 You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again. ….. 

         A young woman went to her mother and told

 her about her life and how things were so hard for

 her. She did not know how she was going to make it

 and wanted to give up, She was tired of fighting

 and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved,

 a new one arose.

 In Awe Of Beauty

Image

Beauty speaks to us in soft whispers or bold declarations. She calls on us to gaze in awe at her splendor. We are enticed by beauty. We adore her, idolize her, and even court her. Beauty seduces all of our senses. Beautyʼs seduction can be as obvious as the striking good looks of a man or woman or as subtle as the charms of a shaggy dog with loving brown eyes.

Pass The Butter, Please .

………..

This is interesting . .

..

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings.

..

Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.

Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!

Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
