More of what I ate today

jason's deli (usual- cornbeef on rye, potato salad) (not bad)

I had about 20 or so prickly pears yesterday. And just as many visits to the toilet last night!

The Jason's deli at the Arboretum?

nope, in west lake vinnies, today i think... eggplant parm and bass pale

Nick, I thought you owned some restaurants! Scouting the competition?

Now Vinnies is down on Barton Springs road? I've been there a couple of times, I used to work in that neighborhood.

yeah, i still own a piece of those restaurants, but i've been staying in austin for bit... (only for a few weeks, yet)... and yeah, vinnies is on barton springs (between lamar and s.1st)... only eaten there 4 or 5 times myself... (food is good, bar is better) think maybe serrano's tonight (if i can drag my lazy ass out again)...

I ate at Olive Garden last night. Breadsticks and salad with their own house dressing and, of course, the main course went untouched and is sitting in a bag in the fridge for tonight's dinner. They told me who makes their breadsticks.

So, Nick, why ain't you eaten out here yet?

(who says i haven't, hmmm?) actually been meaning to (say hello or whatever, you know)... but truth is, i'm sort of (almost) really (basically) tentative... (yeah i'm shy) (in real life) paula jane and i are planning to visit austin this summer... we've talked about it before, and decided it would be really cool if we met you together, then... actually talking to her right this minute... (she says "hey"... and also, some of her newer poems are published in a zine on the net... if you'd like, i'll dig up the address... also, you can read a few if you go to http://www.poesie.com go to the author search, and list 'paula'... it'll take you right to her stuff)...

gotcha...tell her I said Hi back... you can still go by and try the food, I'm off all day tomorrow (Wed) and Thursday night...

damn wer, didn't mean i didn't want to go by when you were there... paula jane's actually been on my ass to do it, too, cause she knows i want to... know it doesn't make a lot of sense, but i am really am basically very shy... that's all it is... (REALLY hope that's not what you thought, cause that's not what i meant)...

I just wanted to get your take on the food... if I'm not there, then you can't use shy as an excuse not to try the food... wasn't trying to imply anything else, either...

fajitas

come again?

I ate fajitas for dinner. Earlier we ate many wonderful cheeses with mesquite mustard.

You've never heard of fajitas, Ree?

Nevva, Terry! What are they? BTW, I spoke to Mike last night, and so far we're defenitely still coming next year. We also practiced our roars and growls....

Welcome, Tami!!!

You're asking me? They're some Mexican food things that I can't explain very well. Maybe kitchenmanager or tami could help 'splain fajitas???

I'm all eyes...

You take a round tortilla (crepe-like wheat or corn dough) and stuff it with veggies, beans, cheese, whatever, and heat them. Then top with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, etc.--they're a really good way to use up leftovers. Welcome, Tami, cheeses w/mesquite mustard?? I'm in heaven!!! Where do you live?

That sounds terrific! One doesn't really get mexican food here, but in Disneyland, Paris, we stayed at a sort of mexican hotel, and that was the only nice thing about the whole trip; the food was really really wonderful.

Come to Brighton, Riktte, and I'll take you to our Mexican resaurants!

Deal. Just wait for that summer school next year - I'll take an extra day or two to visit you, so we can have an orgy or two!

Yay!�!!

Made Mikes day.

Nah - that's Christine's job! �nudge, wink�

Riette, If you like mexican food, when you get to Austin, you will eat the best You've ever had!! This town has more mexican restaraunts than Monterey!!

Is that an invitation? NO, don't! I will invite you to a Mexican restaurant, since you invited me for a truck ride and Archie videos. Oh, damn, I'm not used to this anymore. Tim, would you like to go on a Mexican restaurant (un)date when I come to Austin?

Absolutely, I am a tremendous fan of mexican food. Of course, I am a tremendous fan of food in general.

Good! I bet I can out-eat you though! (Wanted to say I could eat you under the table, but you might think me rude!!)

I would not think that rude, Riette, but you are right, I would have taken it as an entirely different sort of offer than you had in mind. How much do you wish to wager that you can out eat me? Two friends of mine and I put an all you can eat fish place out of business. Of course that was 15 years ago, and I don't eat like that anymore, But I can still hold my own.

When I lived in Tallahassee, my housemates and I knew so many all-you-can-eat specials we could literally eat at one every day of the week. The Sunday one was all-you-can eat ribs. On Sunday morning we'd decide to go there that night and fast all day. Then, after the last football game we'd (*ahem*) smoke an "appetite enhancer" in the car on the way there. That restaurant went under pretty quickly.

Does that mean you're in too, George?

In too what?

I thought we were going to see who could out-eat who. Above the table, that is.

Above the table, On the table, Under the table, In the living room, anywhere, Riette, you're on!!

Ooh, you make me feel so WANTED!

Riette, you have such away with words. I laughed so hard at that one that I had people coming into the kitchen to see if I was alright.

You're doing this in the kitchen? What do you expect??

Riette, I have two choices, the kitchen or the living room. They watch TV in the living room.

Don't you have a bedroom, Tim?

Yes, Riette, I do have a bedroom, but I don't have a computer, so I use one of the house computers.

OH! And the house computers all stand in the kitchen???

No Riette, the house computers are split evenly between the kitchen and the living room.

Why the kitchen? Or do Americans just DO that?

The kitchen is a traffic hub for the house, Riette.

Oh! Yes? So, your truck is parked next to the fridge, I presume?

Riette, That's Brilliant. Great idea, but unfortunately not.

Where then? The bedroom? So you'll have some kind of bed to sleep in?

We Americans are somewhat backward when it comes to this, Riette. We put the bedroom in the truck.

Okay, I have been acquainted with the expressions 'white trash' and 'trailer trash' since I've come to the spring. Is there a third one I should know about? Truck Trash sounds rather romantic! One of the greatest holidays I once had was with my great uncle in Durban - he is trailor trash! He couldn't afford meat, so we used to barbecue mangos behind the trailor. And one night my sister and I wanted to shoot firecrackers while he was barbecueing the mangos, and one landed under his foot, and that was the first time I heard the words, 'Ar$e fu�king pu$$y'! It was heaven!

What a colorful expression Riette. Actually all OTR trucks carry a bed or Two on board.

And so it should! It's only practical!

Very much so, Riette, It is hard to get one of those Behemoths into a hotel lot. 2.4M wide 3.9M tall 22M long

That is HUGE! ha-ha! I have a good one, Tim! If you took me along on one of those, it would be a hotel on wheels, WITH room service!

Sounds good, Riette, The truck also has a cookstove, refrigerator, microwave, TV and VCR.

It IS a hotel! Just don't tell me it has a queen sized bed, 'cos I'll just rent a truck instead of a hotel room, and we can act out 'Driving Miss Daisy'!

Close, Riette, real close. The truck bunk is 52" wide A Queen size bed is 60".

and what's eight inches between friends?

A little short, Right Riette?

Ha-ha! You bet, baby! But 8 inches off a bed between friends is good - I like warm friendships.

Riette, If you are going a little, you might as well go all the way to 40 Inches!!

Are you serious, or just trying to turn me on????

Yes, Riette, if a 40" bunk turns you on, Go for it!!

Oh, the bunk, huh? �snort�

What did you think I meant, Riette?

On my way to Satay...let ya'll know what I ate later!

Sounds like you are having a better dinner than I did.

I had the Mee Krob and the pork Satay...yummie! What did you have?

I had holiday party food... cheese and wine and stuffed mushrooms and celery and mini spring rolls and more wine!

