Dining Out for Life

If you are in the Denver or Colorado Springs areas and are thinking of dining out sometime soon, I'd like to suggest that you do so tonight and before you go, pick one of the restaurants at which to dine from the link on the image above. By doing so, 25% of your food bill will go directly to help Project Angelheart, a local non-profit organization who's mission includes, "delivering nutritious meals to improve quality of life, at no cost, for those coping with life-threatening illnesses."

About ten years ago, my mom did some work with this organization as they were just gaining some notice in the Denver. She helped design an informational brochure for them and I even got to participate in some of the creative and layout processes! That's how I first knew about this organization.

Fortunately, I am not in need of Project Angel Heart's valuable services because I am not home or bed bound and although we already have friends and family preparing and bringing us meals on a regular basis, we do make our own dinners from time to time. In fact, last night, I came up with a great meal idea, got a simple recipe for cooking chicken breasts, prepped it all and then let Honey take over and cook it all! Yum! Delicious and nutritious! See here what we had last night:

Back to my original point of this post...if you live here, go on out tonight and treat yourself or you and your honey or you and your family to a dinner out on the town! We will be doing so right before seeing and hearing a presentation by Tom Robbins at the Tattered Cover! And while you and yours will be enjoying a tasty meal and a night off from your own kitchen, rest assured that your money will also be going to a great cause! Bon appetit!

If you would prefer to not contract the dreaded swine flu that's making our country crazy of late, here's a tip: WASH YOUR HANDS! Including but not limited to the following times:

* when you wake up in the morning
* when you arrive at your place of employment
* when you return home from going anywhere (work, outside, shopping, someone else's house, the post office)
* before you eat a meal (whether at home or out on the town)
* after you eat a meal
* after handling food of any kind, animals of any kind, and people of any kind
* before you crawl into bed at night

For over a year now, I've been washing my hands at all of the listed times and I haven't gotten sick once, not even when my Honey has been sniffling, sneezing and coughing around the house with his own cold symptoms. And keep in mind that my white blood cells are often quite low so I'm very susceptible to illnesses.
And maybe stay away from pigs for a while, too! Here's to your good health!
