My Carrot Peeler

     Yesterday morning I put my little guy to work in the kitchen with me. Someone introduced me to Time-In instead of time out, but this wasn't the case. Before I go on, we all know what time out is-instead try time in. The child gets to work with you and remain stern during that time.
      So, the day before I cooked a chicken in a crock pot, drained it, let it cool, took apart and put in the fridge. I left the chicken broth in the fridge over night and the next day all of the fat was on top, to be scooped off and discarded. I bought fresh string beans, carrots, garlic and red potatoes. My little guy was anxious to help but never used an old fashioned peeler. It was time. There he stood after a lesson or two peeling away and he loved it. I was snipping the green beans and peeling small red potatoes. Next time, I am buying the bigger reds, easier to peel.
       While I was getting the chicken ready to pull apart, I took out a big bowl of strawberries and showed him how to use a paring knife. He was thrilled to know a knife is to be used with trust and instructions. We all know how our hands get sore when doing monotonous work. After working more than two thirds of the way, he asked me to finish. He also ate while he cut. In the end he loved the crock of carrots, chicken, beans and potatoes. I didn't add any salt or pepper as I want him to learn, we just don't need that stuff. Okay, I did sneak a pinch or two so I let him also have a pinch. When I asked him if he wanted a pinch, he came over to me smiling and pinched my arm. He'll learn.
       This morning I let him finish the last of the strawberries.
    

Cancer Helpers-Soup Sor? Graviola Tree

      Who do you hear? Who do you listen  to when you have an illness such as cancer? So many who love you will tell you to just listen to the doctor, he or she knows best. All other who also love you but may not be as close like moms & dads, children and spouses will tell you about everything else. So who do you trust and believe? This is your life. If it doesn't hurt does that mean it will help? I don't know.
       Today on face book I learned of  a fruit that has lot of hype( true or not it's worth a try) about being a cancer cell killer better than just about anything. I got on the phone, called Whole foods in Philly and a health food store where I live. They never heard of it.  But I bet if I look hard enough I will find it here. Always keep your doctor informed and never let him or her go.
          It comes from Brazil and other areas with such climates and grows on a tree called Graviola. On another note every day that I listen o Dr. Oz who is a heart surgeon but open minded about all kinds of treatments for many illnesses. His main two are the Heart and Cancer. He advises what many doctors now advise. EAT, Eat and Eat more Blueberries, Carrots, bright fruits and vegetables and for a while leave meat alone. Go Vegan if you can and meditate.
        Keep negative people away from you-far away, as far as it takes to make you able to breath better again.
