I always enjoy reading your posts. Sometimes I want to do a substack but then I realize I have no idea what I would talk about and don't have too much time to think about that. Who knows.

I've read about ingredients and clean eating. I went through a few years when I was diligent, and I had some positive results. Once the twins were born, though, all that is over. Talk about addicted to convenience? I have been ever since cooking became a necessity more than a hobby and budgets tightened.

I usually delete people from my Facebook once or twice a year. I spend much less time on it these days, so I doubt I will worry about it.

Thanks for sharing your musings and life here. You're always a good influence on me. I appreciate and need that.

Thanks Bart! I'm thankful for your kind words! If you ever write a substack, I'll subscribe! You could do one to share your photographs!

I appreciate the kind words about Honey’s Kitchen, John. I do read a lot about cooking with fresh ingredients and how eating fresh fruits and vegetables can make a huge impact on improving ones health and wellbeing, but it’s still a struggle in my life. I love food as much as I hate to admit that. I just try to make sure the indulgence I am making is worth the calories. I used to be worried about hurting the cook’s feelings if I didn’t eat what they prepared-you know being taught to have those Southern manners and all growing up. Thankfully, I married a man who is adamant about eating healthy or I wouldn’t have been so aware of its importance, although I have not always been so willing to comply. I get better as I get older😉

Thanks Shannon! You are encouraging others to eat healthier! Food is complex... it is essential ... and it plays a large social role as you mentioned. I appreciate your talents!

Reminded of the Enneagram; had to look that up! Love psychology and personality books. Like to talk to and understand others point of view. I used to really lean into the persuading part but finding it more helpful to see where they are at. You seem to bring that capacity as well. A fun post!
