It looks like Waitrose has selected boxes on offer at the moment - apple pie and banana bread flavours, 4 pack for £1.75 :smile:

Oily fish? So maybe substitute your afternoon shrimp for some tasty smoked mackerel?

Chorizo and chickpea stew! Adjust the quantity of chorizo depending on your calorie allowance - this following recipe serves 4, but is designed to be eaten with lentils/rice/quinoa/bread or some other side. Or if you want to bulk it up for minimum calorie increase then just another onion, tin of tomatoes and tin of…

Surely 'modern medicine in the USA'...?

I like mapmywalk because it takes terrain and inclines into account, whereas the MFP 'walking' just estimated calories by time - take the distance/height gain data from mapmywalk and plug it into the calculator on this website: http://hikingscience.blogspot.com/p/calculate-calories-burned_22.html You can then include data…

From what I remember they are very social animals and should not live alone - especially as they are most active when we humans are asleep! Please consider getting him a playmate, he will be much happier :smile: Edit: Unless of course you have just added a newbie to your colony, in which case ignore me :embarassed:

Tilapia is sold as Tilapia in the UK - I have seen it in Waitrose, Morrisons and a local fishmonger. I personally don't buy it - It is a freshwater fish so very mild. I like my fish to have a bit more flavour!

Where I shop, natural yoghurt has more protein than Greek yoghurt. So just check the packaging and buy the right one for your needs :smile:

Go to the exercise tab at the top of the page - then click on 'my exercises'. To the right you have an option to 'create your own exercise' :smile:

They aren't/weren't - it was the tanker drivers merely threatening to strike. They have since ruled out a strike over the Easter period. So there is no date set. It may never happen.

Ditto, i've never heard of it. I think I have got the wrong end of the stick, but if I haven't, society makes me sad. Edit - it is not the women that make me sad, based on what others have said - they sound like well educated, genuine athletes. It's the fact people have said they play in their underwear to get viewers.…

I agree with the recommendations for Highland Park 12 and Lagavulin 16 - I also like Laphroaig and other peaty Islays - for a seriously peaty smack in the face, try Ardbeg Uigeadail! I got my OH this as a gift and we both love it. If you like something sherry casked then try the Aberlour A'bunadh - delicious! But it is…

Thank you very much for your replies :smile: I now understand on both counts. Not being a hunter myself I just assumed that you would shoot them in the brain :embarassed: Thanks!

Again, I'm not against hunting, but what is the definition of a 'clean' kill? the other part of the story that was a bit unsavory to me was the amount of time they took to die. I guess I always assumed a 'clean' kill was a quick death?

I've always wanted to go hunting - though maybe I'd start on rabbit or something first! :laugh: Just one question though - why did you shoot both of them? If the big bulls are so scarce it took you so long to find them, surely it makes sense to leave one there? Not being aggressive about it (i know it might read that way),…

Nuts!

Simples. Get TWO dogs. :wink:

What do you mean by "most bacteria is positively charged"? Do you mean this as in electric charge? If so, this is amazingly incorrect - the majority of bacteria are negatively charged due to the lipopolysaccharides in the cell membrane. Edit - if this is the kind of info you are getting from websites promoting its use,…

I am in the UK, so not too dissimilar weather wise? I love growing things but only have a small garden. I will be growing potatoes, spinach, salad leaves/lettuce, courgettes (zucchini to you guys!), carrots, onions, leeks, mangetout/sugar snap peas, French beans, blueberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, gooseberries,…

Yep, the stock cube contributes 900 out of the 950 total per serving! With regards to wine, it varies really... Sometimes I will buy a bottle of 'cooking' wine, which is basically just the cheapest white I can get hold of, but i'll always make sure it is at least 11%. Made the mistake of buying a cheap wine, then finding…

I love to make mushroom risotto - amazing how rich it can taste without too many calories! In fact, I have my recipe written up somewhere... Makes 2 servings Onion x1 or equivalent in shallots (taste better) Butter - 10g Arborio rice - 150g White wine ~3.5 fl.oz Garlic - 1 clove Vegetable stock - use one cube dissolved,…

Yes! We had an glorious sunny day yesterday, so we out for a 7 hour hike in the Peak District (the oldest national park in the UK) - it was awesome! And I don't even ache today, that's a NSV if ever I saw one... Here's a little glimpse of our lovely countryside (if it works?): Edit: Nope, can't work it out :grumble: OK,…

To be fair - they are talking about a specific doctor, not a stereotype, and have said they would like to look for a better doctor. Implying she is fully aware there are good doctors around.

Not all 'Western' health care is delivered in the USA style, don't lump as all in together :tongue: :wink:

PhD in Evolutionary Genetics and Ecology - final year, argh!

I am starting to get into weights so I am not 'anti' - but I have to say, I actually prefer the 'before' on one or two of those pictures. But you know, each to their own, i'll know when to stop.

I have had eczema all my life - I cannot go swimming as I have a severe reaction to the chlorine. I had a random flare-up last June - and despite all the moisturisers and steroids prescribed by the doctor it persisted until about 2 weeks ago. My mum read something about eating a handful of walnuts every day - I was…

Ah I just saw your post - I was writing in response to the 4th post, I guess I should have used the quote button :embarassed:

Yolks are NOT just fat and cholesterol - An egg yolk is there to provide sustenance to a growing chick. It won't do that with fat and cholesterol alone! Egg yolks also contain protein, vitamins and minerals - yes the yolk is HIGHER in fat and cholesterol, but this isn't exactly difficult when the white is pretty much…

I eat the seeds... they're my favourite bit :embarassed:
