By the way, that cheesecake looks amazing! I'm hoping to get to the point I can make cheesecake, but it's still a bit intimidating lol
Also, sorry for the multiple posts. I'm trying to do my part to reach 2,000 but it makes it look like I'm just really chatty lol
Oh, and as for the cheesecake, it took me forever to get up the guts to bake cheesecake. Somehow it's one of the most intimidating desserts! A good friend who's an avid baker told me to just do a "starter" cheesecake with a pre-made Keebler crumb crust, cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. And that once I saw how easy THAT one was, I'd be ready to make a "proper" cheesecake.
What I did discover, through a few fails, is that even when your cheesecake turns out totally hideous, all that cream cheese and sugar means that it will still taste amazing! Just don't take any pictures of it.
I made one once. It didn't set. It was so weird. It just stayed like liquid. I froze it and mixed it in with the crust and ate it that way. It tasted okay because like you said, what can go wrong with taste wise with those ingredients?0 -

Seconded! I may need a snack....
Oh no! @Susieq_1994 and I have used our foodie powers for evil! XD
Oh dear. EVERYONE VISUALIZE SOGGY VEGETABLES.
But seriously. Last time I tried to make a sauteed veggie side, I overcooked AND oversalted it and I got this horrible salty soggy pile of mushy stuff. Does everyone still feel hungry?!
Just the term mushy vegetables turns me off. Ick. Not sure as I am reading backwards what this is leading back to...
It started with cheesecake, and I'm blaming Tami!
Uh...you and @LenGray were talking about food way before the cheesecake!
I know. But food pictures are way more appetizing than just TALKING about food, and that cheesecake picture was obviously your fault.

A baked one or a non-baked one? If baked, maybe you didn't use enough eggs. If non-baked, not enough gelatin maybe? Having it not set would be very odd!0 -

Happy Thursday. I am ready for 2016 to be done. Tired of losing people this year. My girlfriend lost her dad just a few days before Christmas and he was only 56. We never know when our time will be, so love fiercely and often.
On a brighter note, I have signed up along with several of us to do the 2017 in 2017 challenge. I know with all of us on the team we will reach our goal. This will be one of the motivating factors in my getting back to exercise.
I love the "love fiercely and often" I am a true believer in living each day as if it is your last. No regrets!
Where is this 2017 challenge?
We found it through facebook, but I am sure you could probably google it and find it.
oooh join us! https://runtheedge.com/runtheyear2017/
I did 2016 but gave up logging in like March. Having other folks do it too will help hold me accountable.2 -

It's pre-logged, thankfully. I have to do that any time I come on the forums because I almost always end up in a foodie thread. I can't speak for @quiksylver296, though.
I somehow get sucked into those "What did you have for [insert meal here] today?" threads ALL. THE. TIME. I'm way too interested in food. To the detriment of my figure, usually.
I always end up there. It's so bad. Then I'm like "Hmm...what [whoever] had for lunch looks delicious, I'm going to have that tonight!" and I rarely have the calories left for it.
I look at them and think they look delicious, but then I'm too lazy for that kind of effort and I make a sandwich.
Same lol0 -

I tried it last spring and got shin splints so badly that I cried for about a week. ^_^; Then, I had a neighbor of mine tell me that I looked hilarious trying to run and I abandoned the proverbial ship.
I probably wouldn't bother except that I know that I love to run when I'm in shape Hopefully I'll be able to stick to it this time!
Ooh, bummer. I've never had shin splints, but I've heard they are killer. As for the neighbor...I have some words I won't post.
I'd never had them until last spring and they were brutal! I was pushing myself too hard though. I'd completely lost control of my gait and breath and was still pushing, which I knew was a bad idea.
Yeah...I don't talk to that neighbor anymore. Thankfully, I've reached the point where I've realized that that comment was about more about them than me.2 -
It stinks to have to work late and then have a flat. I had to look up run flats. I like the idea a lot. I guess that you don't have to carry a spare then. I'm glad you got home.kelly_c_77 wrote: »
Yeah. And because they are run flats no one had them in stock. But luckily because they are run flats I made it home. And hopefully can make it back to car place tomorrow after they order the tire.
Yep, and my car doesn't have a spare so I am grateful for the run flats. I made it home and back to the car place yesterday so like 50 miles and no damage to the rim, no getting towed, no getting stuck on the side of the road.6 -

Well, next time they say anything mean like that, just yell "GAH!" at them and go on being your awesome self!
^ Yelling "GAH!" at people is my new favorite pastime. It comes from a silly kids' series where this policeman with an anger management problem is always turning purple and yelling it.
I love to run when I'm lighter, myself. But I'm talking a dead sprint, it makes me feel like I'm flying! I don't get to do that anymore, way too heavy for that sort of thing.
Hehe, imagining a policeman saying that just makes me think of the policemen on The Beatles 'Yellow Submarine'.
Sprinting is amazing, isn't it? ^_^ That was what drew me to running in the first place.1 -

Non bake. I had to grate orange rinds and everything. Put it in fridge and it was just water. So odd. I am sure I forgot something. It was a lot of work for ice and crust. 0 -

I'm a bit nervous because it'll mean that I'm lifting weights 3x/week and jogging 3x/week, but I really want to run again and feel as though my fitness level is up for it. That, and I think it would be great to see my dad waiting for me at the finish line of my first 5k
Like every week I say I'm going to start C25K. Downloaded the app and everything. My treadmill probably cries itself to sleep at night due to loneliness and neglect.
I think you should! And I think you should join us for the 2017 in 2017 challenge. Even if you don't join online you could just track mileage with the rest of us!
Sounds interesting, what's it about? Even without C25K I get around 18,000 steps a day on average, so I think I rack up a good bit of mileage!
check out the link. Come on, it will be fun for all of us to do it!2 -
Thanks! It looks pretty cool. I don't know if that would be a this year thing, but I'll probably try it at some point. If you'd like an accountability buddy though, I'd be happy to volunteer! We can do our own challenges then we commiserate encourage each other and post our mileage 1 -

Spaghetti sounds awesome! I'm taking some chicken stew, a quesadilla, and some cake to work.
Honestly, quesadillas are like the ultimate lazy sandwich for me lol I make one or two batches and then just stuff my face with them the rest of the week.0 -

Maybe you used spreadable cheese instead of solid cream cheese? I did that accidentally the last time I tried to make a cream-cheese based pie, and it was basically like a thin custard, didn't set at all.0 -

I do that with wraps, so basically the same thing. I bake a kilo of chicken breast every week, slice them into strips and divide into ten equal servings of 100g each. Then I put them in tortilla wraps with either pizza sauce/cheese/pizza-like veggies (bell pepper, mushroom, olives, etc) or with hummus and veggies. Then I throw them on my panini press and voila! A meal in like five minutes. 4
