Paying Homage to My Crock Pot
During the holidays my e-mail box fills up even faster than usual, with the latest deals on everything, including all of those "must have" small kitchen appliances. I'm intrigued by the soft pretzel or electric sandwich maker, but honestly I have neither the kitchen space nor the inclination to use either. It seems like so many of these appliances are good for making just one thing. When I think about it, there are few small kitchen appliances that I even use for routine cooking. Most have either gone into permanent top shelf cabinet storage or will make their way to the next yard sale.

The term pre-diabetes is used to describe the state between normal blood sugar and type 2 diabetes. At one time, physicians used to refer to pre-diabetes as "having a touch of sugar," or "borderline diabetes". Fortunately, these terms are no longer used! Somehow having a touch of sugar does not convey the urgency or importance of taking steps to correct a potentially serious health issue.
