Book and film

I recently got a copy of Top Secret Recipes Unlocked at $4.99 new. Very good book, I recommend it. It goes over a few things, like how Chex Mix pre-packaged tastes different than the Chex Mix on the box because they add MSG, how to make Jimmy Dean sausage, and how to recreate Coca-Cola Blãk, the odd beverage that only lasted two years, was expensive, looked like shoe polish (that was the name my high school choir teacher gave it), and tasted like a mixture of coffee and Coca-Cola (and cream soda).

I also watched Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief which is only tolerable if you assume that all kids with ADHD and dyslexia are actually Greek demigods, all Greek mythology is real but not any other religions. Even then, you get some sappy morals and some typical teenager action movie clichés.
