Dogfish Head Ancient Ales
My local watering hole's beer dinner this month is based around the Dogfish Head Ancient Ales. Normally when I see a bottle of Dogfish Head, I move as rapidly down the beer aisle as possible - I really do not like IPAs (I know, heresy), and their non-IPA beer that I've tried has still been too hoppy for my taste.

Helping a Friend
My friend's trying to lose weight, and I want to make sure I give him good advice. He's convinced he can't lose weight unless he's eating between 700 and 1000 calories.

I've been doing Hal Higdon's training program for several weeks now, but I can't seem to break past the 4 mile mark - by the time I'm there I'm exhausted and gasping for air. I…

High protein vegetarian meals
My boyfriend and I have been apart for well over a year now while he's been working on a client site in Detroit, but the project's wrapping up next weekend and he's finally coming home :heart: :heart: :heart: . He's vegetarian and I'm not, but when he's home I want to cook vegetarian dinners we can share together/take for…
