Do you remember a couple years ago there was this big scare about people getting sick from eating spinach? How bizarre is that? I mean, spinach is supposed to be one of the great healthy things for you to eat. So you ate eating spinach and thinking you are so good for doing the right thing, trying to eat healthy and all. And then, Bamm! You get poisoned from the spinach!

When I was a kid we got candy bars as a treat and were allowed to chew gum just about any time we wanted to. There was not the stigma of sugar and tooth decay.
My parents’ only stipulation about gum was that you had to chew with your mouth closed and you had to dispose of it properly. My mom always carried gum in her purse have fresh breath, and I always seemed to have a nickle to spend on a pack of gum when I wanted some.
I loved to chew Dentyne gum, but also tried different ones, like Juicyfruit, Fruit Stripes, Doublemint, and Teaberry. I miss those days.

Sometimes we are sitting in a small group waiting for something or someone and conversation lags. This is a great time to bring up a subject where everyone can contribute. Today, I asked the group, “Name some coffee brands.” Wow – would you believe that the first brand called out was NOT Starbucks? The first one was Maxwell House. I was amazed!

The problem with having the very best hamburgers for sale just down the street from your house is that you no longer want to grill your own. The Backyard Burgers are always delicious and taste as good (or better!) as what I can do at home. So I don’t use my grill as much anymore. I know, sad story!
