For his first Father's Day, I made Poke a cereal bowl especially for him, from 4L. I also painted a mustache on his favorite mug.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Michael's had some ceramic paint on sale, so I went ahead and bought all the primary colors plus a few extras. I have many plans for this paint!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's easy to use, if you are patient. You can't just slop it on like acrylic paint - you must dab gently, otherwise you'll get streaks and lines instead of a smooth finish.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Paint, let dry overnight, paint again, let dry overnight, then bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees (or whatever your paint says to bake at for however long).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yay! Custom-made wares!</div>

I took some homemade marshmallows and soaked them in cheap vodka for a week. The result was an AWESOME piss-colored drink. YEAH! We mixed it with seltzer. The reason it's neon yellow is because the marshmallows were passion fruit flavored and it happened to be yellow. I'm sure with plain marshmallows and vodka, it would probably turn out clear or slightly white. I did have to strain through two coffee filters in a colander because those marshmallows really broke down.</div>

Then Poke bought some "Wolfberry" rum, so we smashed up some
blueberries, added seltzer and lemonade, and voila! Wolfberry lemonade.
Delicious! And so fancy for your next outdoor party... or indoor playing
Wii party.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now here is how to make diaper cupcakes:</div>
<ul>
<li>Unfold and refold diapers lengthwise.</li>
<li>Roll up like a doobie (half of the diapers - save the other half)</li>
<li>Other half - roll up straight edge to edge.</li>
<li>Wrap a rubber band around.</li>
<li>Stick the doobie inside the straight roll.</li>
<li>Decorate with anything that will not affect the integrity of the diaper (no staples/pins/markers/etc). </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tada!</div>

For a cake, wrap them all up straight except for one, which will be the
top layer. Put a bottle of wine or water or something the mommy and
daddy like to drink in the middle of a platter. Place diaper wraps all
around, making three layers. Secure each layer with a big rubber band. Wrap ribbon around, or cover each entire layer with a receiving blanket - the possibilities are endless!</div>

<li>Get your closest liquor bottle.</li>
<li>Empty it (preferably into your mouth, or use an already emptied one!)</li>
<li>Fill 3/4 with tiki torch fluid</li>
<li>Stick the wick in, and form a piece of foil around to keep it from falling in. I've also seen people stick long pins or metal skewers through, if the mouth of the bottle is especially wide.</li>
<li>Enjoy!</li>
<li>Don't bother to add food coloring, it won't mix with the oil. Note my red and yellow drops.</li>
</ul>

I have so many baby food jars, I needed some way to upcycle them. I decided to try my hand at candle making, and to be honest, it was very easy. Granted, I started out with scented wax from an old candle that had lost it's wick, but melting regular wax would have been just as easy.</div>
<ul>
<li>First I melted the wax in a double boiler.</li>
<li>While it was simmering, I tied the wicks to straws and hung them over the mouths as shown.</li>
<li>Then, wearing my protective gloves, I poured the hot wax into the jars.</li>
<li>The End.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SO EASY!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I swear it took more time to set up the wicks and clean the stupid labels off than it did to "make" the candles. I spray painted the lids gold, which as you can see I need to find another method of doing... I looked like the tin man's cousin, gold girl. Afterward I tied a ribbon around and glued a button to the middle. Tres cutie!</div>

Hey folks, it has been a super busy month and a half over here. I've been so wrapped up in doing projects that I keep forgetting to post them! Bad Kel-Bell, no dessert for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I have LOTS in store for the next few days, while Poke is off working his overtime and I'm all alone. I'm trying to take a little break from crafting & creating, mostly because 4L's <b>first birthday</b> is coming up in a couple weeks and I need to be fully prepared.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stay tuned!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PS - I forgot to tell you guys I've lost 14 pounds. Yay me!</div>Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15757831830803653550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10247727.post-40891269648622153512012-05-21T22:01:00.002-04:002012-05-21T22:02:17.678-04:00Happy Mother's Day! Footprint Gift<div style="text-align: justify;">
