Did you ever notice?
People who get mad at other people for judging usually end up judging the person they're mad at, or judging others who comment on the topic? So much drama sometimes. I just think its funny to read how some stuff escalates into this big argument where everyone is throwing out stuff about not judging others, and then proceed…

Meat Loaf w/ veggies in it?
For those of you who have made meat loaf with veggies in it, what do you do? Do you just add the veggies to the meat loaf mix before baking? I tried looking it up and kept getting results for vegetarian meat loaf (which is not what I want...I still want the meat involved! lol). Thanks!

"Comment here or be deleted"

I think it almost feels like a dare. lol :huh:

30DShred - only do some, still effective?
I was recently doing Couch to 5 K and Jillian Michaels 30 Day shred at the same time, and I had to stop because of the pain in my knees.

Corn tortillas expiration date?
Do you think they are ok to eat after the expiration date? They smell, look ok. But I'm always weird about expiration dates. We just don't seem to eat them fast enough, and I always end up throwing away half the package. I swear they always expire like a week after we buy them. :grumble:
