Remember when you were a kid and...

Well, if you ate a lot of chocolate you probably remember when a little better than others!

Yeah - but.................

I saw Dr Besser talking about this on GMA this morning. You would have to eat so much of it everyday, that you would get miserably sick from it, and sick and tired of it. I don't remember the exact figure he said - but it was 20 or 30 something bars of dark chocolate every day. I'll pass on that and have my memory fail little by little. Better than obesity or diabetes and a whole lot of other issues, and I'm really not much of a chocoholic anyway. For me - a little goes a long way!

T'was merely intended as a joke. The studied compounds are more prevalent in other foods, like wine. No way in heck I'm eating that much parsley, which is another source of the compounds.

DUH !!!!! Of course I knew you were joking. But it was interesting anyway and strange that I saw it talked about on t.v. just this a.m.

Years ago, my gastroenterologist said if I was to drink wine - that red wine is good for what ails the gutt. Of course I don't even like a true red wine...............it's white for me.

I'm drinking iced tea because it's 72 degrees outside - I think this might be the end of the stretch of warm days. When I was little, nice fall weather after the first frost was known as Indian summer, but I think that term may have gone by the wayside. We are supposed to be back to highs in the upper 50s by the end of the week.

Absolutely not - it is still very much in use - and a lot of times it's misused. You can't have IS until after the first frost, tho a lot of folks refer to mild days after a stretch of cool ones, as IS. Nope that's not IS. We had our first light frost last week - frost on the roof of the house, and car windows had to be scraped, but none on the grass. Don't know if that counts or not. Tomorrow we could see the high 70's, but later on in the week, the big chill returns - high not even making it to 50. Now that's more like it! Love the cool, crisp days.

Coffee to go with those fish heads anyone?
