For the last five years, my children have been begging and pleading for a dog. After side stepping the issue through purchasing many other pets like fish, sea monkeys and hamsters (most of you know how badly that ended), the parental armor broke down. We researched finding the best breeds for our family, because three out of four of us have severe allergies. [...]
I consider myself very lucky to have a husband who has a love for gardening. The yard is manicured and the flower beds are beautiful. What he enjoys the most is his herb garden: rosemary, thyme, basil and chives just to name a few. It’s always nice to know that fresh herbs are available at [...]
In an attempt at social media irony, I have decided to Blog about Tweeting. I really know very little (nothing) about Twitter. One of the advantages to blogging is you do not need to know anything about the subject. Maybe you don’t even need to know anything about any subject. I surmise the term twitter comes from [...]
Recently I re-discovered the pleasures of cooking. I especially enjoy cooking with fruits & veggies! I love to surprise my hubby with an exotic dish you'd otherwise order @ a fancy restaurant, or perhaps indulge in while on vacation in a dreamy location (braised pork with coconut milk & pineapple, anyone?!). I search & pull recipes of the Internet, try old family secrets & have bought cookbooks of international cuisines I love. Thai & Mexican to be exact. Believe me, there's so much more to Mexican food than Taco's!When a recipe called for Asparagus the other day, I went to the nearest supermarket & bought some. The label of the package read "Produce From Peru". Hmmmmmmm. Peru is about 2,600 miles away from Florida - by plane. It made me think about what keeps veggies so "fresh & green", especially if they have to travel so far. Asparagus is a traditional spring vegetable & I just bought some in Florida in July... My family's health is very important to me so I embarked on a journey to learn more about where our food comes from & what's in it! First stop, we will finally watch a movie I heard a long time ago: "Food Inc.", Academy Award Nominee "Best Documentary Feature". I'll be sure to report back on our impressions & next steps.Are you concerned about our food? What are you doing to ensure you are eating a healthy, nutritious diet? Let me hear your thoughts!Cheers,
