<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Today is National Popcorn Day and to celebrate I'm making an Asian flavored popcorn. This popcorn is made in a wok, of course, but you can use a large pot if you don't have a wok on hand. It has a light flavors of garlic, ginger and green onion, and is the perfect snack if you are trying to stay healthy this year. If you choose you can add extra oil, and/or butter for more flavor, however it won't be as healthy as it is without it. Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I don’t know about you, but I often have disagreements with family members about how to load the dishwasher. There are many different opinions as whether to rinse the dishes before loading them and how to place them in the rack; as well as how much and what type of soap to use. But the one thing we can all agree on is that we all want super clean, streak free dishes. So I figured I’d share what works for me and see what all of you think.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I definitely rinse my dishes completely before placing them in the dishwasher. I just don’t see how or where the food would go if it is left on a dish. Of course it goes down the drain, but won’t that clog up the pipes? So I definitely rinse them.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The one person who actually disagreed with me first about the dishwasher was my sweet little grandmother. She used to say that the only way the dishes would be clean is if they were washed by hand and soaked in soapy water for 20 minutes. I guess that may be because she never had a dishwasher, and it was very hard explaining to her that the dishes would still be super clean when using one.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Placing the dishes in is quite simple in my opinion. I put the plates vertically in their racks; place the smaller items on the side rack and larger cups and other items underneath.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now the part that some people may differ is the silverware. I put all of my forks and spoons pointing upward, and the knives pointing downward. Now I should use the little designated holes for the knives, but I don’t. My mother in law always points all of her silverware upward, including the knives, which I think is a bit dangerous. Because if I go to empty the dishwasher and I’m really tired I could just see myself slicing off a finger.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’ve used Cascade complete powder now for years and it always makes my dishes come out pretty much spotless. And I fill the soap dispenser right up to the line. Now I have tried other detergents as well as one of those new “pod” things, but nothing else seems to get my dishes as clean.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My other relative who has the same washer had a lot of trouble with residual water being left in the bottom. The repair man said she was using too much soap (she was using the same amount as me at the time) and to try a “pod.” So that seemed to work for her, which was strange since it totally did not work for me as well as my regular Cascade.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So
this is how I load my dishwasher and I’m sticking with this routine,

I'm definitely making my newest creation - You Tiao Treats. You Tiao are fried dough sticks, which I just slice and then place either cheese or ice cream in between three layers of the fried dough. I hope these are a hit this year. Then my other recipes that my friends always ask me to make and tend to "go quick" are the Asian sliders, char siu ribs, and crispy fried wings. So I may make all of these, or just two this weekend.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever wondered, “Why doesn’t this recipe work for
me???” I actually get asked that
question often and unless I can watch you cook the dish, it is sometimes hard
to answer. Though there are 3 main reasons
why a recipe would come out differently for different people.</span></span>

different than that of the recipe creator.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Every brand of oven and/or grill is different, and although
these differences may be slight, it could make a huge difference depending on
what you are cooking. For instance, my
oven cooks at a slightly lower temperature than standard.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And I know that only through trial and error
and from having it for a few years. Your
oven may cook slightly different from the oven that the recipe was created
in. However, this difference can usually
be compensated for by simply checking a dish at certain intervals while it is
cooking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The second reason is that the size and type of pot or pan
you may have is different from what the recipe was first made in.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cooking pots, pans and utensils differ in many ways. The size of a pot or pan makes a huge
difference. For instance if I am frying
pieces of fish in a small pan I will have to cook it in batches compared to the
writer of the recipe who used a large pan and cooked their fish pieces all at
once. Also too many items stir fried in
a smaller wok may create more liquid than if you had a larger wok. So in cooking, size matters.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The brand and what the pan or pot is made of also makes a
difference. For example I use to make
my <a href="https://youtu.be/2vAm-bpNhB4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Soy Sauce Chicken Breasts Recipe</a>
in a smaller version of this Calphalon pot.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This recipe braises the chicken for several hours in the
oven. I use to have to add more liquid
to the pot because it would boil out every hour and a half or so. But then my husband gave me this pot for
my birthday…</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVfpJiAf_aZ30UnTfnrKRAZKKtN24COuRSvzWJwKtCzxvWO__oFZKmqKkXKzYkI-99FEU_UDVn2n6tDEbH9ZH1HuqWX-pRvBEqEp9MZoNXRWpNHvQz_bPoIb0jH9z5PI1pbSeSdPE29Sl_/s1600/DSC00025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVfpJiAf_aZ30UnTfnrKRAZKKtN24COuRSvzWJwKtCzxvWO__oFZKmqKkXKzYkI-99FEU_UDVn2n6tDEbH9ZH1HuqWX-pRvBEqEp9MZoNXRWpNHvQz_bPoIb0jH9z5PI1pbSeSdPE29Sl_/s640/DSC00025.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">and when I used it for this recipe, none of the liquid boiled out and
I found that I could just leave it in the oven for the entire time without ever adding more
liquid. So composition (what it is
made of) of a pot or pan makes a difference as well its size.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now the third and final reason is that the brands of
ingredients are sometimes different. For
instance when I use hoisin sauce I normally use either Koon Chun or Lee Kum
Kee, but since the grocery store here recently didn’t have those brands I had
to get this one.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUdCvhLg9wxBEhVKI-w8jKyB_N9TG8BjiZPf_EqQL7Gr7RYHQQBsULhAew5Bxo81nKDiWdXtJ6FlTZeKWqUE-4Z77AzYHp2L2eCSMvCYR-3rLrEdVE2e6xVWhtwCjlnEM42iw17_JbLi9C/s1600/DSC00116.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUdCvhLg9wxBEhVKI-w8jKyB_N9TG8BjiZPf_EqQL7Gr7RYHQQBsULhAew5Bxo81nKDiWdXtJ6FlTZeKWqUE-4Z77AzYHp2L2eCSMvCYR-3rLrEdVE2e6xVWhtwCjlnEM42iw17_JbLi9C/s400/DSC00116.JPG" width="400" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Each of these has a slight difference in flavor, which I
think most people would be able to detect.
Same thing with chicken broth; I use both Earth Fare organic chicken
broth in a box and Maggies Chicken broth cubes in many of my recipes. But if you used say Swansons chicken broth
box and Wylers chicken bullion cubes, the flavor would be very different. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also, sometimes a recipe is not specific in its
ingredients. So when a Chinese recipe
calls for bean paste and you go to the Asian grocery store and you see this….</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJoF3MMxTNi49zBTSBZSJPeIoDN0gtJ-Nmkw_Oba1FtWrBwDCtGYQScnwTDUca5MPy5QBhfd2Tn9HmdnCvm2_VtYuWAbJNuMnbHwaHuYUiyrrgm3uCItf7Cz7KRyOoKwTAW4Ptdl1Z15AO/s1600/DSC00115.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJoF3MMxTNi49zBTSBZSJPeIoDN0gtJ-Nmkw_Oba1FtWrBwDCtGYQScnwTDUca5MPy5QBhfd2Tn9HmdnCvm2_VtYuWAbJNuMnbHwaHuYUiyrrgm3uCItf7Cz7KRyOoKwTAW4Ptdl1Z15AO/s640/DSC00115.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">You wonder which one you should get. Lately I’ve been trying to be more specific and show the brands of
each of the ingredients I use so that there is no confusion like this.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">
</span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So as you can see, there are actually a lot of variables
when making a recipe. Next time when you are watching a recipe video or reading a recipe try to note as many
specifics as possible. That is what will make the recipe come out just as it does for the cook presenting it.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you’ve watched my new videos you may have noticed that
I’ve switched from using peanut oil for stir frying to olive oil.<span> </span>And I know there are a lot of chefs out there
who are saying “you can’t use olive oil for Chinese stir fries!”<span> </span>BUT I found that it works just as well – and
does not compete with the Asian flavors of the dish.</span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mainly for the health benefits.<span> </span>I’ve used olive oil for many dishes in the
past, but started using it in stir fries about 2 years ago.<span> </span>It began with a chicken fried rice recipe, I
thought I would try the olive oil and fry it on medium – high (because it has a
lower smoking point) and see how it turned out.<span>
</span>It was delicious!<span> </span>And my husband
actually liked it better than the peanut oil, so I started using olive oil for
everything.<span> </span></span></span></div>

