Be careful with those online bingos. Across the state of Texas we have seen an increase on online bingos, loterias, and games of chance being facilitated on social media platforms. Did you know that Texas gives out half a billion dollars statewide to charities every year? Much like everything else in 2020, the bingo industry got hit incredibly hard and that meant that charities went without donations for quite some time due to local and state regulations in slowing down the spread of coronavirus. When people were at home, online games began being played. “So people started looking for alternative things and one of those alternative things is that we found is online Facebook games,” says Tom Stewart, Executive Director, Texas Charity Advocates. “You start into that whatever for it may be, particularly from illegal competition that puts a squeeze on those local charities, and it diminishes the value that they can have and provide in local communities all across Texas,” says Stewart. The Charitable BIngo Operations Division is reviewing cases that pertain to online bingo. The commission also says the law does not allow for bingo to be conducted online and unlicensed bingo is considered a felony. Bingo officials are saying there is now an effort statewide by lobbying groups to reach out to Facebook & the Texas Lottery Commission to try and get a handle on the illegal problem.

Well that’s one way to try to catch B I GFOOT Usually state legislative seasons bring out some rather interesting legislative decisions from state elected officials and of course 2021 wouldn’t be any different. Oklahoma State Representative Justin Humphrey has decided to tackle the infamous boogieman of Bigfoot this legislative season. You know Bigfoot, the ape-like creature that has been sought after for decades. Representative Humphrey’s district includes the densely forested Ouachita Mountains (in Southeast Oklahoma) that hosts a Bigfoot festival every year. He’s hoping that through this, issuing a state hunting license and tag that could help boost tourism, an industry that was hit terribly hard in 2020 worldwide. He’s hoping that by establishing this as an actual hunting season, people who want to hunt Bigfoot will be drawn to the region that borders Arkansas. The bill would only allow for the trapping of Bigfoot and hopes to secure a $25,000.00 bounty. The spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, Micah Holmes, oversees hunting in Oklahoma and told TV station KOCO that the agency only science-driven research and does not recognize Bigfoot as registered wildlife.

MODERN MOM

Who is busier then moms? Nutrition is important, but many of us - me included - do not make the best choices when it comes to giving thought to what we put in our bodies when we are rushing through our day. The most common reasons why both men and women don’t eat healthy are preparation time and willpower. Quick and easy is generally what we go towards in our gogo-go lifestyles. It is easier to grab a granola bar as we walk out the door, than start cutting up an apple. But, did you know that not all granola bars are created equal? So, what can we do to make sure we fuel our bodies a little bit better, and it not be too complicated?

Plan (At Least Some) Meals.

Life is easier if you know, even a little bit planned out, what you’re making for dinner. Help yourself and take 5-10 minutes on the weekend to jot down some ideas of what your family might like to eat. This is especially useful if you have social plans, like a date with your best friend at a bingo hall. You can pick-up beef broth you need if you plan to make stew. You are more likely to defrost meat you have been keeping in the freezer if you know that you’re eating tacos for dinner. Turn on the crockpot in the morning so your evening runs smoother!

Always Have Eggs. Eggs are a great source of protein and are very quick to make. Seriously, whipping up some scrambled eggs is much faster than cooking pasta or ordering (and then waiting for!) pizza. There is nothing wrong with eating “breakfast” for dinner, it’s a warm and healthy meal that’s done in a matter of minutes. Steam some frozen veggies in the microwave and pat yourself on the back!

THE BINGO NUGGET // MARCH 2021

Cook Once, Eat Twice. Over cook. If you can, always over cook. What does over cook mean? No not burning your food or making it mushy, but batch cooking to where you make double the amount of food so you can save for a meal the next day. Throwing some vegetables in the oven? Great, cut up more. Making a stew in the slow cooker? Wonderful, make way too much. Now, this may be a hard thing to do if you are feeding a large family. Obviously, the more people you have, the fewer the leftovers. But, see if you can do something to help yourself. Can you fit another pan of roasted vegetables on the lower rack?

