Nothing Tastes Better Than Home Cookin’
Who has a mother, grandmother, husband, aunt, sister, or brother (the list could go on) that makes the “best” (insert soul food word here)?! I venture to say that everyone has someone that makes the BEST something…right? I thought so.
Well I have a hankering for some comfort food and want to include the whole nation of Gables Residents to help me out. Send in your BEST known recipe for something that goes in a cast iron SKILLET! Post it, just tell us what it is, post a picture and hide the recipe to make me jealous…whatever you want!
While you are at it, check out these skillets in the shape of each state! FeLion Designs was on today’s Thrillist for the Nation, and well, it prompted this blog. Plus I thought it could be a cool gift idea for somebody. There is a state for everyone!

It’s So Easy!
When it comes to making eco-friendly changes, it’s the little ones that really add up to make a difference! Doing just a few things, a tiny contribution if you will, on this giant planet can actually help! It’s painless, really. Plus it’s just courteous – I mean, depending on how long earth stays in business, you might have some family members living on it. So, let’s help make it a little bit easier…for family! Cheers!
Pledge Here – it only takes a second. Well, maybe 20 seconds if I’m honest.
Did you know?
- Over 50 years, a single tree can generate $31,250 worth of air pollution control, recycle $37,500 worth of water, and control $31,500 worth of soil erosion.
- 4 Trillion…the number of non-degradable plastic bags used worldwide annually.
- 60 Minutes…every hour Americans throw out 2.5 million plastic bottles. (I go through like 5 a day! Time to buy a CUP!)
- 1 Light Bulb…if every American home replaced just one light bulb with an ENERGY STAR rated light bulb, we would save enough energy to light 3 million homes for a year, save about $600 million in annual energy costs, and prevent 9 billion pounds of greenhouse gas emissions per year… equivalent to the emissions of 800,000 cars.
- 5% Wasted…the small amount of energy that electronics use when they are off can add up! It’s estimated that 5% of electricity in the U.S. is wasted on products that are turned off.
Just sayin’…pledge with us! Pick one from the link above, but you can do all four if you want!

B.C.B.C…Short for Breast Cancer Buddy Check
Call your buddy this weekend! It’s Buddy Check time!
Today I am including a link from Caring.Com written by Melanie Haiken for you to read. It’s short, yet powerful, and gets right to the point. This particular article was actually written a few years ago, but the message is still the same – catch it early. It could save your life.
And just as we said last time:
Besides sending this to everyone you know as part of the obvious “Buddy System”, we encourage those of you who have personal stories to send them to us so that we can add them to OUR monthly blog. One instance shared could end up saving another person’s life. If you wish to tell your experience or the experience of someone close to you, email marketing@gables.com.
