   Just taking a wild guess here— do you have a stronger physical resemblance   
   to your dad's side of the family?

   Ever since it was undeniably proven that the *vast* majority of the ADA   
   guidelines are designed to *promote* dependency *on* medics and "big pharma"   
   rather than *free* people *from* them, I just "tossed out" all their   
   "recommended" content and just    
   started eating as much unprocessed food as possible (sliced, grown, or ground   
   makes for *easy* fixin'!)  (And sure, it does allow for an *occasional*   
   "processed treat"— (like Fritos!— (every half hour or so...)— mixed with   
   pecans and {pistachios in    
   sea salt & vinegar})) :-)

   I used to get the ground turkey.  Shopping by (lowest) price per pound, it's   
   sometimes a toss up between the beef-pork and the turkey.  It's a sin what   
   "Bidenomics" has done to our country:  iceberg lettuce used to be 27¢ a head   
   (before Clinton?) and    
   around 87¢ a head (during Trump) but now it's at *nearly* $2 per head since   
   2021!  Eventually, that boil has *got* to *POP!*

   Last night (and the night before) I enjoyed drumsticks wrapped in thick-sliced   
   bacon— (I do my own cooking.)   
      
   We gotta get off of food... I've forgotten what my dreams were from last night   
   / this morning!   
      
   > I like to go to buffet type places to eat as you can pick out what your want

   I eat casseroles made with ground turkey. You would be [surprised] how many   
   ways you can fix    
   ground turkey.   
      
   I was *somewhere* in my early 30s when I decided to do my first turkey for   
   Thanksgiving— bought a Butterball (big 'un!) and the pop-up meat   
   thermometers, also the gauge-type meters, big roasting pan, tented foil, etc.   
   When it came out, I was curious as to how it would taste:    
      
   . . . . . *DELICIOUS!!!!*   
      
   I was  over 30 years old before I learned *why* people ate Turkey on   
   Thanksgiving!  (I'd always had it overdone / dry / nearly tasteless / tough.)    
   Go figure...?
