I may be a tetch odd.
When I get a new cook book....
I READ IT FROM COVER TO COVER.
Maybe? Please, please? Surely I am not the only one who does this?
One day Bill brought home the first cookbook published by Betty Crocker.
It's been so interesting.
It was published in 1950. I am only a fraction into it...
I'm reading about Quick Breads right now. :)
But I wanted to share a few things from the beginning of the book on
HEALTH and NUTRITION.
HEALTH and NUTRITION.
Did you know?.....
There are
There are
Seven Food Groups!?!
And one of the seven is BUTTER.
For reals!
I don't like margarine but otherwise, I really, really love Food group 7!!!
AND Vitamin D is stressed heavily.
About 6 or 7 years ago I went to see my Dr to get my thyroid checked. I told him I was dragged out and feeling like the zest of life was gone and everything was too much work- whether it was going somewhere, doing something, or making a decision- so my thyroid MUST be slow. When the blood work came back everything was normal.... except my vitamin D levels were quite low! He said that is very strange because he said my skin was tan, so obviously I did spend quite a bit of time in the sun. I told him I don't even wear sunscreen because I detest it! He told me to get a good quality, liquid type of vitamin D from a health food store. Within a few days of taking a supplement...
Boom! I felt great.
Another interesting excerpt from the cookbook...
Especially note the 'adolescents'. Nowadays they are considered obese. The goofy government standards of obesity drive me nuts. I recently went to the Dr and my BMI is 26. That qualifies as "overweight but not quite obese". Ridiculous! I think in defiance I'm going to add more of Food Group 7 to my diet.... :))))))

And speaking of cooking and kitchens,
And feeling NOSTALGIC...
I had saved this picture in my kitchen inspirations because....
I love that hardware! (I love that beautiful grandma too!)
So anyway, I looked at my sink cupboard and decided to give it a whirl.
Before:
After:
Hmmmm.....getting close!
I switched out the handles and tried out these false hinges. (my cabinets are not inset so I can't use real ones) I used Command Strips to temporarily hold everything on while I think about it.
But I think the hinges need to be bigger....
I looked around online and it looks like I might be making a trip to Lowe's soon!
