Thursday Tuna Day



Page Turner here.

Tomorrow is Thursday Tuna Day! Okay, not for America, but for me. Why, you might wonder? Well, you see, I'm on this diet that allows you to have all the fats and proteins you want (i.e, meat, cheese, vegetables, fruits, eggs,) but no carbs. (i.e., bread, oatmeal, pasta, chocolate, toast, milk, pizza, muffins, sugar, happiness...) Combined with thirty minutes of exercise a day, it works. Anyway, I can have homemade egg, chicken, or tuna salad, but tuna has a ton of mercury in it, so I can only eat it once a week. (I could eat it more, but I'm not a big fan of food poisoning.) Anyway, sometimes I just have to imagine exactly what I'd eat if I went off. So here is the "Official Page Turner Food Blog of June." Here goes!
Okay, so for breakfast I'd have those warm rolls with sausage links in them, and baked French toast. Yes, its baked. And yes its good. Okay, for lunch, I'd have a frozen pizza off the grill (the best) with chocolate milk. And for dinner, a bacon cheese burger, an order of fries, and a vanilla milkshake from Steak and Shake. So now you contain the unneeded and unwanted day menu of Page Turner and are none the wiser. But of course, a food blog wouldn't be complete without a few more items...
Food Trivia! Did you know that the Baby Ruth Bar was not named after the baseball player but after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth. Eggplants are berries. People in Japan eat crackers filled with...wasps. People in Cambodia eat spiders, people in Japan eat the potentially fatal puffer fish, and flavors of potato chips range from octopus, chicken feet, cinnamon bun, grilled cheese, blueberry, ghost peppers (used in pepper spray) and my favorite: "Cajun Squirrel." Yup. Look it up.on the Oh My Disney blog, the writers turned Disney Songs turned into Food Songs: "Let it go, let it go Can’t share my plate anymore My taco, my taco Crispy shells are what I adore! I don’t care What you’re going to say Pour the hot sauce on, The spice never bothered me anyway!" They’re the circles of life, And they move us all, Through eclairs and glazed, Cream filled or fruit, Till we make our choice In the pastry display They’re the circles The circles of life! (From Oh My Disney Blog; Let it Go, Circle of Life)


Well, that about wraps it up for the food blog. God gave us a body to use, and we are to use it to honor him. Keeping it in good physical shape helps us to be ready for whatever God has planned for us. So go, walk a few miles, and rest assured that dark chocolate is good for you!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Hi, I'm Paige Turner, and I'm back for the Christmas season. I'm looking forward to writing more on my blog and also celebrating one of my favorite times of the year! Christmas can be an exciting, cozy, comforting time, but it can also be filled with stress, doubt, and sadness as we think of those we miss. Wherever you are this Christmas season, I pray that you'll find peace in our Savior--something that we all need to be reminded of, including me. :) Christmas can also be an exciting time, full of joy--even during stress and sadness, a deeper kind of joy--about Jesus, our Healer and King.I'm looking forward to celebrating love, family (while eating some delicious food), but most importantly, Jesus, Immanuel, which means, "God with us." Merry Christmas!                                                                                     See you soon,

Gilligan: the Mind Reader

I love the show "Gilligan's Island." In this old TV comedy, seven castaways are stranded on an island and are constantly looking for a way off--but poor, awkward Gilligan always messes it up. Once on the show, Gilligan finds a bush with beans that enable him to read others minds. How cool would that be! I mean, forget conversation barriers, awkwardness, finding the right words to say, etc, etc. Or is it? By the end of the show, the entire group was pitted against each other, for everyone could read each others thoughts. Thoughts are supposed to be hidden from others. Even though we are supposed to take every thought captive to Christ, I know I struggle. Ugly things pop into our minds--who would want to see that?  In science fiction, mind reading has always been seen as fascinating, bizarre, and a gift. In Gilligan's Island, the Professor admits that he thought it would create world peace. Hah. But the truth is, Someone knows every thought you've ever thunk, and w

No Strings Attatched

"I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown!" sang little Pinocchio as he danced glibly around the stage, string-less and worry-less, as the other puppets look sadly on, connected by strings like true marionettes. Maybe you recognize this scene from the 1945 Disney Pinocchio movie. For some reason, that made me think about our strings. I think we pride ourselves to be like Pinocchio: chipper, happy, and totally independent (although not quite as wooden.) Well, in reality, we are totally dependent on God. Our talents, our future, our past, our present, and our circumstances are all in the hand's of God. Sure, our decisions change things, but God's in control; nothing we do happens without Him planning it. Good grief, we don't even control our body! You can't tell your cells to burn glucose to give you energy, or your heart to beat, or your stomach juices to digest the food. (Say it with me, eww . Very good.) But God looks after u
