Jello of any kind. Pudding with the skin on top. Canned tuna. These are the most disgustingly foul "foods" ever created. I can't even watch people eat them without getting nauseous. |

If you're going to a fondue restaurant, I wouldn't even bother counting calories. You're talking about melted cheese and chocolate as your primary dinner/dessert. Just enjoy it within reason and try to keep your Melting Pot visits at a minimum. :) Hey, you've got to enjoy once in a while, right?

Lorik, Money and language do not make a difference at all. Not only are you getting way off subject, but that particular inference is really insulting. Because I said, "when it happens to our people in our country", you are assuming that I do not feel anything for people who have less money or speak a different language. That is a completely irresponsible and unfounded thing for you to say. Look at all of the people living here in the U.S. who don't have money or speak a different language (some of whom were ALSO killed on 9/11). Frankly, I think you're just looking for an argument and it's probably a waste of my time even replying to your post. All I'm saying is that it is natural for a society to mourn the loss of its fellow members. I am not saying that we shouldn't mourn the loss of all of the other people in the world who have died tragically, or that we shouldn't do what we can to aid people across the globe who are suffering. What I don't understand is why you feel we shouldn't mourn the loss of our fellow Americans. There's nothing wrong with being "patriotic" either. By the way, what are you doing personally to help all of the suffering and downtrodden people of the world? Just thought I'd ask. |

| Beautifully said, NYC Girl. My husband was there that day too and barely escaped with his life. What you described in your post was exactly what he described to me. He watched many people jump to their deaths because they had to make the heart-wrenching choice of either burning to death or falling to their death. He ran for his life with the thousands of people who were like rats fleeing from a sinking ship as the towers collapsed in front of them, with the sound of glass and metal shooting past their heads. He was one of the dust-covered, devastated, broken, but ALIVE people who was fortunate enough to walk away from the tragedy of 9-11. It is one thing to watch it on TV and say, "What about all the other stuff going in in the world? Shouldn't we be upset about that too?" People who say that need to remember that 9-11 was an unwarranted terrorist attack that killed thousands of people in one shot. It was the most devastating attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor. It happened in OUR country to OUR people. I'm sure that all of us either know someone or know of someone who was involved in that tragedy. That's why it remains in the hearts and the psyche of the American people. Yes, Iraq is sad, Darfur is sad, all of it is tragic. But when it happens to us, it hits a hell of a lot closer to home. | |||
| Foods | Greek Style Yogurt | Sep 13 2007 01:51 (UTC) |

| I agree with Santonacci. The Fage brand of Greek yogurt is awesome. It comes in 5 oz. containers and you can get the O% fat kind (as well as the full-fat kind). You don't have to go to Trader Joe's to get it either. I buy Fage yogurt at the Acme. I'm pretty sure you can get it just about anywhere, and the extra $ that you spend on it is well worth not having to strain regular ol' plain yogurt through cheesecloth. | |||
