Another post in my world famous collection of Electronic Sticky Note Posts. For those new to the blog I post links to other food blogs with recipes that I want to try making. I have a head of green cabbage in the fridge. While wasting time online I found this: 20 Healthful Cabbage Dinners and […]
The study found that eating fast food is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, a potentially life-threatening condition in which fat builds up in the liver.

A year ago this week, I made a stir with my post about five common weight loss myths. Today I had a patient conversation I have had so many times before: Someone was trying to eat healthier and lose weight at the same time. They are not necessarily the same thing. Don’t Eat More of Anything […]
Once again here’s the chart attributed to the New England Journal of Medicine from my first Holiday post Trouble in Paradise (it’s Weight Gain Season). Personally I had the best Traditional Weight Gain Season ever. I didn’t gain any weight. I just hope this isn’t sarcopenia.

Earthquake?
Yes as in a 4.5 earthquake.
Wow! Damage?
I felt a small rumble roll through the house while hearing reports of different locations having whole house shaking events. It depends on which fault line your house is near. We likely have zero damage but others may fare worse. We had earthquake coverage until a few years ago when the insurance company cancelled our earthquake rider. It will take a day or two for damage reports to make the news.
I saw an interesting Ask This Old House episode on PBS on how to harden your house against earthquakes. It was extremely interesting. It wasn’t all that expensive and it made a huge difference in the amount of damage. I remember they added various types of bracing to the foundation, bracing to the gas lines, and they secured furniture like bookcases to the wall so they wouldn’t injure people if they fell.
I’ll search for the episode online and take a look. Thanks.
