So it's like this...



I made dinner and almost simultaneously after I had put the salmon in the broiler Hubby and I realized, oops it’s half price pizza night at Boca Lupo due to the full cold moon! A once a month tradition at this pizzeria.

Oh well, so Hubby thought we could get one anyway and save it for tomorrow night and after dinner he called it in…well, they said it would be an hour and a half wait, what????? Hubby hung up and looked at me and said I think we should cancel it, and I agreed and so he did, next month’s another month, true?

Odd how we also realized that lately waiting for that one monthly pie makes it more fun, anticipation. There was a time that it was a weekly event, pizza, but not for quite some time.

As much as we like the fact that we finally after nearly thirty years of living in Florida that we found a pizzeria that makes pies like we had in good ole NJ they are not that healthy to be eaten that often; everything in moderation, of course.

I know horrors!

But we all know that in our heart of hearts know that it is NOT good for that heart due to high levels of sodium and fat and so much else… but we do love them and now have them as a special treat on occasion not as a weekly part of our diet, hmm?

Over the next few years we are all going to be better informed about all that since now the commercial food places will have to have all the information available to us consumers to know exactly what we are getting ourselves into, from what the calorie count is to all the important facts, like sodium levels and sat fat too, true.

Although, do any of you really believe that people will change their eating habits?

I hate to do this, nah, not really, but I think that most won’t sadly.

Men for instance as a group are not that interested in what is in their food, except weight conscious or health food savvy men that is… many women too, most say they want to know but how many do you really think will let that new found knowledge make a difference in their consumption of food eaten on the fly…?

I only say that due to those fancy coffees and drive thru quickie foods that everyone from parents to executives or both that should be are guilty of using when in a hurry!

If it helps thin us Americans up with the ability to know being the ability to choose wisely than that is what we all should do!

That means all you skinny folks too, who may have high blood pressure or cholesterol or diabetes not just for obese people either, since many of those diseases affect them too! Let's not forget allergies too!

Just like label reading was supposed to help and I am more than sure it has, but when there is a sale or you are in a hurry do you always shop wisely, when in the know…PLEASE DO! And I will try too.



On this note of still enjoying the season with thinking too, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
