Oh tell me about it! Fresh fruit was my thing...peaches with the first one, oranges with the second, and melons with the third. Heaven help me when they went out of season! And a lot of things I normally enjoyed would make me sick to my stomach and were avoided at all costs. LOL

come on guys, stop it! Now I want some hushpuppies and some fruit! I don't even think I can get a hushpuppy anywhere near here.

Got a Long John Silver's anywhere in town? :P

Ooh I didn't know they have hushpuppies... I better call my husband at work! :D

If you think about it..those amazon women have it way worse off then any of us ladies do....if they can carry healthy babies to term out where there are parasites waiting for you to be their host around every corner.....we got it made.

WASH WASH WASH your hands like youve been doing...best advice I got.
Heck I work in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, thats our first rule!

LOL...it's a favored side-dish for sea food. A doughy kind of bread very similar to cornbread that is deep fried. Quite yummy and probably very fattening!

I have not had the pleasure of Captain D's hush puppies, but I'm sure they are delish! :P

It's not so much the cat being an issues as the risk of Toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is a parasite that can be transmitted to humans from cats (usually when cleaning the litter pan). Generally, it poses no risk to healthy humans, but it can cuase some birth defects in pregnant women.
