Thirteen things I learned about food this week!
1) Eating for your blood type makes a lot of sense!
2) Cooking for three different blood types is almost impossible!
3) Dirk, type O, should eat a very high protein diet with lots of red meat, no potatoes, and few grains.
4) Mom, type A, should eat a very high fish, fowl and veggie diet with no red meat or dairy at all.
5) Me, type AB, should eat a somewhat balanced diet with lots of fruit, some grains and a little meat, but no chicken only turkey.
6) Fondant flowers are harder to make than they look on tv. However, rolling fondant very thin and putting it on the cake is easier than it looks.
7) Fondant belongs to NO food group on earth, and no one can convience me it is edible!
8) Turkeys that you can defrost in the sink during the winter, go bad when defrosted overnight in the sink in the summer. A bad turkey smells awful!
9) Old fashioned recipes don't give cooking times or temperatures and so experimentation is an important tool! By the way a 'moderately hot' oven is about 375 degrees.
10) If you cut four melons in the morning, and put them in the fridge for the 'next couple of days' they will be gone by lunch time. Same thing goes for medium sized watermelons.
11) We go through 3-4 pounds of butter a week! And it is a no-no for type O and A!
12) Red snapper and Cod are beneficial for all blood types, they happen to be the only two proteins that are.
13) This little slide show on What the World Eats has really made me think long and hard about what my family eats in a week!

Yeah, the blood type diet really matches the food that makes me feel best (type 0). But, I'd really like to not eat cows :(.
It is so hard to accommodate everyone's diet in a family! I feel ya.
I hope the diet changes go well!!
