  SOMETHINGS IN THE AIR!

   I'm hoping my wife doesn't see
this blog today. That's all she needs!
A good excuse!
   April 19th is "National Garlic Day!"
    If garlic growers were looking for
a spokesperson m wife would certainly
be in the running.
     My wife welcomes garlic on just
about anything. When we go for pizza
she favors the places that put cloves
of garlic right in there with the cheese!
Then she'll likely sprinkle some garlic
powder on top of that!
       I can tolerate some garlic but only
a limited amount. I much prefer sausage
and such on my pizza and that usually
already includes some garlic in the fixings.
        To be totally fair garlic is know for
some health benefits.
          Phytochemicals in garlic are believed
to provide protection against heart disease
and cancer. Specifically, stomach and colorectal
cancers.
         It helps to fight off colds and flu.
         It lowers blood cholesterol levels.
         And it reduces the buildup of plaque in
arteries.
          I always thought you ate it to keep
vampires away, And, indeed, we've seen
very few of those around our house.
         So enjoy the day and some good
health with a bit of garlic in whatever
you're eating!
          Hope you've got some breath mints
around too and that all your NEWS is
good!
