We still haven’t recovered our normal pace of life with the winding down of the syrup season so this will be short and sweet. Rather, free of refined sugar. Hopefully next week things will slow down and I will sit down to do more writing.
In the meant time, to keep the adrenaline coursing through my veins, I ordered the book I’ve heard so much about over the years called Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats.
I started reading at the beginning and by page 4 had said “What???”, “No! Not funny!” and, I’ll be blunt, “Holy Shit!” enough times that my husband started to think I was having a mental episode. I’m not prone to this type of episode. Nor am I prone to using profanity without an accompanying profusion of fresh blood.
Like I said, this will be brief. Here are my recommendations so far:
- Do you eat margarine? Stop. It’s disgusting and bad for you.
- Buy the book: Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats or at least get it from the library and judge for yourself.
