Mediterranean diet...Dr. Aitkens...whomever...whatever, thea! There is ONE, and just ONE word that covers the "amount of excess food" being carted around on the stomach, hips..thighs....of today's world...and it is SEDENTARY! Modern appliances, modern conveniences...TOO much time on their A$$E$...and NOT enough time on their feet. And a close follow-up..would be portion-size! I once had a very ...

You have got me confused, dear Ambie...as I am wondering whether the gingerbread, at all, was the catalyst? Ginger is the supreme calmative for stomach disruptions of any form, they now make GINGER Gravol in a jell. Ginger ale, de-effervescented for "icky" stomachs. Could it have been your pain meds?And now, the important question...WHAT, dear girl...is happening with that back of yours...s...

Not much fun, here in my answer, pye! Firstly, don't have cable or satellite, so do not have any cooking shows to watch! But, salt...is not an additive that I use, unless it is in the condiment, as you say, SOYA! Here, soya, is available in 50% less sodium, so that is what I opt for. And I have always questioned why, salt is added in all the old recipes that I have...was it to make sure that on...

Dear Kath..these are one of those "familial obligatory times" that we must fulfill,and really wish we could turn things around, and give the holiday it's due...LIKE being "thankful." Where things get skewed, I will never know! I had to have a long talk with myself (yes, to me) so that I got things into focus, as to what we are all gathered for! I now, don't react to contemptous situations, do n...

OH....OH...thea, you asked for this one! Canada has been "plugged in" for a long, long time...I think since the inception of electrics! So...I am presuming that you are either; #1-pulling my leg....or #2; due to the difference in the European "currentcy" (not $$$$, electricity) that when the appliances are built in China....Japan....????? Wherever...the plugs are not attached, and it is up to t...

Oh, Ambie...thank you for the comment...and the best response...I just ended up with tears in my eyes, again. I do, so, when I think of enlisted, retired and those confined, as I become awashed with memories of their stories! Their gratefulness...when it was I, is I...that must have an attitude of gratitude. Thank you, once again...and please, please take care, I am beginning to think you shoul...

Dear Ambie......none of my family is currently enlisted...but my Father served in World War II! When I lived in Vancouver, I spent many, many Sundays in tune with the Veterans...at the DVA. I had several that I would visit every Sunday, bring them goodies, as I would have shopped for them during the week. But, I know I keep beleaguering this issue, and have commented on it many times when SMOKI...
