September Diabetes Class Invitation Response

Just emailing you to remind you about our upcoming classes. Thursday 9/6 at 6:00 p.m. - diabetes 101 Thursday 9/13 at 6:00 p.m. - healthy eating/cooking class Hope all is well, Landon Santaquin Pharmacy & Diabetes Center Myrna: Thank you! I really wanted to meet with the dietician. Will she be available on both of those evenings? Landon Hatfield wrote: As I told you on the telephone. She will not be. There is a diabetes class on Wed 9/5 covering physical activity if you're interested. Thanks. Myrna wrote: Thank you. I am not certain I am interested in that one. I will keep walking daily for 30 minutes which, each day, means I have to go farther because I am walking faster. I also garden and do stairs (lots and lots of stairs) but I have always done that or, at least, for the past 12 years. I also have worked Yoga into my routine. I will do Yoga as does one of my daughters in case of rain. I have a couple of DVDs. My daughter is very good at it and I can talk to her. I can usually walk here in Nephi even in the snow. The high school also has an indoor track. I am not worried about the activity now that I am converted to it. I have a tendency to be very OCD about making life-style changes when someone convinces me I need to do so. I am very hopeful of meeting with a registered dietician which has been of untold help to two of my daughters. Neither of them are diabetic but neither of them wants to be. I hope you can help me with that. On of the girl's dietitian (whom she sees monthly) figured out a diet plan for her and helped with the exchange program individualizing it to her. As I have been investigating what I should do, it appears that both BYU and UVSU have diabetics nutrition classes for credit. Of course, I would need to register and pay tuition. I am still angry with myself for using my hypothyroidism as an excuse to put on 20 pounds. I was just so tired all of the time. Weary. I was weary. I see an excellent doctor in Utah Valley for that problem but she did not excuse the weight gain and I should have listened. It took awhile to get the meds regulated but I seem to be doing well with that now. At any rate, thank you.

Henry John Lubbe

Husband
Name: Henry John Lubbe
Birth: 11 Oct 1879--Germany
Death: 30 Aug 1969--San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States of America
Wife:
Kunigunda Zahn
Born: 19 Jan 1889--Germany
Died: 27 Apr 1945--San Francisco, California

I actually have two problems. The first one is that in order to seal the above couple I have to have a marriage date. I can't find one. I thought that I might look it up in a newspaper but I can't find an online archive. I went to BYU and they do not have newspapers on film for the approximate time I need. He came to the US in 1903. They were married by 1910 when the first child was born, my uncle's sister. I should have asked more questions while people were alive. They may not have answered anyway. They were faithful Catholics, as are my cousins. We are going to seal my father to my mother and me to them. I thought while we were doing this we could also do the work for my dear aunts and uncles on my father's side. Then the thought came that we could also do work for the parents of my one uncle. There is where the problem comes. I can do the temple work for each of them but I cannot seal them. That seems sad because they were so devoted to each other.

The person that I cannot find is the father of Howard Alfred Hohnstein. I have a last name and an approximate birth date of 1892. I think he was born in Nebraska. Howard was born there on 30 Jan 1912. Howard died on 17 Jan in Santa Rosa, Sonoma, California. He was married to Wilma I Simmons. He was her second husband. She is buried in Brush, Colorado beside her first husband. She died in 1962.

It would help if I had a first name, right? I don't have one. He is my daughter-in-law's great-grandfather. I told her I would try and find the information for her because she is so wanting to be part of something. We have been doing genealogy in my family for generations and we have accumulated quite a bit. Not all, but quite a lot. (You are never done, right?) She knows nothing about her family. She would like to know, so I am working. At any rate, I thought I might find a printed obituary for Howard and that might give the names of his parents. That may be a start. Don't wear yourself out with this. I have spent countless fruitless hours with no result.

Thanks.

She did not give me her email address, but I gave her mine.

Vivian Carol Farlaino-Fivecoat wrote: My name is Vivian Fivecoat and I am a cousin to Neldon Trauntvien. His mom was my mom's sister. We gotta get connected. I want to start doing the genealogy... Please.

My home address is 430 Deepwood trail Clarksville TN 37042 for any paper stuff you have. My thought was to create a book with a picture and couple of pages of information on each relative I find.

Some family recommendations made by you reported me to Facebook. I almost lost my account but it's ok. I do have email: 1mimif@att.net. That is my email address. 

Myrna wrote: Family, would you please know that Vivian is not a terrible person but is a family member. She can be friended by all of you that I suggested. Thanks, M

My face is red and I am sorry!

