Weather in the Tries: Our weather is for sure moving int Fall. Cooler, more clouds, and now and again bits of wanna-be rain. I admit, I’m a bit of a rain snob after living in both Florida and New Mexico where they have real rain. Where it blows in, dumps goodness, and then leaves. Here, we get a drizzly rain. Too much to go without a rain jacket, not enough to put out a fire. And it hangs around and teases. But, we have no rain coming this week, at least not on the schedule. Clouds, and sunshine. Yes indeedy. Our highs will be 75 for a few days, and then down into the 60s. Lows range from 48 to 36. Yep. Fall had done fell.
Relax and Enjoy Your Food:
Basically, I’m publishing my book review here. Though it will be some amplified from what I’ll post on Amazon and Goodreads.
I ordered and received my copy of the book, Relax and Enjoy Your Food: Save your money, your health, and your sanity by separating fact from flapdoodle —by Craig Good. (And you thought my titles were long?) Yes, here I shall admit that I not only know Craig Good, but he is my kid brother. Younger brother. Well, maybe kid, too, as he’s still pretty young at heart.
This book packs an enormous amount of information inside its 127 pages about food—eating food, what to buy, and what not to buy, and all the reasons for making those decisions. He writes in a very relaxed, conversational style, uses humor to make his points, and tells it like it is. Or at least, should be.
His advice on anorexia nervosa is spot on. I ran it by a friend of mine, a retired pediatric neurologist and he agreed. He covers it all in this book. One to buy copies of to give away as gifts. Winter is coming, and I’ve just helped you with your gift list. This truly is a one size fits all kind of book!
If I tell you this is the book on nutrition you need to read, I’m afraid I’ll scare you off. But it is. Craig tells us the good, the bad, and the ugly of supplements, of organic vs. non-organic foods, the myths of food and how they became imbedded in our psyche, and the facts we need to make good, flavorful, and healthy decisions. Oh, and save oodles of money while doing it. That makes it worth the price of admission, yes?
The book is available as a paper back, electronically, and audio book (I recognized the voice on the audible sample. Yep, my little bro!)
The book is available through Amazon, Apple Books, and I imagine by order from your favorite brick and mortar store. Under $10.00. For the price of two lattes, you’ll have an enjoyable read, get smarter, and have several good laughs. Oh, be sure to read it cover-to-cover. Good advice from a master instructor.

Entertainment:
Netflix: I hate to admit it, but I barely turned the tube on all week, and didn’t watch any entertainment type shows. I think I’m in mourning for Lucifer. What a corny show. One of the best ones I’ve seen in a long time! I may have to binge it all over again 😉

Relax and Enjoy Your Food: Save your money, your health, and your sanity by separating fact from flapdoodle —by Craig Good. Well, you know this one.
Peace of Music —by Denise Kahn. This is the first of a trilogy, all three are out, and I will probably buy the other two soon. An historical novel through the centuries following a Goddess-Blessed vase on its journey from ancient China to modern day China. A quick read, put it in the Brain Candy file. Four stars.
Quote of the week:
“Eat your veggies first.” —Craig Good
And we have made it to another Monday. Those of you who still work for a living don’t understand about week ends. But those of us who are retired, we know. We never, ever, get weekends. So enjoy them while you get ’em. Once you turn old and retire, you will never have another week end. Honest. Trust me.
” Once you turn old and retire, you will never have another week end. ”
Never thought of it that way, but it’s true!
But there is one saving grace — the work week is a good time to take in things that are too crowded on the weekend.
Well, this is embarrassing, I didn’t get my normal notification I had comments to read and reply to. Sorry about that!
Indeed, you are right, the work week is a good time to take in things that are too crowded on weekends. For sure, for sure.
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll pick up a copy and maybe some for my food-phobic friends. I have a couple.

Food phobic? Sometimes I wish I was food phobic, certainly be easier to lose a few pounds, but oh, I do love foods. All kinds. But, yes, it might be a great book for them.
