Click It! Sunflower Seeds

Source

So my first question that I wanted to know the answer to: Is it okay to eat sunflower seed shells?

I had bought a pack of sunflower seeds last week, which I still have that little .59 cent pack contains a lot of seeds. It was fun absorbing the salt, cracking the seed, and eating the kernel. After a while though I kind of got tired of spitting out the shell pieces and wanted to just eat the entire seed. I tried it like twice, still cracked it and tried a piece trying to really chew it. It was a fail. That was taking too long to really disintegrate it enough for for swallowing. It contains sharp pieces.

I finally got around to Google-ing, even though I had already tried it.

Google It!

So thinking of adding a new feature to this blog called, 'Click It!' The title named based on a conversation with my mother. I, having asked my mom some question (I don't remember) and she told me to "click it." I was like, "you mean Google it?" She chuckled and said, "there are other things besides Google."

Lol, to me there really aren't. I prefer Google and especially with Google Chrome (which I also use) it's already built in.

I tend to search random inquiries that my mind seems to thirst the answers for, so these posts will be quite random. They may even answer questions that have come up in your head.

Let me know, do you have a favorite search engine that is not Google? Or even tell me why your favorite is Google, I would like to know. :)

Meatless in December

A Tomato (Basil I think?) veggie soup I had at LIJ caf after volunteering .

So, for the month of December I haven't been eating meat. It wasn't bad. Except early on (Dec. 3rd) I accidentally ate some from the samples in the mall food court (it was a force of habit and I realized on my second piece, felt sort of grossed out after. However, I just picked right back up and restarted so Jan. 4th I can eat meat again to make it one full month today (Jan. 3rd).

Throughout the month I wasn't bothered or tempted to eat meat as it is served throughout my house and there were days when it seemed more special like fried fish one night. Being that it was the holidays I guess my mother went in more, lol. I've decided to just eat meat as I see fit and eliminate red meats from my diet best as I can. I LOVE chicken and never thought I could change my diet to one without it, LOL.
