What memories you have broght back for me of my great grandmother and her “putting on her lips” before going to the bank or the grocery store. I can still smell the little solid perfumes from Avon that she used. A no nonsense woman, her pragmatism is an inspiration. Thank you for reminding us to take time, even if it is a mutli-tasking time, to put our thought together before facing the day.

Your snack could be considered local as well – since it’s made in TN

I’ve been reading labels for almost 40 years, but originally because my son had food allergies. Now I do it because I’ve been gluten free for going on three years. I, too, try to abide by the if you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it, rule and the fewer ingredient the better. It’s been a life changing way to eat and well worth it. Stick with it, at least most of the time. If you have to have prefab food, that’s ok. Guess what my favorite road food is — pork rinds! Plain, salt only pork rinds! The North and South can see eye to eye!

It’s all a natural stage of life. I’ve been through it a few times myself. I am no longer a disciple of Martha Stewart or the food network. If a recipe has more than 5 ingredients, I move on. We have a little bitty garden, but it’s a constant struggle trying to beat the varmints to the fruits of our labor. As for the ingredients labels, I no longer carry a magnifying glass to the grocery store.

Life is to short to read all those labels. I try to live by the James Gregory diet; fried! No form of samonella can live in 350 degree grease and I think it kills most of the artificial ingredients that are in our food!!
