Peanut Butter - Should I remove the oil?
Hey everyone! I have developed the absurd habit of going through a 750 g jar of natural PB every week (I do P90X so I've been able to at least maintain my weight) all by myself.

Free slice of pizza - help!
Hey everyone! :) I have a bit of a dilemma. I finished P90x in the beginning of the month, and I've been able to avoid pizza for maybe 5 months total. But I went to an NBA game yesterday, and the home team scored 100 points, meaning I can redeem my ticket for a free large slice of pizza today (at Pizza Pizza...mediocre). I…
