Here is the recent podcast from Christine Beadsworth;
Take care everyone!
My thoughts on our current Reality
Shhhh. Don't tell anyone. That is how old I am today. Totally non-descript age if there ever was one. Take care out there.
Most of the snow has melted. I watched out the window as a boy with a shovel built himself a snow bunker complete with bug out bag. Well, there was a backpack in there anyway. I think, given enough snow and time, this boy could actually construct a working igloo. As it was, he got bored and abandoned it.
My husband asked me a week ago where I wanted to go for dinner for my birthday. (It is tomorrow – not saying how old I will be.) I thought about it several times but really couldn't think of anything. Thursday my husband said he found the perfect place for us to go out. There is a sushi bar in Junction City called Tokyo. We looked at the menu and everything looked great. Yesterday we drove over there for lunch. We were not disappointed.
The Tokyo restaurant was very high end inside and the food was excellent! I ordered the Kansas roll in honor of us now living in Kansas, but I don't recommend it. But the Captain Crunch roll was excellent. My husband always orders fried calamari when we go out for sushi – and I've tasted it before. I really don't like to eat fried rubber. But the fried calamari at Tokyo was delicious! They also made PERFECT little fried dumplings. We will definitely be going there again. They are a little pricey but well worth it. We had a great time.
Today I will be doing chores and gearing up for the work week. My dad is still in the hospital so please continue to pray for him. Everyone take care of yourselves. Love you!
I noticed this several years ago, but for some strange reason, Half and Half producers started quietly adding Dipotassium Phosphate to their product.
If you look into Dipotassium Phosphate (used in fertilizer and as a buffering agent in anti-freeze) you really have to wonder who's idea was it to start adding it to Half and Half? Half and Half should have two ingredients: Milk and Cream. That is it. How can you even still call it Half and Half if it more than two ingredients?
Although “generally recognized as safe” by the FDA – consider the source.
From here – originally derived from animal bones and urine. It is an inorganic compound. Meaning synthetic (meaning what the hell is in it)?
Here are some resources on it for your reading (dis)pleasure. Here, here, here and here.
I was at the store the other day and called my husband to let him know that they had no half and half that wasn't poisoned with Dipotassium phosphate. His response was, “I'm dying anyway.” I shrugged and bought some for him, but I won't touch the stuff myself.
