Speed foods; My eating plan for a week

One of the fun things about reading articles from England is learning real English, not "American" words. A stone would not be ever mentioned here, except for a small rock. Seeing how the languages we both call English differ is itself worth ...

Peanut butter
The problem with most peanut butters is that approx. 3 ozs contains more than 50% FAT ,at 50.39%. and 588 calories if you follow calories. Therefore, just about 3 ozs peanut butter contains nearly half a day's calories and nearly ...

You have picked up the three main areas about which I write. Well observed. When writing about walking I prefer to base the article on walks that I have done and on areas that I have visited.

I see many highlighted plums, but cannot find plums on either list. I eat two a day, sometimes as a part of lunch, and sometimes as a snack.
And other foods have value. My wife claims peanut butter inhibits some cancer, so he eat much of it. ...

Thanks to both of you. The family is from Hamshire, but as I go back a few generations I find Dorset to come up often.
I have the international version of Ancestry.
I have found names marrying in including Orton, Tunstal, and Stubbs. Then ...

Finding an Ancestry
The whole south west has a link to Brittany going back much further than 1881, into ancient times, in fact. Many of the Normans who took land in England were William the Conqueror's subjects from Brittany, hence Bretons, but this was one part ...
