101/365 Superfood

I am making home made yogurt with superfood probiotic L Gasseri today (and other probiotics to help it along). It will percolate in the cooker on "proof" ~ 100 F for 36 hours. It needs that long to really grow and do its thing. It is touted to be very good for the gut biome and I am happy with the results. I have been making this for about 5 months now. 

Since I don't use sedatives for my colonoscopy so I was awake and I had a  great 20 minute conversation with my gastroenterologist who says my gut is in great shape. I learned (and saw a lot - fascinating! ). Interestingly, she said she believes the rapid increase in early colon cancer (people in their 30's)  is due mainly to processed meats (but also overly processed foods) and possibly a genetic predisposition egged on by the processed meats and overuse of antibiotics. Overly processed foods completely changes our gut microbiome as do antibiotics. So what to feed our kids in their school lunches? 

But I do enjoy a thick pastrami on rye once in a blue moon. :)

While the rest of the fam are watching the Artemis crew return to Earth! 

And here we are on the 100th day of 2026.

 98/365 Just Do It

Colonoscopy today. If you are over 60 it would be wise to make this an every five year event. :) Not a big deal. Snapped this with my iPhone just before they wheeled me away. Almost posted a snow photo (2 inches last night) but this was much more creative and I am rather done with snow!! 

 97/365 Cedar Waxwing

There is an ornamental cherry tree just outside my office window. It was covered in dried berries until the cedar waxwings arrived - about 300 of them - and ate all the berries.

Spring is here despite a little snow yesterday.

 95/365 Happy Easter! 

 94/365 Solid Potato Salad

Lucy has been wowing us with her gymnastics moves - she is soooo flexible. So Grandpa had to show them this 1944 video performed by the Ross sisters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oMSKJHPzxc

By the time they left our house Lucy had her back walkover down pat! 

 93/365 Waiting for our Robin to return

Last year we watched her raise four babies. Spring is such a wonderful time of year. 

Today is Good Friday because our Saviour went to the cross for us. He suffered for us. he paid a debt we could never pay for us. That is Good!
