Monday Meanderings

The name of the winner of the Woolzies is number 42 and I think that was Tanna at The Brick Street Bungalow .  Please send me your full name and address.  I'll contact Woolzies and they'll ship it to you!  Thanks for playing and this Thursday I have Coconut Oil to give away. I wish I had some for everyone.  Sandie

I also saw this one night on the Discovery Channel. Walmart, Publix, Wynn Dixie, and other famous grocery Store Chains sell these fish. Do not buy any fish from China, or Thailand. I have studied this. The cleanest fish are pollock and cod, from Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California waters. Flounder from Pennsylvania, Shrimp from Texas through the Florida Coast. (Gulf Coast Shrimp) Oysters from Texas to Apalachicola Fl., Pond raised catfish from Arkansas are the best. but the Obama Administration has put so many restrictions on pond raised fish, many have gone out of business.. Also Bainbridge Ga. sell pond raised shrimp, scallops, catfish and tilapia.

Thank you Sharon and Monica

A word to the wise.

Asian Catfish Farms
We purchased Basa a year ago; it looked and tasted good. Being from Minnesota, I got curious as to where it came from. The fish basically come from a watered-down septic tank. No more Basa in this house. Now you may find Swai; just another name for Basa. You will also find Basa on some restaurants menus, possibly under another name.

Asian Catfish Farms.... You gotta see this!!
The next time you order Catfish, or any fish-- keep this video in mind. You should be asking yourself, "Where does it come from?"

Basa fish is just another name for catfish.

After seeing this video, I would never buy it as I don't like anything that comes from polluted waters in Vietnam or China or Bangladesh.

You can now cross catfish (BASA fish) off your menu... Just look for the "Made in Vietnam label."

Most of the Asian markets and restaurants use these fish from the Mekong river! This may also be the steamed white fish fillet they serve in many Chinese restaurants.

Credit Card warning and thank you Ann.  Do you have Wi-Fi on your new credit card?

Something I found kind of interesting was about packing for a trip - I am the worse.

IMPORTANT  INFORMATION!!

Thanks Sharon. CCC instead of CPR Please take a couple of minutes and watch this...you never know.   Every minute of delay will decrease the survival chance 10% and delaying 5 min puts survival in 50-50% zone! This is a relatively new procedure for assisting individuals who are experiencing a heart attack.  NO CERTIFICATION, NO MOUTH TO MOUTH REQUIRED.  The important thing is to do it NOW! I hope you all take the time to watch this short video.... You just might save a life! This short video shows exactly what to do if someone near you collapses and is presumably having a heart attack. You could save the life of a friend or loved one. The one you share this video with could save yours one day. Please pass it around. This is the best demonstration I've seen and the simplest explanation.   (http://medicine.arizona.edu/spotlight/learn-sarver-heart-centers-continuous-chest-compression-cpr
