Dear pmarshall,
Anything eaten while standing up has no calories. Also anything eaten while wearing open-toed shoes (the calories go out the toes). And tastes don’t count.
Cordially,
Femme de Joie

Comment on Question of the Day by Grammalyn

Long before I was a grandma, a sweet toddler was over visiting and apparently she was unable to get my attention. “GRAMMALYN - look at this”, she shouted. I was so honored by the name that I just kept it, and in 1998 it finally fit perfectly.

My kids and some of their friends call me “Meemer.” I don’t know how it came about, but thye’ve found it’s a very handy way to get my attention at the park or in a crowd where everyone is named “Mom.”

Comment on Question of the Day by Jeanette

Jeanette — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:49:10 +0000

Well, I really don’t have nickname other than “Purple” because I always have something purple on.

But the nickname I gave my sister is pretty unique. Her real name is Julianna, but we call her Poogy! It all started when she was a baby, we called her Ju Ju Bee like the candy. Then when she got older I called her Sissy Poo or Jooge (pronounced Joo Geh)… anyway to make a long story short, one time I accidentally merged them and called her Jujee Poogy and unfortunately for her once was all it took. Poogy stuck

In fact I already have a cat god named Sassy! She is at the bedroom door each morning wanting her treats. Both me and my fiance bow to her Godliness!

Nice list, Paul. Is that enough time to get in shape for the Lemurian?
Here’s one more: The Shasta Wheelmen’s 40th annual Jamboree Century on May 2. Info here.

The brioche buns at TJ’s are killer for hamburgers. They stopped carrying them here in Redding, but I was told if I wanted some they would get them for me. Will try the cibatta bread now. Thanks for the tip.

Comment on Life-changing Lemon Bars by Romina

Romina — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 04:41:51 +0000

I just tried this recipe and am extremely disappointed. 4 cups of flour is WAYY too much. The crust is incredibly thick and takes much longer to cook, and the filling is much too thin. In panic I made more filling, but it’s still not enough and changes all the cooking times. I also used more lemon juice and zest than the recipe called for because I find that lemon bar recipes don’t make lemon bars lemony enough, and the amount i used was good which means had I used less the bars might have not been lemony enough! BEWARE the measurements in this recipe!

Comment on Water’s Not Just Water Anymore by Debbie Lynn

Debbie Lynn — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 01:44:14 +0000

I’m trying this water, it doesn’t cost anything except for a ONE TIME fee for the plastic jug they refill for me ( 7 $ ) , after drinking it for 10 days I have already experienced headaches and feelings of fatigue and a few other embarrassing symptoms that I won’t share…I will keep drinking it and see how I feel after the 30 days. As for fluoride added to Redding water , ” NO WAY ” , I don’t want ANYTHING added to my drinking water..buy a tube of toothpaste !

I’m retired and don’t need to worry about it. I did spend a lot of time around green things today. Planted an Artichoke plant, Rhubarb plant, WA Navel Orange Tree, some edible flowers in my herb garden, does that count?

Thanks for the write up on this. I saw those at TJ’s the other day, they looked great. Now I will go pick them up.

Oh, that sandwich sounds sooo good. Love Trader Joe’s. However, I’m supposed to lose weight. Hardly any calories in those rolls?

It just might be a waste of money, I think we have pretty good water compared to a lot of other cities. Fluoridation will not save teeth.

Comment on Water’s Not Just Water Anymore by Budd Hodges

Budd Hodges — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 22:30:29 +0000

Adam, city chemists and water engineers daily test Redding’s water. All PH levels are accounted for. And mineral content and chem balance is tested.

Very close watch is kept on Redding’s H2O.

It is my regret that floride wasn’t added years ago to improve the smiles of today’s folks because they’re too many toothless wonders. Get behind the movement to floridate old B. B. Redding’s agua,” The City’s Pride.”

Adam Mankoski — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 22:22:59 +0000

Doug - Thanks for weighing in. Hopefully Heather and Darlene will too. It’s my understanding that these kinds of machines separate the alkaline from the acid and what goes into the bottle is a high-PH water. Apparently, the low-acid water is also a great astringent/beauty treatment for the skin.

Who knows? According to some of the research I did, the Japanese have been using this technology for 15 or more years. But I don’t discount the medicinal value of a good glass of Chianti either.

Just to correct one thing: Les Baugh does reach out to the rural communities!
He does listen to his constichuets! And he does attend Town Hall meetings and
even the meetings requested by citizens! I know this, because he has responded to every call I made, every email I sent, and attended many meetings upon being asked to. Upon asking him to support my request for an Ordinance, he has as well participated with this item.

Ahhhh . . . the cibatta, paired with fresh mozzarella d’buffala (sp??). One gets so spoiled when one’s son is living in Naples and one is FORCED to go visit grandchildren. . . . sigh and flip of the hair!!!
Trader Joe’s . . . . now there’s a sign we really are growing up. I’m on my way right now. Hope they have some good mozzerella and fresh basil. Yum!!
. . . and thanx for the tip!!

I have yet to taste a single bread product from Trader Joe’s that I didn’t love. I didn’t know they made cibatta rolls, but now that I do I’m picking some up for a little sandwich joy.

So lazy! I telecommute, so I’m not sure I’ll even worry about green. And if either of my kids pinch me, they will be tickled unmercifully in return.

Doug — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 15:11:59 +0000

Wow! what a scam. Ask any chemist if you can “Restructure” water to a higher pH. As for “micro-clustering” ,this is a made up term. There is no physical state of water that can have the effects claimed. Save your money and buy a bottle of good red wine. It has some loosely proven benifical health effects!

Both Raley’s and Costco stock ciabatta rolls, too. They are sturdy enough to stand up to a hamburger. I doubt we’ll ever again use anything other than a ciabatta roll on barbequed hamburger day.

Comment on ‘Off Stage’ with The Dance Project’s Melanie Catanio by Josh Brazo

Josh Brazo — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:18:00 +0000

I completely agree. The backstage crew gets things done! In shows that require so much work, it’s hard to pull that off and make it run smoothly without the audience even knowing what’s going on. Mel and her crew do an outstanding job!

I just love how Melanie always gives us our call times, in her own special way…..”Ten minutes to places, Sugga’s!” It’s just such a great way to start a show. We are so happy to have someone so devoted, organized, and fun to be around backstage.
