Thank you for the nice comments on my photos! There doesn't seem to be many checking in this time of year and I can't wait for those of you in the warm climates to start posting new pictures. illinoisdoglover....I didn't receive an email so could you try again? Sometimes GW is tempermental. I wouldn't want you to think I was ignoring you. Celeste

Can you email pictures from your cell phone to your email account? That's what I often do.

I've inherited blood pressure and cholesterol problems and also had a severe reaction to Crestor, so I'm strictly on my own when it comes to managing the cholestrol. I've learned, through trial and error, that avoidance of empty, starchy carbs and sugar makes a huge difference in all of my numbers. I typically start my day with a "sludgie" made in a NutriBullet with lots of leafy greens, some fruit, yogurt, nuts, seeds, and a liquid of my choice. I do not avoid fatty foods at all; no fat-free or low-fat anything. Bacon is my friend. But there's no processed food in my pantry, no hidden sugars, no breads, or cereals. I guess I follow a modified Atkins program, with lots of vegetables added to the meat, eggs, and dairy foods. I don't count calories; I'd probably be horrified. Carbs are what I keep track of. I have to watch my weight.....in order to not lose any more. I'm never hungry, that's partly due to the fat in what I eat but also to the absence of sugars and any breads, pasta, cereal. Those foods always made me hungry for more, more, more. Once I more or less recovered from the Crestor issues, I was left with what has been diagnised as fibromyalgia. My body failed me rapidly. Fortunately, I am able to take advantage of nearby fitness center where I participate in water aerobic classes, yoga, pilates, muscle machines and training, and just plain swimming for fun. I initially used a trainer (PT) to work with me on my strength and muscles, and she was a huge help. The difference between how I felt and looked before I started going to the center and now is incredible. I was feeling weak, frail, unsteady on my feet, all of which made me feel helpless and very, very old. I'm just old....not very, very! ;-) Oh, my blood work is stellar....no more meds of any kind.

Thanks for the picture, Maddielee. It looks like what I actually have is not the correct insert, it's the top of a Tupperware grater (who knew that could happen?). It looks like this one, with a rounded handle, the piece on the top. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Tupperware-Jadeite-3-Piece-Shreader-Veggie-Celery-Keeper-Crisper-/112431578967?hash=item1a2d71bf57:g:MhoAAOSw2gxYwDxF Even without the insert, though, an entire stalk of celery won't fit inside and still leave room for the lid to close, so maybe Olychick is right, celery is bigger, maybe. Rusty, I have that GE refrigerator that I mostly like, french doors and a bottom freezer. However, anything in the bottom of the crisper drawers freeze. I've tried putting in blocks of styrofoam, those padded plastic pieces of bubble wrap, even folded towels, but everything in the crisper drawer freezes. Maybe because the crisper drawers sit right on top of the freezer? I don't know. Anyway, I'm going to try that celery keeper and see if that helps. The lettuce always has to go on a shelf to avoid freezing, because Elery doesn't like it frozen and soggy, go figure. (grin) If celery or carrots freeze, I can still toss them into the pan to make my mirepoix or whatever but frozen iceburg lettuce is only fit for chicken food. Shirl, Amanda has a set of four pink Pyrex nesting bowls that were my Grandmother's, so I'm thinking Ashley is probably going to lay claim to this set! I have a cabinet full of pyrex casserole dishes and I use them all the time, love the things. The Princess is always excited to try new kitchen stuff, especially if she gets to eat the results! Annie
