Quickest way to calm down a toddler tantrum on a playground is for the nearest mom to whip open her TJ’s flattened banana stash. It’s what all the cool moms do. Just kidding.. but they do work wonders to divert a cranky kid attack

LOL, Tina, every time I walk by the John Harvard Statue now, I think of how you’re probably sitting in your office typing away. I need to stop by sometime and say hello! Though.. I wouldn’t want to interrupt your work. It’s so weird to think there are people working in that building, I’ve never been inside! I feel like those tourists would drive me insane. I mean, it’s great that they want to visit the school and all, but when you’re rushing to class and you can’t get through the crowd because there are a billion people taking photos with the John harvard statue and rubbing his foot (WHICH by the way, people PEE on, and it’s TRUE because I know boys who have done it- gross!!), it’s kind of annoying!

Just read the article… and I concluded I’m sticking with organic produce, dairy, and meat. Of course I buy organic for health reasons, but ALSO for environmental reasons, which the study didn’t discuss.

Yesterday’s weather WAS weird… and SO humid! I’ve used the flattened bananas from TJ’s to make homemade banana bread Larabars, and they work perfectly! So good.

In terms of easy, portable lunch ideas, here’s one I ate fairly consistently in grad school: mash 1/2 avocado with about 1 Tbsp each dried cranberries and sliced almonds, maybe some goat cheese, and spread on a TJ’s whole wheat burger bun (the 110 calorie ones). Sounds a bit strange, but it tastes awesome and is a healthy and filling star in an on-the-go lunch.

I am going to read the article about the organic study now…

One of the most important lines of that article to me:
“The review did not look at pesticides or the environmental impact of different farming practices.”

Very interesting review!

There are many things I buy organic because they taste much better. Apples, cucumbers, and berries. The non organics seriously have a waxy taste to me.

Tina! I’d love to form a team with you. I have a couple of friends who would surely join. We’re training for our 2nd marathon so this would be a great to actually do our crosstraining and strength training. Let me know what you think! I was also thinking of joining Healthworks anyway so it will be a lot of fun!

I’ve been milling that article about organics all day – I wonder if it has something to do with differences between American farming and farming in the UK? I’ve seen studies to the contrary based on American produce…I’ll have to see what data I cans scrounge up.
