BAM-NEW MONTH!

Good Morning Foodies!

Well here we are! Thrown into the two last months of the year that are full of HOLIDAY EVENTS! Are you ready? I know we all try to lose a few pounds before we begin to graze around the festive holiday tables. I found this article from this doctor about WEIGHT LOSS! I like his theory! See what you think!
Love this Doctor

Q: Doctor, I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it… don’t waste them on exercise.
Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer;
that’s like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster.
Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn.
And what are these? Vegetables. So, a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system.
Need grain? Eat chicken.
Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable).
And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine,
that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more
of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one.
If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can’t think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain…Good!
Q: Aren’t fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU’RE NOT LISTENING!!! …..Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil.
In fact, they’re permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger.
You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO! Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!!
It’s the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! ‘Round’ is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:
‘Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways – Chardonnay in one hand – chocolate in the other -body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘WOO-HOO, What a Ride’

AND…..

For those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word on nutrition and health.
It’s a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats
and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like.
Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
So, there you GEAUX!

Well, here we are in the month of NOVEMBER already! Time to put away all the HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS and bring out any GOBBLE-GOBBLE DECORATIONS! We CATHOLICS, first have to pay our respects to ALL SAINTS DAY! We all try to achieve that goal of being a SAINT, I think! Anyway, gotta keep trying to better ourselves. ALSO, IF YOU HAVE SOME DEAR DEPARTED SOULS—GO VISIT THEM-ALL SAINTS AND SOULS DAY!! YOU CAN ALWAYS TALK TO THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE THE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO LISTENING!

DON’T FORGET THIS WEEKEND THE TIME CHANGES! WE FALL BACK! GET ANOTHER HOUR OF WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE!
BIG LSU/BAMA GAME AND SAINTS MEETING THOSE UNDEFEATED LA RAMS THIS WEEKEND! GOING TO DRIVE ME CRAZY, I THINK!

As most of you know, I usually host 5 couples from out of state for the LSU/BAMA game. Because of my lack of mobility from the foot surgery, I opted not to have it this year. Good news, one of the out of state couples invited the gang to their home for the big LSU/BAMA GAME! Nice break for me! Therefore, KITCHEN WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5TH—NEED RECOVERY TIME FROM THIS BIG WEEKEND! ALSO HAVE ELECTIONS NEXT WEEK! TOLD YOU BUSY TIME OF THE YEAR!
Have a safe and productive weekend!
