My Family Used To Call A Bell Pepper A Mango

Image
When I was little my family would always call bell peppers mangoes , how about you?! When I moved from the Midwest to California, I was shocked when I found out what a mango really was when I began working for a local grocery chain. Boy, we were SO FAR OFF THAT IT'S STILL EMBARRASSING!🫑🥭 However, it is still common enough that the Webster dictionary's definition for mango includes a sweet pepper.   Some grocery stores will call their bell peppers “ mango peppers ” so that everybody knows exactly what type of food they are looking at. I do wonder how that would work for anybody wanting to prepare a Mango and Bell Pepper Salsa. Although both the bell pepper and the mango are fruits, a pepper is a pepper and a mango is a mango. Imagine ordering a delicious tropical mango fruit drink and receiving a bell pepper drink.🤣 Tropical Mango Fruit Drinks Made In Hawaii Why is bell pepper call mango in the first place? Well, in the Midwest and some Appalachia states (especiall...

My Chocolate Labrador Retriever Dog Charlie Passed Away Yesterday
My Charlie At Age 12 Years Old
This is my story and I want to share it with you now, I hope you have at least one pet at home and understand my current suffering. I had never thought I would want a Lab dog breed until I got Charlie 15 years ago from a fantastic line of hunters. There were just a couple of things....Charlie was much better at retrieving things, than he was actually giving them...he also liked to swim, but he wasn’t a fan of the rain. He would stand with me under the eve of the house, while Cooper dutifully did his business. But then I learned to love a Lab. He stole my socks any chance he had, and would hold them in his mouth while I kissed his head and tried to convince him to hand them over. He had a fantastic bark but was scared of his own shadow. Much of his focus through the fifteen years that I was blessed to have him, was on attempting to capture the elusive squirrel, get his dog toys back from Charlie’s “lair” and manage to talk me out of whatever I was eating. I don’t think I ever found a food that he wouldn’t gobble down. Yesterday I learned to miss a Lab and all the sadness that comes with that. I will miss his kisses, and all the times he insisted on climbing into my lap whether I wanted him to or not. When I protested, he would try to be much more stealthy in his approach and it ended up hurting more; it was easier just to let him have his way with me. Today I learned how big a part of our lives he was. How I will never have all 85 pounds of him sitting on the arm of my recliner, or his excited wiggling and stepping on my feet when I return home from work. I’ve also seen how much my family loved him too, the emptiness and sadness in this house is palpable at the moment. Thank you to my sweet friends who have cried with me, prayed for me, and picked me up. I send much love to you all.

Immersive Experiences Today

Image
Well, as of lately it's all about immersive experiences today , the perception of being a part of a different environment than our normal daily one, or is it? Lets face reality, i t's a great time to STOP and sit and evaluate our way of life when it comes to our acquisition of our food and what we eat. Sometimes we just get into a habit and don't consider or are even aware of other resources near us. First thing I recommend is checking out the Feeding America Organization website. You can enter your zip code to find all food resources in your area. For seniors, visit your local senior center. You may qualify for Meals on Wheels (free meal delivery Monday thru Friday) and the monthly commodity box. Let's be honest... Great Depression Era food is not what we can get today...food and livestock are grown/raised differently, even packaged food is processed differently. And... a lot of food during those hard times were not exactly healthy, it was good to survive on, not neces...

Ed McMahon Publishers Clearing House Commercials

Image
Why do millions of people remember commercials of Ed McMahon always popping up at people's homes and knocking on their doors with surprise over-sized checks to winners...if he supposedly never did this even once for any company at all?! Do you remember seeing him on TV delivering prize checks? It is said that Ed never delivered giant checks to anyone, and that it's a false memory and example of the Mandela Effect. Now, I do understand that Ed never worked for Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes, but for their competitor, American Family Publishers. And, that American Family Publishers NEVER had commercials of Ed or of anyone delivering checks or prizes to anyone. So, why do so many people say they precisely remember seeing Ed McMahon doing so AND why is he referenced in so many TV shows, speeches, etc. of doing so too? For example: in the movie Erin Brockovich she answers the door and tells her daughter, "I hope this is Ed McMahon with a big check!" Also, there...
