I finally got round to watching Avatar yesterday. I quite liked it, but it really reminded me of a cartoon film my kids used to watch called 'Ferngully'. I've never seen Avatar but if I'd known it was like Ferngully I might have watched it! I still watch that movie sometimes and I'm 23 :shock: It's...

I only saw one movie really in 2010...I'm not a big movie person. Committing two hours to one show on a screen is really unappealing for me. And the one movie I saw was Black Swan because my mother and sister really wanted to see it and dragged me along and I spent half of it covering my eyes during...

I like where I live because I'm near my family and I like how Michigan has all four seasons (winter has regular snow, hot, sunny summers etc.) and huge unemployment problems aside, I think it has a lot going for it. However, if I could buy a vacation home anyplace I wanted, I would probably choose t...

Just passed my first round of S days too and I made a pan of brownies on Sunday morning and ate them for breakfast, lunch, and snacks all day. Very nice but I was indeed surprised to note that giving myself total permission to eat them made them somewhat less appealing after the second plateful. Wei...

Your fajitas recipe looks really good, I've never made those before so I might have to try it. I generally make m'jeddrah when I want something quick and easy especially if it's cold out. You saute a bunch of lightly chopped or sliced onions (I like doing five or six small ones or three big ones) in...

Culturally we certainly seem to be far more interested in "health" and "nutrition" than before but are ironically less healthy. I've always wondered if all that harping on tv, in magazines, in conversation about weight, health, and nutrition doesn't just exacerbate the problem. I know personally hea...

Oh and if you do decide to drink black coffee per Reinhard's suggestion and the bitterness bothers you, a tiny pinch of salt takes a lot of the bitterness away. Just add it to the coffee before you brew or immediately after when its still blazing hot. It's kind of the same reasoning behind adding sa...

I had the same problem after my daughter was born and found it easier to gradually reduce the amount of sugar and cream I put in my coffee (I cut from 3 teaspoons to 2 - after two weeks I cut to 1 and a half teaspoons and then two weeks later to 1 teaspoon) and did the same thing with cream. I also ...

Food Rules is actually where I heard about No S and why I decided to Google and ultimately buy the book. My Mom loaned Food Rules to me and it's a pretty good book but I have to admit that some of his rules went in one ear and out the other. The "it's not food if it comes through the window of your ...