So, Stace, you got any big balls lined up for the holidays?

Is it my imagination, or is that a loaded question?

*giggle* of course it's a loaded question!! Had a 'ball' last Saturday at the new house... a tree trimming party. Our friends brought ornaments and we provided the food, drink and music. Last night was a company party Next week a couple more. Oh yea, a a couple of big balls are sure to make an appearance

So excited about it, I see, that your fingers are stuttering!

*laugh* you got me!

Enjoy yourself!!

now, if I could just get you where I want you...

where's that?

wer's thinking.... give him time....

hi Jim! What did you eat today?!?!?

I ate some very funny things today. a lotta chuckle food. could hardly keep it down, I was laffin so hard. and I had to really Thai one on at the end (at that restaurant right around the corner from ya). sorry I couldn't stop by to say hello. was on a tight deadline, drivin' my semi......so was just passin' through. I did ask the chef if he'd put a little something extra in your next dinner there, though. did you know they have a French chef working on the night shift? I spoke to him with some Francois that I took in from listening to Autumn spout some of her best stuff, over the years (I mean months).

that musta been you I saw then, scarfin down everything in sight. I was the girl sitting by herself up at one of those tables with the floor mats. (took myself there to cheer me up!) Actually I hesitated when asked whether I wanted to eat in or take out. I'm glad I chose to eat in. Relaxing, yummy. I digested better.

When I was on the road, I would always choose seeing a friend over going to a restaurant. I carried food on the truck. I could always eat later.

asiago bagel w/salmon schmear coffee mashed potatos w/ cream gravy canteloupe pepperocini peppers lettuce (plain) trail mix 1 1/2 hard boiled eggs lotsa water

two tuna fish sandwiches and a bunch of assorted things with sugar in them

do you put relis in your tunafish?

I rarely make it, I leave the serious cooking to others...

do you eat it with relish in it?

Everything is better when eaten with relish.

yuck.

then I shall plead the fifth... (actually, it's good both with and without)

*sigh* and I thought we were soulmates... *grin*

now, it's time for me to issue the "don't go there" warning... I like Subway's and the Bagelry's, both of which are sans relish... oh, well, I guess that's it then (except for the sex, of course...)

Even sex is good when enjoyed with relish.

yuck.

I am employing a pun.

I'm expressing my opinion.

OK, I just thought I wasn't being clear.

ah... I look at many things through rose colored glasses so... as clear as that ever gets!

Even so.. It is a good way to look at life.

One shouldn't look at life too much.

bagel with schmear white chocolate macadamia nut cookies (2) Coke water blueberry yogurt salad thingy orange water banana

a salad thingy another tunafish sandwich Promised Land chocolate milk

Lots.

Lots of what? I had the bacon cheeseburger and fries at a new bar down the street.

stuff in the morning stuffed shells in the afternoon half a bottle of port in the evening!

That last one would kill me, I'm sure! Can't take Port at all - makes me drunk very quickly. Lots of muesli Lots of peanuts and raisins Lots of Flake chocolates Lots of fruits Big Devil's burger with coleslaw and french fries.

after the port...which pretty much has the same effect ot me as well Ree-head...I went out for Thai food. YUMMY!

sippin' coffee as I read'n'post...

The burger with coleslaw sounds good. I've never had a burger with coleslaw.

The coleslaw wasn't on top of the burger! It was beside the burger. But it's my favourite side dish with burgers and other junk food.

don't know about burgers, but we always put it on Mom's barbeque sandwiches...

ate leftover phad eggplant leftover stuffed shells cheese blueberry, orange, banana, soy milk smoothie crackers oops. forgot to mention I also put a pear in the smoothie... OJ vitamin

You ate OJ??? Weren't you afraid? Do you know what he did four summers ago? Oh, $hit, I'm scared of STACEY!

well, it's about time...

Ate AMAZING food every chance I could in SF!!! Fresh, fresh, fresh fish!!!

This weekend I made a fried catfish recipe I clipped out of the paper. It was great. Definitely a keeper recipe. The spices that you put into the flour for breading you also put into the dipping batter. Considering there's a lot of garlic and some cayenne pepper it didn't taste TOO spicy. Yesterday I sliced tofu into patties and marinated it in soy sauce and honey and ginger and then fried 'em. It was OK. Just OK.

HMMMMMM!!!! Fresh fish!!! Like, straight from the water, Stace? �drooling all over the place�

yep!

I baked a brisket in a sauce made of Heinz Chili Sauce and Coca-Cola. Really tasty and tender. I never used Coke as an ingredient before. When I lived in the Southeast, I saw a lot of baking recipes calling for it, but I avoided trying one. Using Coke in a recipe sounds kinda trailer park-ish, ya know?

yep

nah... then you'd use food club cola

or *shudder* Wal-mart's cola...

[as in Sprite commercial] ahhh... never had it... never will.

(actually, think that was 7-Up, but I agree with the sentiment!)

ohh... *blush* my bad!

we don't know that for sure yet...

bagel w/ schmear coffee C Monster spicey scallop rolls cheese canneloni

WHAT? No Salad?

ummm... nope.

oh, okay!

am currently munching on a bowl of Captain Crunch Oops! Allberries...

bagel w/ schmear coffee (decaf) water, water, water Chili's - mushroom swiss burger w/ black bean patty and side of honey mustard (to dip the fries) water water water ... sure beats the 64 oz of 100% unsweetened cranberry juice from yesterday! tonight it's off for seafood... anniversary and all!

NO BREAKFAST (what a grave, grave error!) I've been off all day. Caffeine headache, hunger pangs, the worst! Never, never skip breakfast!

something like that...

Ahhh. I ate breakfast this morning. Same old same old... bagel w/schmear and coffee (it was perfect!) potato chips for lunch and a Sprite (this is not designed as a model nutrition plan... I need some nutrients right about now --- chocolate!)

Ahhh.

did you eat breakfast too? Or was the "Ahhh" for the chocolate reference?

2 slices of bread with cherry marmalade (whole cherries in it!), bowl of coffee (Wiener Melange from Stern Kaffee in Frankfurt Bockenheim - a backyard operation roasting fine beans from all provenances into great coffees!). Slice of cold pizza. Listened to Kreidler-tape in the car.

woo woo! that'll keep you going for awhile!

Yeah, Kreidler always does that! Anyway, now it's 5:20 pm, and I feel a tiny hungry groan somewhere below. Check the system time, Stacey - if it's not truly 11:00 am at your place, something's wrong. Ought to be more like 8:00 am, I think.

it's 9:50am

Time stamp says you posted 11:55 Austin time.

Austin is 1 hr ahead of Denver (and it looks like Paul got a little overzealous with the 'spring forward' thingy!

Whazzat?

In April, the USA goes to Daylight Savings (or maybe that's what they call it in October...) ANYWAY... in the Spring (April or March) we all push our clocks forward one hour. And then in the Autumn we push them back an hour. Optimum sunlight for harvesting I believe was the original reasoning behind this. So... on April 3rd, we all were supposed to jump forward an hour. Looks like the Spring jumped forward 2hours!

Oh. That. Here in Germany, we do it differently. We do it at nights, when most people are asleep, so they don't notice it (only those with queasy stomachs). Of course, you have to secure everything in the house and on the job... The people working in these two nights get paid a jumping bonus (danger bonus), because as hospital staff, they have to help all these poor ill people jump and the firefighters might be at a fire and have to take the jump on their thin ladders or with full gear in a flaming hell. Brave people! After that night, cleaning troops fix everything damaged and broked. They put little birds back in the nests (which is stupid, because after having been touched by humans, their parents never feed them again), and straighten out the street lamps. At home, you'd have to pick up the occasional broken plate and the Steiff animals that might have fallen down (did you at least get any of those!!!???) during the jump.

