FIRST DOSE
There are always two ways
to look at everything, I
guess. My wife and I were
sitting at a table at my
high school reunion last
October, and I kept staring
at a drunken lady swigging
her drink as she
sat alone at a nearby
table. My wife noticed me
staring and asked me, "Do
you know her?".

"Yes",
I sighed, "She's my old
girlfriend. I understand she
took to drinking right after
we split up those  
many years ago, and I
hear she hasn't been sober
since." "My God!" says my
wife, "Who would
think a person could go on
celebrating that long?"

THE BEST MEDICINE-
LAUGH!

SECOND DOSE
Last night, my friend and I
were sitting in the living
room and
I said to her, "I never want
to live in a vegetative
state, dependent on
some machine and fluids
from a bottle. If that ever
happens, just pull the
plug."


She got up, unplugged the
TV, and threw out my wine

DIET AND FITNESS:

Quinoa--The New Super Grain

February 27, 2008

By Susan M. Callahan, Associate Editor and Featured

What if I told you that there is a grain which is high is
protein, high in fiber and low in calories?  Well, there is. Meet
"quinoa",  the new "superfood" that may come to rival soy
as the favorite of healthy eaters around the world.

Quinoa is a natural grain like corn and rice. It is grown in
South American primarily and has been around for over
5000 years.

"Quinoa is a true wonder food," says Daniel Fairbanks, Ph.D.,
a professor of plant and animal science at Brigham Young
University. "It has about twice the protein of regular cereal
grains, fewer carbohydrates, and even a dose of healthy
fats." Plus, it's considered a "complete" protein, which
means that, like meat, eggs, and dairy, it packs all of the
essential amino acids your body needs to build muscle".























Where do you find it? Edenfoods.com is one source. But
we're beting that, as the word spreads about quinoa, that
many of the chains will pick it up.
