In case you were wondering, chocolate chip Pop Tarts fall into the "not yummy" category.

[bicentennial_baby]

30. Hehe, thanks

Just poured my first cup

[merh]

25. Good Morning progmom! Here ya go - a site for you

Dark Chocolate May Sweeten the Way to Health

MONDAY, July 18 (HealthDay News) -- If it tastes good it must be bad, so the saying goes, but delicious dark chocolate may be the exception to the rule.

In addition to all the pleasurable sensations associated with the sweet, it may also help lower blood pressure by an average of 10 percent while improving the body's sensitivity to insulin, researchers report.

However, this benefit applies only to dark chocolate, which is rich in flavonoids -- the same antioxidant compounds found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains that are known to help lower blood pressure, according to the report in the July 18 online edition of Hypertension.
(snip)

I think your body craved dark chocolate to help you heal from your injury! I hope you make sure to stock your pantry today!

[progmom]

29. yay! and yum!

a trip to Trader Joe's is in order after work today.

how are you this morning?

[merh]

35. Doing fine, trying to get organized and listening

to Bette Midler singing Rosemary Clooney songs, just plugging along, thanks for asking.

And how are you? I hope your head is doing better and I hope you have a great day.

[progmom]

37. the next Bette will be a tribute to Peggy Lee - coming this fall

i am healing up just fine - thanks for asking!!

[merh]

39. So glad to hear that you are healing.

Please stay away from magnets for a while longer.

Good to hear about the Peggy Lee music, I do love those old songs. What genre is that considered, big band era, cabaret music?

[progmom]

40. pop vocals, i guess

though i still like to claim Peggy as jazz...

[merh]

43. pop vocals just doesn't seem right.

It makes the music seem so common & trite. And Peggy Lee is jazz.

[progmom]

45. hey - some people call it easy listening

the jerks.

[merh]

46. What goofs -

Is that the same folks that refer to rap as music?

[progmom]

47. um.

i like a lot of rap.

[merh]

51. ~~oops~~

I didn't mean to insult you. You can like rap all you want, especially if you consider Peggy Lee a jazz musician and appreciate the golden oldies. You have my undying respect as a music guru (& person) and now I must give rap another try, just because you have opined an appreciation for it.

Who should I give a listen to?

I just heard Carly Simon trying to sing cabaret style, it didn't work for her, imho.

[progmom]

54. ha ha ha - it's ok - you're fine

yes - there is definitely hip hop I would recommend.

if you use itunes, you could check out the following tracks:

K-Os - Superstar Pt 0
M.I.A. - Fire Fire
Quasimodo - Closer
MeShell NdegeOcello - Dig You Like An Old Soul Record
MF Doom - Poo-Putt Platter

Maybe I should make you a disc...

[merh]

58. oh, a happy!

I like happies!

[Beware the Beast Man]

33. Morning, gorgeous!

[progmom]

34. Oh B....

I think you're swell.

[auntAgonist]

38. nothing yet..

maybe a hard boiled egg soon.

[progmom]

41. hi aA!!!

how are you this morning? do you think you will make it in for the Art Fairs this weekend?

[auntAgonist]

52. Hiya Progmom!

I'm doing great thank you. We aren't going to make it to the Art Fair although I'd LOVE to go. We're in the middle of renovations and daMan is building a huge Arbor out back for my even huger Wisteria plant. We're a tad busy.
I hope your head isn't hurting near as much! Head wounds bleed a LOT, I'm sure it was quite traumatic for you and your family. (poor progspawn, must have scared the poop outta him).

[Taverner]

49. Optimum cereal, orange/straberry/banana protein shake

and a screaming baby who wanted to watch the wiggles at 5 am

[progmom]

50. we successfully managed to avoid the wiggles

now the big show is Arthur, which I find much more palatable.

[Taverner]

79. Arthur is cool

Promotes diversity, tolerance and respect among all people without being preachy - no wonder Fundies hate it

[1gobluedem]

53. Cinnamon toast was my breakfast of champions...

I hope the little guy doesn't fall for that whiny Caillou next; I couldn't stand that show when the girls watched it.

[progmom]

55. Caillou is also on his list of favorites

progdad hates that show too.

[1gobluedem]

66. Progdad has good taste

I can't stand that kid.

[UrbScotty]

56. You hate Pop-Tarts? You hate America!

:evilgin:

BTW, I had oatmeal and ramen.

[progmom]

57. i don't hate Pop Tarts

just the chocolate chip kind.

ramen for breakfast?

[Rising Phoenix]

59. Good Morning Everyone

[progmom]

60. Hey chica!!!

So glad you're here!

[Rising Phoenix]

64. thank you

hugs back

[redqueen]

61. Mornin progmom!

I had a leftover chicken strip. Didn't feel like making my usual bowl of raisin bran with banana slices.

[progmom]

69. interesting b'fast choice.

[yvr girl]

62. Breakfast update

I had a tomato sandwich on whole wheat bread with a bit of dill.

(You know I don't really want to put you down, right?)

[progmom]

68. were you talking to your sandwich there?

who are you putting down?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. Good morning, progmom!

No breakfast just yet...I'm in my study (natch) posting! I'll have what I always have at home: orange juice, sourdough toast w/peanut butter and jam, skim milk and then coffee w/the LA Times! Woo hoo! I'm SO glad you're healing up and feeling better...Injuries are NEVER fun to get through...

[progmom]

71. hey peggy!

[Misunderestimator]

65. Whatever...

[progmom]

67. back atcha

jerk.

[Misunderestimator]

70. That made my day!

[progmom]

72. you're easy.

[Misunderestimator]

74. Hey....

no telling my secrets...

[progmom]

76. like that's a secret

[Misunderestimator]

78. ...

[progmom]

80. ***

[RedCloud]

73. Blueberries, strawberries, soy powder and milk blended together.

I guess that isn't unique, but such is life.

[progmom]

75. sounds yummy!

[RedCloud]

77. thanks progmom,

I should wish you a happy start to your day as well. I guess I am in one of those delayed response modes day.

So happy start to your day!

[pdx_prog]

81. I had "homemade" cereal..

Plain bran flakes, plain corn flakes, sliced almonds, flax seeds, and sometimes raisins....splash some soy milk on it and you are ready to go!....had 3 pieces of bacon this AM also for protein...

If I am in the mood for something evil, nothing quite hits the spot like little chocolate donuts!

Lot's and lot's of coffee too!
