A Little Humor For a Rainy Thursday Afternoon

On the Continent people have good food; in England people have good table manners.

I guess I will move to the continent...  one country at a time lol! I am suddenly thinking of Peach Melba and dinner is ages away. :(

The world still consists of two clearly divided groups: the English and the foreigners. One group consists of less than 50 million people; the other of 3,950 million. The latter group does not really count. George Mikes

No Moaning for Me This Morning

This morning I want everyone to be grateful for what is in their lives. We hear that all the time, but do we really stop to think about what and who we have in our lives at this very moment and how quickly it can be snatched away from us? I have a roof over my head, food in the pantry, an 81 year old mother, a husband that I have had 30 odd years, two children and a granddaughter. I think that I'm pretty lucky and I should never have the audacity to moan about what I don't have!

Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.

The Best Pasta Sauce Ever

I have heard of women who spend the entire day in the kitchen preparing their pasta sauce for dinner. Well, to be honest, I kind of laughed at them. Who wants to spend the entire day in the kitchen when you can simply open a can?? Okay, that was before I tasted Vodka Sauce.

A few minutes ago, I happened upon this recipe and it caught my eye. I could actually make Vodka Sauce from scratch... me, someone who rarely visits the kitchen. You are going to find tons of photos along with the ingredients which aren't all that unusual and when you are done, I have a feeling that you won't be going back to that can I first spoke about!

After realizing that I'm not eating anywhere close to enough fiber in my diet, I began reading labels and that just made everything worse! For my age, I'm supposed to take in 21 grams of fiber each day. It's not easy!! Most food items have maybe 1 or 2 grams so it takes a lot of food to get to that 21 grams. So when I came across this list of recipes, I thought that I would share. Trust me, you won't run out of ideas anytime soon and some of these recipes look AWFULLY good! Yes, it's 20 minutes before lunch and I am getting hungry!
