On Wednesday, October the 4th.I went to Century Casino to enjoy a breakfast Like I have done many times in the past. Through the years, I have gotten to know all the waiters and waitresses who have ever worked or still work at Century Casino. Today I would like to Mention One waitress. She works very hard at her job and is very pleasant each time I come in. She gives me great service each and every time I come in. And that waitress is Elleene. I spoke to her a little bit more today and found out that she’s been working as a waitress for the past 40 years. And as she put it, she really loves her job. You can really tell by her actions and attitude that she really does. I’ve got to say that Century Casino Management is very fortunate to have such a professional waitress employed at their restaurant. She keeps me coming back for the smile and great service. And of course, the food.

Ten foods you should never eat if you want to live longer.
While there is no definitive list of foods you should never eat if you want to live longer, it is generally advisable to limit or avoid certain foods and dietary habits that can contribute to health problems. Remember that moderation is key, and occasional indulgence is usually not harmful. Here are ten types of foods and dietary habits to be cautious of:
Processed Meats: High consumption of processed meats like bacon, sausages, and hot dogs has been linked to an increased risk of cancer and heart disease due to their high sodium and preservative content.
Sugary Drinks: Sugary sodas, energy drinks, and fruit juices can contribute to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Opt for water, herbal tea, or unsweetened beverages instead.
Trans Fats: Artificial trans fats, often found in partially hydrogenated oils, are associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Check food labels for trans fats and avoid them.
Highly Processed Foods: Foods with a long list of artificial ingredients, preservatives, and additives often lack essential nutrients and can contribute to health problems. Focus on whole, unprocessed foods.
Excessive Salt (Sodium): Consuming too much salt can raise blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Be mindful of your sodium intake and limit high-sodium processed foods.
Added Sugars: Excessive sugar consumption has been linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. Minimize your intake of sugary snacks, desserts, and cereals.
Fried Foods: Deep-fried foods, especially when prepared in unhealthy oils, are high in unhealthy trans fats and can contribute to obesity and heart disease.
Alcohol in Excess: While moderate alcohol consumption may have some health benefits, excessive drinking can lead to liver disease, certain cancers, and other health issues. Limit alcohol intake to recommended guidelines.
Highly Refined Grains: Foods made with refined grains like white bread, white rice, and sugary cereals lack essential nutrients and fiber. Opt for whole grains for better nutrition.
Artificial Sweeteners: There is ongoing debate about the safety of artificial sweeteners. Some studies have raised concerns about their impact on metabolism and appetite regulation. It’s advisable to use them in moderation.
To live longer and healthier, focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Additionally, lifestyle factors like regular physical activity, stress management, and getting enough sleep play crucial roles in promoting longevity and well-being. Consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized dietary guidance tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Today I went to the Yellowhead Casino and had their breakfast. The total cost for the meal is $10.But I always leave a tip for the waitress. The chef who prepared my meal this morning goes by the name of Jackie. I must say he did a fantastic job, I really enjoyed it. And I have to say that I was there for breakfast earlier in the week because it was very good at that time too. So if you’re looking for a good breakfast in Edmonton. Head over to the Yellowhead Casino.
Here are the best tools for cutting up a raw chicken.
The best tools for cutting up a raw chicken would be a sharp chef’s knife or a poultry shears. My preferred tool is a cleaver. Just like the one below.
Meat cleaver.
A sharp chef’s knife can be used to cut through the chicken’s bones and meat with precision, while a good pair of poultry shears can be used to cut through bones and remove the backbone easily.
When using a knife or cleaver it’s important to use a thick strong cutting board and to make sure the chicken is held securely in place to prevent any accidents.
Strong, thick Cutting board
Additionally, make sure the knife or cleaver is sharp to avoid applying excessive force and reducing the risk of injury.
Here’s what the chickens look like after they’ve been cut up.

Always use caution when handling sharp knives and tools in the kitchen, and take the necessary safety precautions to protect yourself from harm. Remember dull cutting tools are a danger to you. Brought to you by foodedmonton.com
The length of time that meat lasts in the fridge can depend on several factors, such as the type of meat, the storage conditions, and the freshness of the meat when it was purchased. In general, it is recommended that raw meat be stored in the fridge at a temperature below 40°F (4°C) and be consumed within a few days. Here are some general guidelines:
Fresh beef, veal, pork, and lamb can be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Ground meat (beef, pork, veal, lamb) should be used within 1-2 days.
Poultry (chicken, turkey) should be used within 1-2 days.
Fish and seafood should be consumed within 1-2 days.
It is important to note that these are general guidelines, and you should always use your best judgment and rely on your senses to determine if the meat is still safe to eat. If the meat has an unusual odor, color, or texture, or if it appears slimy or sticky, it may have spoiled and should not be consumed. Additionally, if you are unsure about the freshness or safety of the meat, it is always better to err on the side of caution and discard it. Brought to you by foodedmonton.com

Eat a variety of nutrient-dense foods: Choose a balanced diet that includes a variety of nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. These foods are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that keep you feeling full and satisfied while helping you maintain a healthy weight.
Monitor portion sizes: Eating too much of any food can lead to weight gain, even if it’s healthy. Pay attention to portion sizes, especially when eating high-calorie foods like nuts, cheese, and avocado.
Avoid processed and high-sugar foods: Processed foods and high-sugar foods like candy, soda, and baked goods are often high in calories and low in nutrients. Instead, choose whole, unprocessed foods that are low in added sugars.
Drink plenty of water: Drinking water can help you feel full and stay hydrated. Aim for at least 8-10 cups of water a day and limit sugary drinks like soda and juice.
Eat slowly and mindfully: Eating slowly and mindfully can help you enjoy your food more and recognize when you are full. Try to savor each bite and avoid distractions like TV or smartphones while eating.
Plan and prepare meals in advance: Planning and preparing meals in advance can help you make healthier choices and avoid temptation. Try meal prepping on the weekends, or plan your meals for the week ahead.
Get regular exercise: Regular exercise is essential for weight management and overall health. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week.
Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate hunger and appetite, leading to weight gain. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night to help maintain a healthy weight.
Seek support: It can be challenging to maintain a healthy weight on your own. Seek support from friends, family, or a healthcare professional to help you stay on track and achieve your goals.
Remember, weight management and weight loss is a journey that takes time and effort. Focus on making small, sustainable changes to your diet and lifestyle, and celebrate your progress along the way.PS. I followed this guide and lost 45lbs.
