It's all good eats.  Spinach is high in almost every category in the food
charts for surperb nutrition.  One cannot go wrong eating spinach.  A touch
of lemon on spinach and just a dab of salt and one can eat with the best of
intententions.

 I don't know why eating spinach is so funny, first it is a green 
 veggie, which especially us women need, full of iron to get the day 
 going, and no one has ever heard of a spinach omelet, this is nothing 
 to laugh at.
> I also make other vegetable omelets for breakfast, it gets your body 
 active, especially if you work out in the morning as I do.

 The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

   Oh Tom,
   I had more laughs yesterday reading what folks eat, especially Cheryl.
   All in fun, and it doesn't take much for me to start laughing.
   I'm working hard getting over a cold.
   Even a cold will raise the sugar numbers.
   I just go along with it, knowing I'm not doing anything out of line to
   get it to go up.
   The numbers.
   Hang in there, I'm sure you are doing well, and if you are not sure,
   ask, if we can help this is what the list is all about.
