Food Storage Basics: Salt - Blog Entry

14 Apr 2006 12:33 AM

A great way to keep salt from clumping is to put just a little bit of uncooked rice into the storage container. The rice absorbs any ambient moisture and keeps your salt fresh and clump free. (I always keep a few grains of white rice in my salt shakers. I haven't had a clump yet.)

I flew a transatlantic (coach) flight with Virgin Airways once and they did this sort of thing for all their passengers. Every seat had its own viewing screen & earphones for movies or video games (complimentary) and every passenger received a complimentary "kit" with slipper socks, a sleep mask, toothbrush & toothpaste, gum and a few other items. As a regular transatlantic traveler, this made a HUGE impression on me and really made my flight much more comfortable than any other I'd taken. I'll have to keep Jetblue in mind when I fly cross-country!

The Importance of Gratitude - Blog Entry

10 Apr 2006 03:37 PM

This is so true! I grew up in an environment where the negative was focused upon. Over the years I've grown and seen the error of that sort of life. Every day when I wake, I think of 3 things I'm grateful for (an easy task) and then when my son wakes up and as I'm dressing him, I tell him about 3 positive things in his life. When he is old enough to understand, I hope to get him in the habit of expressing his grattitude every morning to start each day on the best foot possible. I don't care how you do it - grattitude brings more joy and blessings into your life than stressing ever will!

LOL! A hippo in a tutu! That's me! I got the XBox hooked up and tried DDR this weekend - what a BLAST! I didn't want to stop! I'm doing the Body-for-Life program (see the Weight Loss Blog at: http://weight-loss.families.com/blog/) and this is awesome high-intensity exercise. The only problem is getting yourself to stop!

So funny that I should read this now - My hubby has an XBox, so I bought a dance pad on Ebay (cheap) months ago, expecting to pick up the game and start playing for fun and exercise. Life happens, we moved and we're finally settling in to the new place.

Well, my son is 18 months old now and LOVES dancing, so I ordered the game and YES - another dance pad for my little guy. I can't wait to hook it up and give it a try!

General Conference - The words of Prophets & Apostles - Blog Entry

Funny, I was just talking to a friend about this last night. An amazing resource for Latter-day saints as well as anyone who may be seeking out their own truth is the LDS website at www.LDS.org. I'm not a Mormon, but I love the resources available there and appreciate the fact that I can download mp3s and pdfs there that inevitably bring me closer to God. You may not always have time to read during the day, but an mp3 player can go with you everywhere.
