Rhubarb season

I am thinking of trying this recipe I found called 'sweet and sour rhubarb pork chops'. It calls for 2 cups of diced rhubarb which I've never actually cooked before, and of course, some pork chops. I found an old post of mine from last year where I tried some strawberry rhubarb pie and liked it. At that time, I found out that the rhubarb leaves are poisonous.

Grandma knows best

I'm not a grandma but I thought this one was cute!

Here is what I found interesting in health news this past week:

Scientists are thinking of fighting pancreatic cancer with viruses. Current treatments don't work so this would be a good thing.

And they may have found a drug called DFMO to prevent and treat Alzheimers.

Barrel-aged Maple Syrup

I thought this was cute:

I recently heard about barrel-aged maple syrup, although it's not a new product. 
It is maple syrup aged 5 to 8 months in charred barrels, it comes out with a smoke flavour, great on pancakes. It would be interesting to try this.

Have a great Saturday!

I'm busy trying to help my son K settle into the local College academics. He has a non-verbal learning disability which compromises his Math and English. On top of that, he is still in Summer socializing mode. Well, one day at a time, we will see what comes out of this.

GPS

This is so cute, should give you a good laugh today!

I have a little GPS
I've had it all my life
It’s better than the normal ones
My GPS is my wife

It gives me full instructions
Especially how to drive
"It's thirty miles an hour", it says
"You're doing thirty five"

It tells me when to stop and start
And when to use the brake
And tells me that it's never ever
Safe to overtake

It tells me when a light is red
And when it goes to green
It seems to know instinctively
Just when to intervene

It lists the vehicles just in front
And all those to the rear
And taking this into account
It specifies my gear.

I'm sure no other driver
Has so helpful a device
For when we leave and lock the car
It still gives its advice
It fills me up with counseling
Each journey's pretty fraught
So why don't I exchange it
And get a quieter sort?

Ah well, you see, it cleans the house,
Makes sure I'm properly fed,
It washes all my shirts and things
And - keeps me warm in bed!

Despite all these advantages
And my tendency to scoff,
I do wish that once in a while
I could turn the darned thing off.
