| Recipes | Need help with ideas cooking spinach | Aug 02 2008 02:00 (UTC) |

super tasty way to make spinach. easy and very versatile: chop onion and garlic , drop in hot pan sprayed with pam. add black pepper. wilt spinach. turn off heat, add feta cheese crumbles or goat cheese crumbles. fold into spinach. serve as a side dish, or use as a filler for Pillsbury crescent rolls.....PHENOMENAL! |

i feel you on this,tastytreat: i take it personal when people litter. It's like people still smoking when they know it causes lung cancer...WAKE UP PEOPLE!!
Sunday morning my son and i went for an early walk, and i found 2 beer cans, right in the middle of the sidewalk.grrrrrrrrrr... i brought them home to recycle too, hell, i make the guys in my garage recycle plastic,paper and cans. the thought of these guys just tossing these everyday items in the trash drives me MAD!! i feel like the mother of 113 men. PIA's!!
that being said, i feel your pain. it sucks that you have to be upset about this. i know i would be hurt/offended as well. not to mention being afraid of the fact that you were alone at the time. I know i wouldnt want to give up walking. it is very theraputic. be safe when you are out there, if you walk in the dark, stay on well lit streets/paths.always keep your cell phone in your hand in case of an emergency, and if you must listen to music, keep one ear out so you can hear your surroundings. hope this helps... dont dwell on it, and thanks for sticking up for our planet! she needs alll the help she can get right now!

| Fitness | Dumb Question....About Running? | May 14 2008 20:46 (UTC) |

hey beatrice, first off, i think it is AWESOME that you want to run!! super awesome!
I decided on March 13th that i was going to try my hand at running. I asked a million questions on this site, and got great advice on sneakers, bras and everything in between. Istarted out with my block. Just from my house to the end of the street. It wasnt so bad. Next day i added a 2nd block and so on and so on. Last tuesday I ran 3 straight miles on the boardwalk!! Well, when i say run, i mean jog. Slow and steady works for me. I carry a handheld GPS so i know exactly how far i am going.
Lots of times i run(jog) .5 mile, walk .5 mile. then walk 1 mile and run(jog) 1 mile. do what feels right, dont push it, even if you are going to run in short bursts, dont flat out RUN as fast as you can...just keep it steady and slow. that way you wont burn out so fast!
i wish you the best of luck, and i hope my advice can help you in some way! peace, jadaka |

my hub bought me a ropeless jumprope for my bday last week. it rocks!!! it is digital and counts how many jumps, how many calories burned and your duration. it even has weights that came with it that you insert into the handles (then screw the cap on) they are less than a lb. it is so cool! he got it for me from amazon.com
good luck! |

| Foods | A Question about Hummus | Apr 27 2008 19:48 (UTC) |
3 |
of course i found this thread AFTER i made some homeade hummus today...i , like you strawberry dolly, just wanted to try it out and knew it had chick peas in it. so, i made my own...
first i chopped 2 cloves garlic and one long hot pepper, threw it in the magic bullet with some salt,pepper, onion powder and chili powder, then i slowly added the chick peas. it was super thick, so i cut it down with some vegetable stock. (chx stock would work just as well) i smeared it on a flat wrap, then loaded it up with blanched asparagus, tomato and baby spinach. it had 120 calories in it, so good...so i had 2! |

you girls are great and so funny!! bouncing boobs and runny noses... you give me SO MUCH to look forward to when i think about running!!!
i love the idea of tampons! haha, you should just shove em up there and take a pic for our sake!! running with those little buggers up your nose may be difficult tho, the strings would tickle your lips!!
haha
sorry, i couldnt resist!
anyhow, the bandana thing sounds good, if you tie it around your wrist and wipe as you go. I dont think i could pull off sleeves since i am constantly yelling at my little ones to use tissues!! heehee i told hubby that you ladies gave me motivation to run...he said walk briskly and jog first. do not start running out of the gate or i will hurt myself and HATE it and swear it off for life! |

OLIVIA: you crack me up! i always invision wrapping the girls up in ace bandages...as you can see from my profile pick, the girls do tend to smack me around!! haha I have lost 22 lbs from CC so far, and although my boobs have shrunk a bit, i am still nursing my 3 month old. My girlfriend just said to get out there and make milk shakes for stella's lunch!!
I DO have a jogging stroller, which I HAD to have...mostly becaue i like the 3 wheel look...not because my ass was gonna jog... really at this point i am just making excuses... i gotta go get an ace bandage! |