Ahhh.

Ahhh...

breakfast (thank goodness) carrots lasagna (mushroom spinach) yogurt (blueberry) water chocolate kisses (about 12)

well, since you don't go to the beer topic anymore, I'll ask here: How do you rate Fat Tire Amber, Stace?

I like it

okay

and you???

I was searching for more of a response I think... we are considering carrying it at LI...the sample I had was too cold to tell much about the taste... I do like ambers as a rule though...

Before Shiner Bock started selling up in Colorado, this was a perfect substitiute! Gosh, it's so hard to describe taste without actually sippin one!

well, it is the new trend beer here in Austin

really? A colorado beer, whoopin it up in Austin... Yee HAww!

bagel schmear, coffe carrots laftover eggplant, black olive and mushroom stromboli (I'm really hungry right about now!)

had to shut down the computer and run out for DQ around 3:30 today... must be the weather!

that's gotta be it!

What's DQ? "Dames Quarterly"? You fetch girlie-mags in the middle of the night - AND EAT THEM? Wow. You ARE different. Any other girl would have eaten the Cosmo instead. Or Playgirl.

Dairy Queen

Oooops. Ahem, great icecream, though.

typing away munching on Phad Ka Prow Noodle w/tofu... yummy!

ooohhh lemme see... how come this topic said it was frozen before...??? now I feel silly

this one isn't...the other one is...

oh... (i still feel silly)

(at least you look good!)

why thank you!

Was that the noodles, the posting or the feeling silly that make her look that good, Wer? Could use to try that recipe myself... or even sell it! WER, let's research that, RICHES wait for us!

gotta be the pasta!

Asian pasta, right?

huh?

The noodles you had over eight replies ago?

oh... actually i think it was the noodles from the day I forgot to post what i ate.

So we'll never know. .=/ Wer, our last chance to strike it rich is blown.

oh, well... you think if we lurk around here long enough another chance might come our way?

for what?

for striking it rich, sweety!

auch so!

Genau!

no gnus is good gnews...

But if the gnus are well done? Are they then ok? Where's the resident African when you'd need...

the proper grilling techniques and sauce recommendations?

Oh, right, Stacey, let's just ask Wer - he's always here and he know which parts is the hot ones on a stove!

eating goldb�ren straight from Wertheim, Germany! yummy yummy BTW, HARIBO macht Kinder froh! did ya know!

Yes. "...und Erwachs'ne ebenso!" Did you get them on your trip and save them?

nope. I did a favor for someone at our plant in Wertheim... she sent me five huge bars of chocolate and a big bag of gummy bears!

What do you manufacture? Musta been quite the favor, to... Postage is incredible to the US - sending a parcel of like 7 kg (approx 14 lbs.) costs about 70 Mark (approx. USD 40). Sending 1 copy of superstar is between DM 12 (3 weeks) and DM 16 (air mail)...

Johns Manville is an insulation and roofing materials company. I work out at the R&D facility in the Health, Safety and Environmental department. The favor was converting documents into a readable format for her... Oh... no postage issues. She sent the package with another employee who was headed back to Denver.

Great how this worked - we got some things together much the same way (obtained a CD from Belgrade for a review by Bruce S. from Austin... A zillion people pitched in to help us out!)

Coffee and granola Spam chips and rice Laulau and Poi with Lomilomi Salmon Bananas from our yard lots of water Dinner will be chicken and rice and salad

nothing with some coffee, sodas, and cigarettes... (a couple of glasses of water were thrown in so I'd stay healthy...) nice to see you posting in here, too, Marcia!

No chicken and rice last night - take out Korean: Bul Kogee rice kim chee pickled seaweed.

Thanks, wer! Where we are, you eat a different ethnic for each meal in the day. I have never had Thai food, though there are a few restaurants in town. It sounds like you-all are into Thai food. What's it like?

some of it is like Vietnamese... and some of it is like Indian... where does fusion fit into your different ethnicities theme?

Vietnamese like in Nyuk mam sauce? ...eeew... Sorry, but we do not westernize things over here - we get them fresh off the boat. I have been served clotted pig blood and tree fern shoots. Quite pungent!! Filipino cooking, that.

if there is no westernization, there's a bunch of ethnicities that don't make the rounds then, right?

No fusion here. We just get hungry and think what might taste good for the next meal. Pot lucks are a real adventure here. You never know what someone will bring. Especially if there is a new and "very mainland" type attending. Well sit back and watch...!

Oh yes, there is westernization here. The Hawaiian food is often served with rice instead of poi (I love poi - but it has to be sour). Potatoes are being used more and more but still much less than rice. I do not put shoyu in everything I eat, but my son does. Even on Chili and rice. I have asked the lady from Portugal if the local descendants were cooking the same foods as she eats. Not even close. Guess it is like Chow mein and chop suey - not really Chinese, either.

Whether the ethnicities all make the rounds, I think in general they do. At University functions, you would probably not find truly back-woods ethnic stuff. Conversely, at a baby luau, where all of the family and guests are mostly of the same origin, you find the most choice delicacies such as the pig blood and fern shoots. (I can still taste it!) In this case, we were the only Haoles (Caucasians)present. I am sure the plate was served to me to see my reaction. As a consequence, I did not react till much later, (I had a jug of peppermint mouthwash!)and I slid the contents into the rubbish when no one was looking. I think unless you invite Cambodian or Tibetan students to a party and ask them to bring ethnic foods (and we do that), there will always be interesting cuisines we do not have the chance to taste. It is sometimes amazing what people consider edible that we would not bring home from the store! Another time for that. Had chicken and rice and salad - finally - for dinner.

gotcha

Hiya Marcia! Nice to see posting from you in here! And I also enjoyed the pic in the gallery... I've had poi but the rest is unknown to me

I ate at Whole Food twice today. Lunch was cheese enriched mashed potatoes, tofu casserole and vegetables and I just snacked on a blueberry smoothie and a cookie. WF is just a short hop down Mopac from where I work.

animal crackers and coffee Spam chips and rice and pickle two tuna salad (with relish, mayo and onion) sandwiches water, water and more water + vitamins dinner??? Last night was Prime Rib for the Father in my life. Half of the people in here sound like they are on some sort of penitant mission to deprive (or is that deprave?!) the system of needed nutrients, and the rest sound like you need a mother to feed you better. But, since I have seen the children of some of the posters here, and pics of them, too, I know they are feeding the kiddies better than they are eating. Hey, big guys, eat what your kids eat. You'll feel better!

Hi Yourself, Stacey! Poi can be nasty if it is too fresh. You need to let it ripen at room temp till it gets a little "sour" which imparts a tasty tang to it. Very good with Lomilomi salmon (yeah, I can hear the gagging from here - and I got all sorts of static in Drool when I mentioned it), but I have no idea if it tastes like wallpaper paste. I have never tasted the stuff! Did you like it, Stacey, and what did you have with it?

