How would you feel if you opened a carton and poured a chalky, bluish-white liquid into your coffee? That’s the color many nonfat milks are before powdered milk is added to whiten them—a process that brings its own problems.
Also, milk with some fat in it just tastes better.

A new study says you’re better off eating chocolate chip cookies for breakfast than these cereals.
So I’m making chocolate chip cookies for breakfast tomorrow.
Congress Reaps Pizza Harvest « NotionsCapital

It’s no wonder these kids can’t identify vegetables if their government, to whom many pledge allegiance to first thing every morning in school, is telling them that pizza in all its bready, cheesy glory, is a vegetable.

Barf, People, barf. This should read: What almost 50 in Hollywood looks like. She looks puffy and shiny and plastic.
When I was a teenager, the concern was that teen girls were comparing themselves with Kate Moss. Starving themselves to get that heroin chic look. It’s an illness. One that continues to persist.
As I, and other women in my generation age, I worry that this is the next thing. Hiding from our age, as though years that we have survived are a bad thing. That making it to 50 and looking it is a dishonourable thing. I look at women in Hollywood who are aging. Madonna is 52. Nicole Kidman and Halle Berry are 44. Demi Moore is 48. Brooke Shields is 46. And for all these women, the hair changes but the face stays the same.
It’s frightening. It’s frightening that they don’t age. It’s frightening that they expect us to believe that this is just what aging looks like now. And it’s frightening the lengths that women — young women getting botox in their 20s to deal with “wrinkles” — will go to in hopes that they achieve this “look” when they hit menopause.
I’m all for looking your best. I’m all for taking care of yourself, getting dressed to leave the house, eating well and being healthy. I wear make up and put on clothes that flatter. I get the desire to look nice, but I will always look like me and never expect the same me to face myself in the mirror, year after year.

Something doesn’t really add up here…
When I worked in tv news, Addison’s parents worked on the local side of the news room. After three weeks of enjoying a bouncing baby girl, Addison got very, very, very sick. The only solution? A heart transplant.
They were lucky. So very lucky. A heart the right size came up with in a couple of days of Addison getting put on the very top of the cross-Canada transplant list. Addison became the first heart transplant patient at BC Children’s Hospital and yesterday, she was able to go home again.
Addison’s parents documented the journey on a blog.
I hope they continue to do so.
And now I’m going to make sure I’m on the organ donor list.
