Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings. DO YOU KNOW.. the difference between margarine and butter? Read on to the end... gets very interesting! Both have the same amount of calories. Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams. Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study. Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods. Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added! Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods. Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years. And now, for Margarine...Very high in trans fatty acids. Triple risk of coronary heart disease. Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold. Lowers quality of breast milk. Decreases immune response. Decreases insulin response. And here's the most disturbing fact... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING! This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance). You can try this yourself: Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things: *no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something) *it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

A woman posts an ad in the news paper that looks like this... Looking for man with these qualifications: - won't beat me up - won't run away from - is great in bed.  She got lots of phone calls replying to her ad but met someone perfect at her door one day. The man she met said, "Hi, I'm Bob. I have no arms so I won't beat you up and no legs so I won't run away."  So the lady says, "What makes you think you are great in bed?" Bob replies, "I rang the door bell didn't I?"

Two blonds are walking down the street one evening. One stops and looks up to the sky. She asks her blond friend, "Which do you think is farther away, the moon or Ireland?"  Her blond friend looks at her and says, "Well duh....can you see Ireland from here?"

Not much to do today.  Hubby and I were playing poker earlier and believe it or not, I finally won over him.  Hehehhe, I don't usually win against him but not this time.  After we played, hubby order pizza for our dinner since I'm too tired to cook.  I told him to add chicken wings and garlic bread.  We both so full and can't eat anymore of our dessert.

It's pretty cold outside.  I heard from hubby that it's below freezing outside.  That's a bummer, I really wanna go out and walk at the park.  Since it's cold, I just stay home and keep my self busy.  Our daughter was sleeping so soundly at her room.  So, I still have time to watch a movie.  I told hubby to find a good movies to watch later but he couldn't find any good one.  Well, it's almost dinner here, I guess I need to go and prepare our food for tonight.

I'm so glad that I don't forgot to thawed the meat for our dinner tonight.  I'm planning to cook grill pork chop with cranberry sauce on it.  Hopefully hubby will like it.  After I thawed the meat out, I was planning to watch a movie but our daughter woke up from her nap.  I can't watch any if she's awake because she wants to watch her favorite tiger and pooh.

I got this recipe from my in-laws.  It would be nice to share it here coz it's really good and tasty.  Hope you like this one, it's called Clam Chowder.  Here's what you need: 1/2 cup minced onion, 1/2 cup diced celery, 4 teaspoon of butter, 1 sliced bacon; crumbled, 1 pint 1/2 & 1/2, 1 cream of potato soup undiluted, 1 cream of celery soup undiluted, 2 cans clams; drained.  Saute onion and celery in butter and small amount of bacon grease.  Stir in soups and clams.  Gradually add the 1/2 and 1/2.  Stir ti smooth then add bacon.  To increase amount of soup just add clam chowder and 1 can of milk.  It's pretty easy to make and I hope you like it.

It was nice today, so I went out for a walk with hubby and our daughter.  We had so much fun and decided to grab some pizza for our dinner.  We both had pepperoni and cold Pepsi.  We stop at the store and bought milk for us.  We drink a lot of milk, especially hubby.  He drink three glasses of milk everyday plus our daughter.  But anyway, I'm so tired and going to bed here soon.

 

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried  it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped  through it several time a day?

What if we turned  back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it  to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated  it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something  to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing.

Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being

disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

Makes you stop and think 'Where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!

P.S. DO WHAT YOU THINK GOD WOULD WANT YOU TO DO WITH THIS EMAIL

Have a blessed and wonderful day!

 

Knock, Knock I knocked at heaven's door this morning.

God asked me...'My child, what can I do for you?'

And I said, 'Father, please protect and bless the person reading this message.'

God smiled and said...'Request granted'.

Just woke up and eating my favorite honey oats cereal with my decaf coffee.  After I'm done eating, I will feed our daughter and hopefully she will have a nap after this.  She woke up early this morning and hubby was watching her.  I was to tired and slept good last night.  I don't have any plan today except cleaning the house and maybe if it's not cold, I can take a walk.