For Mother's Day this year, I made a footprint keepsake for my mom and Poke's mom. It was free, because I had the canvases, the paint, and the little baby foot to make cute little prints with! This is a very easy project, even if you have a squirmy baby - just enlist your partner's help!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I left the canvas white, and painted 4L's feet from heel to toe in green, yellow, and blue acrylic paints. On the first try, we stood him up on the canvas and pushed his feet down, but that didn't give a very full foot shape. On the second try, Poke held 4L like Superman while I pressed the canvas to his feet, one at a time. Originally I thought I might draw a butterfly or a heart or something using the footprints, but they were so cute and simply precious on their own that I just left them. I did paint his name and "May 2012" in green underneath the prints. For the hanger I super glued a pop tab to the back (I've done this on ALL my canvases that are smaller than 8.5"x11", unless they were very bulky/heavy).</div>

4L came down with a <i>very</i> slight case of <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001961/">HFM Disease</a>, which he caught from our friend, who had caught it from daycare. We were lucky though, because he only got a fever and a few bumps - our friend got blisters all over her whole body and was sick for almost two weeks! Poor little girl!</div>

Because HFM Disease causes a sore throat, 4L wasn't really interested in eating much for a few days, and he wasn't even really interested in drinking formula either. I knew I needed to keep him hydrated, so I bought some generic electrolyte drink (<a href="http://www.kmart.com/shc/s/s_10151_10104_Baby_Baby+Food+&+Nutrition_Electrolytes?storeId=10151&sName=Electrolytes&vName=Baby&cName=Baby+Food+%26+Nutrition&catalogId=10104&i_cntr=1337628850394">Kmart Brand</a>!) and tried to give it to him. Unfortunately 4L is just like his mother in that he doesn't care too much for overly sugary drinks, and this stuff is <b>way</b> sweet. I decided that I would figure out another way to get this liquid into his body, and the only option was in frozen form.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I took the caps from our bottles, filled them to the rim with the drink, and set some extra pacies in the caps. Voila! Baby-sized electrolyte pops that are not only the right amount (about 1 oz) but also perfect for little hands to hold (4L is an expert paci handler). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall, they were a hit. The paci-pops were interesting enough to keep him sucking on them til they were gone, and because they were frozen I believe the flavor wasn't as intense. 4L didn't get dehydrated, the fever passed, and all was well.</div>

4L and I ended up <i>not</i> going to the beach with Trick cuz some little baby thought that sand was for eating... LOL! My mom and I put 4L in the sandbox at the resort on Tuesday morning and he immediately started shoveling sand...into his face. Needless to say, I decided that the beach - a giant sandbox, ya know? - was probably a poor place to take an 8.5 month old baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of the week went as follows: Wake up, eat breakfast, go to the pool, put 4L down for his nap, big lunch somewhere, back to the room for another nap, more pool, dinner, bedtime. During the day my mom and I had planned on going to this mall where it seemed like there were all kinds of fun things to do, including a bouncy place for 4L. Unfortunately, when we got there, the place looked abandoned. We ended up eating at this awesome salad bar restaurant called Sweet Tomatoes, and headed back to the hotel. Wednesday night Trick picked me up around 6pm and he and I went to the Universal City Walk while my parents watched 4L. City Walk is pretty sweet, definitely for adults only (although some miserable children were drug around by their parents), and on a Wednesday night it was fairly empty. There are a lot of restaurants, such as Hard Rock Cafe, NASCAR, Margaritaville, etc. as well as a bunch of clubs on the upper level. We had a Landshark at Margaritaville, a $2 (!!!) beer at the Red Coconut Club, and ended the night at Rising Star Karaoke with a glass of wine for me, a tall Coors for him, and my 3 minutes in the spotlight as I sang "Black Horse & the Cherry Tree" with a live band. Fun times had by all! Oh, I forgot - we ate dinner at Del Taco. Yummmmmmm. It's like Taco Bell, but just different - like McD's vs BK, ya know?