Diabetic Sweets for Thanksgiving

Sweet Potatoes With Apples
Serves 4 to 6

Try this delicious dish made with autumn favorites: sweet potatoes, tart apples and maple syrup. It's ready in just 20 minutes. Ingredients: Non-stick vegetable cooking spray,1 pound sweet potatoes, cooked, peeled and sliced ¼-inch thick,2 medium tart apples, peeled, cored and cut in thin wedges, ¼ cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon margarine. Directions: 1. Spray a 9-inch baking dish with the vegetable cooking spray. Arrange alternate layers of potatoes and apples in the dish.2. Pour orange juice and maple syrup over the layers. Dot with margarine.3. Cover and bake in a 375 degree F preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until apples are tender. (My advise, is to use a pie dish and arrange in a round fashion around the dish.) I got this from Remedy online magazine. Until next time take care.

Election Day 2008

Hello Family. Well it looks like our day is here. Many people have approached me and said "Vote For Obama. It's almost thoughtless in our community to even say that. But what do I know? In Northeast Ohio, the lawn signs that I saw said "Obama/Biden" or" Time For a Change. " I did see some McCain signs but only 2, or 3. This year because of my Mother I decided to vote absentee, and did so a couple of weeks ago. Provisional ballots accounted for roughly 24- 26% of the vote. I've passed by two election stations today and there are no lines. A couple of weeks ago there were long lines at Shaker Square, and at the Board of Elections. I just cant help but think about what kind of tricks they're going to try this time? What they don't know is that we are prayed up! Even so, this day, and this election is now going to be a big part of history. Until next time, take care.

Age Just a Number (A Tribute to George Carlin)

George Carlin on age:(Absolutely Brilliant)IF YOU DON'T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE. AND WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED, DO AS I AM DOING AND SEND IT ON. George Carlin's Views on AgingDo you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the keyYou get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!" May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!HOW TO STAY YOUNG1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them." 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's. 4. Enjoy the simple things.5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help. 9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.And if you don't send this to at least 8 people - who cares? But do share this with someone . I got this from Cousin Joan. Until next time heed the message.

Dorian Has Retired

Hello family. I am proud to announce that my brother Dorian has completed his tenure as Senior Project Engineer with the General Motors Corporation. He has spent the last 37 years in various positions with the company. His most recent position was a Safety Engineer for the Chevrolet Corvette Program. I was in Detroit when the "C5" Corvette was about to be launched, and I saw 50 years of Corvettes lined up at the GM Tech Center. I met Mr. Dave Hill who has also retired since, as well as seeing allot of top brass with my own eyes. I probably shouldn't tell this but the C5 drove like a dream, and commanded allot of respect on the road. Actually that type of job is what many people, especially car enthusiast, would only dream of. I imagine he'll miss working with all those intelligent people, and being creative at work. Dorian is also in a book entitled "All Corvettes Are Red." Well, when I look back I can say Dorian has been an excellent brother, a Christian father and husband, and a good person. I just wish he wouldn't forget he's not always driving a Corvette. Hats off to you Dorian, and God Bless. Until next time.
