Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm familiar with that stressor! The one good thing about the abrupt end of the baseball season is that Matilda is catching up with her ceramics.
A whole cohort of Buffista babies are nearing the end of high school!
It's ten days to the Memorial and I have many little tasks to address yet.
New research shows that even a little bit of olive oil a day has a huge benefit in reducing the risk of dementia: [link]
This post brought to you by the broccoli I just made in the microwave with olive oil, salt and Spanish Paprika, topped with parm. Also reheated some chicken thighs with it.
Lean protein and green cruciferous vegetables, now with a spoonful of olive oil.
I'm going to live forever!
I'll probably need some apple cider vinegar, live culture probiotic yogurt, ginger, garlic, local honey and turmeric though.
What's the one health-foodie thing you eat/consume that you really believe in?
Kale. Ideally sautéed or braised with olive oil and garlic salt. If I go more than a few days without I feel sluggish and gross. Broccoli or spinach can fill the same niche but sometimes now I really crave the texture of kale. Used to be a huge fan of home brewed kombucha (green tea and turbinado sugar) but had to call quits on that when the acid reflux got bad.
What's the one health-foodie thing you eat/consume that you really believe in?
I think doing 4 years of Food Grad School burned me out of believing in health-foodie things. Other than really boring ones like Everyone's Diet Could Probably Use More Fiber.
I changed my haircolor this morning and have learned, yet again, the humbling lesson of Pastels Are Really Difficult, Jess. I don't *hate* the weird pinkish shade I ended up with, but damnit, I wanted lavender.

I roasted broccoli the other night and I usually put garlic on it, but next time I make it, I'm going to try smoked paprika instead of garlic.

Fiber is god. [edit] I posted that before I read Jess's post. #TeamFiber
I eat yogurt every day and I have much less reflux. If I finish the cups more often, I feel like my digestion is better, but sometimes in the moment, I ate too many other things. Water with lemon makes water better, but I found out later, it's also really healthy and immune-boosting
What's the one health-foodie thing you eat/consume that you really believe in?
The various mushrooms that have been found to help bolster immunity and cognition. I can tell when I've missed a few days of my supplements. Which are in the form of powder added to dark cocoa powder and undetectable when I make it into hot cocoa.
Sooooo Dad is back in the hospital because his hematocrit was low and he was literally a quart low on blood. On the plus side, he texted me as soon as he was admitted, so he's learning to communicate. On the minus side, he's been having this low on blood/bad hematocrit issue for MONTHS, and the doctors still can't figure out where the internal bleeding is happening.
I am not coping.
As you know, I am here as needed. But glad he told you!
I hope they figure out the blood thing, Atropa. That's alarming!
