As humans, we are the only mammals on the planet that consumes milk from another species throughout our lives. Every other mammal ends their consumption of milk after being weaned, but we continue to consume milk and milk-based products through adulthood. We have been told that dairy is a great source of calcium, vitamin D…
We all have those favorite memories of carefree childhood summers and those memories usually include a body of water, a young summer romance (like Danny and Sandy from Grease) and our favorite summer foods. Since this blog is associated with a food delivery service, we’ll avoid discussing summers at the beach or lakeside cabin sharing…
Since these ideas are “unique,” they go above and beyond typical ideas that deal with blankets, food and baskets…well, one idea is basket related…but let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Anyway, since I’m a big fan of the outdoors, picnics scratch me right where I itch. However, I’m not a big fan of…
Subtitle: and get a wee bit tipsy, but not falling-down drunk. And we all know the difference between the two, now don’t we? These are cocktails that refresh AND have the ability to slightly inebriate. Not to worry all you teetotalers and minors out there, I’ve included a few non-alcoholic selections just for you. So,…
“She had her drink in her hand. She had her toes in the sand…” (Van Halen, Beautiful Girls). Yes, the beach beckons and you’re answering the call this summer. However, unlike those care-free boys (Beautiful Girls was released in 1979) from Van Halen, you’re older now and, as a result, you’ve become more safety conscious….
OK, you might not currently be classified as a thin person, but that should, in no way, preclude you from thinking like one. In fact, research has shown that it will assist you in becoming one with a little patience and re-configuring how you think about food, exercise and sleep. Act and think thin now…
Or, The Mediterranean Diet: if you don’t know, you better ask someone. For those of you that need to ask, the Mediterranean Diet has been around since the 1960s and stemmed from some research into why people from that region had lower instances of cardiovascular disease when compared to say, America. The answer, we now…
This just in from Captain Obvious: July is National Grilling Month…and, not surprisingly, National Hot Dog Month (my West Highland terrier agrees, July makes him one hot dog). I usually look for the history behind “national” days and months. However, in this case, no one seems to know the origins of National Grilling Month, just…
Come on, you’ve got a spare 30 minutes (5 minutes to get ready, 20-minute workout and another 5 to cool down) in your day for exercise. Don’t lie to me, and, more importantly, don’t lie to yourself. No one is so busy that they don’t have 30 minutes for exercise five or six days a…
The Fourth, aka Independence Day, is only a few weeks away and if you’re hosting a family and/or friends cook-out or picnic or BBQ or whatever you call your summer get togethers, there’s a lot to do. Let’s make a general “to do” list, shall we? Clean inside the house…yes, people will be outside most…
