When I think back On these times
And the dreams We left behind
I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back On these days
I'll look and see your face
You were right there for me

[Chorus:]
In my dreams I'll always see you soar Above the sky
In my heart There will always be a place
For you for all my life
I'll keep a part Of you with me
And everywhere I am There you'll be
And everywhere I am There you'll be

Well you showed me How it feels
To feel the sky Within my reach
And I always Will remember all
The strength you Gave to me
Your love made me Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

'Cause I always saw in you My light, my strength
And I want to thank you Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always

Today's Confessions of a Dietitian

Sonic. 44 ounces, please. Now...

If you've never tried Sonic's
Diet Cherry Limeade, you're missing a little piece of heaven. Sonic hosts their daily "Happy Hour" between 2 and 4pm where these amazing slushes are half off - SCORE! Mmmm...

While I almost decided to write, "It's DIET, don't judge" on my 44-ouncer (that sits on my desk all afternoon as I counsel the overweight and the diabetics), I recalled how conveniently guilt-free my indulgence is. For a mere
25 calories, I can partake in my afternoon delight...shamelessly. And so, I do.

When I was paying at Sonic today, however, I got to thinking about Sonic etiquette. I'm from the north as we know, and Sonic's are NOT more frequently spotted than gas stations anywhere but Oklahoma. So I quizzed local Oakie's as to whether or not tipping your carhop was an appropriate gesture, and if so, what's an appropriate tip?

Consensus: "Keep the change." I'm down with that, except that my $2.08 habit (not during 2-4pm) would run me another $0.92 on a daily basis. I don't make enough for that, now! I decided $2.50 was a fair compromise, and I loaded up my change receptacle in my car.

Crisis averted. But in all seriousness, you should grab yourself a little sip of heaven next time you pass by a Sonic. It won't disappoint.

Disclaimer: Sonic Diet Cherry Limeade is highly addictive. Consume with caution.



Pumpkin Leaves for eating


I love making use of as much of the plant as possible so I am so Delighted to find the Pumpkin Leaf can be eaten . I am reading that it is a southern Africa Dish

The Article

TIP OF THE WEEK: Keep an eye on your pumpkin plants. Restrict the production to two or three fruits max per plant to concentrate the energy of the plant into producing larger pumpkins. Cut away the unwanted babies when they are grapefruit-size, cook and eat.

Dark green pumpkin leaves contain a great amount of vitamin A that is vital for a proper growth, healthy eyes and protection from disease. Moreover, pumpkin leaves are a great source of calcium, iron, protein, and calcium and they can be prepared in many ways. First of all, leaves should be washed every time before cooking and placed in boiling water. They should be eaten with coconut cream or other fats in order for the body to assimilate the vitamin A.

Backyard BBQ: The Art of Smokology

Microwaving plastic...hmmm...

Lily and I are flying solo this week, as Mark is at headquarters for business. The last thing I wanted to do last night was cook, so I popped in a SmartOnes -- SantaFe Style Rice and Beans, I believe it was called. Anyways, those things don't fill up this heifer, so I decided to add in more corn...which I happened to have in one of those steamable bags. I read the directions: 4-5 minutes on high. Now, I admit, I reheat leftovers in tupperware which I've been told is bad (but is it?!)...but the steamables bag...that just seemed way more wrong than my reheating-in-tupperware laziness. So, of course, I researched this morning as I sipped my daily vice: cappuccino. As for me and my tupperware, I am in luck. The FDA approves microwave-safe plasticware for chemical leaching onto food when heated. Any plastic products emitting unsafe amounts of chemicals onto foods are deemed unsafe for retail sale. And what about those leftover fajitas sitting in Styrofoam I plan to eat for lunch? Well, those can likely be reheated in the same fashion [1].

Similarly, Mayo Clinic dietitian, Katherine Zeratsky, discussed this same topic in a January 2009 article on the heating of plastic and the release of dioxins. Firstly, dioxins are cancer-causing substances found in soil, water, and animal fat. They are commonly created from forest fires and the burning of household trash. Reheating food in plastic, however, is also discussed as being safe from this credible source, as well [2]. The American Cancer Society concurs, too. So...

Microwave safety tips [1]:


- If you're like my family and think anything with a lid is reusable storage, please be advised that margarine tubs, cottage cheese tubs, yogurt containers, and plastics of the like are typically NOT microwave-safe


- If you're not sure whether or not a plastic is microwave-safe, play it safe and transfer it to a plate or glass dish - Remember to vent or leave open a jar any plasticware being reheated

- Use wax or parchment paper when reheating food on a plate rather than plastic wrap -- plastic wrap, while being heated, should not touch food


I'm glad my corn-bulked meal was A-okay, and now I'm even more-so looking forward to those fajitas at lunchtime...reheated in styrofoam.