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thursday was much of the same, only this time we headed out not knowing where we'd end up. All I knew was that Trick had shown me how to get to that same mall on a much more scenic route which was lined with a plethora of restaurants (and bars and shops etc). We ate at a place called Brick House, which was delicious. Thursday night my mom & dad went out to play mini-golf while 4L and I stayed in the room. I ordered pizza from a place called Flippers, and it was AMAZING. OMFG. You know how pizza looks in the cartoons? Well that's how this pizza looked. You know how cartoon pizza looks <u><i><b>sooooo</b></i></u> delicious? Well that's how this pizza tasted. It was freakin' unbelievable. They had a special of large one topping plus breadsticks, and the breadsticks were just as awesome. They were clearly handmade (I could tell by their weird, phallic, unconventional shapes) and literally swimming in a delicious olive oil/garlic/Parmesan pool. *drool*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Friday we had to check out by 11am, even though my dad would be in class til 5pm, so while my mom slept in, 4L and I hit up the indoor pool (it was a wee chilly for swimming at 9am!). When we went back to the room, the baby napped while my mom and I finished packing up. Finally around 11:30am, the van was completely loaded and we were on our way back to Downtown Disney. Before going there, we stopped at CVS to get me some ear drops cuz I had water in my left ear from like two days ago. (Unfortunately it's now five days later and I can't hear shit from my left ear. I'm pretty sure I ruptured my eardrum trying to get the water out. Boo.) Lucky for me, the same road that the CVS was on was the road where Eli's Orange World is! We went in and I found a perfect sticker for the van*, bought some awesome Ruby Red Grapefruit, and ladies swooned over 4L, who ate some of that grapefruit and <i>loved it</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because we are Catholic and it was Friday, for lunch we went to Fulton's at Downtown Disney. It's a swell place inside a riverboat on the lake. My po-boy sandwich was awesome, but my mom was disappointed in her fish'n'chips meal cuz it only came with one piece of fish - I had to agree, there should have been at least two, even though it was a pretty good sized filet. After lunch 4L and I rode on the little train, we walked around, and then I got 4L his first (good) caricature (I had one done once before but it didn't even resemble him a little bit!) which was done to make him look like a really cute little Disney baby. PRECIOUS! He needed a change and a nap, so we headed back toward the van. On the way out I wanted my mom to take a picture of him & me by this waterfall/dinosaur, and that's when all hell broke loose.</div>
And that's all I'm going to say about that. The ride back was hell.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But overall, the trip was great.</div>Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15757831830803653550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10247727.post-21501968049841456652012-05-05T00:36:00.002-04:002012-05-05T00:36:49.834-04:00Orlando Day Two<div>
Last night I was asleep by 8pm and slept til 9am, only waking up for an hour from 2-3am to take care of the baby. My mom had to chide me for waking up late, despite the fact that I had driven 19 hours from Ohio to Florida and only took an hour nap in the middle. I tried to brush it off. I fed 4L, put my suit on, ate breakfast and got him ready for the pool. The whole time she's just criticizing everything I'm doing, have done, etc. Finally I'm like "can you stop?" and she says she's just teasing. Grrr. If someone said all that shit to her she'd throw a fit. So whatever, I'm used to it, we went to the pool.<br />
4L LOVES THE WATER! Last night was his first time in a pool, and though he was leery, he was "jumping" forward in the kiddie pool and going under ON PURPOSE. Today we floated him around in this baby raft I got (at a garage sale for $1!).<br />
After the pool he had to nap so mom stayed down there and we came back to the room. I tried to get 4L to nap in a lounge chair but he was too interested in everything else! After the nap we went to Downtown Disney and had lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. 4L was a little scared of it at first, cuz the almost life-size elephants move and make noise, plus the whole place goes dark and stormy like a rainforest lightning storm. Once we were done with lunch we walked around and looked in the shops, my mom watched a high school chorus sing for awhile, and at the end we shared an ice cream sundae from Ghirardelli- even my baby had some!<br />
We all tried to nap when we got home but 4L wasn't interested in that so we fed him and then went back to the pool. My dad met us down there but didn't get in; he took pictures. We got dinner from the food court& headed back to the room. 4L ate a few fries, got in his jammies and fell right to sleep. Thursday we're going to the beach with my friend Trick while my mom stays here. Today wasn't bad, it just started rough and ended rough.<br />

So we get to the resort and it's a total clusterfuck. There is no lane for drop off only lanes for valet and taxis. They forced me to park in a valet lane & i wait for my mom to check in. It feels like we're driving all the way back to south carolina just to find our room at the back of the hotel. The room costs 200 dollars per night but it's no bigger than any regular hotel room. The website said there were 6 pools but there are actually only 4. It's supposed to be family friendly, but when 4L is having a meltdown in the restaurant, nobody is friendly and I have to leave to take him to the room. My mom brings my food up to me and it is ice cold and not everything I ordered. So far I'm very unimpressed and quite irritated... 4L did have fun his first time ever in a swimming pool!<br />