Marcia, I had it several years ago and yes, I did enjoy it. There was nothing to go with it... an international festival with poi in paper cups! Lomilomi salmon?? Is that the kind of salmon or is that the way you prepare it? And about the eating problems round here... to me a well-rounded diet includes a weeks worth of meals so day to day I may be missing vital nutrients but I usually get plenty of whatever I need within the week... and I eat a lot! WER, on the other hand... needs help! *grin* Yesterday: bagel& cream cheese, coffee black bean burger (w/ mushrooms and Swiss), lemonade chocolate (still the German stash!) Phad Thai w/ tofu, Tom Yum Goong, Phad Eggplant, fish cakes and Thai iced tea This morning banana, cranberry juice, leftover Phad Eggplant always lotsa water!

Lotsa water is tops on my list, too. Coffee and animal crackers Spam chips and rice and pickle Stacey, I am much relieved to know folks there are eating better than they let on. The only things I know wer eats is kiddie cereal which is more sugar than anything else (but he and Zoe like it) and lots of coffee. Probably a libation to the gods of Cyberspace, now and again, too. While he is in the kitchen managing, he should snitch some samples! Gotta try Thai food one of these days. What do you suggest for a beginner? Lomilomi slamon is a methog pf preparation. All imported stuff got to Hawaii in a preserved state, including the salmon, which was salt cured. You massage (lomilomi)it in water (change often) until the flesh is tender and chewable. Dice. add diced fresh tomatoes and slices of green onion and standard onion. Let sit for flavors to mix. Chill. It is so Ono =) and is a great compliment to poi.

sounds like a gravlox extrodinaire!

*lol* That's one way of putting it. Ever massage a lox? Something else I discovered; when you buy poi at the grocery story it is in a plastic bag and about the consistency of silly putty. The first time, I tried to eat it that way and it would hardly go down! One is supposed to beat water into it slowly adding more until it is the consistence you esny - one finger, 2 finger or 3 finger poi. (Something else you never needed to know!) more water sunflower seeds more water sardine sandwich more water

"WER, on the other hand... needs help!" you have such a knack for understatement, Stace...

HEY WER! I thought I'd have to write something drastic to get you back in here! (and you DO need help with that oh-so-very-terribly-antinutrition-diet!) how was the kitchen weekend?? Marcia how do you fix a sardine sandwich?

Stacey, you had to ask, Huh! I take good whole grain bread and slather it with brown mustard. Lay the sardines (wedge-shaped without heads) alternating direction so the whole sandwich is covered. Add a crunchy dill pickle and some chips if they are available (ours tend to disappear as soon as they get over the back door sill). Eat and have plenty of water with it. Can you suggst other methods? I like things to resemble what it was when I got it, so I usually do not mash things - unless it is bananas f r peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Yeahm where is our Great and Fearless Leader?

I've never had a sardine sandwich -- I'll have to experiment and get back to you!

smoothie for breakfast. I thought I'd put enough stuff in it to fill me up -- two bananas, two pears, soy milk... I need to grab a breakfast burrito now. *rumble* *rumble*

Two eggs over easy. 2 pieces of white toast. hash browns. coffee w/ cream and sugar.

homemade or did you go out for breakfast? yummy...

I ate at the company cafeteria, where I'm headed right now.

pb&j egg and pepper jack cheese burrito

Coupla donuts Coffee

Coffee and Animal crackers 6" cold cuts (double meat) Subway sandwich I am convinced that this place serves to creat a hunger for something someone else is consuming (with the exception of tofubugers and the like). Right now I could kill for a burrito of any sort, but I am fresh out of them in the frig and miles from the nearest good one. And, it is only 9 am. Plotting my next move for the next meal. We will all be spherical when we finish with this board. BTW, Stacy, try your PB with mashed banana, It is ono-licious and so much better for you meatless wonders.

I LOVe PB& banana! ever try it with a bit of honey drizzled over it?

Ooooh, No, but I certainly shall. In case you had not discovered this little helper, bananas freeze very well. Peel, then and pop them into plastic bags. Whomp them on the counter to break off a few when they are frozen and let sit a few minutes or nuke for 10-15 secs and they mash and spread like butter =))

Or... take your frozen banana and pop it in the blender with some vanilla ice cream and milk for a YUMMY banana shake without all the ice chips!

Forget about the p-nut butter. Who needs the calories!!! You could always put Macadamias in with it as you are blending. Makes it nice and interesting. Then your shake will not stick to the blender or the roof of your mouth. Oh, that's right - we axed the p-nut butter! Had 'nuther sardine sandwich with mustard. Could not think of anything else which would taste good sardines beside mustard. Dinner I think will be left-over homemade spaghetti.

tuna fish on toast for breakfast and a glass of OJ

How do you fix your tuna fish? I can have it three ways here. Canned, saute'ed and raw. I think all three are wonderful. subway sandwich cottage cheese and peaches leftover spaghetti (dinner out last night) Lotsa water.

A tuna fish sandwich for me is canned water packed tuna w/ a bit o mayo. I made tuna steaks a month or so ago... pan seared (raw in the middle) with wasabi/ginger sauce I've never had it sauteed... do explain! today... I ate: pb&j sandwich yellowfish sashimi, unagi, and a caterpillar roll miso soup now I'm looking for sweets!

Really, after that heavy dose of salt (esp. miso) I had lunch at Whole Foods Northwest. Potatoes, broccoli and rice. Bottled brewed iced tea.

Love the way that sounds, Stacey. Sort of warm sashimi! Saute' has a little margerine in the pan, dredge in flour (add salt and pepper to taste to flour) and pop into the pan. Cover and cook about 5 min on each side - depending on how thick your steaks are and how cooked you like them. Coffee Spam chips and rice w/ pickle peanuts in the shell (now all over the keyboard) water and more water chicken with rice and veggies for dinner

I just got takeouts from Veggie Heaven on the Drag. I got the incredible peanut gluten dish with brown rice. Yum. I've been munching down on it while I watch Nightline's coverage of women's soccer.

Do you have any condiments to break up the monotony of the sameness of flavor while you munch on peanut gluten (!) with brown rice? It needs cranberry sauce or pickles or something! No?

No condiments! There was some kind of great peanut sauce on it though, and it did have bell peppers as well.

I am glad for the bell peppers. Either you are into punishment in a big way and your pictures do not show any sign of it, or you really do like this stuff. It is just so different from anything I have ever eaten. Here we boil peanuts in salted water with a little shoyu and a pinch of sugar and a little ginger. Then we put them in a ziplock bag and eat them at ball games. We do the same with soybeans. Cooked in the shells and pods. Much easier to digest and delicious!

Before all the clever minds get to work on that last message I posted, let me assure you there in nothing I know of to make peanut shells or soybean pods more digestable. Those go into the trash to make compost somewhere (under the bleachers!)

So you don't stuff 'em in the bag and take them home to enrich you lot? My, my... Hey, Terry, you into football (aka what nobody in the world but US citizens call soccer...)? The german women's national team is pretty good, but only on page 4 or 5 in the sports section here... Go figure... Tour de France the big thing right now.

I'm into football/soccer and I'll be pulling for NOrway in the match on ESPN2 on Sunday against Germany? I love roasted soybeans, Marcia! Fried and salted though. I'll have to try your way.

Terry, check the refrligerated tofu section of the grocery store. That is where th prepacked and ready to eat boiled Peanuts are here. The soybeans are in the veggies in a twist-tie bag. It is usually a good idea to taste the ready made ones first to have some idea of what you will be dealing with. I think you will really enjoy them!

Sure. They'll probably have these at Whole Foods.

I've not been able to find soybeans anywhere in Denver! One place in Bolder has them for about a month when they're in season. I love em boiled!

uh... that's Boulder

I just might have to make up some Care packages for the needy in Texas and Colorado. I'd love to hand deliver it! (Stace, we knew!)

*with my most needy look* soybeans... soybeans... soybeans... (how am i doing... trying to look like that invisible child you posted on the porch a few days back!) And... always goes with out saying (and I always say it anyway!) Marcia, you (oops!) will always have a place to stay out here -- we have TWO guest rooms now!

Wow, our prayers are answered. Stacey's our needy poster child.

uh oh.

this is where I come back into the conversation, right?

what did you eat today?

two cups of coffee, four cigarettes, a coke, some lemonade, some milk, and about a dozen sociables crackers...and you?

add a black cherry soda, another coke, and some more cigarettes and assorted crackers with a little peanut butter and or cheese... anyone want to jump in with something nutritious, go ahead...

Spam chips and rice do not count, I would imagine, but that was breakfast. Lunch was something chicken and unspeakable.

chicken and unspeakable go together alot...

If I can ever find my guest room (projects coming and going from the resident male has the entire place looking like the Gypsies just left the encampment and forgot to take it with them! Fetching poster child, Stacey! Works every time.

LOL! Don't they ever! (they told me in college that creamed chicken was where they hid the saltpeter! Know any nutritive value in that? I did not seem to work, BTW

peanut butter and raspberry sandwich OJ cheese and crackers (prepakaged-- acck!) blackbean burrito w/ cilantro rice fruit smoothie (blueberry, strawberry, banana) water

WER, I am (and have been for awhile) convinced that your body would go into some horrible sort of anaphylactic shock if you were to consume something from one of the food groups we learned about in nutrition class... I am on a junk food junkie kick -- explaining the incessant dining out! I refrained from mentioning my stop at DQ country yesterday or the box of See's Candy I poured through...

I just had some cheese and crackers just now, too, Stacey, I have a coupla boxes of them in my desk. I had a hearty breakfast at Waterloo Ice House, with over easy eggs, toast, oatmeal, and home fries. And coffee. Probably Pappdeaux for dinner.

yummy! A pappadeux in SE Denver should be completed by the end of August

Well, didn't make it, I had to go show the house.

do you have new roomies?

had Dim Sum for the first time today... at T & S Seafood Restaurant

Breakfast at the bar at Kerby Lane North. Fruit bowl, baked potato omelette, and toast. Free coffee.

Way to go, Terry. I have been eating (or not eating) in the worst way since getting my teeth into Geo Conference. Do all programmers eat odd things at odd moments while giving birth to topics and all that? Or am I having new-itis?!

So, wer, what did you think of your Dim Sum? Inquiring mind wants to know! (...almost afraid to ask) What is a T & S Seafood Restaurant...?

it is a Cantonese seafood restaurant... what we tried I liked!

Oh. I think I need a good map of Austin. I don't know the first thing about it except that it is in the middle of TX and has a river named Colorado running through it...curious, I thought it emptied into the Sea of Cortez...I really need a good map! Thanks for answering my question.

Wow!!! Terry, you are something else! Incredible, brilliant, and you carry everything a woman might need. Thank you for the neat map!

I need to take something to reduce this sudden head swelling I'm experiencing!

I think you are supposed to sit back and enjoy it. So little in life affords that luxury. Besides, you earned it! Poptart and Coffee, water, chinese noodle soup

OHs and soy milk nectarine banana two slices of mushroom black olive pizza cranberry/blueberry/spirulina smoothie water

Yesterday morning, a big bowl of fruit, cottage cheese and coffee w/ cream. Today, nuttin' honey. Not yet.

Brazilian coffee and yogurt so far... Brandon came home early... late last night so no need to eat really!

WOO-WOO! For me it's that cherry addiction time of the year. That and passion fruit. And champagne. Life is BEAUTIFUL!

I'm SO glad you're happy!!!

Thanks, Stace. You too - I can see that.

Whole Foods Cafe again. Raw tofu, rice, and beans. A brewed iced tea. Soem Cheez-Its for a snack.

yesterday: banana boca burger on potato bread Sprite egg burrito w/ pepper jack cheese gnocchi w/ mushroom sauce merlot chocolate w/ hazelnuts OJ mixed w/ cranberry juice handful of individually wrapped chocolate mints water water smoked herring garden salad w/ tomatos and croutons and pepperocinis more chocolate

Holy $hit, I'm glad I wasn't YOUR mother when you were a baby! Ugly stuff!!

I can't keep up with Stacey. She's eating me under the table today. I had three Mountain Dews, three egg and potato tacos and some strange designer lemony type brew. Thas' it so far, which is why I'm comtemplating Threadgills.

Coffee Granola sunflower seeds leftovers (don't ask!) potato salad pickle

Dinner at Central Market: great catfish with great crust, caesar salad, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. Have you seen Dana Carvey's rendition of "Choppin Broccoli"?

it is very nice, yes

ooh, All this healthy living! I had: Coke berry muesli lots of French bread passion fruit vegetable soup ('twas cold and rainy yesterday) cherries champagne more Coke

berry muesli, how distinctive! What kind of berries?

blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries - all of them. It is a muesli that I buy in the local supermarket - pretty expensive, but extremely tasty, as it is freshly put together every morning. Do you like muesli, Terry-guy?

I love museli, ree girl, if I can find the good kind. And I certainly don't have a source of 'fresh' muesli. There is a mass commercial brand that isn't too bad, there is raw muesli in the natural foods store. I think I'll focus in on this part of the store next time I go to Whole Foods.

At least you HAVE shops like that over there. Here, if you see a shop like that, you take a big detour. They are usually inhabited by people wanting to convert you to religions to do with stones, instead of selling you food for the flesh. A guy in such a shop once tried to sell me a 'spiritual crystal', which would keep up my 'vertical energy flow' - and which looked exactly the same as the stones lying outside the outhouse loo on the farm where I grew up, a fact which kind of disturbs the spiritual ffectiveness . . . if you catch my whiff... �grin�

Check out http://www.wholefoods.com and you'll see the health food store we have in Austin. You can order stuff from there.

I had spaghetti for dinner.

No sauce? Thanks for the URL - see, I'm diggin' this computer lingo now!

Yes, it was saucy.

And what sort of sauce does a Terry-guy eat on spaghetti? Tomato?

Mmmm... how bout roasted red pepper and garlic basil...

We had soup last night I immediately named Spring soup since it reminded me of something Terry might eat.. Actually it was pretty tasty. Chicken broth was the base (does that leave our leader out of this soup?)to which seaweed was added, some rice for filler and loads and loads of firm tofu. It was very satisfying and I am sure nutritious. Oh yes, a whipped egg was swirled through the hot soup, too. Not bad!

miso/eggdrop/chicken&rice soup! wow!

That's about what it was. Not bad when your're too tired to make anything else and you are cold...and hungry. I wonder if he will remember how to make it!

Pizza, avocado, salad, water melon - without sauce, that is...

Seafood platter from Pappadeux.

ohhhh..... yummmmmm! cranberry apple juice egg and pepper jack burrito home fries tabasco over everything!

Red or green Tabasco? Alexander Resident ***Censored, Because I May Not Be Colour-Blind, But I Don't Know A Thing About Spelling***, The Spring

red

Ever had the green one? Yeah-We-Know-Who-You-Are-And-This-Is-Tiring-Us Resident ***Still No Clue***, The Spring

Hi, Alex! How have you been??

I can make a really good cream sauce for fish with the green one, Alexander

never tried the green one...

... but I'd love that receipe WER!

okay, I'll write one out later...

Could I have one, too, please? We have so much fish here...

