I've never thought about salting oranges, must try that. <br />I'm praying for President Trump and his family and his team. The Inauguration was just awesome and I loved watching every minute of it. Mrs. Trump was so elegant in her beautiful blue ensemble! I loved, too, seeing them both reach for the other ones hand. <br />Lovely post, Vee, as always. You know I love visiting and would like to pull up a beach chair along side of yours for a nice long chat.

I love the islands just off of both Canadian coasts...PEI and Vancouver Island, but would have to choose Vancouver Island since it has many more good memories for me. I always throw salt into my water...for boiling pasta or veggies...just like my mother used to. Tomatoes need salt. I must say that I never ran yesterday...it definitely ran me. It was one of those days where I was thrown for a loop...one I will never forget. Praying for your new President and your country as well. :)Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/00929685771427155673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-90109182746662890912017-01-25T21:59:32.033-05:002017-01-25T21:59:32.033-05:00Loved all of this!

I salt much too much - prefer salty foods over sweets.<br /><br />I salt my water when boiling pasta - I married an Italian, it goes with the territory.<br />I cannot even think of eating fries or popcorn without salt. I like to salt eggs, too.<br /><br />I don't bury my head much - I am a headstrong Irish middle child in a big family and have learned it only makes things worse (for me) in the long run. I am always drawing lines in the sand though.<br /><br />Love your last one. Without saying I know we for sure feel the same way about the march and about our new President and his lovely wife. <br /><br />God bless!

Does it make the pasta more tender, or something like that? Taste better? I thought we were to salt the water to help it boil faster.
