Oodles
If Zucchini noodles are Zoodles does that make Potato noodles Poodles?
Healthy Eating Shock
I normally try to eat healthy. It has been feeling good lately to save all my veggie matter to take to the community garden, then it dawned on me to use some of it in my own yard around veggies I'm trying to grow. Makes great compost.
Well this morning after running around doing my chores I stopped at a First Watch restaurant (noted for healthy menus) Bear in mind healthy does not mean low calorie so I have to watch that. I ordered a chia power bowl. I did not know that there was something called Chia Pudding made from chia seeds but that is what I had mixed with granola and fruit. Oh my goodness it was to die for. I came home to immediately google Chia Pudding Recipes and you can just blow me out of the water. Chia, coconut milk, vanilla, honey, soak overnight and in the morning you have Chia pudding. Many other recipes but I got so damn wet I had to come here and shout it out.
Eating Chia and flax seeds I've done for years but I didn't know Chia seeds swelled up sort of like tapioca. OMG I love it. My brother gave up sweets almost a year ago for diabetes, I will make this for him and use stevia instead of honey and he will be able to indulge without guilt or sugar. I'm so happy
And folks being happy is where it is at, I tell you.
Of course watch me make this recipe and it bombs, ha ha.

Waste Not - Want Not
I often wonder if we change as we age, or we just find our true core values and follow those instead of trying to please others? I was brought up as an urbanite with the focus being on how much stuff you had determined how successful you were.
Somewhere along life's paths, I've either developed a penchant for living in farming communities, or it's always been there and I'm just following my natural tendencies. I'm not sure which it is, but I love living in an agricultural area (well, maybe not the smell of freshly spread manure, but everything has it's ups and downs).
The wet, cold June we had morphed into a hot, sweltering July and between the two, the fruit, berries, and nut trees flourished. The abundance of apples on the trees has branches breaking from the weight of it's fruit. All the fruit seemed to be ready at the same time, and one simply could not eat as much as was available.
The only thing I've noticed lately is that there are numerous houses and areas of apple, pear, and nut trees, laden with their harvest, dropping their fruit on the ground to rot. I just don't understand that. If you can't, or don't want to pick your fruit, why not ask if someone would like to come and pick it? We have a fb page for our community that you can mention something like that and whoever answers first would be the one you'd give your contact info to, so you're not inundated with people.
Along the trails in the US I noted the same thing, apple trees sagging under the weight of the fruit - and the fruit just going to waste. I noted one house in the community next to me has bags of pears and apples they sell out front of their house. Sure, they had to pick it, but at least it's not going to waste. In fact, I'm going to drive by there today and pick some up.
I think the most unfortunate part is that there are people that would willingly pick the fruit to can or whatever they do with it, to help feed their family in the winter. Many of these same people will give the owner of the tree some of what they've made as a thank you. Seems like a heck of a deal to me, so I wonder what kind of circumstances people have that they don't utilize the harvest nature provides for them?
It's just an observation, as I grew up with fruit trees in our back yard, and picking and canning the fruit (along with eating it fresh), was all part and parcel of owning these trees. It helped feed us over the winter, especially when money was tight.
I might be tempted to just go and pick some of the fruit I see going to waste, but not before checking with the homeowner. Unless it's on a boulevard - then permission isn't necessary.
Waste not - want not.