Pack You Lunch The Night Before. Now, speaking of that dinner that makes two meals… Well done, you! Let’s use that now. Pack your leftovers in a lunch sized portion for all family members the night before. This will not only save you money (no need to buy Whataburger tomorrow during the lunch break), but whatever you made is probably much better for you than any kind of meal you would normally pick up at lunch.

If You Are Trying to Lose Weight, Look at the Caloric Density of Foods. Both grapes and raisins are a pretty healthy snack, but raisins pack a lot of calories and sugar in a really small package! That’s a great boost of energy for kids, but if you are an adult, especially if you are trying to drop a couple of pounds, not the best choice. Buy yourself some grapes and keep a bowl of washed (and dried) grapes in the fridge. When you feel hungry, go grab those. Reach for a bag of mini carrots instead of almonds!

Pick Your Snacks Before You’re Hungry & Keep a Snack in the Car. You know how they say one should not go to the store hungry? Well, that’s totally true. Sit down and look at what you normally grab for a snack. Don’t eliminate it entirely if you decide it’s not as healthy as you would like it to be. Look for a way to improve it. For example, if you like granola bars, maybe buy a more healthy kind, like a Lara bar. Being hungry and in a hurry is bad enough when you are at home, but it is even worse if you are out of the house! Many fast food options are available, but few are healthy and even if they do have a healthy option… well let’s just say nobody goes to McDonald’s for salads, don’t they? Help yourself by planning ahead and keeping a snack in the car.

Be Mindful of Your Eating. You feel like eating that hamburger with fries, don’t you? Realize what your body wants, give it what it is asking for and see how you feel. Once we start listening to our body and taking note of how certain foods affect us, we usually realize that what we need and what we want are not the same things. And once we realize that, it is easy to decide to pick what we actually need more often than what we want. Maybe you have a friend that will share a portion of french fries from the snack bar with you, and then you can also add a salad to that order. Win-win!

MARCH IS NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH

National Nutrition Month® is an annual nutrition education and information campaign created by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. It’s celebrated every year during the month of March, and it focuses on promoting informed food choices, and developing sound eating and physical activity habits! Risk factors for many chronic diseases can begin early in life. But evidence shows that making dietary and lifestyle changes may prevent disease progression and premature death. The combination of physical activity and nutrition can help reduce the rates of chronic disease and death. Poor diet and physical inactivity are major contributors to disabilities related to diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and stroke. •

Physical inactivity poses almost as much risk for heart disease as cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Instead of limiting yourself or restricting your diet, focus on filling it with vegetables, fruits,

whole grains, healthy fats, and lean protein foods. •

Some things to remember: focus on variety, amount, and nutrition; choose food/ beverages with less saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars; start with small changes to build healthier eating styles.

Sweet Pisces you’re trying so hard. So very hard to figure things out and for some reason it’s just not working out in your favor. Do yourself a favor, take things as they come. Be calm as things begin to go by and things will improve. You’re going to have to face your future and you want to go in glowing and with energy.

Oh man, Spring is not turning up flowers so far for you. Be cautious of the actions and words that you put out to the world this month. You’re going to be coming out fiercely hot and you could be putting more fire on something that is much smaller than you believed it to be. Love will be in the air at the end of the month.

It’s time to get back out there, well safely. You’re ready to meet new people in your world. You’re truly missing people in your life and want to bring more in your social circle, which is incredibly easy for you to do with your amazing personality. Your health and family are doing very well this month.

It’s time to load up the calendar because you have people to see this month. Whether you’re doing it digitally through Zoom with friends that you haven’t seen in a while due to distance or you’re attending socially distanced events, your personality is thriving with excitement. Hey single people Cupid is late and is ready for you.

2021 has been a stellar year so far and you’re ending the 1st quarter with a pop. Professionally you’ve done so well for yourself. However your social life will be switching gears. Don’t be afraid to close doors with people that no longer have a place in your new world. The weight of the relationship can no longer keep you down.