I love to cook and bake and all that other stuff, hence becoming a chef. I like to make things beautiful and appetizing, but it's kinda hard to make it really <b>really<i> really</i></b> cute. But I tried.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I made some cake pops in my <a href="http://thebabycakesshop.com/products/cake-pop-makers/cp-12">Babycakes Cake Pop Maker</a> (yay Santa), which was easy, because I just used some store mix with a little bit of red food color to make it pink.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead of using candy melts, which are both impossible and expensive, I made a simple Royal Icing (water + powder sugar + food color). The blue came out perfect, the yellow was a bit too runny, and the orange was just a little bit more too runny. I could have let them dry and double or triple dipped, but it was already like 11:30 pm and I just didn't want to be bothered. I still think they look good! I filled the cups with green coconut (dyed by moi); I put little marshmallows on for bunny ears, and it only occurred to me afterwards that I should have snipped them in half to look pointy like a real bunny. Oh well! This was my first attempt at cute pinterest-worthy shit, so I am pleased with how they turned out. It's not like they're gonna last more than a second once they're in your mouth anyway! Hahaha =)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, Lessons Learned:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<ol>
<li>Thicken up the royal icing - thick enough to swirl around but not thin enough to drip off your spoon.</li>
<li>Snip the marshmallows in half.</li>
<li>Have camera empty and charged before starting a project, otherwise you'll have to use your phone set on retro cam and some pics won't develop all the way and some will just disappear. </li>
</ol>

I planted peppers, cat grass, basil and cilantro indoors this year. I'm hoping that my little sproutlets will poke their little heads out while they're living inside, which will help them be stronger if we have a super rainy spring & molten-lava summer like we did last year. The cat grass is already growing, but nothing else has sprouted yet - although the envelopes did say 10-14 days. So, we'll see. Here are the pics!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recipe:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 cup baby cereal (I used whole wheat)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 cup flour</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 cup juice or water (I used half apple juice, half water)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

These biscuits are kinda weird in that they are tough on the outside but almost hollow on the inside. This means that Little Miss or Mister can chomp away and they won't break apart or mush up (until after a really long while) <i>and</i> it prevents Baby from choking.</div>

...but it's also an expensive and scary world, after all!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, with Poke's large tax refund, we are going to take a vacation. In the 6.5 yrs he & I have been together, we have not taken any vacations other than two days at Cedar Point in 2008. This year we have the time, the money, and the togetherness to do it! Finally!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was looking at Disney vacations and extended an invitation to the grandparents to join us. My friends, however, made a good point - 4L might get scared of the characters! I can definitely see that happening, because he is often terrified of his own shadow - okay, maybe he's not <i>that</i> much of a scaredy cat, but he does get very very nervous (to the point where he starts yelling) around large groups of people. Perhaps I should plan a Disney vacation for year 5 and not year 1.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That all being said, I think we are still going to head to Disney. They have some really awesome resorts there, and we don't have to buy any tickets to the park, or we can buy one ticket for one day. It might be nice to leave 4L in the baby room and go play with Poke at Disney World! Of course I can just imagine feeling horribly guilty leaving him... but then again, maybe not. Who knows?! Definitely have to think about this. Luckily the Disney vacations website has a sweet planning tool, where you can choose your style (basic - luxurious, dining plans, etc) and budget and they will give you all the options that fit. Then, once you have those options, you can tweak it to match your exact needs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have any suggestions on baby-friendly resorts, I would <i><b>love</b></i> to hear them!</div>Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15757831830803653550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10247727.post-75387252345851006742012-02-24T21:51:00.000-05:002012-02-24T21:51:02.396-05:00Wii Fit Plus!