Banner Days
Ever have one of those days where you're really busy and eating seems to be something you cram in on your way to somewhere else? Well, I have lots of those days, but today was exceptional. Of course, what usually happens on those days, is that I don't know what to have for dinner, either.
For some reason, I've lost my appetite completely in the morning, and don't usually eat until about lunch time. Today I was busy getting orders ready, and I was just going to head south without eating at all. Well, after crossing the bridge and realizing I hadn't gotten the postage on one of my Canadian orders, I had to turn around to get the quote and drop off the package back at home. Although most border guards are pretty good, there are two that have been after my a** because they're pissed off that I use the commercial crossing to come home. They've done all kinds of delay tactics with the gate, and now that the gate arms are left up, they've resorted to searching my car. If they were on and I had my own product in the car to mail in Canada, they'd charge me some kind of fee for bringing it back across the border. So I had to ensure there was nothing extra in my car.
While dropping off the parcel at home, so I could email the client with the postage due, I told myself to just make a quick wrap to take with me, and that if I didn't, I'd be gnawing on the steering wheel on the way home.
My orders delivered and errands run, I headed home, with still no idea of what to have for dinner. Once home and scrolling through my fb feed, a recipe for Lime Cilantro Shrimp showed up. Taking a quick look, I had almost everything except the sour cream. Okay, I could do without that.
Well, if that wasn't one of the quickest, easiest and delicious meals I've had in a long time. The shrimp was absolutely delicious and paired with avocado - YUM! Some steamed green beans to go with it, and dinner's served! Took all of about 10 minutes.
My dessert was a 'cleansing cocktail' of ginger, beet, apple and carrots - a deep red concoction which I added more ginger to, loving the flavour of it. I may have added a bit too much, as it had a definite 'bite' to it, but I really enjoyed it. (Is there such a thing as too much ginger?)
I'm always so happy with myself when I don't give in to laziness and make myself healthy meals instead of opting for a fast food option - even if the option is a salad.
So today was a banner day, forcing myself to take the time to make a lunch, and a bonus when the shrimp recipe showed up on my fb feed, and having all the ingredients on hand.
I'm hoping that next Wednesday will be another banner day, showing an additional (at least) 2 lb weight loss. I've lost 8 lbs, and want to be down 2 more when I go see the dr next week.
For whatever reason, I'm really tired tonight and, as my bed seems to be screaming my name, that's where I'm headed, despite the early hour.

Good news stoners
As if Thanksgiving isn't already an excuse to stuff......yourself with food,
why not ensure you get the munchies, while you are already feasting.
That's right. If the tryptophan in your turkey wasn't enough to mellow you out,
one manufacturer has come out with cannabis infused gravy.
Wow man ! Have another hit......from the gravy boat.
The good news, is that both you and your closed-minded uncle
will totally forget about what you two were arguing about.
Bon appetit man.

In response to:
Forget about those turkey-tryptophan myths, your mellow mood this Thanksgiving could come from a packet of powdered gravy. Just add water, heat, stir, eat and let all those awkward family conversations float away on a cloud of cannabis.
California cannabis company Kiva Confections created a Thanksgiving turkey gravy loaded with THC, the chemical compound that gives marijuana its oomph. Kiva said its sauce "is made with cutting-edge technology that bypasses edibles' normally lengthy trip through the liver, instead absorbing into the soft tissue and stomach."

Sushi Buffet...
I had lunch at a famous Japanese Sushi Buffet today. It doesn't matter that they have small plates as it's an 'all you can eat' restaurant. So I had 3 full plates and a few trips to the desert display.
Yeah, too good to the point where I ate so much my breathing was impaired. When I got home I went into a state of hibernation.
My vital signs are coming back online and I'll probably go walking later.
Mmmm... sushi

A Simple Restaurant Secret Anyone Can Do
We all seen the perfect baked turkey. Breast side up golden, looks so delicious.
Truth is, that turkey will not be as good to eat as it could have been. In restaurants, when you order turkey, you get it by the slice and the breast meat is always so moist and juicy. When they bake the turkey in restaurants, they simply bake it breast side down. The juices from the dark meat run down over and through the white meat making it moist and juicy. that is the secret to moist breast meat.
The turkey won't present the same out of the oven, it will look blah. Its not served a turkey at a time though, its served by the slice and when sliced up, the look of the turkey won't matter. The enhancement in flavor more than makes up for the lesser appearance.
Ps: Also applies to chicken and other birds.
