When I think of Independence Day, I think of hot dogs, parades, fireworks, watermelon, and apple pie. Images and memories of days gone by bring a smile to my lips and joy to my heart. Memories of friends and family, bicycle parades, watermelon by the swimming pool, homemade ice-cream in the backyard, fireworks over the lake, lying on a blanket with my kids, awed by the magnificence of a firework display, are memories that I will hold for a lifetime.

Fire up the grills. Summer is here! Some of summer’s most memorable moments involve food. Whether you plan on feeding your entire extended family at a reunion, a gourmet dutch-oven meal in the woods, or a romantic dinner for two, don’t let food poisoning get in your way.
A Time to Live
By Bob Kaku
During the waning days of World War II, there lived a young girl in Kokura, a city on the island of Kyushu in southwestern Japan. B-29s rumbled overhead, dropping bombs in her neighborhood. In one particular raid, explosives ripped holes into the street right in front of her house. Little did she know that Kokura was singled out for an even more horrific weapon. It was the primary target for the world’s second atomic bomb because of a large ammunition arsenal located there.

Like most of you, I love America. My youngest memories of loving my country were developed when I was in elementary school in the early Fifties. Every other week, all the third, fourth and fifth grade classes met at the auditorium for music. It was one of my favorite things to do. We all sat quietly with our classmates and teachers. Every class had their reserved isle. The teacher always sat on the first seat and their class next to them. I remember a lot of order and respect at school and at home. After we were seated we were handed a song book. We waited quietly until a teacher sat at the piano and another one took the microphone, and lead us in song. We would stand to our feet and proudly sing various patriotic and old folk songs that have been sung for many generations.

There are as many excuses for not eating your fruits and vegetables as there are varieties to choose from. “They are too expensive.” “I don’t have the time.” “I don’t like the way they taste.” “They go bad too fast.” “My kids won’t eat them.” I could go on and on. My job is to provide tools and motivation to overcome these perceived obstacles. I hope to make eating your fruits and vegetables easy, fun, and an extra boost for your health.
