tuna helper news
I had tuna helper yesterday. I was bored and it was easy. I am not a big fan of the Helper line of food, but creamy broccoli tuna helper was not that bad. My only complaint, the broccoli is dehydrated and even after the stuff is cooked, you can barely find the bits of broccoli. Solution: dump a bag of frozen veggies California Blend (brocoli, cauliflower and carrot slices) into the tuna helper just before you put it to simmer. Really makes the tuna helper taste way better AND you can see the veggies.
I am still craving lemons with salt and do not know why. I was told if you crave certain types of food, you ar emissing a nutrient tht is found in that food. Well, if I was craving the lemons for the Vitamin C, wouldn't I just be craving citrus? And why lemons with salt? It makes me wonder if it is a craving to remind me of when I was in my pre-teens and the neighbour taught me to stuff a saladito into a lemon half and eat it that way. It was nice to have that attention froma grown up who did not treat me like some pain in the butt who was a waste of time. Of course it could be because lemons with salt just taaste really really good. Why does something so good have to be so bad for the teeth? I am limiting my lemons to one per week so I do not completely strip off the tooth enamel.
I have also been drinking more water. It is a good habit to get into. I am doing about 10 glasses a day minimum. I am hoping that getting into the habit of more water now will keep me from dehydrating during the summer like I did last year.
I am also reading alot of books lately. It is one of the few things that keeps my mind off of munchies. I mostly read mysteries, but am going to start reading Red Pony by John Steinbeck. I bought it for a quarter at a library fundraiser. It should be interesting. The only Steinbeck I ever read was Of Mice And Men. That was way back in high school (about 22 yrs ago). I do NOT remember if I liked the book, so Red Pony will be interesting even if it is just to see if I like Steinbeck.
Anyways, this is just me writing what I am thinking about.
