread on it.  Here's the picture of the finished product.

I hope you will try this.  Let me know how it turns out.

It's About More Than The Coffee - 3/25/2014

Hello there. I came across a Huffington Post article about Suspended Coffee.  Here is the link to the article. Suspended Coffee 

It's about, "Paying It Forward" a cup of coffee. Think of it as a random act of kindness.  Don't we need more random acts of kindness in our world today?

Helping other people & changing people's lives is a must every day of our lives. Who knows when you'll be the one needing help.

I'll see you on my next blog post.  Have a great day!

College Student's Decision: Learning Or Eating - 3/20/2014

Hello there.  I recently read an article that says that there are an increasing number of food pantries on college campuses across the United States.  In this day and age, college students have to decide whether to learn or eat with the money they have for their college education. This should not be.

Students need the proper foods to be at their best to learn and change the world for the better.  If there is a "No Child Left Hungry", there should be a "No Student Left Hungry".  I am grateful for community cafes such at Seeds Community Cafe in Colorado Springs, Colorado.  College students should consider volunteering some of their spare time for a meal.

What happens to somebody affects everybody. There is no way around it.  Just think about it. Everyone is important in ways we may never know.

You can follow me on Twitter @uniquelymike and e-mail me at mikea1@earthlink.net  Please share this post with as many people as possible. I hope that one day, there will be many more community cafes in the U.S. working with colleges and universities.

I'll see you on my next blog post.  Have a great day.

Baked Cinnamon Chocolate Sugar Apples - 3/18/2014

Hello, everyone.  Tonight, I decided to make baked cinnamon chocolate sugar apples tonight.  I had two apples from the food pantry I went to today. I cored and sliced them. I added some lemon juice to them so that the cinnamon and Black Onyx Chocolate Sugar from Savory Spice Shop could stick to them.

I baked the apples for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.  Then, I added a 1/2 cup of water to them and baked them for another 15 minutes.  After they were done, I sprinkled on more of the chocolate sugar.

Here's a picture of the finished product.

I hope you liked this blog post.  Follow me on Twitter @uniquelymike  This is good with almost any ice cream. Have a great day!

Waiting For Powdered Sunflower Seed Butter - 3/17/2014

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone out there. I hope you are safe and sober.  Hopefully, you will not find vomit in your city streets tomorrow morning.

I recently bought a pouch of PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter with chocolate.  I realize that there are people out there with peanut allergies.  I know of sunflower seed butter in certain retail shops.  Why not have a powdered sunflower seed butter as well. It is only logical.

I am still waiting for that to happen. If you know of a company that does a powdered sunflower seed butter, please contact me by e-mail at mikea1@earthlink.net or on Twitter @uniquelymike

I look forward to seeing you on my next post.  Have a great day.

Bingo Burger Coming to Colorado Springs - 3/8/2014

I was in the Downtown area of Colorado Springs, CO. today. I saw that a Bingo Burger is coming soon.  It's on N. Tejon St. near Bijou. It's under construction as we speak.  It'll be next to a Starbucks Coffee.  There is a location in Pueblo.

I'll probably go there when it opens and when I have the money for it. I looked at their website http://www.bingoburger.com Check out their menu.  I will let you know when I know when the Grand Opening is.
