Want to go for a bike ride? Or donate to a good cause?

I have registered to ride in the MS 150 series. It is a two day 150 mile (actually 169 mile in this case, but who is counting ;) ) bicycle ride to raise money for the MS society.

It is a good cause so if you would like to learn more about the ride (or a ride near you--it is a national series that I HIGHLY recommend!!!---or if you want to donate to them, why not do it through this link. :)

thanks in advance!!

Best new Product!--THomas Corn Bread

I am reluctant to even tell anyone about this since we have had difficulty keeping it on the shelves, but it is so good I could not keep it to myself!

Thomas' Corn Bread. WOW! Sliced corn bread. Great plain or for toasting (it is a "Toasting" bread). I have not yet had it as a sandwich (too valuable to waste!).

It is so new that I could not google it! and it is not on the firm's web site, but wow is it good!

I have not been as excited about a new product since Kellogg's Frosted Mini-Wheats Vanilla Creme!

Soyboy offers premium, all-natural organic tofu, organic tempeh, and soy products: Organic Tofu

I am have been very remiss for not mentioning this site sooner. It is the SoyBoy website.
For those of know me, I am a big fan of tofu and the best I have found (and the kind that we carry ;) ) is SoyBoy Organic Tofu. I have a package available at all times in the refrigerator.

Soyboy offers premium, all-natural organic tofu..../a>

They even have recipes! Although I like mine better! ;) Although I would like to try the vegan pumpkin pie!