<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, for Christmas, my FMIL (future mother in law) gave me a $50 gift card to Best Buy. I was like "huh, what can I do with this?" because I don't generally buy anything there, and we already have all the electronics we could need. Then, shortly after my 30th birthday, something (the fat pouch) inspired me to start losing weight - finally - and I began to come up with a plan. I thought about going back to <a href="http://www.weightwatchers.com/index.aspx">Weight Watchers</a>, but they've changed their program so much and it's very, very expensive these days. I checked it out and even though it would have been pretty easy to re-learn the new system, I wasn't interested in paying for it, so I ended up going back to <a href="http://sparkpeople.com/">SparkPeople</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SparkPeople is a website that offers nutrition, fitness, and other trackers. They now have an app for your smartphone, too! All I have to do is put in the foods I eat, and it will calculate it for me. Almost every single food you can think of is in their database, or you can enter it manually. To begin, you put in your weight, height, age, activity level, etc. and it tells you how many calories you can have per day, without exercising, to lose weight. Then it says you<i> should</i> exercise, and encourages 30 min/day, 3x/week. My numbers are pretty easy to follow: 1330-1660 calories/day, exercise 7 days/week to burn 299 calories every day, and drink 8+ glasses of water per day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been a bit rough getting my calories in order, because I went from eating less than 1,000 calories a day to eating over 2,000 - thanks to working out and actually feeling hunger! Silly brain, always going to one extreme or the other! Anyway, it took about 10 days but I am mostly able to keep my calories close to 1660. I'm hovering around 1800, but I also burn anywhere from 310-490 calories per day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
...and that's where the Best Buy gift card comes in! I started SparkPeople and didn't plan on exercising at all, just hoped that eating the right amount of calories would work (yeah, cuz it worked so well in the past...?). Poke and I had left 4L at his Nana's house, and were running some errands when I remembered the gift card and suggested we go look to see what they had. Originally I thought maybe I'd get a tablet or a TV, but even the smallest, cheapest tablets/TVs were well over $100 (I was willing to pay half). We wandered around, checked out the GPS area, car stereos, and ended up by the video game systems. YAY! I thought maybe I'd get a few Wii games, and then it caught my eye - the <a href="http://wiifit.com/">Wii Fit Plus</a>. It was on sale, and with the gift card I ended up getting it for like $15. YAY! It took a couple days to charge my batteries and get motivated, but I finally hopped on two days later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At first, I was like "What. The. Fuck." because it was <b>really</b> weird to be standing on this balance board and moving the character on screen in all these strange games. The little guy talked me through the process, doing a body test and introducing me to all the features. I've been doing it for 16 calendar days now, 14 actual days (I take Tuesdays off), and I'm getting pretty good at most of the games. It even includes Yoga and Strength Training, which at first I could not do and actually sobbed after trying. These days I can do most of the Yoga and some of the Strength Training, and allegedly it will get easier as I go on.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The problem is, even though I've been working out steadily for two weeks, I haven't lost any weight. I don't think I've lost any inches either because my jeans actually feel tighter! I don't understand what is going on. For the first time in my life I'm drinking plenty of water (36-44oz/day or more) and getting regular exercise, as well as burning way, <i><b>way</b></i> more calories than I take in. My <a href="http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/">BMR</a> is 2329 + 310 burned cals/average and subtract 1800 cals/eaten from that = 819 cals/differential. They say to cut out 500/day to lose a pound a week... So why am I not losing any weight?!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm hoping that it's just a matter of getting things going, and sometime in the next week or so I'll start to see some results. It'd be nice if I could just see <i>something</i> - even if my jeans just felt better.</div>Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15757831830803653550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10247727.post-10488103176452007812012-02-22T01:48:00.000-05:002012-02-22T17:45:10.090-05:00Gluttons for Gluten(-free)<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I am SO annoyed with this godforsaken Gluten-free
trend that is sweeping America right now.
