Blog Prompt – What foods do you keep out of sight?

Oh my goodness, do I have to list?

This has been a really bad past 2 weeks for craving.  My Pre-menapausal PMS was in full force for about 2 weeks until yesterday.

My lower back pain and walking bent over wasn’t fun this month.  I usually have that pain for a couple of days before my period, but not this time!

And on top of that the cravings.  All I wanted to do was eat pizza, salt and as much chocolate as I could eat.  I know I can’t eat that stuff.  I know I’m not suppose to eat that stuff.  BUT WHAT’S A GIRL SUPPOSE TO DO?

Thank goodness there wasn’t any chocolate in the house and I did have a couple of chips for the salt.  Well, actually, I had MORE than a few chips.  ALRIGHT!!!!  I had almost a whole bag!!!!!

hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *deep breath*

So after all the pain, the cravings, the bloating and being a week late, my friend came to visit me Thursday.  Thank goodness.

I finally found a doctor who can help me with natural hormones.  I was going to let nature take its course and go through menopause without any meds, but my body is having too hard of a time without them.  I don’t want synthetic oral hormones for sure.   I know my husband is wanting me to do something.  I can’t imagine why!

Blog Prompt: Today is National Pie Day. Describe your favorite pie.

Wow, I have to pick??? I will list my fav pies, because I can’t choose.

1. Key Lime Pie
2. Jefferson Davis Pie
3. Apple Pie
4. Pecan Pie
5. Silk Pie

Little trivia – Key Lime Pie is not suppose to be green. I found that out living here in Florida. So, I will share with you a great recipe for Key Lime Pie

KEY LIME PIE

• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (3 to 4 limes)
• 4 teaspoons grated lime zest
• 4 egg yolks
• 1 – 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 11 graham crackers
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

It’s easier to remove the lime zest from whole limes so I would start with that. Then I would cut the limes in half and squeeze out the juice being careful not to include any pits.

Put graham crackers in food processor to make into crumbs.

Blog Prompt: Today is Penguin Awareness Day. What is the most unusual animal you have ever seen?

I guess that would have to be the manatee.  One of natures kindest animals on the planet.  You can see them at Homasassa Springs in Florida and they are just magnificent.  I wanted to sit and just watch them swim and relax in the crystal clear spring waters.  I’m so glad to know that Florida takes special precautions for these giant creatures to make sure they stay around.  On June 8, 2006, The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission voted to reclassify the manatee on Florida’s list, to a “threatened” status in that state.  On the Federal level thought, they are still on the endangered list.  Man is its biggest predator with their boat propellers.

The average West Indian manatee weighs between 900-1200 pounds and swim about 3 – 5 mph.  They emit a wide range of sounds used in communication, especially between cows and their calves, yet also between adults to maintain contact and during sexual and play behaviors. They may use taste and smell, in addition to sight, sound, and touch, to communicate. Manatees are capable of understanding discrimination tasks, and show signs of complex associated learning and advanced long term memory.  They are herbivorves and eat over 60 varites of plant species.

Florida is about as far north as these mammals swim, wo we are very fortunate to see them so close to where we live.  Fossil remains of manatee ancestors show they have inhabited Florida for about 45 million years.

So, if any of you happen to be in Florida, please check out the manatees.  It’s something the whole family will enjoy.

I did a layout showing these wonderful creatures using Clever Crow Design’s kit called 1st Street.  You can find it here.

Blog Prompt – What is your favorite Thanksgiving dinner item?

I have to pick!!!!!!  I love my mom’s green been casserole and sweet potato casserole.  I always bring Garlic Cheese Baked Grits and that’s one of my favs too.  I guess the only thing I don’t like is that nasty green, marshmallow jello salad thing that is always staring at me when I fill my plate.  yuk!!

Desserts are always good too.  My fav is Italian Cream Coconut Cake without coconut.  If my mom puts that stuff in the cake, I won’t eat it.  I just can’t take the texture of coconut in my mouth.  It’s like eating paper.  There is always pumpkin and pecan pie for 2nd choices.

I would love to hear what everyone loves to eat on Thanksgiving.

Here is another layout using Clever Crow Designs with Midnight Clear kit.  This is so perfect for all your snowy pictures this winter.  The colors are just wonderful.

Blog Prompt – Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions?

I love traditions and we always have dinner at my mom’s.  She loves to cook, so we let her have a ball.  When she is in there, sparks fly from the pans there is so much going on in there. 

My mother’s sister, her husband, their daughter and her family and other friends will be joining us this year.  I love having bunches of people around for Thanksgiving.  That’s what its all about to me.

Our other tradition is to put up the Christmas tree while watching the Georgia and Georgia Tech football game on Saturday.  Now mind you, my husband isn’t helping me do this part.  He does help take everything down from the attic.  That is a tradition he wished stopped!!!

FUNNY VIDEO

My husband and I hardly watch tv live anymore and fast forward through commercials all the time.  The other day we were watching football in real time and sighing through the commercials when this one came on with Ozzy Osborne.  We both laughed so hard and I just had to share it with everyone else.  I hope you enjoy.  PS…..If you don’t know anything about Ozzy Osborne, you really won’t get this commercial.

Blog Prompt: Afghanistan had its first ever free, democratic elections on October 9, 2004. When was the first time you voted and how did you feel?

My first time voting was back in the 70′s and at the time, I was just doing my cevic duty and voting like the rest of America.  I really didn’t think much about it.  But, as I aged and watched America change, my political views changed and I became more interested in about how our government ran.

I would say since the Clinton era, I have made sure I understood each candidate, their views and if they clicked with mine.  I love watching the debates, I attended a Palin rally this year and have my sign in the window at my home.  I just wish I had paid more attention in school to politics and knew more about it.  But, I am learning more and more everyday.

No matter who your candidate is, please everyone, use your right to vote!
