Edited to Add: my long posts are kinda like that Mindy Kaling commercial, where she ultimately comes to think she's invisible, and that no one can see her... and my ever receiving a reply is like the end of the commercial, where she's surprised(/startled) to find that someone sees her...
Thanks.. I'll admit to skipping ur posts a lot. Maybe its ur way of writing, but as a non native english speaker (not that this should be an excuse, cause my english is perfectly fine), I just have a hard time reading ur posts. You know how some books are just harder to read than others? Yeah..idk why, sorry, I'll try to make more of an effort from now on
I confess that I also skip your posts, since they are always soooo long and I only have so much time to waste at work. I, however, have nothing against you...just long posts.
While on the subject, there is one person (I will never tell) on this thread that I despise!
It's probably me - b/c I am not a Rider fan...
but I think we agree on a lot of other stuff! 0 -
I confess I don't log Ketchup. For no particular reason I just won't log it.0

I can't imagine. After one or two wears, my jeans are too loose to wear. I wash every piece of clothing, every time I wear it unless I only wore it for a couple of hours. Workout gear, I wash every time. I do re-use my towels, though.
This has become my issue right now. I used to go a week or so wearing the same jeans.0 -
I went to pizza hut last week and ate a full margharita pizza to myself, no breaks. As well as pasta as a side.0

Uh...like bacon? LOL It doesn't taste like turkey, but it has a different texture than regular bacon for sure. It's much firmer and doesn't really get crispy. Try it!
But not really. I have decided that it's not worth the few calories I save. Life is too short!
This is the truest statement I've heard in quite some time! I feel 100% the same way. I'll save calories somewhere else. When I want bacon, I want BACON!
My husband makes the BEST homemade whipped cream I've EVER tasted. He refuses to buy Cool Whip. And I can't even remember the last time I bought margarine. It's nothing but the real stuff in our house.
But does he *churn* the butter -- ? Because if he's willing to *make* homemade whipped cream, and refuses to buy/stomach/condone margarine, then the *least* he could do is *make* 'homemade' butter... (if not, he's simply not 'on board' with homemade, or 'keepin' it real', and has from this day forth relinquished his right to listen to the theme song of RealStuff-idians the world over... ("ain't nothin' but the real thing, baby... ain't nothin' but the reeeeal thing..." (with apologies to Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell )))...
Oh, wait... I just checked details of the relevant "Behind The Song" specifics, at americansongwriter.com, and (what are the odds?!)... as it turns out, that 1960s classic that I just began (type-)'singing', mere moments ago, was actually inspired by a woman whose husband made homemade whipped cream (!), and who steadfastly defended their right to eat real butter -- though (and this is the kicker) no mention is made of said husband actually *churning* the butter... and thus... I think we can let your husband off the hook...
P.S. Not long ago, I race-read caught up on the thread... and while there are several posts I want to reply to, I felt compelled to quickly address the almighty Non-Churned Butter Conspiracy (a MoHousdon-ian gem... ), what with its being such a pressing(/churning) matter of importance... ;P 0 -

This is really good to know that I am not alone in this. I will eat entire bags of things if they are in my house. I can not have chips, sweets, or anything of that sort in my house or I will eat it all.

I've always wished I could re-wear the same jeans but I can't stand the wrinkles behind the knees and at the thighs that jeans get frome when you wear them. I'm a wash after every time I wear kind of gal

You did NOT just link that! I didn't need a visual. *drool
Were you drooling at the cowboy in the background or the little fruit filled wontons?
The food, of course! I'm not a cowboy type. I'm a Dwayne "The Rock' Johnson type.

Let me assure you that if you use the term "bang", you could look like Jesse Williams and women would still avoid you. This isn't a judgement...it's a sad fact.
Not judging, but totally creeped me out. Makes me want to re-think trying to get that sexy body.0 -

Good luck! You can do it. At least they can't see how nervous you are when you're on the phone. Be confident.0 -
Confession: I'm more self-conscious about my ginormous forehead than I am about being morbidly obese. Don't get me wrong, I hate the excess weight and am diligently working on losing it, but...my forehead makes me feel like a freak of nature.
I have a ginormous forehead too...and I have a really whacky brain surgery scar under the skin on my forehead that makes a very unattractive lump. One of the surgical screws holding my head together sticks out a bit. When I get down to around my current weight, it starts to show a lot more.
So...things could be freakier!
The weird part is that most people don't even seem to notice. When I mention that I've had brain surgery, people act surprised. Apparently the only person who notices my forehead is me. 0 -
I have a lot of embarrassing things lol. I like to get naked and stand in front of the mirror and suck in while holding my stomach up so I can see what I look like skinny... LOL.
I also lie to my nutritionist/doctor about not drinking coffee and not eating potatoes... I drink coffee and do eat potatoes...
And I like to do the math over and over and over again to make sure how many calories I'm eating and how many I'm burning is correct for the amount of weight I want to lose, I mean I will do this like 8 times a day. Then I get sad because of how much I have left to lose and eat a spoonful of peanut butter at 3am while watching my 600 pound life.0 -