</span></span><div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to try using olive oil for frying because it is a
lot healthier than other oils.<span> </span>When it
is heated it produces less cancer causing chemicals than other oils because it has
more mono saturated fat and less polyunsaturated fat. <span> </span>Also, extra virgin olive oil, which is what I
use, has heart health benefits such a lowering bad cholesterol and blood
pressure.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Last Saturday (July 18th) around 2pm I gave Zoey her flea
medication, but unfortunately she ended up having a bad allergic reaction to
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That night I noticed she was acting
strange, she was tired and wanted to lay in her bed (usually she sits on the
couch with us.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then around 10pm she
jumped up and screamed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So at that point
I figured she just had some gas, since she normally screams when she passes gas
(Don’t laugh, a lot of dogs do this!)</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Then Sunday she started screaming and chasing her
tail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now at this point I didn’t think
it was the flea med because she has been on this same product since before I
adopted her and never had any problems.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So I figured something was bothering her tail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I just washed her bottom with her Regular
Shampoo around 2pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>By 9pm she was still
acting weird and then I realized it had to be the flea med.</div>

Now I’ve read TONS of horror stories about this and when
I realized that this was happening to her I was devastated!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I immediately scrubbed her whole back with
DAWN.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why Dawn – because it gets the
flea med, which is grease based, off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

So now it was about 10:30ish and she would not
sleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She ran around, bit my husband’s
hands (just nips) and wanted me to hold and rock her while STANDING.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each time I tried to sit down she would climb
up my neck and run around like she was on crack!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My arms and legs started to give out around 12:30am
and I just prayed and prayed that she would sleep and be okay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then suddenly she fell asleep at
1am.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I laid her in her bed and put it
next to my head on the couch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I watched
her to make sure she was okay until I fell asleep (I’m thinking about 3am or
so.)</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Then my husband is up at 4:30am, so I brought her up to
bed and she was fine, but out of it on Mon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She did scream at her tail a few times, but nothing like Sun, and she
slept through the night on Mon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The vet said
to wash her with Dawn and that she should be fine as long as she was walking
and eating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which for a little while it
seemed as though she had trouble with her back legs, but they were fine by now.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Then suddenly Tuesday night she started screaming again
and wanted me to hold her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>SO I washed
her in Dawn again – now this was the third time I’ve washed her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But that night she would not sleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to stand and rock her and finally
around 2am I was able to sit up with her in my arms and we both fell asleep.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Wed – she didn’t want to get out of bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She always wakes up around 6:30am and scratches
my face.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time she looked at me
until I said the words “Come eat your Breakfast” then (thank goodness) she came
down and ate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But then went straight
back to bed.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The few days after she was still not herself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She wasn’t waking me up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wasn’t happy, or smiling like usual.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And she started doing weird things like lying
on the living room couch, which she never does….</div>

Finally this past Sunday she woke up early and was back
to her happy self – Thank goodness!</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
BUT now what do I do about flea treatment???<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her vet wants me to try Bravecto, but that is
a three month pill that has not been out very long so of course with her
sensitive body I’m very reluctant to try that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My question is – is there any non-poisonous flea treatment??</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I’ve looked this up and found<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<ol>
<li>I could spray her with lemon (which she hates lemon.)</li>
<li>Give her apple cider vinegar everyday, but unfortunately
she has a weak stomach and can’t have this.</li>
<li>Spray her with cedar oil</li>
</ol>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
So I so far have just put a few drops of cedar oil (like
5) in a spray bottle with water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I
spray this on a wipe and wipe her with it, since she hates sprays and I usually
wipe her paws and body anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She seems
to like this.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This lunch can also be served as a simple snack in between meals as well. The cucumbers are meant to be used to "scoop" up the chicken salad (lower left) and they are served along with chunks of cheddar, sliced red bell pepper, and fruit. <a href="http://asiancookingmadeeasy.blogspot.com/2015/02/chicken-salad-bento-healthy-lunch-4.html" target="_blank">Click here for this recipe.</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Grilled chicken on lettuce with celery, carrots, crackers and a side of pasta salad is the perfect healthy lunch. The lower left section holds a few crackers to be crumbled over the salad as well as a to go container of salad dressing. If you're eating this meal at home you can add a few chunks of cheese in place of the dressing. <a href="http://asiancookingmadeeasy.blogspot.com/2015/03/healthy-lunch-5.html" target="_blank">Click here for this recipe.</a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> On the news the other day they were having a discussion
about the color of the plate that food was served on. Apparently when food was served on a red
plate people felt like it was less appealing than food that was served on a
white plate. This may be due to the fact
that the color red subconsciously signifies danger in our minds.

