It might seem too good to be true, but dark chocolate is good for you and scientists now know why. Dark chocolate helps restore flexibility to arteries while also preventing white blood cells from sticking to the walls of blood vessels. Both arterial stiffness and white blood cell adhesion are known factors that play a significant role in atherosclerosis. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140227092149.htm

Betty, our chihuahua, eats corn on the cob. Betty is quite the eating machine, her feeding habits remind me of a locust devouring a plant.

Fresh sweet corn is a bounty of summer. While it’s not summer yet, sweet corn has become available in our local supermarkets. I shuck the ears, wrap in Saran wrap, and microwave until hot.
