      in Brown Bread or White Bread?

    • Very refreshing. Bread has been a part of our meals right from our forefather's tables. And there's so much more to it than just plain food, just as what this video professed. Very nice!

The Best Gifts For Our Children - Part One

    Periodic deprivation. If only adults could get this concept. Last year, we were considering getting my 13-yo a Wii, that is, until I saw how much trouble it was to get it; people were standing in line at 5am to SPEND $400.

That's what I'm trying to teach my children. But as you say, things do change.