Myrna wrote: I cannot believe that I emailed the recipe to Julie and asked her to have it there on SATURDAY instead of Friday. I am so sorry. Were you able to get something else to fill in? I hope that the party was a success and not a failure because of my mind disfunction. It just boggles my mind that I did that. I don't know how to do anything about it except to say that I am sorry. I will apologize to all when I get back. I will be there for our next shift (unless I am fired) and will be willing to tell everyone what a nut I was. I don't know what else I can even do about it except to say that I am so very sorry. Annette Morley wrote: Hi Myrna--It actually worked out just fine. We even had some of the meat Sister Carter made left over. Don't worry about it--and have a wonderful time! Love, Annette Myrna wrote: Thank you for letting me know! I have been so worried but there was not much I could do from here. I was hoping that one of you had made a quick run to Manti Market and purchased some already prepared pulled pork. Nevertheless, I have been so concerned that my son asked me to put it behind me and quit worrying out loud. I love you.

The definition of a reporter is a person who knows a great deal about very little and who goes on learning more and more about less and less, until finally he or she knows practically everything about nothing.
 

AnnMarie's pulled pork recipe

Super easy.

Sweet and tangy describe this mild, family-style BBQ pork. Start with a boneless shoulder roast or substitute a boneless loin roast for a lower fat BBQ.

Makes 10 servings.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on HIGH

INGREDIENTS
3 pounds boneless pork shoulder roast, trimmed
1 package McCormick® Slow Cookers BBQ Pulled Pork Seasoning Mix
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar

DIRECTIONS
1. Place pork in slow cooker.

2. Mix Seasoning Mix, ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar until blended. Pour over pork. Cover.

3. Cook 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on HIGH. Remove pork from slow cooker.

4. Shred pork, using 2 forks. Return pork to slow cooker. Mix and heat with sauce before serving. Serve on sandwich rolls, if desired.

Tips
Test Kitchen Tip: Use 3 pounds boneless pork loin roast in place of the pork shoulder roast.

Chokecherry

Kirsten wrote: So it wasn't a squaw berry.  doesn't look exactly like the chokecherry either.  But leaves are more similar to chokecherry.  It has a pit in the middle too. Kirsten

Myrna wrote: Maybe they are old chokecherries and most of them have been eaten. I can't tell from the photo if they have a stem that looks like that has happened or not. Ours usually stay a bit more clustered than the photo.

Reed's Tiger Muskie

Gordon Smith wrote: Todd, Reed and I went fishing at Pineview Reservoir. Reed caught this Tiger Muskie at Pineview Reservoir Friday August 10, 2012. The fish is thirty six inches long. Wow! We had a lot of fun. Maybe I will catch one next time. Todd caught one last year.

Myrna wrote: Congratulations to Reed. What a great fish! I'll bet it put up quite a fight.

That Hunter/Gatherer Idea AGAIN!

Melanie wrote: Funny...but, I don't fit the body type he suggests (I was over 7 pounds and I don't gain weight where he said I do)...therefore...do I get to eat from both hunter and gatherer types? I will hunt bread and eat it with my piece of steak!   :)

Have you tried every diet, yet it’s still impossible for you to shed that pooch around your midsection or lose the extra padding on your butt? Dr. Mark Liponis, author of The Hunter/Farmer Diet Solution, has spent decades figuring out how the right diet and exercises tailored for certain body types – namely a big belly or a big butt – can double your body’s ability to lose weight.

Dr. Liponis’ theory is backed by recent cutting-edge research revealed in Stanford University’s A to Z Weight Loss Study. It shows how people who put weight on around their bellies and those who carry their weight on their bottoms differ genetically in how their bodies respond to insulin and certain hormones, as well as how they metabolize carbs and fats.

 According to Dr. Liponis, understanding your body type is not as simple as just looking in the mirror. You need to ask yourself two key questions:

Puff Pancake

Lemon Puff Pancake with Berries‏
pancake
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
heaping 1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon melted butter
topping
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
confectioners' sugar (I don't use this)
fresh berries
tips from our bakers
If you're using a cast iron skillet, it should measure 9" across the top; its bottom diameter will be smaller. This recipe is easily doubled. If you don't have more than one skillet, use a combination of skillet and cake pan; or simply use two 8" round cake pans. 
directions
1) Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a 9" cast iron skillet, or 8" round cake pan. The size of the pan matters here, so measure carefully. Too small, it'll overflow. Too large, it won't puff as high.
2) Melt the butter in the skillet, or melt the butter and pour it into the cake pan.
3) Whisk together the flour and salt.
4) In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla, and eggs.
5) Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until fairly smooth; a few small lumps are OK. Stir in the melted butter, and pour the batter into the pan.
6) Bake the pancake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it's puffed and golden, with deeper brown patches.
5) Remove it from the oven, and sprinkle with the lemon juice, then the sugar.
6) Serve immediately, garnished with fresh berries.
7) Yield: 1 or 2 servings.
