The Big BLOB Weight Loss Blog

About two months ago, due to the lack of any other TV content … I started watching America’s Got Talent. And, I’ve become a FAN.

What a diverse and interesting bunch of talented folks.

One of the groups that made it into the semi-finals was the GLAMAZONS … a group of 4 FAT gals who are changing the image of what Sexy and Fun is.

These gals come out on stage and are totally sexy and funny. All of the judges just love them and talk about how these gals are great role models. And great role models they are. They know what they want to do and they just go out and get it. Instead of trying to hide their weight, they flaunt it. They are proud of who they are and what they can do.

In one of their last acts they sand and danced to “It’s Raining Men” … I thought I’d just about crack up!! What fun. Hope to see them LIVE in concert some day, and I’ve no doubt that even through they’ve not made it to the finals, they will have a great run, maybe in Vegas or on the road!

Check out their website: The Glamazons

See them preforming for America’s Got Talent Aren’t they fabulous!!

A few months back I read this fascinating article about a woman who started up her own gourmet Sea-Salt Taffy company. She actually started it as a hobby learning how to make taffy and then experimenting with various ingredients to come up with the PERFECT sea-salt taffy. Then she started selling at markets and grew herself a nice little empire.

In the article she talked about her search for a good quality GREY sea salt. I had no idea what she was talking about, because my only experience with salt is … table salt, white sea salt and the course pickling salt my Grandmother used when making dill pickles.

So … I stumbled across this fabulous website that discusses all the different kinds of salts, shows fabulous photos and of course, sells the stuff.

Take a look, you’ll be as amazed as I was (am)! Gourmet Salt: Reference Guide

Of course, if you have high blood pressure, you’ve just got to stay away from salt. Don’t tempt yourself by visiting this site!!