No matter how much you want to make things work, sometimes it’s just better to stay in your own space and not let others in on your plans. If you’re in a relationship, please remember to keep communication lines open. This is a very vulnerable time for you and you don’t need to go at life alone. Make sure to have relaxation as part of your lifestyle.

Let’s do this Virgo! It’s time to get that long awaited love interest going. All you single people, it is time to get back into the love zone. Married people, this is just such a blissful time for you. You’re both connecting well, things are just going so smooth. You will probably want to wish you could capture this moment and jar it, take up journaling.

Venus and Mars are ready to party and they’re ready to dance in your world. It’s time to make your love life as passionate as you have always wanted it to be. You have lots of dynamic connections coming your way. Family life has never been better and your health is on the rise. Take in this month to truly enjoy the changes of the season.

Your career may have caused some wrinkles in your relationships, friends or family, in the past. That is not the case at all this month. You have a dynamic force that’s truly keeping everyone ready to help you out when you need. Take a mini vacation this month, stay safe while doing it. The little get-away is just enough to recharge your soul.

Sometimes life is just like walking a tightrope for you. At times you can feel like you got everything going and you don’t need to hold on tight for balance while others you’re just holding on for dear life. Unfortunately this month you’re grasping on; breathe in, breathe out. Stay the course and it’s ok if changes come your way, you’ll be ready if you take time.

This is the best time to take up a new project, dear Capricorn. However, you will need to ensure the stress of this new project doesn’t get to you. Your attitude will unfortunately be an issue to a lot of people and you’re going to need these people when you come out of this month. Keep a high focus on your family in order to stay grounded.

Family - love them but man sometimes they get on your nerves, am I right? Well this is exactly how you’re going to be feeling this month. Your family relationships are going to be the root of most of your stresses. Thankfully your finances are in check. Just do yourself a favor, don’t go off having a planned trip. Stay home and focus on the near and stable.

THINK YOURSELF TO HEALTH

Sitting in silence can lead to health. Sounds a bit crazy, right? The idea of meditating can sound a bit easy at first, just sitting in silence for 5-10 minutes, but it’s a lot easier to say than to do for many. The idea of meditating can be a bit daunting but now is the perfect time to make a “practice” out of it. Just like eating a well balanced diet and exercise, exercising your mental system through slowing down is just as vital. We’re not here to throw another task your way but even research has shown that cutting through the mental mess and focusing for just a few breaths can help decrease stress and anxiety, slow aging, and improves your attention span. What? By breathing? Yes, and it can also act as a sleep aid. Are you sold yet? Meditation isn’t about getting rid of your thoughts or feelings, but it’s about slowing down the process and being able to look at them from a different view. It’s about developing a relationship with our thoughts. Think about your mind like a highway. The things you read, the websites you go through or social media that you frequent, your mind becomes fixed on it. Now a year into a pandemic, you’re probably beginning to think what if life doesn’t return to normal? Meditation is a great tool to get you to see what is happening right now in the present rather than waiting for the future or thinking about the past. Difficult things will arise and when they do, you’ll have the tools to figure out how to add them to your life as it currently sits. Mindfulness even gives you the tools to assist with nutrition. Rather than eat food quickly, to actually take the time to eat the food that was prepared and truly honor the work of the person that prepared it (honor yourself!).

We’ve been coming here for sushi since 2011...we’ve gone to other places here and there, but always compare them to Goro, and for us, nothing else compares! I can get my favorite roll, even though it’s not on the menu anymore, and the service is always top-notch! The quarantine life hasn’t changed our cravings for sushi, so we’ve been supporting our favorite sushi place. Thanks, Goro, for making this time a little easier to handle!

I’m here visiting Corpus Christi and have tried several restaurants in the area. I wouldn’t call this place a foodie town per se, as there haven’t been any restaurants yet that have blown me away. Aka sushi downtown however is a fantastic spot. It has a great ambience and it’s apparent the owner is highly prideful and invested in his business. I ordered the miso soup, spicy salmon roll, fried rice, and 3 different sashimis: fatty tuna, salmon, and red snapper. All were delicious and the presentation was on point. Perfect spot for any occasion. Highly recommend! 5 stars.
