The only person I saw a response from on yesterday's thread was Jan. Is everyone else okay?
For today's article, I chose the following one.

The #1 Way to Eat More Vegetables, According to a Dietitian
We all know how beneficial vegetable are to our health but sometimes you need a little more motivation to munch them down. By making a tasty dressing for dipping and drizzling, you're guaranteed to eat way (way) more veggies.

Most of us have commented on which veggies we prefer and that it's not an issue for us to eat veggies. This article doesn't try to talk us into eating them; it points out ways of incorporating them into our daily intake of food. Included in the article are paragraphs about salads and salad dressings plus additional information about vegetables.
1. Did you learn anything new?
2. Do you have anything to add?
3. What's on your mind today?
4. Fun: what motivates you to go through your closet either to organize (or re-organize) or clear things out? (Bev mentioned her desire to downsize her belongings; that's what motivated me to ask this particular question.)

Yesterday, my internet was down all day. The company had turned it off, so that they could re-wire & add on some new houses. New houses ares sprouting up everywhere like mushrooms. It was off from about 8 am for the rest of the day. I also have my TV with them, so I couldn't even turn on the TV or catch the news. By the time they finally turned it back on, very late in the day, I was really getting frustrated.
I have never really thought about adding veggies to dressings, but that's not a bad idea.
I love almost all vegetables & I never have a problem getting enough of them in my diet. I pretty much prefer cooked vegetables over raw ones & they seem to be easier on my tummy. The weather her is cooler for the next few days, I will have to make a pot of vegetable soup or chili before the weekend is over. I will make a large pot & freeze individual portions for later.
After losing my husband last month, I realize just how much junk that we had actually accumulated over the years. The vast majority of it, is stuff that we haven't used in years. I am anxious to clean out & get rid of stuff that I no longer need. As I have gotten older, seems that I need less & less.

All's well here, just had a busy day. Holly, thanks for asking.
I'm more likely to turn to raw vegetables and dips/dressings instead of leafy greens and dressing, which is mentioned in the article.
I do agree that using a salad dressing that a person likes (and additions like dried fruits, nuts/seeds, other crunchy or savory things) will make or break a salad. I know the point is to make sure those tasty items are not too caloric, high in fat and so on.
Clearing out things - It's random for me. I cleared out work related things (such as clothing items I didn't need anymore) not long after I retired. Not long ago, I cleared out just general stuff from some storage shelves in the basement. Most of those items, I was able to donate to the thrift store.

1. Did you learn anything new?
* Not really...the link took me to salad dressings and I always make my own...some I have seen before and some were new
4. Fun: what motivates you to go through your closet either to organize (or re-organize) or clear things out? (Bev mentioned her desire to downsize her belongings; that's what motivated me to ask this particular question.) * Weight loss (most recent) * Joining a group on color and capsule wardrobes (organized by colors)
