As you are getting ready for work or school today, please don't forget your RED!!! Today is WEAR RED DAY, to help get the word out that Heart Disease is still the number one killer of women, but that we can do something about it! This year on Wear Red Day, the American Heart Association is hosting a casting call offering any woman in central Ohio the opportunity to become the next National Go Red Woman. You can find more information about that at Sunny95.com. Be sure to check it out.
Sadly, heart disease claims the lives of one in three women almost one death per minute. The exciting news is that nearly 80 percent of cardiac events in women can be prevented, if the right choices are made. That means eating right, being active and not smoking. So put on your RED...guys you can do this in honor of a woman in your life too...and get more heart healthy information from Ohio Health and The American Heart Association at Sunny95.com.
Hearts just naturally seem to be on everyone's mind in the month of February....so ladies, why not make your OWN heart a priority this month?
Unfortunately, Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year. This means women just like you mothers, sisters, friends are dying at the rate of one per minute because they simply don't know: heart disease kills.
The American Heart Association is encouraging everyone...guys, even you!!!... to wear red this Friday, February 3rd, to support Wear Red Day and increase awareness of heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women.
By wearing red you are speaking up in support of the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement and making a visible statement for those who surround you. So join me tomorrow...and wear your Red for yourself, or that women in your life!!!!

About one-million packets of birth control pills are being recalled by Pfizer because they might not have enough contraceptive to halt pregnancy. So, get ready for a baby boom people because I'm sure there are lot of people who are already in the swing of Pfizer's MAYBE BABY pills.
Truth be told, in respects to contraceptives, nothing is a sure thing but it does make one nervous when what you thought you were taking turns out to be less than effective. Pfizer is now urging use of a "non-hormonal contraception immediately" a nice way of the company to say "get them horses coralled on your own" because "our dogs ain't watching the fence."
What's next? Viagra doesn't work? The company is now "urging you to just think positive." ALEVE is no long an effective painkiller? The company is now "urging you take comfort simply in the name of our product." 5 Hour Energy Shots don't last 5 hours? The company is now "urging those who enjoy "fitful" naps to continue to purchase the product.
Bottom line? We live in a world where confidence in our consumer choices is not the slam-dunk of generations past, be it medications, appliances, or cars. So, plan on getting another vehicle in 4 years, replacing that stove in five (years), and make room for that baby that mght be coming. The contract on that last one is minimum of 18 years with an option to add individual years after they turn 30 and tell you they have to move back home.
Leftovers. Love 'em. But what makes them so appetizing? And if they're so good then why don't we just make stuff and save it for the next day?
I made a sweet and spicy spaghetti sauce over the weekend and while I enjoyed preparing it every step of the way( because when I make sauce there's Pavarotti playing and large glasses of wine being consumed) and was pleased with the outcome, that sauce was even better the next night.
Part of it I feel is psychological. If you made something good and there are leftovers, the sheer anticipation that the joy of that meal hasn't completely disappeared is appealing all on its own, and if we're being completely honest, some stuff is just "better" the next day.
Maybe its the ingredients that have a had a chance to further work together in some sort of culinary magic. Or maybe there are refrigerator gnomes that "go to work" once you've put "whatever" into the frig. And if there are refrigerator gnomes, are they in the crisper or on the side panel wth the condiments? But I digress.
Lasagna comes to mind as an excellent leftover. As does meatloaf. But why cold fried chicken? And how many times have you dumped the cold bowl of cereal for breakfast in favor of the cold, not completely eaten pizza from the night before? We can't wait to bite into either one of these items when they're piping-tongue-burning hot, and yet we still salivate over them stone cold the very next day.
I will say this. There is a leftover window. One or two days max and then its gotta go. Those gnomes are good, but hey- they gotta move on.
Knuckle crackers (yeah, I'm one of them) can relax. Mom was wrong! Cracking your knuckles will NOT cause arthritis later in life. Medical science has proven the somewhat annoying habit is merely a way to release nervous energy much like biting your nails or snapping gum.
Doctors do agree however that excessive cracking can weaken the joints making you prone to finger injuries later in life. Now, what is true...
Step on a crack you'll break your mothers back. Happened to my cousin in Pittsburgh. And rumor has it he did it on purpose. They have issues on that side of the family.
Make a stupid face and it'll freeze that way. Someday I'll share a before and after picture of my half-brother. Works the carny circuit now.
