The $70 Hotdog dinner :: A Whole Foods Story

Jessica Gordon Ryan May 27, 2015

We don't do it often but Memorial Day weekend seemed as good a time as any. Hot dogs for dinner. I don't particularly like hot dogs and I don't particularly like my kids to have them. But, truth be told I was kind of in the mood for them. I had a hankering for one in a baguette with mustard. Years and years ago, while strolling along the Champs Elysees, we snacked on this and it was so wonderful and delicious. It was served up to us in a hollowed out baguette with really good mustard. Everything about it was delicious. Or maybe strolling around the Champs Elysees made it so, but I doubt it. And so, because I had this hankering I decided we would have hot dogs for dinner. For more read here.

Nothing feels as good as peeling out of those drenched workout clothes! GUYS!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES? •

Life is short my friends. As many of you know (go see my last post) I lost a college friend to heart failure. The kindest girl with the greatest laugh and she leaves behind a 12 year old daughter. PLEASE take care of yourselves. One of the greatest things we can do is exercise. Get the heart pumping. Whether you run, walk, spin, play tennis... whatever it is. It’s so important. It’s not about how skinny you are or the size of your jeans. But quite literally the size and shape of your heart. Try to eliminate life’s stressors. Slow down. Eat well. Rest. And for God’s sake get moving! Please! 🙏🏻❤️

Life is so very short my friends... A couple of days ago a college friend passed away from  a cardiac arrest. She was 51 and leaves behind her 12 year old daughter, her husband, her sister and two brothers. •

Please take care of yourselves. Exercise, eat right, but go ahead and have the chocolates, take the trip and buy the damned shoes. 
RIP ABM... we’ll always remember your infectious smile and laughter 💕💕

Grateful for those who support... who stand by when the going gets tough. Grateful for those who are genuine and kind. Always caring. It’s easy to be charming until you get what you want. It’s not always so easy to remain charming when the good times cease ... to those who are true and always genuine I salute you and praise you and thank you. •