Everything is being changed to be Gluten-free, or labeled as “GLUTEN-FREE!”
when it's always been Gluten-free, or there are new Gluten-free
alternatives. The thing is, a very, very
small percentage of the population actually need Gluten-free food... but for
some reason everybody and their goddam brother are scrambling for it and
grabbing it off the shelves like it's cocaine-laced <a href="http://www.slim-fast.com/">Slim-Fast</a>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The only people who truly need Gluten-free diets are
those with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celiac_disease">Celiac </a>or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatitis_herpetiformis">Duhring's</a> diseases, and those with a wheat allergy. There is zero evidence that it
"cures" or "treats" Autism, although if you listen to the
whack jobs *koff*<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_McCarthy">Jenny McCarthy</a>*koff*, it most certainly does (even though a
<a href="http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/news/story/index.cfm?id=2860">professional, scientific study</a> showed that it did absolutely nothing). Unfortunately, like the Atkins, South Beach,
Zone, Cabbage, Vinegar, etc etc etc, it has become the new fad diet.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The problem with going Gluten-free is that it can
actually be quite dangerous if it's not necessary (and even when it is necessary, if you don't do it properly). From the Wikipedia page on Gluten-free diets: </span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<u><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Deficiencies
linked to maintaining a gluten-free diet. </span></b></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Many
gluten-free products are not fortified or enriched and contain lower amounts of
nutrients such as folate, iron, and fiber than other foods. Additionally,
because gluten-free products are not always available, many Gluten-Sensitive
Enteropathy (GSE) patients do not consume the recommended number of grain
servings per day. A gluten-free diet may not meet the recommended intake for
fiber, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, folate, iron, or calcium. It is important for those who avoid gluten in their diet to find more
nutrient-dense food sources to prevent such deficiencies. People who change their
standard gluten-free diet to implement gluten-free oats at breakfast, high
fiber brown rice bread at lunch, and quinoa as a side at dinner have been found
to have significant increases in protein (20.6 g versus 11 g), iron (18.4 mg
versus 1.4 mg), calcium (182 mg versus 0 mg), and fiber (12.7 g versus 5 g).
The B vitamin group did not have significant increases, but were still found to
have improved values of thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, and folate. These
dietary changes can greatly reduce a GSE patient's risk for anemia (especially
Iron Deficiency Anemia) and low blood calcium levels or poor bone health. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Gluten-free
foods include rice, potatoes, soybeans, maize, millet, buckwheat, amaranth and
quinoa. The diet may be low in fiber, iron, folate, calcium, magnesium, zinc,
vitamin D, B-complex vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamin
B12). Celiacs adhering to a gluten-free diet may be at risk for inadequate
calcium, non-starch polysaccharides and Vitamin D. Oats can increase intakes
of vitamin B1, magnesium, and zinc in celiac patient in remission.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">The other thing is that even if a product is labeled
Gluten-free, it might still contain Gluten (more on that later) because many
factories use products that contain Gluten to dust their machines or process
Gluten-not-free stuff on the same machines as Gluten-free. Then there's the issue of alcohol. Of course there is Gluten-free alcohol out
there, but if it is made from any kind of grain, it contains Gluten. So if I see your stupid face with a beer or
whisky or whatever, telling me about your Gluten-free Lent, I'm going to kick
you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Also, it is almost impossible to be completely
Gluten-free (unless it was supposed to be that way), and that
"Gluten-free" really just means a teeny-tiny amount of Gluten
(because 0 calories actually means <1 calories, and 0 carbs means <1 carb
and so forth). Did you know that the
amount of Gluten at which intolerance presents itself is undetermined? Yeah, I didn't think you did. Probably
because you think Gluten-free is going to help you lose weight or be
healthier. Sorry Charlie, you're just a
fucking moron.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I just get so incredibly frustrated! I'm not going to lie and say I've never tried
a fad (diet or otherwise) or prayed/hoped for some miracle cure for my morbid
obesity, but sometimes I just cannot comprehend what people are thinking. Why would you remove something totally
innocent from your diet for no reason, especially if removing said thing could
actually create a nutritional deficiency?
