Topinambur?
So, I have bought about 500 gr of topinambur, after reading very good things about them. Now that I have them in my fridge, what am I supposed to do with them? Any suggestion or vegetarian recipe?

Stupid comments - a rant / hit list
I have lost some weight since August. I was leading a very unealthy life before and I am now doing my best to be healthy.

Hi, I am currently training with Your Shape: Ftiness Evolved 2012 and I am doing a mix of cardio and strenght training (mainly bodyweight or light weights).

Help - my father isn't well and wouldn't admit it
Hi, I need your advice and help here. My dad is a smoker that only eats meat, has high blood pressure and doesn't do any physical activity at all. He only drinks wine or soft drinks.
