pie? Mashed potatoes, meat and vegie.

today?

for a "snack" I just had a smoothie thing I made, w/ 1/3 kefir, 1/3 plain
soy milk, 1/3 100% berry juice.

Lunch was 1/2 a whole wheat Pita (from Al Khayam bakery) w/ 1 slice swiss
cheese, 2 slices turkey lunchmeat and 2 slices of garden tomato.

Breakfast was coffee, and cereal (1/2 mueslix, 1/2 Honey Bunches of Oats)

Yesterday dinner was homemade "fried rice", w/ chives, bean sprouts,
mushrooms, and some bulgogi meat and brown rice.

I'll have more veggies tonight.

Happy?

That's one thing I'm not qualified to critique. I detest anything

Very often, it is. For example, the English and, perhaps surprisingly,
the French are often given to understatement - which is at once
understood as such by those in the know. If one says "pas mal la
petite" about a girl, one is expressing a genuine appreciation, without
going quite out of one's way. It is no different with food or anything
else, either.

I might try it but being lactose intolerant I'm sure the product would
give me the skeeters, that and I might also stroke out from all the
sodium.

I'm sure it tastes good though.

You ask for mashed at many even higher -end places (like steak places),
you'll get a re - hydrated product...can be surprisingly good, in fact I
like them a lot. I don't know if the food service rehy'd taters are exactly
like the stupormarket stuff or not...

That kinda sounds like a "crafts" project...but it could be do - able...

stl.dining is pretty much dead, I think I unsuscribed like five years ago.
stl.general is heading that way, I only read it for Terry Lomax's funny

Yep, but where you are and where I grew up (Iowa and western Illannoy
respectively), corn is a FOOD GROUP. Corn goes with everything, especially
gravy and mashed taters...

Brabs is a sensible eater, not gluttons like us. She feels "fat" if she's
like three pounds overweight...for us *dinner* sometimes weighs like three
pounds...

..max is a good influence too, pretty physically fit with all that bicycle
riding and stuff...

Also I bet she doesn't drink Scotch whilst posting to the interweb,
neither...

I don't see how they could be different, unless they have
flavored varieties or use different breeds of tater.
