  It’s Pre-Turkey day!! All I have left to get are slivered almonds and a small aluminum-roasting pan. That’s pretty good for me! Cindy took Jackson to the halfway point to Albany where he’ll meet his grandfather and spend Thanksgiving. Tomorrow, she’ll come over and we’ll have a girlie turkey day! I think we’ll be cooking everything at my place, but since we’re basically cooking for 3, there’s not a whole lot to do.
I read about this root from Peru that I see all the time at the grocery & produce stores in my neighborhood. It’s called yacon and it’s a root that scientists say is “good for the gut, potentially safeguards against cancer, helps absorption of calcium and vitamins and can lessen the blood sugar peaks from eating sweet food that are a problem for diabetics.
Though packed with sugar, its principal appeal to the health conscious lies in the fact that the sugar in question is mainly oligofructose, which cannot be absorbed by the body.” (courtesy MSNBC.com) Last night, I was surfing the web and came across this link to an anti-rape patent. I’d seen it before, but now that I have an outlet for sharing crazy things with others, here ya go: http://www.levins.com/asm-7.html urlLink
