IN HER 49TH YEAR

                   Who knew that it would take someone 49 years to finally figure out...

WHO THEY ARE?
WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE DOING?
HOW TO DO IT?
WHY THEY HAVE TO DO IT?
WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT!!

           Well that's me. It's amazing that all of those crazy ideas that I have had my entire life, that never seemed to work, have all come together to make a WHOLE idea! Weird huh?

I am going to be sharing my ideas, and designs as this plan unfolds, but be on the lookout for

Rhett's Radish, a retro redesign clothing store on Ebay, Etsy, Instagram, and Pinterest.

In this new year I will turn  50 years old. Why do I still feel 15?

This will be an exciting new beginning, so many plans, so much to do!

I can't wait!!!

SHE'S   B A C K !!!

         That's what I heard yesterday, whispered LITERALLY behind my back when I returned to class from being so sick with the FLU.

.....................That's right......I AM BACK!!!!!!!!!    don't you just hate a bully? 

     Well little did they know, I am like a PHOENIX rising from the ashes, and they better

                                                                                  

                                                              WATCH OUT!!!!

FLU

UGH! Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to have a stomach virus, strep throat, sinus infection, double inner ear infection, fever, chills and pneumonia all at one time? Well I can tell you now..... It feels like you were hit by a Mac Truck, and then they backed up and ran over you again and again and again, just like you were a snake on a hot summer road, that they were trying to squish with the mud grip tires on said Mac Truck....... UGH..... I feel sorry for myself. I don't think I will ever be well again....... just go ahead a squish me........UGH

sorry I'm still here

My THE most FAVORITE Coffee in the whole entire world!!

CAFE INDIO 

from Honduras Central America

     Independence day in Honduras is in July. Every year we would get up early and travel by bus to the town of Independecia to celebrate and see the parade, shop in the Mercado, and buy tons of handmade pottery. Afterwards we would all have a picnic at the local hot springs. Everyone would walk around the side of this mountain to get back into the woods where there were three springs in different degrees of hot water. The first would sometimes be hot enough to boil an egg. Not for the faint of heart let me assure you! Then the ponds would get cooler and cooler as they went down the hill. Hot water heaters are not a typical thing in our village, so to have a warm bath was quite the treat to my family and friends. The average temperature each day is around 105 degrees so it is ALWAYS hot there, so hot water heaters are not necessary. Anyway, this is not about hot water heaters!

      My first friend from our village, who was not a family member was named Gladys. After our trek back to the bus we were all so thirsty! She handed Edwin and me a cup of hot coffee! HOT COFFEE on a day that was at least 110 degrees! He said are you trying to kill us or what? She said drink it, it will cool you off! Well she was right! It did! We just had a fit about that coffee, it was so smooth, and tasted just like Good coffee smells YUM!! And it was called CAFE INDIO.

     Flash forward 20 years and I just can't stop thinking about that coffee. It was a staple in our home from that wonderful Independence day on, and I had missed it all those years I had been back in America. Then low and behold, on a fluke, I looked it up on Ebay! and found some!! YUM!!! Just as good as I remembered!!

     I will share a picture with you down below of the wonderful gift I received from my favorite English student. His name is Henry and he and his lovely family sent me a whole box last Christmas!

I will share that story later, it is a very sweet one!!

I hope that one day you too will get to try this wonderful coffee!!!!

ABOUT ME

     A little bit about me! I am on the Ketogenic diet. This is a version of the low carb diet, but instead of eating high protein, you eat high fat, moderate protein, and low carb. I started on January 30, 2015. It was very hard for me to give up the sugar!
SUGAR IS MY DRUG OF CHOICE!
SUGAR IS MY FRIEND!
SUGAR IS MY COMFORT IN TIMES OF STRESS!( and let's face it, my life is full of stress!)
 But anyway, I saw this YouTube video called Fooly Living, where this girl is like me and on this eating plan. So I tried it. At first I was doing very well, I didn't even cheat and have Birthday cake on my Birthday, but then we had a tragic event , and it went to hell in a hand-basket really fast!
     My daughter Bella was attacked by a stray cat, and had to be hospitalized with the threat of rabies, and had to undergo the rabies protocol. It was a horrible experience, one that I would not wish on my worst enemy! Thankfully she is ok now, and when things calmed down, I went back on my plan. I originally lost 55 pounds, but for some reason I decided to enjoy the summer, and put back on 20 pounds, so I am now working to get that back off!
     My goal is to loose 22 more pounds by my Birthday which is Feb. 5th. I still have a ways to go after that, but I am taking this one step at a time! Some days are good, some are bad. Really bad. But for the first time I know that I can get back on and really adapt quickly now, and that is such a great feeling! My body feels so much better when I don't eat sugar! I miss it, don't get me wrong, but I feel like I am not riding the Sugar dragon any more!
    I will be sharnig some of my keto recipes here on this blog, and some of the videos that I will be posting to explain the process.
 I hope you will watch, and enjoy!!
KETO ON!!
KETO STRONG!!!!

MINI JANE'S

     As you may know, I had to close my beloved Missouri Jane's Restaurant, about 3 years ago, due to the fact that my Mom had to go on life support, and we brought her home to spend her last days here. Well, what we thought would be only about a month turned into 3 YEARS going strong! Praise the LORD we still have Mama with us, and she is just as fiesty as ever!
    So now I have to come up with a new plan for my life! I can't reopen my restaurant, because the owner of the building no longer want to have a restaurant in there. So.....
I BOUGHT AN OLD AIRSTREAM!! And I am going to turn it into a mobile food cart! We are beginning to remodel it and do some repairs. That is our winter project, and I will try to post some before and after photos for you!

This is going to be called MINI JANE"S, and we will only be serving our FAMOUS quesadillas, chips, fresh salsa, and pink lemonade!

I hope that we can have a successful business. I know that it will be a lot of hard work, but I will be up to the challenge!

So STAY TUNED!!!