Swallow watermelon seeds and a melon will grow in your stomach. Before my sister gave birth to her first child we welcomed a 7 pound watermelon into the family. Sadly, "Wally" never made it to his first birthday. My sister delivered on July the 3rd and we had a bbq the next day and...well, y'know.
But as far as knucle cracking goes- have at it. Crack away!
All of them. But (and it should be no surprise to anyone who knows me) I'm old school when it comes to that type of thing. In a recent survey from AskMen.com here's what some of the men had to say.
42% said they would pick up the majority of them "until the relationship is established." Ok, but I STILL pick up the majority of them. However, when she insists on picking up a tab, I'll go along with it. The gesture is appreciated.
16% said "no more than the woman does." You don't go out a lot do you, fella?
1% said NONE. "The woman should pay for all of them." You, my friend still live in your parent's basement and probably complain when your mom doesn't get you the right kind of chicken tenders for dinner.
17% said "all of them." As I stated earlier, thats pretty much where I stand on it, but I realize I come from a different time. I pick up the tab. I hold the door open and whenever possible I'll open a car door. If I'm really on my game, I'll stand up when a lady returns to the table (though that one does get by me more often than not). I won't order for her (I think that's a bit archaic and cocky) but I will wait for her to order first.
None of the above is a power move or manipulation of any kind. It's simply what I was taught to do. And the only thing I'm "expecting" is a nice evening and hopefully a good meal. You wanna leave the tip? Eh. We'll see...
The official word was complications of lung cancer. But lets be honest. Those complications were the result of a broken heart.
Joe Paterno was 85. He was fired in the wake of a sex abuse scandal. The winningest coach in college football history. He once said that he would keep coaching as long as possible when Coach Bear Bryant died of a heart attack 28 days after his retirement. "What else would I do?" he said. I don't want to die. Football keeps me alive."
And when it was taken away from him the decline was rapid. He gets fired. He gets cancer. He breaks a hip. He dies. Take away a person's reason for living and what choice remains?
Paterno agonized over "not doing enough" in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sex scandal. He probably would've stepped down at the end of the season, but college politics and public outrage left no choice but to dismiss him. Not the way a legend wants to leave a job he loved and a university he cherished. And then came the heartbreak.
There are actual medical studies that sustain the theory of a broken heart being able to cause the demise of an individual. In some cases its the loss of a spouse, or a child and in Paterno's case it was the loss of a job and a university and a community of people that he made a life-long committment to.
Who knows how long the cancer may have been there, but when it found the body of it's host vulnerable and depleted of spirit, it moved in quickly. Hell, Joe may have even said "your turn, I'm done." Ultimately, his legend will exceed the scandal that punctuated the end of his career and here's hoping that he's remembered for what he WAS rather than what he regrettably at the end WAS not...perfect.
Hi Stacy! Mexican cuisine is a favorite at our house. It's also a favorite theme for dinner parties and get togethers such as the Super Bowl because it's inexpensive and easy to make. One of our all time favorite recipes using Tostitos is a home style version of Mexican fried ice cream. Here's my recipe:
MEXICAN FRIED ICE CREAM
1 BAG TOSTITOS RESTAURANT STYLE CHIPS
1/2 GALLON VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM
1 TABLESPPON CINNAMON
2 TABLESPOONS SUGAR
HONEY FOR DRIZZLING (YOU CAN USE CHOCOLATE SYRUP IF YOU PREFER)
WHIPPED CREAM FOR TOPPING
CHERRIES (WITH STEM) FOR TOPPING
PRE-HEAT OVEN TO 400. SPRAY COOKIE SHEET WITH COOKING SPRAY. LAYER ON TOSTITOS. SPRINKLE EVENLY WITH CINNAMON AND SUGAR. BAKE FOR 10 MINUTES. PLACE ONE SCOOP OF ICE CREAM IN A DESERT DISH. PLACE CHIPS AROUND THE EDGE OF THE BOWL. DRIZZLE WITH HONEY, ADD WHIPPED CREAM, AND PLACE THE CHERRY ON TOP. (NOTE: IF YOU LIKE, SOAK THE CHERRIES OVERNIGHT IN TEQUILA (or your favorite liquor)-THIS ADD'S A LITTLE KICK TO THIS OTHERWISE FAMILY FRIENDLY RECIPE).
