Findings from two new studies show dark chocolate consumption reduces stress and inflammation, while improving memory, immunity and mood. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/04/180424133628.htm

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

What great news! Hope it’s not fake 🙂

We bought a new gas grill, we were unable to find parts for the 15+ year old grill we had. And it was time for a new one. There was a nice sale at Home Depot, so be bought ourselves an anniversary gift (our anniversary is this week).

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh-area McDonald’s franchisee who created the Big Mac nearly 50 years ago has died. Michael “Jim” Delligatti was 98.

Delligatti’s franchise was based in Uniontown when he invented the chain’s signature burger with two all-beef patties, “special sauce,” lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions on a sesame seed bun.

He lived to be 98, so McDonalds food did not send him to an early grave – assuming he ate it and not just sold it.

As I have long suspected, coffee is good for you. Healthy. I thought this because the food police have been after coffee forever, and they are almost always wrong.

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.
