All Things Pumpkin!

Poor Linus!





At my house, after we sacrifice the pumpkin in honour of Halloween, we roast the seeds and enjoy.

Did you know...

• Even though the pumpkin is grown as a field vegetable, and is viewed as such, it's really a fruit.

• The seeds contain good quality protein. 100 g seeds provide 30 g or 54% of recommended daily allowance. In addition, the seeds are excellent source of amino acids tryptophan and glutamate. Tryptophan is converted in to serotonin and niacin. Serotonin is a beneficial neuro-chemical often labeled as nature's sleeping pill. Further, tryptophan is precursor of B-complex vitamin, niacin (60 mg of tryptophan = 1mg niacin).

• The pumpkin contains lots of anti-oxidant vitamins A and C, as well as zinc and beneficial alpha-hydroxy acids...that's right it can make a great skin treatment too!

Well, it's good to be back blogging. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've been having a lot of trouble leaving comments. It doesn't seem to matter what browser I use, I've been having problems or only allowed to post as "anonymous"!

Steve Jobs: How to Live Before You Die

Steve Jobs gave this speech in 2005 at a Graduation.
It's very inspiring and now that he has passed away, it clearly demonstrates that he practiced what he preached.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is our Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. Thanksgiving is officially on Monday (always on a Monday in Canada) but most people celebrate it on the weekend.  It's a lovely time of year for this holiday. The leaves have turned a beautiful color, and you can smell Autumn in the air! It's all good.

 

I want to wish everyone a happy day wherever you live. For some Autumn is a time for reflection on what's important in life. For others, it's a reflection on time gone by. Either way, hopefully you will appreciate where you are, where you've been and where you're headed.

 

Eat, drink and be merry!

All the best,

Marnie
