Hodgson Mill Organic Corn Meal

I don’t know how much you know about GMO foods (genetically modified), but the more I know, the more I don’t want to eat them.  According to Jeff Cox, author of  The Organic Food Shopper’s Guide, the European Union, China, India, and Zambia refuse to import GMO foods into their country.  Since some of our corn here in the US is GMO corn, I have been trying to buy organic frozen corn from Central Market as well as organic corn meal such as Hodgson Mill’s Yellow Organic Corn Meal.  Organic corn is never genetically modified!  Always look for the little green circular label that says “USDA Organic” for truly organic food.

Weather

We have been having so much rain which is great because we need rain.   However, it has been cloudy and humid for so many days that people are longing to see the sun.  During the summer when it was so hot and dry and you needed wrinkle creams to keep your skin from drying out, people were wishing for rain.

Ideally, it would be nice to have rain for two or three days a week and then sunshine for the rest of the week.  However, we are not the ones in control of the weather.  So I guess we need to be thankful for the rain which we really need! And when sunny days come, we will be really thankful for them!

Some Days When…

There are some days when I’m hungrier than others, and today was one of those days.  It’s just taken more to fill me up.  I still try to eat healthy when I eat more, and if I have a dessert then I have a very small serving.  Even though I’m pretty much at my ideal weight, I still have belly fat and probably always will. There’s something about having had a couple of babies in the past that changes things.

Cancer Awareness

I’m seeing pink everywhere, in the Albertson’s grocery store ad, on products in the store, and other places.  This is a good thing because it brings to people’s attention the facts about breast cancer which has affected so many of our friends and relatives.  There are other cancers which people are becoming more aware of, too.   Early detection of cancer helps to save lives.  Encourage those you love to go for check-ups and mammograms.

Fall is Here!

Wow, I can’t believe how fast this year is going by.  Fall is definitely here! Halloween’s just two and a half weeks away.  And then Thanksgiving is soon to follow.  The day after that is “Black Friday” (when some people may think they need safety vests to survive), and then the Christmas season begins.

The leaves have not started changing colors here yet in north Texas.  My husband says they will probably turn colors later this year because of all the rain we’ve had.  I think that means, too, that the colors will be more brilliant and last longer.  I sure hope so.  I love the colors of fall!

If my daddy were still alive, I would get this for him for Christmas. One of his favorite singers was Patti Page.   I remember as a little girl, I loved the song she sang called “How Much is That Doggy in the Window?”  Most of you probably have never heard of it, but from what I remember it’s a good song.

Chatting

I know a lot of people go to chat rooms, do a live chat, or go to Facebook to chat, but I haven’t done much of that except on Facebook.   It’s pretty neat to chat and be able to “talk” to my son, daughter, or a friend.  I mostly send and receive a lot of emails, though, or I might send a message on Facebook and receive one back.  But I can see myself using the chat feature more and more.

I Lost Four Pounds!

I have been doing substitute teaching the past few weeks.  Without even trying, I lost four pounds.  I don’t need fat burners. There’s something about being on my feet several hours during the day, being busy teaching or helping students, plus having a short lunch break and eating less, that causes me to lose weight.  When I used to be a teacher full-time, it was common for me to lose five to ten pounds during the first six weeks of school because the first few weeks are extremely busy.

Val says, “Hi everybody.  This week I’m asking players to answer 1 question. You’re making an ice cream sundae. What four ingredients do you want in it?”

My answers are:

  1. Ice cream (vanilla)
  2. Fresh fruit (strawberries and bananas)
  3. Chocolate sauce
  4. Whipped cream and nuts

LOL…I know I squeezed in more than four, but this is soooo good!

The Topic of “Insurance”

Insurance is the topic of a lot of people’s conversations these days.  Whether it’s NC short term health insurance, long term health insurance, accident  insurance, or whatever type of insurance, it seems a lot of people are talking about the future of insurance.   It’s something we need, yet there are problems with our present insurance system.  But changing the system without enough study about all the effects of any change is not a good thing in my estimation.  It needs to be studied from every angle to see ramifications of the change.   There needs to be input from many varied sources so that a nonpartisan group can come up with a workable solution.

Car Accessories

Some people are interested in getting chrome accessories for their car or vehicle.  Chrome door handles, chrome trim, or chrome window visors add to the look of the car.  Some people are looking for accessories for the interior of their vehicle such as additional cup holders or maybe floor mats.  Whatever the accessories, they add to the owner’s enjoyment of the vehicle.
