Hey team!

Listen up!

It looks like it doesn't matter that you saw the answer to the brain bender before you knew there was one.

Somebody just post the answer in this thread and you'll get a prize of some kind.

Who will be johnny on the spot with this????

I already posted in my journal yesterday, if no one else has.

Beware the three week syndrome

Oh Jeff, I posted in your journal about the Brain Bender.

cecily wins - shes worked so hard!

woohoo!!! cecily !!!

I see that in your journal!!!  way to go!!!

I will report you as our winner!

*goes to team captain thread*

Ha ha!  I didn't know if it would *count* but I filled it out for the sake of answering all parts.  Now I just have to complete part 4.  I'll get to it this weekend.

OK.

Here is my nutrition link for my favorite healthy food.

The luscious AVOCADO!

Everybody always says, oh no, it's so high in fat!  But the thing is, it's got the good fat that your body needs to work more effectively. And fat makes you feel full so you don't wanna keep snacking later. And just look at all the good things about avocados.  Scroll down to check out the comparison with butter and oil.  Try spreading avocdo on your toast in the morning instead of butter....

Once you go green, you'll never go back!

Tip: to keep avocado from turning brown, dice it up and wrap it in plastic wrap so that there's no air in contact with the avocado. Also, dice it up and squeeze a little fresh lemon or lime juice on it and that will keep it from oxidizing for a while if it's exposed to air.

Thanks for the post cecily in my journal.  Wow, And I actually spent time decoding... lol  The simplest answer is usually the correct one.  I should have paid more attention to the posting. I missed that hyperlink :) Thanks for the answer!  I thought it had something to do with the letter H (because it is right before your I). 

Where is every-ones link to their nutritious food???  I am going to buy some avocados.  I never eat them but after reading about them they are very healthy.  Thanks nomore for the info.

No problem.  I didn't realize the *i* was a hyperlink at first, either.  I posted my links on nutritious food in my journal.  My choice was squash.

I love avacados, too!  My mom wouldn't buy them often because she said they are full of fat, but it looks like it's the good fat, right?  That's what I understood from the reading.  And they have so many fewer cals than butter, mayo, etc.  I had no idea!

cecily, I love squash and zucchini too!  I always dice up a squash or zucchini and lightly sautee and then add to marinara sauce -- adds fiber and phyto-thingamajiggys.  Then serve over whole wheat pasta or use as pizza sauce on whole wheat pita bread...

Baked squash... sauteed squash... mmmmm it's yummy!

I like to make these little garnishes with zucchini (or cucumbers).  You cut a 4-inch segment of the zucchini. Then slice a thin layer off the bottom so it will sit flat on the plate.  Then slice a thin  layer off the top. Then slice another thin layer back, but leave it attached by 1/4 to 1/2 inch at one end - this will be folded back to be the 'sail' of your 'boat'. Then lift up the flap you just made and scoop out the middle of the zucchini with a melon baller.  Fill the center with tapenade or lobster salad or other filling. Then lift that flap and bring it toward the back of the boat and stick a toothpick to hold it in place like the sail of a boat.  They are so cute!

i would have picked avocado too if i were ahead of the curve this week - good choice nomo - jeff, look for mine sometime this weekend...

NEW NEWS!

We're getting a new team member!!!!  Slappy will remain our namesake, our inspiration and our most valued cheerleader!!

Oh no, we're losing Slappy?!?!?!  We'll I'm sorry to hear that, but I can't wait to meet our new team member!

Btw, the garnishes are cute!  They look like something fun for kids to eat, too.  Maybe when my little man is old enough, I can get him to eat his veggies by getting creative with them. 

*curious* Y'all incorporating the one lonely "Team I" Player? :)

Hi Friends :) 

Please welcome & friend  your new team member lshepler ~ hopefully they'll get the message and get over to meet yur soon!

Thanks for taking Is under your wings and making welcome!  You guys all rock!  Woo hooo :)

pssst... if no one else signs up, we'll be sending lindsay here too!

Thanks!

I have added lshepler as a friend -- so she can see our team journal entries in my journal.

Welcome lshepler!!!!!   Slappy will be relieved to know that you're going to help us out so we're firing on all pistons!

Which reminds me -- thatbubblychick hasn't checked in with us - she replaced npinkerton -- does she know this???   I wonder....

lshepler, nice to meet you! 

I have a question.  If we might also gain Lindsay on our team, does that mean we are losing another member?  We can't have more players than the other team.  Or would we only tabulate points for 9 out of 10 players, like when they make a person (or multiple people) sit out of challenges on Survivor when one team has more players.

*Hears HK crying "Foul" in the distance* :P

Nah, not gonna call Foul...

If Team Kick A$$ got 10 players instead of 9, I'd assume that Jules and the various Team Heads would multiply the scores from the other seven teams by a factor so we're all on a level playing field.

Yes, that seems to be the best solution HK.  :)  But if Thatbubblychick doesn't check in, we might still have just 9.  I think she knows she's on our team now because I welcomed her when Nicole stepped down and she responded back.  Maybe she just didn't know the challenge started yet?
