More of what I ate today

~riette Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (07:13) #401

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.

~stacey Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (10:01) #402

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

~mrchips Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (19:46) #403

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.

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (20:15) #404

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

~mrchips Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (20:21) #405

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!

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (22:08) #406

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?!)

~mrchips Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (23:04) #407

Kelly Leong's little office?

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (23:21) #408

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.

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (23:23) #409

You gonna do any announcing?

~mrchips Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (23:26) #410

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.

~mrchips Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (23:27) #411

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

~MarciaH Wed, Sep 1, 1999 (23:46) #412

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...!

~mrchips Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (01:40) #413

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...

~riette Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (02:11) #414

YEAH!

~mrchips Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (03:25) #415

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!

~mrchips Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (06:36) #416

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.

~terry Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (10:25) #417

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

~riette Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (11:01) #418

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

~mrchips Thu, Sep 2, 1999 (21:51) #419

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

~riette Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (02:04) #420

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

~mrchips Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (03:44) #421

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

~riette Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (05:04) #422

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

~mrchips Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (06:45) #423

*lol

~terry Fri, Sep 3, 1999 (08:10) #424

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

~riette Tue, Sep 21, 1999 (13:01) #435

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

~Isabel Tue, Sep 21, 1999 (13:26) #436

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.

~terry Tue, Sep 21, 1999 (14:24) #437

~MarciaH Tue, Sep 21, 1999 (19:55) #442

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.

~riette Wed, Sep 22, 1999 (04:08) #443

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

~riette Wed, Sep 22, 1999 (04:09) #444

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

~Isabel Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (13:28) #445

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.)

~Isabel Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (13:28) #446

You ate more than I did. I forgot the coffeee and pastry I ate when I got to work.

~stacey Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (15:16) #450

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

~mrchips Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (15:24) #451

fig newtons, unsweetened ice tea

~terry Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (16:32) #452

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

~stacey Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (16:33) #453

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

~aschuth Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (17:06) #454

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!!!!

~stacey Mon, Sep 27, 1999 (17:19) #455

add a few Oh Henry! bars

~riette Tue, Sep 28, 1999 (00:57) #456

~terry Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (10:14) #459

Nothing yet. Spring is up!

~stacey Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (10:30) #460

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

~riette Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (12:39) #461

Potato bread? What's that?

~stacey Wed, Sep 29, 1999 (13:37) #462

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

~riette Thu, Sep 30, 1999 (02:10) #463

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

~stacey Thu, Sep 30, 1999 (08:59) #464

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

~terry Thu, Sep 30, 1999 (09:27) #465

~MarciaH Thu, Sep 30, 1999 (18:12) #469

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...!

~terry Thu, Sep 30, 1999 (20:59) #470

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

~mrchips Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (21:27) #471

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

~MarciaH Fri, Oct 1, 1999 (23:45) #472

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. Think if he had to cut back and eliminate some of - or all of - the conferences?! Please! Send contributions to: Paul Terry Walhus The Spring 9011 Quail Creek Dr Austin, TX 78758

~riette Sat, Oct 2, 1999 (01:44) #473

Thanks for that one.

~Isabel Tue, Oct 19, 1999 (13:19) #475

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!

~aschuth Tue, Oct 19, 1999 (13:37) #476

~riette Wed, Oct 20, 1999 (05:57) #478

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

~aschuth Wed, Oct 20, 1999 (11:12) #479

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

~MarciaH Wed, Oct 20, 1999 (15:13) #480

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

Wow, health food...

~MarciaH Mon, Oct 25, 1999 (15:06) #485

Hawaiian Health food. The musubi was not entirely trash. It was surrounded by seaweed which is a delicious addition and flavor - perhaps an aquired one... Granola with cream cheese Coffee Vienna sausages and rice pickle water vitamins water

~MarciaH Mon, Oct 25, 1999 (15:51) #489

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

~autumn Tue, Oct 26, 1999 (19:23) #491

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.

~MarciaH Tue, Oct 26, 1999 (19:49) #492

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...

~riette Wed, Oct 27, 1999 (02:50) #493

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

~terry Wed, Oct 27, 1999 (05:52) #494

soy sloppy joe, yum!

~MarciaH Wed, Oct 27, 1999 (15:51) #495

(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

~stacey Wed, Oct 27, 1999 (17:43) #496

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...

~autumn Wed, Oct 27, 1999 (22:17) #497

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

~MarciaH Thu, Oct 28, 1999 (01:18) #498

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)

~riette Thu, Oct 28, 1999 (05:13) #499

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

~terry Thu, Oct 28, 1999 (08:44) #500

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