Bits and Pieces – April 10, 2005

Bits and Pieces are random thoughts that don’t necessitate their own entry, but nevertheless I want to record them somewhere. Consider them Sallie’s smorgasbord.

David’s new favorite ice cream is Breyer’s Heath. (Sallie likes it too but her favorite remains unchanged: Ben and Jerry’s New York Super Fudge Chunk.)

My orthopedic specialist told me that Curves (the women’s workout place) has been great for his business. He said some of the machines are very hard on the back, especially for women who aren’t in shape when they start going. (BTW…isn’t that the point of going?)

As part of my recovery the past few weeks, I watched a lot of episodes of The Cosby Show. (I do believe the studies that say that laughter speeds recovery!) It reminded me of why it was so wildly popular when it was on prime time. It was so popular, I remember that Campus Crusade for Christ at MSU changed their meeting night from Thursday to another night for a few years because it hindered outreach so much. Think what you want about that decision, but that’s a lot of drawing power for a family show.

I love to read stories about the neat ways that God provides for people. Here is a great one.

I don’t drink milk so taking prescriptions with milk isn’t an option for me. However, I found that taking them with yogurt worked great! Even some heavy pain pills ground up and mixed in the yogurt never bothered me while I needed them.

I buy plain yogurt and mix in my own fruit spread. I love American Spoon’s Spoon Fruit. Once you go to plain yogurt and mix in real fruit without the high fructose corn syrup, you will never be able to go back to the presweetened and preflavored yogurts. I had one several months ago after making the change and I thought I was going to be sick. The Spoon Fruits are more expensive, but so much healthier. In addition to eating yogurt made that way, yogurt smoothies are part of our morning routine now!
