The Bible - The most owned, least read book. :smile:

Since I quit drinking, smoking, and following the SAD diet, I no longer have acid reflex. Eating healthy and exercising has done the trick.

I love Jasmine tea.:smile:

Great, why do you want to put me out of a job, I clean lighthouses for a living.:angry:

Just learn how to make your own fresh pasta. It's not hard to do. Mix I cup of wholewheat, one cup of allpurpose white, and 2 large eggs together in the food processor. Sometime's I need to add about a tablespoon of water because the mixture is to dry. I should resemble pie dough. Buy a handcrank pasta machine (50 bucks),…

What is it about them you don't like? Texture, tartness, sweetness? I stopped buying raisins and started making my own. If you have a food dehydrator it opens up an entirely new world of choices regarding flavor. I just wash a bunch of seedless grapes, de-stem them and place them in the dehydrator, the next morning I have…

I didn't write this, some smart guy did that has letters behind his name:wink: I recommend choosing steel cut (Irish) oats over rolled oats because they digest more slowly than rolled ones. Like all other grains in whole or cracked form, steel cut oats rank lower on the glycemic index than rolled oats. The reason is that…

Popcorn...:wink:

I smoked for 32 years, I quit on the 26th of Feb 2011. I tried every gimmickry in the book to try and quit, nothing worked for me. Until one day I discovered a book called "The easy way to quit smoking" by Allan Carr. Grab a copy from a bookstore, library or friend. Read the book and apply everything that you learned and…

Gauges work, but they are messy and in some places they are illegal to use.

Generally a middleastern diet is extremely healthy. Lots of fresh vegetables, olive oils, flat breads, yogurt based sauces. I assume the easy thing to do would be to chat up your waiter/waitress and see what there low calorie dishes are. Common sense will prevail regarding how the dish is cooked. If it's steamed or poached…

This site is awesome, it's helped me stay focused by logging my calories and completely changing my eating habits. The difference is my fridge looks nothing like it did a month ago. When you open it up there are things in it called vegetables and fruits. These items used to die a slow painfull death in my crisper. However…

Freshness is the key. The taste completely changes once you freeze a fish. I'm spoiled cause I live on the pacific coast. Fresh Halibut is, in my opinion one of the least "fishy" tasting fish. Unfortunately I love it battered and deep fried....so I haven't had any for a long time. ;(

Awesome post, thanks for sharing.:happy:

Mine is "the sounds of silence" cause I don't own a cell phone because they don't work where I live anyway. And I like it like that.

Thanks for posting cause that's the way I do it. The bechamel sauce adds alot of creamyness to it. I make my own lasagna noodles, that way I know exactly what is going into it. Making your own marinara sauce isn't rocket science, and with practice should only take a couple of minutes. I occasionaly used to burn my sauce…

Feel free to add me eh!

I drank...alot. And was extremely sarcastic (defense mechanism)...Kept it together professionally until I got home. Anyway after 30 years I finally no longer had the strength to keep killing myself in daily doses of alcohol and cigerettes. I handed the keys to my life over to Jesus, he drives the bus now, I`m just a…

Hey Stuey, I've had almost the same thing happen to me. At the end of the day you can't blame yourself for what happened. Life is something that we have no control over. As much as we would like to, we can't wrap people in bubble wrap to protect them. Trust me it just doesn't work. Hope you see things in a clearer light in…

I make Sunday my Sinday. But i do track the calories. Sometimes knowing that you have free rein to eat pretty much whatever you want one day a week takes the pressure off. Most Sindays I have a 1000 calorie breakfast which pretty much carries me for the duration of the day. Even when I plan on cheating I usually come under…

Good for you, and I'll take you up on that.

Good for you! Feels great to wake up in the morning, no more cottonmouth, or coughing up a lung.:blushing:

Thats great that it worked for you. I loved cigerettes so much I used to smoke when I was eating, and none of those fancy store bought smokes either, hand rolled so I could get more tobacco in them, and of course no filters. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that anymore.:happy:

I tried just about everything, patches, gums, pills, hypnosis,high intensity smoking, cold turkey. A friend recommended Allen Carr's book called the" easy way to quit smoking". I bought the book, read it and quit...it was that easy! One year anniversary is 3 weeks away! Man I am so glad I'm done with that monkey.

Thanks:bigsmile:

I love suicide wings, and they love me. This looks like a really awesome lower calorie recipe that will fill the craving. Think I'll try subing shredded su-choy for the broccoli. Thanks for sharing.:bigsmile:
