Rediscovering real food

Food for Thought

This winter I find myself in an unhealthy quick food quagmire. Life is busy and the food I eat, simple. My vegetable garden is four months from producing, as the black soil and my physical activity lay dormant from lack of solar energy. I need the sun. Canned chili, frozen corn dogs, turkey subs, heat and serve pizza and an occasional blackened salmon Caesar is my diet. My belt tightens and my heart begins to ache suffering the agony of processed food. As my palate enters culinary Siberia, anything salty and processed satisfies - I'm in trouble.

TIMES ARE TOUGH, YOU JUST HAVE TO SMILE

There’s a couple of surefire ways to divide family and fracture friendships, one being discussion of anything political and the other being the topic of face masks. If you don’t wear a face mask whenever you leave the house you’re shamed for being selfish and responsible for spreading coronavirus and potential death to everyone else. If you do wear a mask at all times when you leave your house you’re mocked as a sheeple, blindly following the somewhat contridictory advice of the CDC and WHO. Well, this column will not contribute to the debate.

Wallenda tightrope walk more than just a stroll

Let's pay tribute to our teachers

In June 1934 my family moved from the arid high plains of Eastern Colorado to Post Falls because of the Dust Bowl. We were awestruck by the beauty of the area, the mountains, and - previously unknown to us - the wealth of fruits, berries and vegetables which were in such abundance. We also were gratefully appreciative of the friendliness and generosity of the people. My father had 6 children and his total financial worth was the $20 in his pocket upon our arrival. That is another story in itself, but that is not the topic at hand.

Unselfishness has a special place in business
