How many times a week or month do you receive a cookbook offer in the mail? I swear at times it seems like there's one in my mailbox every other day.
I really wish the distributors would stop sending me their envelopes full of enticing pictures of foods that I have no business eating. And I really, REALLY wish some of them would stop including a letter telling me how I can eat my way to a diabetes free life. I'm tempted to mail those back along with a letter telling them how full of crap they are. I haven't done that, yet, but I wouldn't put it past me.
Simply put: I Do Not Want Your Cookbook!

From deep in the throes of pre-Passover cleaning and shopping, old questions are renewed and new ones added to the litany.
As part of the seder (ritual Passover dinner), a child makes four observations, called Ma Nishtanah, starting with the question, "Why is this night different from any other night of the year?" He goes on to ask about the foods and rituals of the seder, leading the group into the maggid, or story, of the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt.
My questions may be more secular in nature, and may change from year to year, but they are no less perplexing to someone who was not brought up in a Kosher home, and whose sympathies lie with those of us whose lifestyles are dictated -- at least to a certain degree -- by our personal health.

That’s right. I don’t like to cook. Baking, yes. Well, mostly. I often have grand ideas about, say, baking gadzoodles of Christmas cookies, and after the second round of sugar cookies I’ve thrown in the towel.
It took me a long time to figure this out, actually. I like to look at cookbooks and think about how good certain dishes would be for dinner. And then I put those ingredients on the grocery list and actually buy them, but then when it comes around to actually cooking? I’m so not in the mood.

Hey y'all. Guess y'all heard the news. I'm sorta busted up. Turns out we picked up a nasty case of the diabeetus. I just wanted to reach out to all my fans out there and give an update on my current medical status. Well, it's a slow go y'all, but I'm on my meds and feeling much better.
The way I understand it, y'all is this - Paula's body is hollerin' for some insulin but there's like a giant wall of gunk standing betwixt me and that signal. I'm just not gettin' that message, y'all. This is just a theory of mine but I think it's related to an intrinsic membrane glycoprotein and serine exopeptidase that cleaves X-proline dipeptides from the N-terminus of polypeptides. Y'all.

My sister got a call from the hospital at which Mom has been recovering after valve replacement surgery. After a couple of days of perfect sinus rhythm, her care team suddenly wanted consent to insert a permanent "on demand" pacemaker. The issue was a single episode of about eight seconds of no heartbeat. While the idea of a pacemaker had been broached before, it was earlier in Mom's recovery. Since then, as far as we all could tell, things had quieted back down to "normal".
