That’s right. My wonderful wife Jenn made some Indian style Vegatble Curry
from a recipe found in a Southern Style magazine. Last time I was in the
South, people thought I was talking about Native American Indians when I
mentioned Indians. This wasn’t flatbread and we didn’t smoke a peace pipe
afterwards. It was some good home cooked Indian food for the first time in
the Lombardi House.
If you want the recipe, let us know. It was low fat, easy to make and
didn’t require any strange vegetables. Just some strange spices. And black

An initiative is likely to go before voters, taxing the affluent so that all kids can get a chance to go to preschool. With companies outsourcing and jobs going overseas, our students are going to compete in a world market against very aggressive foreign students. It’s even more important that every child has a good start in preschool. I say vote yes when this comes before voters.
I just started reading a book called Fit Kids. It has a wealth of good information and advice on choosing the right foods for your kids. Fortunately, the correct food choices for kids are also good for adults! This is actually very motivating for me because I’m actually more motivated to make good food choices for my son Matthew than I am for myself. But the ironic thing is, I’m actually the one who needs the better food choices now. (I’m on Vytorin to help lower my cholesterol).
Anyways, it mentions that sugar and salty foods actually have a stimulating effect on our appetite and trick our body into wanting more. No kidding! 
Recommendations: Eat “Real Foods”. The book points for us to eat real fruit, vegetables and whole grain foods. The fiber in real foods helps us have a healthy appetite. Our bodies will recognize that it’s satisfied.
There’s more and more good information in this book. I recommend it to anyone. I’ll post more helpful information as we read more. Please add any of your tidbits of healthy wisdom.