I usually go for the real instead of a substitute, but I really do prefer turkey bacon. It's always a mess to cook regular (albeit delicious) bacon and when I order it out, it's usually all floppy and super gross.
Hubby and I ate turkey bacon for quite some time due to it being less greasy. To treat ourselves, we bought the real stuff (a nice applewood smoked thick slice) and I forgot how good the real stuff was. We've now switched back to real bacon and I have been experimenting with different cooking methods. I lined the inside and top of a broiler pan with tin foil and cut small slits in the top layer for the grease to drip into the bottom of the pan and placed it in the oven. It cooked it nice & crispy but was still a mess w/ the tin foil. Last week I made a little packet w/ double layer tin foil and laid the bacon inside. I closed up the packet and used a fork to poke holes on either side and the put in on the BBQ. the first time I did it, the heat was too high and I burned it, the second time I tried it, i lowered the heat and it worked perfectly! the little holes allow the grease to drip out slowly and you get nice crispy bacon. You have to make sure the flames aren't too high otherwise it can start a fire and you just need to keep an eye on it. once it was done, I just put the bacon on some paper towel and left the tin foil on the BBQ to let the remaining grease cool & harden - then through it all way.
This only works if you don't save the bacon grease for other cooking. I would like to but hubby thinks it's disgusting.
A grill with a drip pan works great, I can do bacon on my Traeger by just throwing it on the rack.
We are going to be buying one next time we are in the States - they are way to expensive in Canada. We had a Bradley smoker which worked okay but we both like the concept of the Traeger more.
Don't tell my hubby, but I'm getting him a Traeger for Father's Day. Maybe I'll cook him some real bacon on it.
@quiksylver296 Don't waste your money on a Traeger. Go for a Green Mountain instead. Here's a link to buy one from a company with outstanding customer service.
www.Waltonsinc.com
Not sure why the link didn't work but trust me.

This... is such a foreign 'concept'...and in reading of its existence, feels as though I've just learned that some previously-understood, unwritten 'rule', about something 'fundamental' in the universe, has just been discovered to be false... (guess what? -- it turns out you *can* divide by zero!... <--- you might as well have just 'announced' *that*, the utter shockwave-inducing consequence of finding out that jujubes have now had a 'hey, you got jujubes in my chocolate!', Reese's-like 'big bang' moment, was *that* stunning (and summarily shattered my previous understanding of what would constitute viable 'chocolate-coverable, candy concoction compatibility complexes (jujubes and chocolate...?...! -- it's almost 'sci-fi' -like, it's so 'otherworldly'...! ))...
ythannah, I'm a fan of chocolate, and have historically been a fan of jujubes... but I'm gonna 'need a moment' to let this one sink in...
There was entirely too much bacon in this thread, IMHO. It needed another injection of chocolate.
It's funny you mention that, because something I thought, but somehow refrained from conveying (perhaps I received a telepathic signal from you? :P ), was that the only way to make those chocolate covered jujubes any better would be to wrap them in bacon...! (I'm not kidding -- that actually crossed my mind... )
(An associated reality, however, would be the likely subsequent need to freaking toothpick-ize them, and *that's* not gonna happen (unless they're served as appetizers at some party for which the attendees are prepared to 'expect the unexpected' (though it still might warrant having them sign liability waivers, what with the pending shock being of such non-trivial 'magnitude' ))...
I read your posts, but I don't have time to reply to everything. Although I'm wondering why 2 of your posts on an earlier page were flagged??? Any idea why?

@AgentOrangeJuice I have skipped every single one. I don't have time to read a novel every time when I have 5-10 pages to catch up on. Sorry.

If anyone remembers my confession about Restaurant Manager that wants to buy cakes when we have 3 full time bakers. Well he's been pretty short/crappy with me ever since he had to make a quarter sheet cake. He went so far as to duck behind a wall thinking I didn't see him, one day.
He called me on my cell phone yesterday while I was out at lunch and when I answered I said
"This is my personal cellphone, call me back on my office line."
He made an exasperated noise and hung up.
He calls back 10 seconds later, "you're not in the office."
I said " I know, I'm at lunch, talk to you later."

Confession: I did not pack a proper lunch today so I was reduced to eating Greek yogurt for lunch. Because I just need to have something crunchy sometimes, I bought a package of cheddar cheese crackers from my work vending machine. One of the crackers is pretty much crumbs. This makes me a lot sadder than I care to admit.0

Hahahahaha. You are awesome.
That reminds me of when I worked in a pretty hyped bakery with great reviews and a (pain in the ***) chef who prided himself in making everything from scratch... until I found out that some of his products he actually bought frozen from somewhere else and used a mix for his cakes. I don't quite trust 'homemade' things now...

What's wrong with coffee and potatoes? I suppose what you put in the coffee and on the potatoes (baked and loaded with butter & sour cream) or fried into french fries makes a difference. Just nosy, really. I personally do not eat peanut butter, but I can assure you you are not the only one that eats it by the spoonful. Baby steps - keep moving forward and celebrate your progress!0
