Giovanni Rana's advertising


Standing Frog What's for Dinner Chef 


Yesterday after thinking about McDonald's intuitive advertising where a fry with ketchup on it in realtime was all that was on the box, I thought off how advertising is so similar to a rocket launch, where all the boom and fizz is with the rocket but its the payload or the product that reaches the orbit.

In Delizia!: The Epic History of the Italians and their food, author John writes about how Giovanni Rana thought that his surname Rana which means frog in Italian brought a touch of "warts-and-all" sincerity to the relationship of the brand with the customers.

Epiphany Marketing: The Heart of Marketing Starts at your Core 


Yesterday at Mcdonalds, while having French fries, my daughter showed me a fry with ketchup on top, which matched the picture on the fries box. I said "That is Marketing". Even an elementary school kid gets it. 




Rana Tagliatelle Grilled White Chicken & Portobello Mushroom Sauce


Rana Tagliatelle Grilled White Chicken & Portobello Mushroom Sauce 40 oz


Yesterday for dinner, I made this Rana Tagliatelle Grilled White Chicken & Portobello Mushroom, meaning I put it all in the microwave. I hadnt gone to the Costco, when it was bought. So I had no idea what to expect. I should have probably thawed it vefore the actual cooking. The noodles were no where close to al-dente. I dont know how I digged depper into my culinary acumen, but I boiled this mess in milk. It seemed to get better. I added some more milk. During all this, I was doing Ultimate bodyweight workout for beginners workout. All said and done, turned out to be a great dinner with a friend included. I was so pleased with my invisible hand in tweaking this to perfection. 
Now we have the cool looking Rana black box.
Rana company also has Chicken Mozzarella Tortellini and OrganicBroccoli & Fontina ravioli.

Ultimate Bodyweight workout for beginners



Ultimate Bodyweight workout for beginners

13 min remaining in Gin Millers swing yourself fit and then onto this.
The warm up, muscle activation, dynamic warmup, everything was moves that I have never done. And the peak - neurological, isometric split. I enjoyed the resistance workout. That was apropos 30 minute workout.
The rest day after?
The next day I did the cardio, which was fun too. I think that a move on left and right counting as two seperate moves is a great idea. There were some spotty dogs which I was first introduced to in the Dani Thompson glamour workout. Monster jumps and criss-cross movements, keeping it active.
Now there is Ultimate bodyweight workout for advanced after this beginner fun.

Gin Miller's Swing yourself Fit

I did about 15 min of this exercise with a dumbell and then I was done. I was putting pressure on the same muscles that I had worked out with yesterday's Power Abs workout and day before yesterday with Jill Brown's full body workout.
I couldnt help but wonder about what a powerhouse and an Amazon that Gin Miller is. Gin Miller is the revolutionary force behind the step fitness phenomenon.
I will give this exercise a go today. Didnt know that there was a National Fitness Hall of Fame.
