This is Part 2 to my Super Bowl 60 experience yesterday,  which you can read.   Nothing much is happening around the world, so after football, I'll move on to Winter Olympics 2026 highlights, and top events of today. I left you after I had two (hot and cold) Chinatown Fortune  Cookie Martinis with fruits/yogurt for my Super Bowl breakfast.  Then came lunch.  As 15 Craigside gave away boiled peanuts and tortilla chips (plus Miller, but no Budweiser beer), I skipped the chinese roast duck and had these snacks with Bloody Mary and Bloody Maria. Then those tortilla chips were converted to nachos. Johnny Walker Blue Label on rocks for the game. One of my 15 Craigside Super Bowl pool numbers was 23, meaning if the total score of the Seahawks and Patriots added up to that number, I would win.  I purposely picked a low number, in fact, the lowest. of those competing.  Thus, if the final total was 23 or lower, I would win all the money.  At halftime, the s...

If you keep up with nutrition, a high fiber diet is generally recommended for a healthy life.  However, there are some who are advised to stick to a LOW-fiber diet.  These individuals usually have medical problems related to their bowels or following certain types of cancer treatment. What particularly confuses me is that  list to the left .  I thought asparagus, corn grits, lettuce and tomatoes had a lot fiber. But most of us are reasonably normal and are advised to maximize ( but see my comment on this term towards the end ) fiber input, for that diet will help you: Normalize bowel movements. Lower cholesterol levels. Control blood sugar levels. Aid in achieving a healthy weight. Increase longevity. There are two kinds of fibers--soluble and insoluble--and they both are good for you.  Simply, fiber is the indigestible part of plants and carbohydrates.  Men ( 38 grams/day ), because they are heavier, need more fiber than women ( 25 ounces/day ), and the am...
