It’s been a busy vacation week with Hubby & Haddie (just got back from a fantabulous hike and we’re going ice-skating in the mountains tomorrow), so I’ll be back to my regular blogging practices next week.
In the meantime, I have been rather alarmed at the controversy re: my mention of asparagus. Yes, we had asparagus. For Christmas dinner. Along with Honey-baked Ham, funeral potatoes, homemade rolls and more salads than I can count. Get over it. It makes your urine smell. Your comments were very errr…enlightening to say the least. But Mocha Momma’s comment won the big prize:
“This reminds me of something I read a long time ago and have found difficult fitting into everyday conversation. Thank God for you, Amber! Marilu Henner wrote a fitness/diet book several years ago and one of her chapters is all about poop. She says that what we eat is reflected in it (I’m sure she didn’t say it quite like that, yet it seems really gross now that I’ve written it) and we should check it to see if we are getting enough fiber. She called them ‘floaters’ and ‘sinkers’ and let me just tell you that anyone who read that probably checked the toilet after every poop to see which one they currently had. Not ME, mind you. But everyone else. Kelly p.s. floaters are the good ones, by the way. Plenty of fiber in floaters.”
