• Just got an e-mail from our local NBC station saying the Yankees just won the 2011 World Series. WTF on so many levels. http://bit.ly/i4MpUP #
• Finally tried Blue2O (seafood place in Cherry Hill). Very impressed! Reasonable prices for delicious fresh fish. http://bit.ly/fsT7gG #
• It’s April & it’s snowing like crazy. (and that’s not even an April fools joke.) #
• These photos of the Iditarod and other dogsled races from The Boston Globe’s Big Picture are spectacular. http://bo.st/eSBkgj #
• I miss going to the @Phillies home opener every year with my Uncle Joe, but I’m glad it was never a few degrees above freezing like today! #
• Tried @McDonalds iced coffee today. Terrible. More milk than coffee. Almost bad as the crap @Starbucks sells! Threw it away. Back to Dunkies #

Here in New Jersey when we think of a delicious breakfast, the mind immediately conjures images of a diner. I’m particular partial to a bacon and cheese omelet, with hash browns, some toast and a bottomless cup of diner coffee. However, sometimes you don’t have time to spend in a diner. That’s where my second favorite breakfast place comes into play. I like just about anything from McDonald’s breakfast menu, but the item that most people associate with McDonald’s breakfast is the Egg McMuffin. It was created by Herb Peterson in 1972. After 36 years and more sandwiches sold than he ever imagined, I’m sure, Herb passed away at the age or 89.

Some people’s legacy is on a headstone, Herb’s will live on on the McDonald’s menu board.

Read his obituary on CNN.
