Learning How To Live Life

@Lilac I just don't understand why they want us to eat better but make the junk food more affordable and accessible. It should be the other way around.

I'm hoping some of the things being put in food will be looked at again & not be allowed to be used. We have things in our food that isn't allowed to be used in Europe. So if they won't use it, why should be is my thought. I read somewhere that some loop hole was being used to put things in food that shouldn't have been used. I hope that is one of the things they look at & close it.

I agree the good stuff should be promoted with better prices than the trash.
 
The trash probably costs less to make. There's nothing inherently wrong with wheat. Grains are good for you. Someone said that they read somewhere that you can eat gluten based products all your life and develop an intolerance.

Just like latex, used it and Dawn dishsoap as long as I can remember. Now allergic to both.
 
It would taste better if they cut back on those two ingredients, but I think they are "addictive" to a lot of people. It adds flavor to a bland products they are trying to sell.

Years ago I cut back on the amount of sugar back anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 in some of my baked goods like cookies. What I discovered was that more flavor from the other ingredients came through & it actually tasted better. Some recipes, like for cakes, can't be cut back on because the final product won't come out right. What I did in those cases was to look for another recipe that used less sugar in them & most of those were older recipes. Cake baking is like a "science" that if your ingredients aren't measured right, the experiment will fail. I hope that makes sense.

As far as prepackaged foods, hot dogs, kielbasa sausages or meat in cans are usually too salty for me. I compare the sodium content in the meats when I buy them. Salt is the one thing you can cut back on in recipes & not cause problems with the end product. For a long time I've cut back, but not eliminated salt when I cook. The way I look at it, is that you can always add the salt after it's done, but you can't remove it if there's too much of it. That's one reason why I like the Keystone meats, two ingredients - meat & salt, & the salt isn't a lot at all.
 
Because there's so much sodium in everything I rarely use table salt anymore. And the sweets are so sweet they sometimes make me feel sick to my stomach. There's only certain things I eat anymore.

So I baked up the gf cheese pizza. It was ok. I think the other pizza smelled funny and tasted so awful because of the meatless pepperoni. :sick: There are some other gf pizzas I might try.
 
My hands have been hurting a little more. They were ok for a bit. Still hurt but not as bad. So I'm back to using the tens machine a couple times a day. I don't really care for these reusable pads though. But that's all they have.

Every once in a while someone complains at the hospital and the KDHE comes in to investigate. Something happened with an OB patient either in triage or in the birth center so they were in house yesterday. So the boss went through our carts to make sure we didn't have anything on them we weren't supposed to. She found food and drinks on the other ppl's carts. Not mine though. She comfiscated a bag of chocolates and told whoever if they wanted it they could come claim it.

I think I know who it belongs to cuz she offered me chocolates the night before. LOL! I have half a notion to tell her the boss has it but if she goes to claim it she will get wrote up. :oops: I asked the boss if I could claim it even though it wasn't mine and she laughed and said no cuz I gotta write you up then. I was like aw man! LOL!

I'm definitely gonna miss the memes and stuff that RR posted in the humor threads. Some of that stuff almost made me pee myself cuz it was so funny. I have said my goodbyes to her now so I am gonna try to not be sad anymore cuz I think she'd want us to just get on with it. I'm still teary eyed a lot.

We have a lot of trouble with our housekeeping staff hiding out and playing on their phones. Or sleeping. And then they wonder why nothing is getting done. I do my best each day but it really makes me mad that these folks are off sitting somewhere and I'm working. I know why the unit looks the way it does now. I'm one person, I can only do so much.

I'm gonna go work on this other Animal Crossing dress before work. TTYAL
 
I know what you mean about the humor threads. You're not alone on that. And I saw someone else mention it, yesterday, too.
And also I agree with the part you said, about a saying good bye process, and that she'd want us to carry on.
❤️
 
I hope that your hand pain let's up again. Probably resuming the tension unit will help. I hope so!

That's interesting the way you told about work, and the story about the chocolates .
😁😄

Editing: My spellchecker changed tens unit, to tension unit. That's NOT what I wrote! It's the opposite of tension! 😊😆
I left it, so you could see how dumb, the smart computers are. 😄🤣☺️
