No doubt, if you've ventured out to probably any grocery store in America, you've seen Halloween candy for several weeks already. But now, after passing "disposable" foil turkey pans and paper plate Thanksgiving platters, what did I see in the frozen aisles' end-cap? Peppermint stick ice cream--yep, a Christmas-time "tradition", I suppose.
I kept walking, first with a slight shake to my head, a silent chuckle, and an unseen smile due to my mask. "Here we're in a pandemic and they haven't skipped a beat", I mused. But then the seriousness of it all sobered and briefly saddened me as I just observed once again the reality of the food industry on full display.

I mentioned to you this excellent long-time blogger's website:
https://myheartsisters.org/
She has blogged for 10 years how she has been living with her heart disease as a SAD eater. She is an incredibly strong lady having been through a lot and having so much to share. I have her book too. These are huge gifts she has given me. Her gifts offer me a big motivation for continuing with this WOE and lifestyle.
I am recently reading another lady blogger of 10 years on her cancer. She has four books. More huge gifts from her for me! Yesterday I read her blog on recurrence:

I enjoy looking and I carefully read labels. Big organic butternut squash for 2.49, stock up on organic pumpkin. I found a few seasonal things to share that was not super unhealthy. All I need is a little party to sample a small portion of everything but we know that is out. It’s just wishful thinking cuz I am pretty good about eating healthy.
