Breast Cancer, Olympic Torch,

Well today there is a lot of hoo ha about Mammograms, when should people have them, why they think its not as necessary as it used to be??? Several doctors on GMA weighed in on the other side and said women should proceed as they always have. The new recommendation suggests women should have far less screening than was the previous norm. If you would like to see the video and read the article click here. If you haven't heard anything about this, I highly recommend you do go to GMA and see what is being said. If you have never had a mammogram you should do so and not be put off by all the tales of pain. I did, for years and years and recently had my first mammogram, it didn't hurt at all. Right now, the Olympic Torch is being run around Canada. It is presently in the east and will gradually make its way west to Vancouver for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. All kinds of people are given the chance, selected by lottery I believe, to carry the torch for their province. Some of the runners will include well known people like hockey players. There is an interactive map of the route here which shows you where it currently is travelling and where it will be going. This recipe came from Eagle Brand and being chocolate, I couldn't resist it of course. Once again, I am not sure about 16 servings!!!!
