Sounds good. What time should I be there?

Depends on what the US Dairy Council wants us to drink.
You can get loads of calcium in lots of non-dairy foods.

About an hour from now, EST, of course .

Dairy maybe...milk not so much. Too high in fat and sugar. Ironically Mr. Windsor (a big milk fan) just got read the riot act by his Dr. over his milk consumption. When Mr. W said he thought milk was supposed to be good for you Dr. told him it was 'dairy council propaganda'.

I love cheese, I like yogurt and ice cream once in blue moon....the only time I have milk is occasionally on cereal (don't eat cereal much) and then I consume as little of it as possible.

Skip the milk...drink BEER http://nutrition.about.com/od/hydration ... rition.htm

Brownies with ice cream for dessert.

If you really did not want to visit me on Monday, I'd omit the brownies and ice cream, too.

Thanks, AD!

Haven't had the brownies and ice cream yet. On my second glass of Vouvray, which will probably be my substitute for brownies and ice cream. DD, does white wine have any beneficial qualities, or should I switch to red?

Leftover pasta from last night, plus a salad.

Just put a pan of blueberry-peach crisp in the oven. Inspiration born of a trip to the farmers' market this morning.

Not sure. The classic study quoted is a study from the south of France years ago which touted their locally produced red wine as protective over their practice of high fat content foods and the inhalation of burning tobacco products. Most heart literature I read support the consumption of moderate amounts of alcohol (1-4 drinks/day) as cardio-protective with fermented products being preferred over distilled beverages. Not sure I'd agree with 3-4 drinks/day being "moderate," as at that level, you may ultimately do more harm to your neurological, cardiovascular or GI systems as protecting you heart.

YUM! Blueberries are good for your kidneys.

Correction: crostata, not tostada ( ). And a few handfuls of NJ blueberries are being added to the innards.

DInner tonight (a Marie Callender's pasta dish) was followed by a trip to Ted Drewe's with some friends (strawberry shortcake concrete for me).

We then walked around Forest Park for about 45 min in an attempt to burn some of it off.

My buddy Jeff turns 40 today. We're headed over for a BBQ (hope the weather holds up). I'm making baked beans using an old recipe from Kelly's family (it uses spicy sausage instead of bacon) and I'm doing two kinds of deviled eggs.

Leave the blue food coloring at home.

Oh1 Beautiful Forest Park! You're making me miss St. L.

Hot dogs
Some kind of hot dogs
What kind of hog-awful lovin' people eat all these hot dogs

Leftover steak from last night, sliced thin over a wilted spinach salad. Balsamic vinaigrette. Crusty bread.

We're having leftovers from DukePA's house. Low country boil, bbq chicken and of course. our home grown tomatoes.

Come visit me, Ima! I have a spare bedroom and I'm close to the park. You can walk to the MO History Museum from my place.
