    I think I want to try my first extended fast at the beginning of the month. Any advice? I am thinking 48 hours.

    My biggest problem personally is the mental aspect...so find something satisfying (for me it's "black" hot tea of various flavors) and keep busy...other than that, it's just putting your mind to it! :)

    Also break down the concept - it's 48 hours, yes, but ALSO it's only missing 1 individual meal...and we're used to that, so easy peesy!

    Those quesadillas look incredible! So glad I ate already!

    An aside, I cannot hear or read the word "quesadillas" without thinking about Napoleon Dynamite and that freaking llama, Tina. Lmao

    Those Quesadillas look scrumptious. What tortilla did you use?

    Just standard run of the mill medium flour ones...the key to getting them crispy is cooking spray instead of butter, and going LOW AND SLOW...if you try to rush it they'll mush right up on ya ;)

    Thanks, they sure look good. Good tip with the cooking spray, I would have tried butter for sure.

    I'm normally all about the butter but in this case, cooking spray reigns supreme! LOL

    OMG quesadillias!! <3 I'm going to have to re-watch Napoleon Dynamite now - I have no memory of a llama! Or any of the movie for that matter... Maybe I've not even seen it... Hmmm....

    Lol, unless you hated it, you probably haven't seen it. Tina is the llama who Napoleon and his brother, Skip, have to care for while their Grandma is on a four wheeling adventure. :)

    Our whole household loves the movie. It especially hit home for me because I'm from a small town that had a lame school and we were ten years behind everyone else on fashion ad music. :smile:

    Lolol, that look stayed awhile in our small town, by the 84/85 or so, it was tight jeans and those hideous feather combs that people sported in their back pockets and that hurt like heck when trying to comb through hair covered with Aquanet.