I'll post it in seafood...

Thanking you in advance, I am devoutly hoping it is not sauce for green fish...

nah...it's cream and butter and lime juice and green Tabasco and jalapenos, etcetera...

Whew! Put lime juice in anything and I am your slave!

What GREEN one, Wer?? Sounds like you're gonig to make a sauce to put on something with syphilis!

uggggho!

Coupla cinnamon buns and coffee.

yogurt drink (pretty yummy) banana Nutrigrain bar water peppermint patties (but I'm hankering for Thai food...)

I love yoghurt drinks - especially grenadella flavour. But over here peach flavour is the closest one gets! What is a peppermint patty though?? I had: one bread (one of my current addictions) loads of apple (another addiction) water melon (") huge salad with French dressing from the bottle 1 avocado coke Oh, and I stole the kids' sweeties whenever they weren't looking!

add to my list Pad Pra Krow w/ tofu and two more peppermint patties Ree-head, peppermint patties are chocolate covering a creamy mint center... tre yummy! oh and I ate a nectarine

Tonight served by the drain-unclogger and sometime cook, a concoction of white potatoes (skin on) cubed, onions, tofu and some sort of mystery meat in an interesting (read edible and not half bad)sort of gravy. Served with green beans. and lots of water

How can you EAT that stuff??? Tofu, I mean. It tastes EXACTLY like rubber. Why would anyone want to eat rubber??

Ree-head... the beauty of tofu is that it tastes EXACTLY like whatever sauce it's in! The texture is a little bouncy but, if it's cooked right, the outside has a thin coating of crunchy flavor!

Brrrrrrrr....battered rubber. No, NO, it's coming for me!! �sign of the cross� Keep away from me, ye rubbery piece a' anti-christ!

Ree, Dear (putting cool cloths on your fevered brow), could it be you had the world's worst cook presenting tofu to you the first time? Mashed and blended with cottage cheese with salad dressing, you cannot even tell it is in there. You do not have to eat the rubbery sort (makes me think it was old). There is soft tofu which blends in so ameniably that Stacey is right - it tastes like whatever sauce it is in. And, If you have never had firm tofu slightly crunchy on the outside but smoothe on the insid , You are really missing out on something almost sensual. I have never seen 666 on a bag of tofu, so I think you are safe - put away your crucifix and wooden stake. *lol*

*giggling with a concerned face* (okay, not really, I'm laughing my butt off -- what's left of it since someone 'pinched' it in the bath..)

but... what I ate today... banana egg burrito w/pepperjack and lots of RED tabasco leftover risotto w/ scallops and shrimp chocolate kisses w/ almonds

(pondering...how does Ree know what rubber tastes like "exactly'?) Hawaiian dinner: Laulau (steamed meat and fish wrapped in taro leaves) Ripe Poi (finally!) Lomilomi Salmon Lots and Lots of water

I used to eat these bouncy rubber balls when I was a kid - seriously, I loved them. But the novelty sort of wore off by the time I was 16. Wow, your dinner sounds great! The kids and I just had hotdogs with ketchup and mustard, and watermelon for desert.

That's ok. My son ate the rubber bumper nubbins from the aliding glass dhower doors, We never knew where they went til many years later. I do not think his father does to this day! It is delicious - am having more of it tonight (Hawaiian)

And just as I was consuming my laulau, poi and lomilomi salmon, a neighbor brought me a big bouquet of anthuriums from her garden. Aloha!

(my son's eating the rubber nubbins apparently so traumatized his mother that she cannot write sliding glass shower doors correctly anymore. Sorry!)

ha-ha!! So, THAT's why my mum never got out of the hippie stage!!! It's all about the rubber balls - well, if you looked at that from a freudian point of view it must have been very worrying indeed!

*lol* I never thought of it that way! Makes me wonder what else he consumed when I was not looking. He turned out pretty well, so I think I'd rather not know...=)

I thoroughly agree! I once caught Isa combing Elza's hair with the toilet brush - after dipping it, of course. And that was more than I ever wanted to know about my children's secret habits!!

Ree, think of the fun we'd have reading current kids What I Ate Today! Now, how do we get them to admit it?! (Maybe we don't want to know these things, either.)

YEah! We could call it the Bugkiller (Killbugger???) conference....

Parents might object to the Killbugger name, but I love it!!! Watch out world...Marcia and Riette are on the loose with their busy little brains in overdrive...

Little indeed! I carry half of mine in a bag over my shoulder!!

(I just knew it) Riette, plastic bag or hemp? Just askin'.

Why, a rubbish bag, of course.

Ree, it is your choice of bag, but I hardly think rubbish bag is a fit description. I use an attache case for mine (lest it becomes unattached...)

But don't you find it just ruins the shape? Or is your brain naturally square?

maybe the case is soft-sided...

Thanks for that suggestion. I was about to propose a bowling ball carrier bag..

eggs and rice and spam water pot stickers water

ha-ha!!! Good one!!! What is SPAM??? And pot stickers??

Just coffee so far.

First the pot stickers: They are Chinese and are finely minced meat and veggeies and herbs encased in a pasta shell. First you boil then to cook the shell, then you brown them in a frying pan to make them more tasty and crunchy. Served with a wonderful dipping sauce not very different from the teriyaki sauce I posted on The Spring Cookbook (which everyone ignored, I think.) We had a lengthy and hilarious discussion with a lady from Portugal in Drool about what was Spam. For now I will just tell you they take a pig and grind it very fine, season it like ham and put it in a can. It is ok...but, only just! Over here it is staple for breakfast. I render out as much of the fat as I can and make them into spam chips - very tasty with a riceball when hiking. Just coffee for me, too so far...

Morning Paula nd Marcia! Every year Austin hosts the SPAM festival... quite a treat. Au contraire Marcia (bout the teriyaki sauce) ... I copied pasted, printed out and brought it home for the next time I get around to cooking!

You mean there is really some place which celebrates Spam?! I am astounded. You would not believe the things they thought up for my birthday in Drool: Spam can earrings, clothing, dancing cans...far more trouble than warranted to make Spam a topic of international passtime for a while. Let me know what you think of the Teriyaki sauce. I make a bunch and it lasts indefinitely in the fridge.

yep...Spamorama...

oh, yeah...there's a movie and a website about and for it, also...

For the product or the event? (I know about Spam.com where a lot of my "birthday presents" came from)

the event...

Thank you Dear...shall hunt for it and post it on 72. They thought I had abandoned them, but I was just waiting for some really special news - like this one! I am sure this is just what they wanted to know...

banana water two baked potatos with pepperjack cheese and tabasco water tomatos water

coffee animal crackers Spam chips and rice with pickle, water

wow you really are SPAM queen!

It was available and I had made spam chips (the best way to make it) yesterday and had them left over. My appetite for Spam comes and goes. Soon I will not be able to look at a can again for a long while.

Mine is gone. I can't even remember having spam anymore.

Terry, you are much better off without it. Even in Austin it is OK not to eat the stuff. (Passing the boiled peanuts and the pineapple fresh from the yard...)

banana nectarine grilled portabella baby carrots salmon patty raw cookie dough water

two cokes, an Arizona Green tea with honey and ginseng, a piece of beef jerky, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich made with strawberry and almond preserves and honey roasted peanut butter, and some champagne grapes

Spam sounds positively foul! I mean, tinned pig - really!! salami/gurkenn sandwich water melon but it's only 15:18...