add more cayenne pepper if you love your chili spicy. I usually just add a pinch while I’m making
it since some family members can’t eat it too spicy, and then put more in
my individual bowl once it is served.</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Chicken lettuce wraps are on almost every Chinese restaurant menu, and are one of my favorite recipes. Seasoned ground chicken stir fried with chopped mushrooms and water chestnuts is served alongside crisp lettuce leaves. To eat, simply place some of the chicken mixture in the center of a lettuce leaf and wrap it up as you would a burrito. These are fun to eat and very easy to make; and can be served as either an appetizer or as a meal in itself.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When I was little my "nai nai" (Chinese grandmother) used to always make this delicious dish. The sauce was so flavorful and delicious; and the shrimp were always perfectly cooked in their shells and soaked up the amazing flavor of the sauce. The shells are left on the shrimp so that the shrimp soak up the sauce
and you have a lot of flavor in your mouth while sucking to remove the
shells. These shells should be removed completely with your mouth and then spit into a separate dish or on the side of your plate. This is similar to sunflower seeds that have the salty shell
on them.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is a funny story about how I learned how to cook this dish. I have always had a difficult time removing the shells while the shrimp were in my mouth; and at one family gathering where I had invited my boyfriend, my nai nai made this dish. My boyfriend and I went to eat the shrimp and started removing the shells with our fingers. One of my older relatives looked at us from across the table and said "he eats the dirty American way." As you can imagine this made us both feel absolutely horrible! Needless to say I never ate at a table with that relative again, but it also made me want to learn how to make this dish so I could practice eating it. So I watched my grandmother and started making it myself. It now has become one of my favorite dishes :)</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">For more great recipes and video tutorials visit http://www.youtube.com/user/AsianCookingmadeEasy?feature=mhum</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14984093337080501175noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7887988075567956361.post-21502809569348139192015-05-27T18:00:00.000-04:002015-05-27T18:00:00.649-04:00Do you look like your dog??<div class="MsoNormal">

shows – the Hoda and Kathy Lee show – and they had a segment on where they
asked if you look like your dog.<span> </span>I
thought this was hilarious because my husband keeps telling me that Zoey – my dog-
and I are starting to look more and more alike.<span>
</span>So I’ve taken several photos over the last few years and when I look
back I realize that he is right – we are looking more and more alike.<span> The first two pics are older and the last one is recent. </span></span></span></div>

So today I just wanted to share how I keep myself from eating snacks that are not so healthy.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">For many of us it's very easy to grab a bag of chips or a cookie when you are on the go and want something quick. So I've come up with the perfect plan. Have fruits and vegetables already washed and ready to eat in the refrigerator. Here I have some strawberries, celery sticks, baby carrots, and sliced cucumber. These healthy snacks are all ready to be grabbed when I'm on the go.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbynb9-RtC5ryVnFz8E9MS1mZxLd69ynfKS7kF_aBB8onDV9rF09_IRnXJmfMktiPgs5UvCaVeUkctNMCL7z_9KoYw4aRnAyRGu7QcvfS73Amv5y5UNWcNDdbbOxse3B3sX3IwnLALsNS1/s1600/DSC09991.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbynb9-RtC5ryVnFz8E9MS1mZxLd69ynfKS7kF_aBB8onDV9rF09_IRnXJmfMktiPgs5UvCaVeUkctNMCL7z_9KoYw4aRnAyRGu7QcvfS73Amv5y5UNWcNDdbbOxse3B3sX3IwnLALsNS1/s640/DSC09991.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On Sunday's I try to purchase a few fruits and vegetables. Then I wash them and cut them and place them in small bowls so they are ready for eating. This forces me to eat these snacks over pre packaged snack because I know if I don't these will go bad fairly quickly and I usually eat these by Wednesday. Then I cut up more Thursday morning. This is a great trick and has forced me to choose healthy snacking over eating junk food :)</span></span><br />

on the other hand believe that char on food is a cancer causing agent
and try not to eat it very often. But not only is
burnt char unhealthy, in my opinion, it also creates a mess. It flakes
off onto clean floors and gets ground into rugs and family members
socks. So I am definitely not a fan of burnt food from the grill.</span></span></div>
