Last week I posted an adaptation of Mark Bittman's recipe for Black Bean Burgers — fast food, much improved -  and I promised to post the companion Mexican Chocolate Shake and Sweet Potato Fries today.

The recipes were inspired by an article Bittman wrote for the New York Times entitled: "Yes, Healthful Fast Food is Possible. But edible? (April 3, 2013)"

Ann Arbor native and “Party Hard” rock star Andrew WK (Wilkes-Krier) has had, to put it mildly, an eclectic career.

His life in music began at age 4, when he started studying classical piano; and throughout his teens, he was part of several bands. Eventually, after WK moved to New York, his party-anthem hit "Party Hard" brought him national attention back in 2001.

Since then, he has since stayed famous by way of: motivational speaking (at NYU and Yale, among other places); an appearance at a My Little Pony conference; an apparent appointment as a U.S. cultural ambassador to the Middle East (which the U.S. Department of State revoked just before WK was scheduled to fly to Bahrain); being named spokesman for Fresh + Sexy Wipes; being co-owner of New York’s Santos Party House in New York City; and belting Ramones songs with Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg at Santos and, soon, on a world tour.

Before that happens, though, WK will play a secret late-night show in Southeast Michigan on May 25, following his performance at Howell’s Bledfest music festival. The money raised by WK's midnight show will support Ann Arbor’s Community High School. WK attended CHS from 1993-97.

Details about the location and time of the secret house party will be released via Twitter following WK’s set at Bledfest.

One of the most exciting aspects of medicine is watching the development of new technologies which continuously come along and change the way we practice medicine.

This helps promote healing, reduces inflammation and reduces pain without drugs and with quick results. There are many disease that can benefit from therapy laser. Almost any painful or inflammatory condition can be treated to some degree.
