Now that Thanksgiving is over; Let the shopping begin

I’m just kidding, of course. Although in previous years, I did get up early (3:00am) to catch a few of those shopping bargains on Black Friday.

What I’m actually talking about is all of those turkey leftovers you probably have in your refrigerator. Because turkey takes so long to cook in the oven, it’s quite common for many of you to have purchased an extra large turkey just to have leftovers. I know I used to do this. The leftovers often make the best part of the holiday meal.

How about this delicious turkey sandwich, great for a quick lunch after a hard day’s shopping:

That being said, now, it’s probably time for everybody to do a little shopping, because

After all, it’s about a healthy lifestyle!

My children went to see the documentary at the theater. After watching this, they plan to improve their shopping even more. I will eventually see it at least when it comes to DVD so I can forward some animal slaughter parts... :(

Very powerful words, imagery, and message. I'm going to keep watching this. Great find Susana.
Great post! I clicked on the links and got even more information. I liked, "Focus on health, not diets" in one of them :)