Ridiculous. The problem is that
people eat too much fake food. Why did
the Atkins diet work for so many people?
Yes, because they cut out carbs, but not because they cut out carbs -
Americans eat way too many carbs in the first place! Atkins doesn't rule anywhere else like it does
here because the rest of the world knows how to eat in moderation. Eat whatever the hell you want - just don't
eat ten pounds of it! Also, eat REAL
food - they say five ingredients or less, but I find that to be a bit
restrictive. I have eaten Helper three
times in the last three years, and those three times I felt (and did nothing
but) shit the next day. Too many
preservatives! Cheese powder?!
YUCK! Seriously. When I learned in culinary school that
margarine is one molecule away from being plastic, I decided to start making a
change in my diet. I've given up all
lite/low fat/etc foods because they aren't real - no canola/vegetable oil
either, only olive oil (I do have a bottle of canola that I've been working on
for about 2 years now, and I just can't bear to get rid of it and throw away
all that money - it's used very sparingly!)
Splenda and Diet pop are the only fake foods that are regularly let into
this house. I'm not trying to be some
guru or trendsetter, but come on people - there's a reason why we're all so
fat. You might be saying to yourself,
"Who the fuck are you, Kel-Bell?" and I will answer "I'm just a
well-educated mother, partner, and chef who wants to make the best life for my
family and myself."</span></div>Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15757831830803653550noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10247727.post-59372321120382387552012-02-19T02:54:00.000-05:002012-02-22T17:48:39.143-05:00Happy Birthday, Abie Baby...<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Since it's 1:52am, it's technically Presidents' Day. Abraham Lincoln's birthday was seven days ago and George Washington's was eight, but whatever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This, along with the current election shit that's already hitting the fan, makes me wonder what our founding fathers would think of the government these days. Yes, I know Lincoln was not a founding father.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">There have always been "sides", cliques, parties, whatever, since the dawn of time. Sometimes a girl like me, however, just doesn't know where she belongs! The liberals piss me off because, <a href="http://www.zazzle.com/annoy+a+liberal+gifts">as the sayings go</a>, they don't want to get jobs/use facts/allow babies to be born/etc. The extreme right, on the other hand, pisses me off because they insist on putting God into everything, perpetuating an ancient caste system that should have never occurred in America, and having a tendency to <a href="http://a4.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/10/382e9de3843f316fbf08a3d963c5f327/l.jpg">skew things</a> into what they want it to be. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What I <i><b>really</b></i> want to be is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism">Socialist</a>. I truly believe that if everyone actually had to work for the <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irrefragable"><b>irrefragable </b></a>greater good, they might fucking do it. There is too much distance between the rich and the poor, and us middle class people are the ones suffering. How can the middle class be determined by $15k-$250k per year?! If Poke made $250k per year, I'd be wearing diamonds in my pussy and 4L would have gold-plated diapers. We live off of $27k, and barely make it. Thanks to <a href="http://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/">WIC</a>, we don't have to buy food for 4L, but that is only 1/3 of our monthly grocery bill. What are we supposed to do when he starts eating real food, and more of it? Currently we get 32 jars of baby food in a month, and he eats 2/day - that's clearly not enough. I have to supplement with actual food, which is fine because I want him to eat what I cook and get used to it, but there are some things that aren't nutritionally sound for a 7 month old! We don't qualify for any other kind of aid, and even though I have no job and no income at all, I don't qualify for any kind of Medicare/Medicaid. It's BULL. Meanwhile there are people out there buying alcohol, cigarettes, and all kinds of fried fucking chicken with their goddamn <a href="http://youtu.be/NzspsovNvII">EBT </a>cards. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Not.Fair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But I digress.