It is a departure for you. How swingy is swingy?<br /><br />Have you seen the Ted Talk with the woman who transformed the school lunches in Northern California? It is a great lecture. I don't do dairy. Missed it at first (especially cheese) but now that I've been dairy free for so long, trust me, it all is gross and smells weird.<br /><br />I saw a container yesterday that was for the "strawberry filling" that is used in donuts. Strawberries were the SIXTH ingredient. Apples were the fifth. And Americans wonder why they are obese? As my obese brother says: "It's not the dress that makes you look fat, it's the fat that makes you look fat." Quite the poet, eh?kippihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346284045882651761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266182378025878077.post-58901873803595848252009-12-09T20:36:47.291-05:002009-12-09T20:36:47.291-05:00I hope you feel better soon, Sharon!

Books that were not available on Kindle when they were first released are now. So I downloaded a bunch of books that I'm looking forward to now.<br /><br />In addition to The Jungle, there were reports today that even fast food places reject the food that gets sent to our schools. Sr. Jr. is really into food and cooking, so I hope that we can come up with some good healthy menus together.Loren Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960126704097428609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266182378025878077.post-79230024694158386982009-12-09T20:03:07.581-05:002009-12-09T20:03:07.581-05:00Love that fat kitty!

Whatever.<br /><br />Hmm, The Jungle. We just watched Food, Inc. so now my husband is worried that I'm going to take dairy of the menu too. Pretty gross. <br /><br />I have to say that my 12 year old acts like Jr. Jr. over the presents. Her face lit up like the proverbial Christmas tree when she saw them sitting in the corner. I intentionally did not label any of them (testing how much dementia has set in on my part)because I want to keep her guessing about which are hers. <br /><br />Stay well,<br /><br />SSharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266182378025878077.post-46795442252369607632009-12-09T15:00:14.976-05:002009-12-09T15:00:14.976-05:00does he know what the Jungle is about? he probably...does he know what the Jungle is about? he probably thought it was a war book (I've never read it but know what it's about)Scott T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02057466019736735862noreply@blogger.com
