Avocados - I love you dearly, my green mushy friends, but you are practically made of fat. Like eating butter (Well, not really!)

Peanut butter  - It seems like common sense that you would be loaded with fat, but when I learned that the serving size for peanut butter was 2 tbsp and as loaded with fat as it is, my quality of life when down the toilet. I love you dearly as well, peanut butter, but it seems we can never be together.

I do actually get full at about 1300 calories a day. Today I had close to 1400 and I feel bloated and like a ate wayy too much. I used to eat over 2000 calories a day, but I just slowly worked my way down and I guess my stomach size shrank, so now I get full a lot faster. For example, I used to be able to go to like a pizza hut buffet, and EASILY pack down 4 or 5 pieces of pizza with a few bread sticks, and now I could only eat 2 pieces of pizza if im lucky. We're not nuts, we're just determined to lose weight and be healthier.

Same with me. I had pizza the other night, and it was the WEIRDEST THING: after I ate 1 measly slice, I was stuffed!

hannah- You have to remember that art imitates life, it doesn't necessarily take a picture of it.  There are a lot of nice statues out there, but I can't think of any that have made me uncomfortable in my special place.  Besides, there probably were some sweet ass statues of fine women that just broke apart because they were too skinny to withstand sandstorms and such.

Okay, FIRST OF ALL, DONT YOU KNOW YOUR ART PERIODS?

William Bougereau was a contemporary of impressionist artists in the height of impressionism. He didn't like impressionism, so he kept a much more classical style to all of his paintings. 

Knowing this is important because impressionism reached its peak in the very late 1800's in FRANCE. Most French art has been preserved quite nicely. And again, knowing your art periods is important so you can do a bit of simple math: All of the paintings that I referenced were 120 years old or less. They are practically babies. 

During the impressionist period in France, art was not for the shock value (or at least not until Toulouse-Lautrec's time, but that's another story). It was to create something that mirrored the ideal and the beautiful. 

BAH. 

Now there's a good word if ever I saw one

Girl: Medea, Penelope, Helen, Ariadne, Europa, A

Boy: Perseus, Atlas, Daedalus, Orpheus, Anaximander, Lucretius, Eupodecles, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, 

I named my little boy rabbit Whisper. Its a good name and it fits him well; he is quiet and he has wispy black fur and deep blue eyes.

Oh and everything in the pirate booty genre

the white areas are lard

Dont eat 'em their gross

the red bits are still awful for you but still a little better

Best healthy guacamole recipe ever (made by me)

Mush up 2 avocados

Put 1 minced tomato in there with the mushings

cut up a shallot into teensy pieces and stick it in

squeeze some lime juice in there

add a crapload of cilantro

and then add salt to ur taste.

I eat it with a spoon, not chips. Better for you, and you get more guac per square inch of tongue

Notice that all of these ladies are naked, pudgy (or fat), and still beautiful

option two IS pretty! She isn't skinny, but her body is still beautiful! I'd choose her ANY DAY over option 1 or 3

I have a friend who is a university student and she pretty much subsists on beans n' lentils n' rice, which she buys in enormous 20 or 30 lb bags. Buying stuff in big quantities usually makes it cheaper per lb. Plus, stuff that comes in bags that size tends to spoil later than other stuff. Good luck!

Tofu and soy products are certainly Kosher. In fact, Orthodox Jews have been using soy dairy for a long time because eating milk and meat together is strictly forbidden, or even consuming milk after meat before 1 hour is up. And doing that can get a little cumbersome, so they use soy milk. Incidentally, there is one ice cream sandwich, Toffutti Cuties, which uses soy and it is SO GOOD. 

All vegetables are kosher. Here is a list of non-kosher foods according to the Torah:

Shrimp/Lobster

Fish without scales (such as eel) or bottom feeding fish (such as catfish) 

Pork

Insects with more or less than 6 legs

Milk & meat together "Thou shalt not consume a calf in its mother's milk" (This is a BIG no-no. Wealthy Orthodox Jews sometimes used to have 2 seperate kitchens, one for meat and one for dairy.)

Baby animals, although this depends on who you talk to. Sephardic (Middle Eastern and Spanish Jews) tend not to have a problem with eating baby animals, but most Ashgenazi (European) Jews do. 

Hope that was helpful!!!!

It is interesting, and a good topic for another thread...
