Super Unhappy Most Not-So-Excellent Picture

Taking a short leave from the lighter side, I figured I really needed to post this picture for a wee bit of perspective now and then. Lest I complain about how awful my pizza rolls, Hamburger Helper, or frozen pot pie taste ever again, all I need to do is look at this picture.

This is the hand of a woman in Port-au-Prince who is preparing mud cookies. They're made of dirt, salt, and vegetable shortening. I guess food is running really low there and prices are naturally going up.

I can't even imagine how bad these must taste. There have to be some pretty hungry people for this to happen.

Sorry to bring ya down, but ya can't keep your eyes closed ALL the time.
