Food, fruits and stuff

 Photo of the day:

 This one is Kennedy, One of Jack's Granddaughters.

I think she loves apples!

So for today:

Before I start this wandering entry I wanted to tell you the background of Bluebell That I wrote about lately. 

The top breeds she has in her Heinz mix:

BUT for today’s entry. Imma start with food, I may end up with space travel, since I am known not to stay on track.

Oatmeal, do you cook, eat or serve it? It has lowered my bad Cholesterol, I think. 

           Do you use instant, quick or old fashioned?

Sherry switched to Old Fashioned style a few years ago when she heard it was better for us, more nutrients.

I grew up with oatmeal for breakfast probably a couple times a month. Sherry was raised to add sugar. I was raised eating it with no sugar, but I added salt. For over 50 years of our marriage, I did not use sugar, but for the past few years I do use too much brown sugar in mine.

Yes, I know dietitians frown on salt, and I have cut back.

Speaking of salt, I have always been an apple lover, from the green ones, at about an inch in diameter, to the big red ones. During the spring I carried salt in my pocket wrapped in wax paper in case I ran across an apple tree where I could get a green apple.  I still use salt on my apple, but I have cut back on the amount.

I thought of Johnny Appleseed when I ran cross an apple tree in the woods. To me spreading apple trees across the USA would have been fun. His real name was John Chapman many trees in Pennsylvania and that area are attributed to him.

(The grapefruit tree, that is our coach in the background I am sitting at the 2 window back as I type. I am that close to the tree. LOL)

We are presently in Florida house sitting for son Mark. Our coach is in his yard about 6 feet from the neighbor’s dying citrus trees. The neighbor is not home, but he is very sick I understand and not here. No one is gathering grapefruits. The orange and lemon trees are already dead. I did juice some of the 'red meated' grapefruits that had recently fallen, and the juice was very good.

I was not raised around citrus. I have eaten many an apple that fallen to the ground, but the farmers say here that any fruit that falls, will not be good. BUT I figured the ones just fallen couldn’t be bad. LOL

 I have wandered enough…