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I have a friend who is a conspiracy theorist (a real one, not the speculative kind like Poke used to be), and a friend who is a die-hard liberal. I don't have too many straight-up conservative friends, although one comes pretty close. I respect all of their opinions, I don't always agree, but sometimes I just can't understand. It seems like the folks who are set squarely into one of these groups (whatever group they choose) always has to run screaming into the conversation, blasting those who disagree or are different, and stating reasons why their group is the only/best group. It's fucking ridiculous!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">To me, some things just aren't important enough to be a true political affair - women changing their last name, light bulbs, living on the moon. Then, there are the things that<i> are</i> important - abortion, taxes, health care... that's where I get all stretched out. I can sum up my feelings in three neat bullets:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Abortion = Murder</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Taxes should be lower for me (and those who make less than me), and higher for those who make more than me.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Health care should be publicly funded (See: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_France">France</a>)</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I guess that's it for today. Here's a video for you, in honor of Presidents' Day!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">There's a lot of speculation out there about feeding a baby too soon, with a spoon, and feeding it rice/oatmeal/etc. They say it causes obesity and diabetes, but where are they getting this information? IF they are getting it from looking at our generation, and even our parents' generation, it doesn't correlate. We're obese/diabetic because of our current lifestyles, not because of what we ate 30+ years ago! Genetics does play a role; as I've said before, my brother and I were fed exactly the same way as babies and yet he turned out slim & fit whereas I'm morbidly obese. His parents were small and thin, my parents were average and stocky. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I even read an article just now about a "study" they did on 92 spoon-fed babies vs 63 breast-fed babies. 10 of the spoon babies were overweight, and 9 of the breast babies were overweight. First of all, they clearly stated that all the children were within a "normal healthy" weight range - so these "overweight" children were probably just the top 10 and top 9 of their groups. Second, 10 out of 92 (10.87%) is significantly less than 9 out of 63 (14.24%), which to ME would indicate that the breast-fed children were actually the ones who had a "problem"! In fact, I have a friend whose son was born 10 days after 4L, and is considerably larger than him. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Due to the complications from my C-section, I only nursed 4L for about 10 days, while her son has been nursed the entire time. Using that as anecdotal evidence, in combination with the aforementioned "study", I'd say breast-fed babies do tend to be larger - and it makes sense! They get all the nutrients, calories, antibodies, etc etc etc EVERYTHING from the mother, and who knows what she's eating (I don't mean my friend here, cuz she is healthy, but I mean other mothers that I don't know!). Spoon-fed babies are fed specific amounts at a time, leaving no question as to how many calories they are actually getting and from where those calories are coming.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Obviously, I'm not a doctor or scientist, and I only took one nutrition course in college. That being said, I do read a lot, on both sides of the argument (whatever the argument may be!), and I have my own experiences to draw from. Personally, and I know others who agree, I think that nobody really, truly knows wtf is going on with babies, and it's all just speculation. Thirty years ago my parents were told to put me on my stomach to sleep, along with millions of other babies, and we all lived. 4L HATED sleeping on his back, and now that he's old enough to roll around on his own, he sleeps 99% of the night on his stomach. Babies who sleep on their backs still die from SIDS, because nobody knows what causes SIDS. I would be willing to make a bet that in less than ten years, we'll be back to formula is the best and sleeping on the stomach is correct. I can picture it now, doctors telling insanely obese/diabetic mothers that their milk is just too diseased/fatty/diabetic/etc to feed to a newborn, and that formula would be safer. Right now there's a big push for ADHD medications/diagnoses, and I think that in less than ten years the medical field will agree that it's lazy parenting because they'll have moved onto the next thing that Big Pharm wants to hawk.</span></div>
