Back in college, in the olden days, I had a hot pot, affectionately termed Polly Hot Pot (I don’t know we called it that), in which I made everything imaginable, so as to avoid the food in the dorm cafeteria.

OK.  So here’s what happened.

Heh.  Just kidding.

So, I was browsing through this book entitled French Women Don’t Get Fat by Mireille Guiliano, and I am truly intrigued by her concept for managing weight and health.  Simply put, she says ignore the scale and learn to live by the “zipper test” – basically, if you can’t zip your pants, it’s time [...]

Let’s get one thing straight: I do not own a pink food processor.  Mine is a nice shiny chrome.
All the colors of this fantastic food processor work the same, but this pink one can help end breast cancer. Starting today and for the month of October, a $25 donation will be made to Susan G. [...]