Coffee Onion Bagel and Cream Cheese water fruit cake from last Christmas

bad food day... just can't seem to get into eating... egg burrito w/ tabasco Coke two mini Milky Ways

I had a similar day. Taco Bell, Sprite, breakfast at Waterloo (the usual). I'm sated at this moment.

Does last night count? I had Hawaiian for dinner: Laulau (taro leaves steamed and cooked with beef, salt pork, purple sweet potato and fish) Poi (fresh, unfortunately) Chicken Luau (boiled taro leaves, chicken and "long rice" in chicken broth) LomiLomi Salmon (salt-cured salmon soaked and cubed with tomatoes and green onions) Haupia (coconut milk thickened with corn starch, sweetened and chilled) Pumpkin gourd made to taste like punpkin pie filling Water and more water.

was really sick last night... could it be something I ate? My stomach's still pretty jumpy today so I'm all BRAT diet for now... (hmmm... does Tabasco on toast violate the whole purpose?!?! Darn!)

Sounds like insult added to injury...Poor Stace...*hugs*

OJ and cranberry juice water r burrito standard Cheetos and Reeses Pieces (keep going downhill in the p.m.)

Cheese casserole and mashed potatoes at Whole Foods. Then later, breaded mushrooms and beer at UR Cooks. Still hungry!

Sounds like you need a serious calorie intake of the slow-digesting sort. Grab some nuts and berries and quit eating the fast stuff. The cheese casserole should have done it for you, though...(...a thick and juicy steak with fresh mushers would be just the thing...but not for him, I think!)

oriental noodle soup with tofu water and I am getting hungry....

Coffee Chinese noodle soup applesauce water

Good Lord! If we are what we eat...we are not much so far today. I am still digesting a huge Prime Rib dinner from last night that no one thought I could finish. I am tiny in lots of ways, but I also know how to eat (twitch factor takes all of the calories out and I had sour cream all over my potatoes and in my horseradish...) I did not bring any home in a doggy bag...just in my very happy tummy.

Ate horribly all week (vacations ruin good habits) even though most meals were Indian or Vegetarian. Still ate WAY TOO MUCH! Back to 1200 calories a day tomorrow.

I'm HUNGRY!

tee hee...

You did not close your html tag, dear. Allow me...

We can only eat 1200 calories a day? OOPS! It is no bloody wonder my ar$e is so big!

can never see what works through telnet... lemme see... DOES THIS WORK? well..

ahh... the appetite is back... banana peanut butter and orange marmalade sandwich apple pear water shrimp po boy (and I'm eyeing a nectarine on my desk...)

add pasta w/ clam/shrimp cream sauce to the mix... and I'll make a point to go out for Thai food tonight!

Homemade whole wheat bread. Tastes good, but my loaves still come out small and dense with caved in top (from bread machine). Am using suggested amount of yeast and am worried that any more will make the bread smell foul. Any suggestions from any gourmet bread bakers how to fix my problem (I'm new at this).

Wish I could have pasta with white sauce...have some more for me, Stacey!

Sorry I can't help you, John, I loathe breadmakers. Riette, I do 1200 cal. for 5 days, then take 2 days off and gorge myself!

I gorge myself for 5 days, then diet for 2 ... Somehow I got it all mixed up. Damn it. John, I can't help with the bread thing either, I'm afraid. I have tried baking bread before, but it's always always a disaster. If it doesn't cave in, the inside is still raw when I take it out, or, if I'm lucky it just tastes foul. A bread machine! I didn't know those existed! Maybe that is the answer to my problem! My grandmother's home-baked bread, fresh out of the oven, with a dollop of fresh cream on top, was the best thing about being a kid.

MMmmmm... doesn't matter what it looks like John as long as it tastes so good! so far... banana OJ Tiger bar leftover homemade Phad Thai

I love pad Thai...I'm enjoying a poke bento from Ka`upena (Hilo's only Hawaiian restaurant) right now. Lomi salmon, ahi poke (raw yellowfin tuna with limu seaweed), ho`io (a Hawaiian fern shoot Japanese call "wanabe"), somen (rice) noodles and boiled sweet potato. 'Ono (tasty) and low in fat. Marcia asked where's the sour poi (slightly fermented mashed taro root)? I love poi, but there's enough starch here already with the somen and the sweet potato.

Chinese noodle soup cookies water cold roast beef sandwich dish of sour cream pickle spaghetti for dinner more water

Chinese noodle soup sounds really good. The poke bento was large. I ate what I could and put the rest in the fridge for later. I saw a Michelob or two yelling at me in there, but for now, I'd better stick with bottled water and Diet Sprite!

Good man, John!!! Your girth will show your determination to minimize the calorie intake. (I just heard we have to show up tomorrow to sell the tournament shirts at 2pm. Hmmm...where can I plug in my modem?!)

Kelly Leong's little office?

Gotta be - gonna take a patch cord and the W3.1 laptop down with me and see what I can get...if they have a spare puka in their fax line.

You gonna do any announcing?

I haven't announced a volleyball match in 3 years. It's been hard to sell advertising for volleyball. Hilo got used to national champions and now, they're the worst collegiate team in the state.

I WILL do my radio show Sat. and Sun. Morning =)

I'll have to take my little local radio for it, then. (Could it be the "out-there" coach we have rather than a with-it coach?! That is not for these posts, I think, but we need lots of new blood down there...!

She's an extremely intelligent individual. I wish she'd look at what Dr. Navalta and Ms. Ahuna are doing and try to emulate their success instead of using all that pop psychobabble...

YEAH!

I am making whole wheat bread right now. Don't know what the loaf will come out looking like or tasting like, but it smells like Suzy Homemaker's kitchen. If I finally get it to rise and look aesthetically pleasing I'm calling Martha Stewart!

Well, Martha can breathe easy. I won't be devaluing property in her 'hood by calling her today. Loaf is small and dense--not pleasing to the eye. But bread tastes good. I guess you're right, Stacey.

Small and dense is good. Tht's how my bread always turns out. Just tell folks you planned it that way.

Small and dense sounds good. The question is: What sort of shape is it, John??

Squarish. The bottom has a small hole and slit where the mixing paddle was.

How very Freudian! Put a sausage in the slit, and you'll have a HOT dog.

Now, I'm laughing like a nun on a carrot truck!

No, you're laughing like a carrot on a truck full of nuns!! �grin�

Ah, a food the whole family can enjoy...

Hmmm yes ... if you count in the fishfingers and ketchup anyway.

Todays menu: Couscous with vegetables a la saison Try to eat more healthy (again). This will last till the stress in job starts again. So, if I don't post it was junkfood as usual - 99% of the year.

closing the html tag....

doesn't look like there were any open ones... ???

after i posted my comment 439 everything was bold...so I closed the tags. Perhaps an abberation of Windows which does not happen in telnet, where I am at present.

THat happens to me frequently as well. Ketchup chip nectarine coke so far...

Damn - I took typing to have something to fall back on; good thing I haven't had to do just that!

Rucola salad with pecorino cheese and fresh figs. AGAIN! (Is there anybody else who has this strange habit to eat something again and again for weeks, 'til you don't like it anymore? Besides my cats and me I know nobody who does this.)

Rucola salad with pecorino cheese and fresh figs. AGAIN! (Is there anybody else who has this strange habit to eat the same thing again and again for weeks, 'til you don't like it anymore? Besides my cats and me I know nobody who does this.)

Paul... I ALWAYS eat more than you do!

fig newtons, unsweetened ice tea

And you burn more than I do, that's why I'm so much bigger.

well... you're certainly about a foot taller!

