Mia & Grace

Mia & Grace Bakery & Bistro is a small little restaurant located in Muskegon, Michigan. They are not your usual cafe. Chefs Jamie and Jeremy Paquin have a different philosophy on food. They believe that your meal should fresh and full of the finest local ingredients. Everything at their restaurant is made from scratch and includes seasonal local ingredients from farmers and growers around Michigan. Mia & Grace supports local farms, growers, and owner-operated businesses. As well as local artists, and you can buy their works of art right off the wall of the bistro. Part of the sales go directly to local charities that help stop hunger in West Michigan.

Mia and Grace have been recognized by many bloggers and other forms of media such as WZZM 13 News, Take Five & Company and Mlive.com. You can view their articles and videos on their website.

I would recommend this place to all of my friends. They have great interesting food and it is great to see a local business giving back to it's community! Check out their menu and make sure to check out Mia & Grace!

April Fool's Day Fun

So I don't know if anyone noticed how easy it is to trick people on the internet, but it's pretty dang easy. You would think being a person who is a fan of social media and other viral websites and such that I would expect there to be fun little tricks played today on some of my favorite websites. Since 2001 ThinkGeek has been fooling their customers into trying to purchase fake products. They actually sit and come up with tempting products that one might not know is actually fake. I was definitely fooled last year by the Personal Soundtrack Shirt . Apparently so were many other people, because, ThinkGeek actually created that product because so many customers tried to buy their fake shirt. So experiencing that last year one would think that I would not fall for that joke again...well beleive it or not it happened.

I opened my Gmail and found a newsletter from ThinkGeek and was filled with excitement because I love looking at the new nerdy geeky products they offer. Forgetting that it was April fool's I click through the new products and come across Squeez Bacon.Now, I am not a fan of bacon by any means...unless it is covered in chocolate and in a candy bar form. But I do have a few friends that LOVE bacon. So I thought this would be a nice gift...ya know for Easter or Flag Day or something. But I clicked "BUY" and then realized that got me again! I should have known Squeezable Bacon at $7.99 a bottle was too good to be true.

Here are some other awesome products

Oh and South Park has a new April Fool's episode on Comedy Central @ 10pm. No Joke.
