Greek Yogurt and other Wonders

I have discovered Greek yogurt. I cannot describe the depths of my joy in discovering this tasty healthy treat. It is good alone. It is good with fruit. I'm devising a mock cheesecake type dessert with fruit and Greek yogurt. I'll let you know how it turns out. God bless the Greeks.

I have discovered yams. Yams rock. This should be a cheer. Here are some of the things I have done with yams: 1) steamed them like steamed potatoes; 2) baked them like baked potatoes; 3) cut them in wedges, season with whatever spices, and bake like baked potato wedges; 4) roast them; 5) I am going to slice them very thin and dehydrate them, like chips. My brothers have joked for years that the pilgrims ate yams at the first Thanksgiving because they thought the Indians brought them, and the pilgrims didn't want to offend them (the Indians, not the yams). YET, the Indians thought the PILGRIMS had brought them, so the Indians ate them so as not to offend the pilgrims. My brothers are idiots: not because of this story, but because they won't eat yams. Yams is yet another food that will rise with us in the resurrection. God bless yams.

Shrimp. I haven't discovered shrimp, I've just been eating it in my homemade cocktail, which is something akin to chunky V-8 juice with attitude. God bless shrimp.

Oatmeal. Oatmeal with fruit and walnuts in the morning, and a couple of tablespoons of fat-free Coffeemate is almost the equivalent of fruit cobbler for breakfast. God bless oatmeal.

When you start looking for healthy food, and eating more healthy food than low-octane, only-fill-you-up food, food is an amazing experience that fuels you, strengthens you, makes your joints stop aching (less inflammatory than SUGAR), and your brain is overcome with C-A-L-M. And here's the best part of all: you start actually craving healthy food. Except it's not celery. I think it's for certain that I shall never, not even in a resurrected state, crave celery. I'm just sayin'.
