I was snacking on peanut butter when I read this: Recalled Food -Jif brand peanut butter Sold at stores nationwide. Many types and sizes were recalled, including creamy, crunchy, natural, and reduced fat. Lot code numbers 1274425 through 2140425. Four of five (80%) sick people reported eating different types of Jif brand peanut butter before […]

It’s hard to know what to think about the recommendations for alcohol consumption when the narrative around it changes like the wind. Numerous studies have come out in support of moderate alcohol consumption because of its potential health benefits only to be countered by similar studies arguing that it’s actually more harmful than beneficial, according […] […]
The study, published online in JAMA Internal Medicine by Dylan A. Lowe, PhD, also of UCSF, involved 116 participants who were randomized to a 12-week regimen of either three structured meals per day or time-restricted eating, with instructions to eat only between 12:00 pm and 8:00 pm and to completely abstain from eating at other times. Time-Restricted […]
“How did you make this?” The last time I wrote about zucchini was back in 2019 when the same question was asked (probably by the same friend) which motivated me to write down how I make Zucchini, Corn & Red Pepper. This super simple recipe is the perfect side vegetable when you have your grill fired […]

I still feel so much better with the vaccine available, even if only 50% of the people are willing to get it. At least then I am protected or at least have some degree of immunity. Before I was feeling so vulnerable to the maskless masses.
In a few weeks hopefully I’ll have developed antibodies and memory cells.
Our local county health department is now vaccinating anybody who desires it over the age of 65.
The everyone over 65 vaccine first is a very good idea. Unfortunately there are reports from your state that indicate the roll out plan and execution leave a lot to be desired. Hopefully the logistics will improve as vaccine supplies improve. Demand for the jab as you might expect is high in Florida.
Oh yes, it’s a real cluster. In our county they opened up the health department for appointments yesterday. Very few could get through on the telephone. So people are going in person to make an appointment and of course it’s a big cluster just to make an appointment. They have a form now to fill out online and supposedly they will call you back to schedule an appointment. You can’t actually make the appointment online. Two of my friends finally got through and have an appointment in January.
I also agree about the people over age 65. But the rollout plan and execution do indeed leave much to be desired.
There was a big kerfuffle a couple of days ago when some people under the age of 65 received vaccines. They were accused of jumping the line. But the problem with the vaccine is once the vial is brought up to room temperature all the doses have to be used, it can’t be refrozen. So in this particular case there were some left over doses at the end of the day and apparently people under the age of 65 received it. I don’t know all the details. But to me it’s better to do than waste vaccine.
That’s were appointments I think will improve things. That way they can plan the exact amount of vaccine to defrost.

I wasn’t sure when whether you were familiar with the daily essays from Professor Heather Cox Richardson. I read her entries every morning and find it so interesting how she explains current events in the context of American history. I have learned more American history from reading her essays than in all my years of schooling. Plus it truly puts current events in perspective. Déjà vu all over again.
Thanks for the article link. I read it for breakfast and it was a great way to start the New Year!
Glad you enjoyed it!
