McDonald's launches new high-end hamburgers

Move over Big Mac. There's a new burger in town. McDonald's is testing a "premium patty" that's selling for $3.99 in California. Here's how the company, which is offering free samples at participating restaurants, describes it: The Angus Third Pounder comes in three varieties, the Angus Deluxe, Angus with Cheese and Angus Swiss with Mushrooms. Each is made with a one-third pound, 100-percent Angus beef patty on a bakery-style sesame seed roll. Ingredients include fresh leaf lettuce, red onion rings, fresh tomatoes, sauted mushrooms and natural Swiss cheese. Does that sound tasty? It's definitely not a health food. The Consumerist says the new burger "weighs in at a hefty 760 calories and 41 grams of fat. Add bacon and the burger shoots up to 860 calories and 48 grams of fat". The Los Angeles Daily News conducted a taste test.

On March 5, 2007, I uploaded my letter with the title "Harry Potter’s New Book After My ‘Hey Hello Dear….’ ", whereas I wrote that the title of the last Harry Potter book 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' is like inspired by my joke in the mailing list of my ex-senior high school friends based on Mc Donald’s TV commercial.

It was followed by the news on TV on March 7, 2007, about McDonald launching the new high end patty.

At the same day, there was also the news of U.S. Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) (L) shakes hands with you after introducing you to testify about American competitiveness before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington March 7, 2007.

Of course I should be better not jumping into conclusion about what could have been the connection of both news containing the "patty", except that for me it looks like your shake hand also has the meaning of congratulating the McDonald new products.

Another interesting story related to the above McDonald and Harry Potter is the news that Harry Potter’s last book has broken the record sales of 12 million copies for the first U.S. printing of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". Congratulation to JK Rowling for her smart hard work that would become a legend in the history of novel book publishing. Especially since the theme is rather classic.

Related with the above McDonald and Harry Potter, it would be incomplete if there were no photo of Desta and Vincent here, so I herewith posted their photo.

In the TV commercial that seems like inspiring the title of 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows', it was Desta who was leaving a shop while talking with his cell phone:" Hey, hello dear…". Then while he kept on walking, he suddenly fell into a hole of a ditch in front of the shop.

When he tried to climb out of the hole, Vincent who was concentrating on eating Mc Donald's while walking, stepped on Desta’s shoulder that made Desta fell to the hole again. And on his second attempt, the plank of the shop fell on Desta’s shoulder.

I certainly hope their photos would not appear in the last book of Harry Potter with a caption "two alumni of Hogwarts school…….".

Subject:  First Time Appearance of Julie Banderas Hosting Fox and Friends on St. Patrick's Day

 

 

Last night, March 17, 2007, in the Fox and Friend’s program commemorating St. Patrick's Day, Julie Banderas appeared for the first time as the host along with Greg Kelly and Kelly Wright. Previously she only appeared in the inserted part of Fox News Extra.

While E.D. Hill who previously often hosting the Fox and Friend’s, yesterday appeared on the Fox News Extra.

It reminds me with the moment when my aunt Julia died, whereas I was jumping to the grave hole to help the funeral, somewhat like when Desta was falling to the hole in the TV commercial. Of course it might look like against my consent to move up to the eternity, not to jump down. But I just wanted to give a hand for the last moments of my aunt Julia.
