When I was a kid...

All pools weren't concrete and plaster.

I grew up with blowups, metal walled and dough boys, and the game was
to "Blow the water out of the pool", as much as possible, the more the
better.

We did "cannon balls', "watermelons", even the "Pittsburgh plunge" and
an occasional "wagon wheel whip"...and the winner was the one who got
the most people standing around...wet.

Well, time moves on, and I bet this weekend, we can all do what we do best, with our family and friends.

Will it be our mad cooking skills, unparalleled guitar hero genius,
world class card shark abilities, or just our inherent talent of
attempting to hit a golf ball.

Whatever it is, let's plan on getting some folks wet.

Cooking healthy?

Sure, we can all do it.

Sometimes we equate eating or cooking healthy with poor, or no taste,
but it doesn't have to be that way.

We all know what tastes good to us, and many of us eat too much of what
tastes good and is not too healthy for us.

We can change that by simply putting good foods together for our meals
and just "doctoring" it up, with spices or condiments that match our
taste buds.

That way, we can create meals that tastes good and the way we want it,
but have the main ingredients that are good for us.

Do things keep going around...

And around in your head, concerning the things you have to do?

Does for me, and there it is...in the middle of the night, when I wake up, and even throughout the day.

Used to bug me, as I wasn't always in the present, which is my goal.

But what I finally realized is, that I was thinking on how to best do,
what I had to do...and it was just "cooking" and the reason I hadn't
done it is because it wasn't done "cooking".

But when it was done...it got "plated" and put on the table with ease.

So embrace the thoughts that keep swirling in your head, it's OK...you
don't want to "plate" it until it's done...ever ate undercooked chicken?
