Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
This holiday season, my daughters want to have a fun Greek Night ! No, this is not the kind where people wear togas. It is a time when we prepare some wonderful food and reflect on recent activities.
The names may be unfamiliar, but the taste will speak of home!

My daughter Karla knows I am very fond of the milk our dairy folk produce in California and she drew the lovely drawing of me milking a cow the old fashioned way. Part of my fondness is that there really is a difference in taste, even the non-fat milk tastes richer and thicker!
This holiday season, I am looking forward to making my version of George Washington’s Eggnog with real California Heavy Cream!
Boys and Girls, I am now going to tell you a story much like Chef Gordon Ramsay might do… but without the required expletives. Steaks do not come a steak tree, turkeys are not grown without heads and virtually everything that we prefer to eat once roamed, flew or swam somewhere. Oh yes, they may have also slithered or slimed there way along.
The article I wrote for a local on-line news service is on the joy of hunting for a great meal and how it can go from the wild to your dinning table. Although I am a hunter, I never thought I would have the opportunity to go on a Safari for really large game… but thanks to well timed events… here I go!
Let me start off and say… this is not your typical ‘diet book’. There are no lectures, no plans, no pep talks. There is nothing you have to do but read it!
Reading this book will inspire you to maybe take that first step into losing a few pounds or a ton. You will read about many many people that have lost weight and what they thought about the process. You will meet folks like Laura and me and our family using a portioned control plan by Jenny Craig to many others who have been successful using Atkins and other systems. Some folks will tell you about their surgical solution. It’s all there!
Good Luck!
Outside of the initial set up of purchasing a cage, toys , food and paper, adding a pet Parakeet or two to your home is a rather inexpensive project. The maintenance is much less than many pets, but the return is well worth it.
Laura had grown up with birds and it seemed to me in our animal menagerie that a bird was way to far down on the food chain to be safe in our environment! Today, is a different matter and I set up the cage and Laura chose who she would like to have in the home. Laura likes to find birds with spunk… and these two are a handful!
So, after 40 years it is nice that I can still do something to make my spouse smile like a child in wonder.
