Just Say No... To Nutmeg???

I heard on the news last night that parents need to be on watch for the latest "drug" craze for teens... Nutmeg. They are telling us that Nutmeg is being rolled and smoked, or put into a pipe and smoked, just like marijuana and that it gives the smoker similar effects of that wacky-tobacky. Nutmeg???

I can see it now, if Nutmeg can get you where you'd rather be than cinnamon must not be far behind. We'll start barricading our spice racks for the sake of our precious children. Coffee houses far and wide will have to put their condiment island on lock down. All of the cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg shakers will be chained to the table and highly monitored with cameras and scales.

Possible future phone conversation:

Mom: "Timmy. Where are you?"
Timmy: "I'm at Johnny's house"
Mom: "No you're not. I went to Johnny's and no one was home"
Timmy: "Well, we went to the park to hang out too"
Mom: "No you didn't. I went by the park also... you weren't there. Tell me the truth. Where are you?"
Timmy: "Um, well..."
Mom: "Timmy??"
Timmy: "Um... we're at Starbucks"
Mom: "No Timmy Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

And... uh oh... Holiday baking is upon us. Could powdered sugar be far behind?!?

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off. I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body. The older you get the harder it is to lose weight. What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting? Do your crunches and planks now! 7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism. ( Yes please !) After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks. It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
