Cell Phone and other Cells

The World Health Organization recently released a report that significant cell phone usage causes cancer. I paid attention. I am SO much more conscious about using it - holding it near my face. Shortening my calls. Worrying about my past usage. Determined to do something about my future usage.

I assume you've also heard this? Scary.

Oh... By the way...

The WHO also implicated animal food consumption to the same thing.

And said it was a greater cause of global warming than transportation industry.

Vegan meal on VIA rail was excellent today. Great salad, soba noodles with lots of veggies and a fruit dessert.

I'd better put my cell phone away now. You know - they say those things are linked to disease and I take those warnings pretty seriously.

p.s. First blog done from my cell phone.

Ironic.

In Love...

yeah, yeah, Bill's great and everything... but that is so not where I'm going with this.

I'm totally head over heels in love with Kale.

Thin, with gorgeous, wavy edges, and an emerald green colour that's great for my heart... Goes perfect with my favourite pair, too - lemon and garlic. It's great when your love actually gets along with the others in your life!

Here's a cell phone shot from about 10 minutes ago - before it hit a hot pan, some olive oil and about a 1/8 cup of water to get it all hot and steamy.

(Or is that me?)

Kale is strong and will take care of you, too. It's such a powerhouse of nutrition - the oxygen and chlorophyll are excellent for everything a body needs.

It's environmentally responsible too - very low on the fuel usage scale, easy to grow and hard to mess up.

It's also sturdy and very low maintenance. Keeps for ages, it's not fussy or precious like its cousins. You get it, you can just take it out when you want. The green equivalent of "no complaints". The strong, silent type but always there when you need it.

Since I am one of those few people who ALWAYS keep their new years' resolution I am very proud to tell you that I have kept this year's in spades, adding greens to chilis, stews, soups and everything under the sun. I add it in its raw form to preserve as many enzymes as possible.

Harrison saw me chopping, and said "Wow, that looks good!". It's awesome when a new love gets along with your kid too, and the kid likes him back.

So - powerful, handsome, caring, easy to be around, socially responsible, patient and just fits effortlessly into your life. What an amazing start to June!

Now... speaking of effortless, when does Bill get home? I have something to feed him!
