A few weeks ago, I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies using healthy ingredients. Penny took one bite and said "I don't like, Mommy." Tonight, I decided to take another stab at it using all the normal ingredients except whole grain flour. The thing about using whole grain flour is tha tit makes the cookies look brown. So my first batch burnt from over cooking. The second batch turned out perfect. Big and gooey they were a hit with Penny. Yet still there is something not quite right about using whole grain flour in your cookies…in a word…the taste. I would have to say that if you don't eat the cookies immediately after they get out of the oven they harden and have a weird taste. I am not sure if there is going to be a third attempt at healthy cookies. I think I will just go back to using the old standby favorite and just not eat so many. But who are we kidding? I will eat a ton.
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
