Me also, LA Woman.

That's why my old bagel breakfast was a bad idea and home baked bread would have been just as crummy. (Oh, I am such a wit!)

Also why I find the idea of a smoothie breakfast not for me, along with not finding calories I drink satiating, and why oatmeal plus fruit does not work unless I add protein powder and some kind of fat.

Higher fiber isn't enough to make it work for me for a meal if the carbs aren't paired with fat and protein. Fruit or veggies work fine as a snack.

We were definitely separated at birth and by the way, I love your kitty. I NEED to kiss that cat on the nose. Whether he wants same or not. Hey, I'm bigger than you, you WILL let me kiss you...At least that's what I always tell my cat. What's he gonna say about it? I mean I bring the food.

He'll accept kisses. He's super snuggly in the right mood. (And he thanks you!)

Washing your vegetables is sensible

But don't wash raw meat

Actually, I was always taught to rinse with fresh water certain raw meat (like whole chicken breasts). That could just have been something my family made up though lol.

Yeah they used to advise it ...now they say it just spreads bacteria so don't do it

Not sure if I could "not wash" my meat. I'll have to think about this...

Since I found out about the sink spray, I use a big bowl of water and sort of dunk it and rinse when I cook it for my husband. I can't not wash it. It's too slimy feeling.

I had no idea! I always wash off all my meats. Thanks for sharing.

I always wash my chicken. After plucking it just seems like they need it.

So I go back and forth on the washing of chicken thing. On the one hand, I do think cross contamination of cooking surfaces when washing is a problem (and not taking the step to wash and sanitize is a bonus) but on the other hand there are stories like this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/federal-eye/wp/2014/09/11/fecal-matter-mold-and-more-found-on-foster-farms-chickens/