Hehe, Isabel had had it AGAIN AGAIN... ;=} Hey, I know what you mean: I always eat the same, until I don't like it anymore... and then three weeks more!!!!

add a few Oh Henry! bars

Isabel, I do that thing too. With me at the moment it is at least one D�ner Kebab a day, as well as about 6 peaches - at least I'm never bunged up! Yesterday: m�esli peaches D�ner Kebab coke

coffee 2 small coffee cakes

Does one call that willpower or masochism??

Nothing yet. Spring is up!

Yeah!! (that the spring is up!) had crunchy peanut butter and apricot jam on potato bread this morning

Potato bread? What's that?

bread made with potato flour instead of refined flour... light and yummy!

I've never heart of potato flour, I don't think. But cool!

oooh... this morning I stopped at a local coffee shop and got a large decaf and an Orange scone (w/ frosting!) Delicious!!

Oooh. I had a plain bagel with cream cheese and a large cup o coffee.

were you oooh-ing mine or yours??? (glad to see you're eating in the a.m.)

Yerz.

then I had... vegetable soup (from home) eggplant parmesan water pear

Yes, Isabel, I eat stuff over and over until I cannot stand the though of it, then I do not eat it for 6 months...Spam is like that for me. So are peanut butter sandwiches. And Vienna Sausages and rice... and breakfast in general, so I hunt for leftovers...!

Amy's Pizza, just now Lunch was at Whole Foods.

This is a really terrific thing. The Hunger Site at the U.N. This is a really cool website. All you do is click a button and somewhere in the world some hungry person gets a meal to eat at no cost to you. The food is paid for by corporate sponsors. All you do is go to the site and click. But, you're only allowed one click per day so spread the word to others. Visit the site and pass the word. http://www.thehungersite.com

If you have seen this elsewhere...sorry...if you have not responded, get to it! This seems as good a place as any to put this note: If you value Spring and the discussions herein (not to mention the venting going on), do you realize this is Terry's web site for which he pays all the bills? Please, it is time to help with any donation you can afford. He has some pretty big bills to pay and he needs your (and my) help to sustain all of the stuff we are posting.

Rucola salad with parmesan cheese, fresh figs and parma ham. *grin*

Why does this topic always come up from post No.1, so I have to wait so long till all is loaded, and what can I do against this? Globe artichokes with hollandaise sauce,YUMMY!

:=O

�grin�

That's the stuff with the funny leaves that you suck on, right? Crrrrazy!

I LOVE sucking on funny leaves! Even though they are a bit bitter... Well, not every thing in live can be sweet.

Isabel, if you use this URL only what you have not read yet will appear - http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/food/37/new

:-) Thanks!

Alexander, in that case you'd probably LUV sucking on me! ha-ha, NO! I do like the sauce they make to put on the bitter leaves - it goes well with the bitterness. Strange thing to eat though. Croissants Corn on the cob Ice Cream

(Ouch) I mean Riette, the health nut, of course!

health addicts, all. I am trying to flesh out my womanly figure - I am tired of looking like a teenager!

Oh, you bitch!

ROTFLOL!!! Alexander, you are BAD! banana apple cider bean enchilada butternut squash soup soy sloppy joe too many Girl Scout cookies ...and the night is young.

Now Autumn has to make us look bad by posting a perfectly adequate and digestable list of food-du-jour. I think I'll go sulk and break into the Hallowe'en candy I just bought...

At least you can afford to do that! I can give it one lick a day...

soy sloppy joe, yum!

(No, Ree, I cannot - I just was using a figurative comment, but I'll share whatever I have with you *hugs*) What comprises a "soy sloppy joe"??? Sounds curious! coffee onion bagel with cream cheese and lox water leftover pizza water

still having withdrawl from all the yummy calamari and octopus and feta and kalamata olives and retsina in Greece... my body misses the 'cleanness' of olive oil too and is having stomach issues while adjusting... but... I manage *grin* banana hot tea peanut butter and apricot preserves sandwich hot tea veggie w/ cheese sandwich on wheat bread hot tea chocolate peanut butter raspberry yummies cold tea, that started out hot...

Apricot preserves, yum! Don't know if I've ever tasted that before. Soy sloppy joes: Saute onion and green pepper, add one bag (12 oz?) soy crumbles (such as Boca meat or Morningstar) and one can (15 oz.) pizza sauce. Stir till heated through...mmmm! Yummy on wheat kaiser rolls. apple cider banana (is this starting to sound familiar?) egg w/toast sour cream & chives mashed potato cup a lemon cookie peach cereal bar handful of candy corn detox tea

Thanks Autumn. That sounds so much more edible than those nasty canned things are. Yeesh! I shall try some when next I manage to get to the store and the stevedores have restocked our shelves (panic buying for a threatened dock strike)

I don't ever want to eat a Slappy Joe on the Kaiser's wheat roll.

Try Wonder Bread buns, Ree Ree. What a super sloppy veggie joe recipe!

And Wonder Bread buns are made of what - fresh weeds?

They're almost pure air, with a miniscule amount of flour mixed in, you've never heard of Wonder Bread, widdle wee wee?

NO! Not a whisper! But do tell me - what does a Wonder Bread, wee wee willie taste like, Terry? Can't one just draw a breath of air, then dip your finger in the flour sack and lick it instead?

That would work, wee.

See, I've got your eating habits all figured out, Tewwy!

They're pretty basic.

Yep - just like I figured. I think the amount of what you eat when you eat it would starve me to death.

Terry is our efficiency expert in all things - from cyber to fridges to food and energy conservation. I am all astonishment However, he has this lamentable habit of lapsing into a speech impediment when in the proximal vicinity of certain young Swiss ladies - who also have the same problem. Hmmm...*smile*

I am telnetting via crt from haleakala.aloha.net to www.spring.net, and it is a very odd experience. crt is cool, slippery and about mach 3 compared with MS telnet-for-free... Thanks for telling me about it, Terry! (Think he'd starve me to death, as well..bringing my own food, I guess *grin*)

I had two oversize bagels from HEB and some good coffee this morning. I went to Leighton Hodges Halloween Party last night and will run the tape today on our main page. Leighton's parties rock! I had some spinachy appetizers and drank a lot of berry flavored spring water. If you watch, I'm the one with the 3 foot long blond curly hair, fisherman's hat and red bathrobe.

That's what I call making a stand!

Leighton's parties are always great. Great music, great guests, good food, and a room where you can get your digital picture taken.

I certainly hope you did because I cannot imagine you in a long curly blond wig (did you have more fun?!) and I could not see you on Spring Cam...and I looked a lot! I was all disappointment!

(Strange things happen to me when I try to telnet with crt...it does not use the backspace to delete my mistypings...Sorry!)

To fix your backspace type ok:!stty erase (hit the key for backspace)

ok...I was looking through my vi commands and did not see that one. Thanks!

I'm still sipping that cup 'o java and you're on the second course, do you have your afterburners running on high today?

ummm... sort of I suppose... just general increased activity level I think! (how ya been?)

Been good, I'll be doing a lot of construction out in Cedar Creek this weekend. And I'm hoping we can access.spring.net straightened out soon!

And so you have - Peter just emailed me that it was fixed and I tested mine and Wolfie's and they both came in loud and clear. coffee chinese noodle soup onion bagel with cream cheese and lox water

Korean Bento for dinner with seaweed salad and rice and teriyaki beef and potomac salad.

Just like when there are a lot of leftovers too good to be thrown away, this topic has been frozen. Please continue in http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/read/food/63
