This Blog will be undergoing a change to a new Design and new name.
However I'm not sure exactly when,(That's the problem) and it depends on
If I can convince Luigi to stay home one whole day to help me with it.
But If I want to do cool things with my Blog everyday I'm going to have
to learn it myself. Luigi is not going to want to be my little Blog
enhancement robot to be at my beck and call every time I need something
done. He did put the photo up for me. But I would like to be able to
manage that myself so that I can have a gallery of my photos or at least
be able to change the front photo whenever I want to. The new name will
be DianaBanana( I put a copyright on it). If you don't like it, please
let the 'menu planner' know. The last entry has created some talk about
the eating habits of Americans. I saw two women on the golf course which
I passed on my way to Samy's Camera(on Fairfax) Saturday afternoon. Both
of them were, to be on the 'nice ' side, fat. Golf is ok if you're fat
as long as you are into some other more challenging aerobic activities.
"O.K Peach", you are saying, "how fat are YOU?" Well I just looked at
that picture a little closer and it does look like I am a little
'saftig'. Well, first of all, sometimes you photogragh about 10 pounds
heavier then you really are. I guess it's the position I'm in. But I
weigh 129 pounds(usually 127-130 tops) and am a little over 5'7". I
guess I'll have to get another photo. Luigi was getting tired or I would
have put another one of me in front of the U.N. But hey, this is not
meant to be an Ego Blog anyway. The eating habits of Americans are
unhealthy to say the least. It is the lack of discipline and the
worshiping and believing in commercial claims that do them in. For
instance; apparently some people believe that if they eat or drink
something nonfat they will not get obese. Have you ever stopped to
wonder why people order non-fat foam with their Espresso and order along
with it a nice gooey cinnamon Bun? What about a Diet Pepsi with an order
of a Big Mac and Double Fries to go? When you ask for a Small soda, you
actually receive one that looks like a/ Large/. And if you order the
extra large or/Grande/ you can use the empty container to haul away the
contents of your pick-up truck! What is it with the soda? It is probably
one of the most unhealthy drinks out there. I love the carbonated
mineral water they sell at Trader Joe's. It's called /Gerolsteiner/ and
I like it better than Pellegrino. You can add Lemonade or orange Juice
or just about any other Juice and it really tastes, I think, better than
ordinary sodas. I just don't know where I would be without Trader Joe's
. I buy just about all my food there. Hey, for a great Breakfast, try
this. A recipe from a Personal Trainer friend of mine. Separate out 3-4
egg whites, and beat it together with 3 Tblsp. of oatmeal flakes, 1
tblsp. of Buckwheat flour and a dash of cinnamon( add a drop of soy milk
if it is too dry) and heat it on a griddle or frying pan (non-stick is
preferable) with a little Canola Oil, until brown and you have one hell
of a pancake. I love it. Especially when I want to get away from eggs or
the same old cereal. I like it with banana slices or peaches or apple
sauce. Or even a little apricot fruit spread. (I'm getting hungry).
Anyway I think that many people think they have to starve themselves to
not get fat and that simply isn't true. I find it truly amazing that I
walk around most of the day with half a million ideas in my head,
overworking my synapses........not to mention the minutes wasted in the
shower while I carry on a 'Seminar' and entertain ideas for the Blog.
The problem with Blogging is that you have to get to the computer almost
immediately or you lose it! And I can never get there right away.
Yesterday I saw two scary programs on (Discovery Channel, I think) One
was about the pilfering of uranium in Russia and how it finds its way
through many borders and ends up in places like Pakistan and Iraq. The
most frightening part of the program was the realization of who could get
at their hands on materials for Neutron Bombs. The other 'scary' program
was about that guy in Mesa, Az(Bob Stewart?) who was illegally making 50
caliber rifles and selling them out of his garage.(Damn! Pardon my
French but those things can shoot through thick metal and probably blow
your body parts to Kingdom Come from a mile away! Gee,Lord, I only need
a handgun to protect myself; but what if one of those men with 50
Caliber Rifles don't like me!) Then they showed that Militia Group,(that
Timothy McVey supposedly attended) from Michigan. Well It's getting
late......will have to do the 'Gun Control' issue tomorrow. Your Friend,
Peach
