Good late morning from Atlanta which is having a cold snap.
I have been looking at juicers. Does anyone have one they like? Juicing is highly recommended for getting all the good nutrition from fruits and veggies to help fight diseases.
The youth and college students along with our youngest aged (30+) pastor will be doing tomorrow’s service. It should be very good.
For some reason it does not seem like Saturday to me. The weeks fly by during tax season.
Yeah, we have 5 to 8 inches of snow, something in that range, and a high only in the twenties today. Yesterday I’d finally set up my new camera and wanted to take it out birding; instead I’ve been photographing snow on the trees. It’s lovely, but I’m ready for spring!
Janice, I think I need to get my blender out of the high cupboard, figure out ways to get more fruits and veggies that way. I munch carrot sticks and apples and put blueberries and strawberries on cereal, but I honestly have such a hard time keeping fresh produce from going bad as a single who just doesn’t go through them that quickly ….
Going through some coffee this morning. It was a very busy work week, so Saturday is a very welcome respite.
We do have some remarkable snow views of the mountains all around us right now.
I never realized there were so many differences between juicers blenders, and processors! The juicers basically “spit out’ (my term) juice and pulp separately, from my basic understanding. Some juicers can handle greens but others don’t do so well. Then thef re’s celery strings that can mess up some juicers so you have to cut the celery in small pieces. I am learning! It’s all good.
We had venison for dinner last night. I had a freezer pack of ten small, half dollar size, pieces. It was really good. I sauteed it, but thought maybe it was packed to be stew meat.
Had plenty of fruit on my cereal this morning, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries … Those blend easy for drinks, but veggies maybe not as well in a regular blender.
Is protein powder in those blended drinks still “a thing” for a meal replacement?
Caught up with our longtime former cop reporter by phone this morning, good to reconnect, it’s been a couple months since we’ve talked – he’s freelancing for some papers in Northern California now, covering a town he’s never even been to.
I forget the brand of my blender but it was one of the better ones when I bought it (probably 5-7 years ago now?).
Picked up groceries and a prescription and dropped off a return and filled up with gas this afternoon. The Jeep was happy to get out again, more than usual these past couple of days — and tomorrow it’s off to church.
I connected with a couple former colleagues earlier today by phone and online, good guys and those were good times back in the day when there was a newsroom and things hadn’t all spun out quite yet.
That was a cute cat thing, but I did not understand a word of it😃 The link worked fine.
Dj, people can use protein powder if they wish, dj. The program I am listening to does not talk about protein powder. It is all supposed to be plant based. Many protein products are dairy based (think whey). I have enjoyed Dr. Grundy’s plant based protein powder with coconut milk.
I thought protein powder was all soy based. So very full of estrogen. We have a vitamix which makes everything smooth. I have a juicer, which was given to me. It is a pain to clean. I think we need the fiber, so just use the vitamix.
I need to look at the Vitamixer. I think the amounts of concentrated nutrients sought after in the anti-cancer diet for those with active cancer would be too much bulk if all the pulp was consumed.
The research the presenter in this program has done on soy has shown to him that soy has a bad reputation because of its association with estrogen. It does not cause the problems like estrogen found in meat and dairy products, and has abilities to fight cancer according to him.
This program is based on stories of those who did natural ways to fight cancer and had great success. Some have had success from carrot juice alone, but quantities so great that it turns the skin orange. I think of it rather like natural chemotherapy.
We had a juicer and I was astonished at the waste and cleaning challenge. Got rid of the juicer but have the vitamin and ninja. But we rarely juice anything.
Good morning, all. A couple more inches of snow and snowing. My dad and two children and I are home from church. Husband, as the only allowed supervisor of son in law and grandchildren, is off to Catholic Church with them and their other grandmother.
As far as we know, we are not required to go this route but prefer to not rock the life raft. He does plan to get a lawyer and talk with the court clerk this week, but Idaho law specifically says none of this is valid without paperwork and it is up to her lawyer to file it. So far, no paperwork in hand so he should be free to have his children Thursday to Monday morning. She claimed, somehow, most child time when he clearly has done that for the past year and several years before. But the judge only heard her lawyer. Bizarre.
She plans to move to North Dakota in less than two weeks, with the children and based on the judge’s oral orders, will bring them back every two weeks for two days with their dad. We will see. I doubt she plans to do that.
Feeling sad over that whole situation, Mumsee. Hopeful God will tiurn it around.🙏
We had a beautiful service done by the young pnes in the church. Very talented to lead worship as they did.
I know the juicers require more effort, but people are motivated by not spending hours of time and agony in chemo and radiatIon. To well and healthy people it seems extreme, but fighting cancer is an extreme endeavor one way or another. I don’t plan to do the whole program, but can make some changes to up my odds against cancer.
Michelle, I have really come to appreciate your attention to historical facts. I just finished a trilogy from a popular author where the first century Christians were eating corn!!! It made me doubt everything historical in the story – did a lot of googling to fact check some of the things in the stories (not that google is always accurate…)
I had a lovely afternoon walking on the park boardwalk trail and visiting at friend’s home. It was a spur of the moment thought to do that so I could pick up her tax info for Art. The weather was perfect for our walk.
The type juicer I am thinking about is easier to clean than some models. It’s an Omega brand. I am just gathering info since I have never been in the market for that kind of contraption.
well I saw my next nephew yesterday and his three children. Two are autistic. He did well with them. Not easy to always respond with grace. Today he was going to New York with the oldest for part of a clinical trial for her cancer. I think God has called me to a ministry of prayer. At the gift shop here I found a pillow from Peru for them. And then went back for another that was just alpaca fur. I thought she might enjoy having something so soft to take with her. jo
Kare, it depends on where the book was printed or who wrote it. To the British, “corn” is the word for “grain” (thus the KJV refers to corn); what we call corn the British call Indian corn.
But yes, that is the type of thing I try to catch. It is impossible for editors to know everything about everything (though I personally try to run questions about subjects I don’t know by someone who does; if it is regarding the rules of sports, for instance, I run it by my husband to make sure it’s accurate). Books should also have a couple of proofreaders to increase the chances of catching mistakes, but I usually do see errors in books I read.
Thanks, Kare— that’s why it takes so long. Like Cheryl, the editors I’ve worked with, do question facts as well as grammar.
I’m with Mumsee on the juicer. I used it twice, couldn’t believe the complicated clean—up and gave it away.
I’ve spent this wild rainy windy day reading about Elisabeth Elliot’s life in Ecuador by a new biographer. The story is different than what I remember— and not necessarily in a good way. 😦
