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!

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...

An Ode to My iPod: Part 2

iPod, you were in your plastic baggy I stared at you as I cleaned the kitchen How broken you were! The rice could not fix you, it seemed A friend suggested I get a new one Replace you, dear iPod? I had no other choice! You've been with me through a lot, dear iPod Through my first couple basketball games Through that terrible thunderstorm I listened to you during my sad times I played you when I was happy Your music reminded me of good memories Why, wonderful iPod, why did I let you get wet? It was such an innocent thunderstorm I held you as I listened to your song But was it for the last time? I listened to you as we drove long miles Your ability to store music astounds me So many memories are in those songs! My little iPod, you played as we grouted the porch You were beside me in the late nights when I couldn't sleep You lie on my pillow, supplying me with audio as I draw Dear little iPod, your music kept me running I guess I shall have to say good-bye,...

Day 21

  Hey, Page Turner here! Back for day 20 in my countdown to Valentine's Day. There is a lot of romance movies out there. One of my personal favorites is Princess Bride. ( spoiler alerts ahead)  I mean, come on. " My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." It doesn't get much better than that, does it?! Princess Bride is a humorous romance complete with a kidnapped princess, shrieking eels, giants, sword fights, Miracle Max, betrayal, and a dashing hero. The best part is the entire story is read by a grandpa to his sick grandchild, a young kid with a cynical sense of humor and boyish distaste for romance. The movie follows the love story of Buttercup and Wesley, two peasants who are madly in love. Their story is cut short when Wesley dies at the hand of the Dread Pirate Robertson, and Buttercup is given to the prince to marry. As the days count down to her wedding day, Buttercup is kidnapped by a Spaniard swordsman, a kind-hearted giant, and a se...
