have you heard these?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

I just came across a great site: hope you like these:
You Know You’re In California When…

The fastest part of your commute is down your driveway.

You were born somewhere else.

You know how to eat an artichoke.

The primary bugs that you worry about are electronic.

Your car has bulletproof windows.

Left is right and right is wrong.

Your monthly house payments exceed your annual income.

Your mouse has only one ball.

You need a new TV, you can run down to the local riot and pick one up.

You dive under a desk whenever a large truck goes by.

You can’t find your other earring because your son is wearing it.

You drive to your neighborhood block party.

Your family tree contains ’significant others’.

Your cat has it’s own psychiatrist.

You don’t exterminate your roaches, you smoke them.

You see 25 lawyers chasing an ambulance.

More than clothes come out of the closets.

When ‘the Dead’ are best live.

You go to a tanning salon before going to the beach.

Your blind date turns out to be your ex-spouse.

More money is spent on facelifts than on diapers.

Smoking in your office is not optional.

When you can’t schedule a meeting because you must ‘do lunch’.

Your children learn to walk in Birkenstocks.

Rainstorms or thunder are the lead story for the local news.

You’ll reluctantly miss yoga class to wait for the hot tub repairman.

You consult your horoscope before planning your day.

A glass has been reserved for you at your favorite winery.

When all highways into the state say: ‘no fruits’.

All highways out of the state say: ‘Go back’

Please evaluate my eating for the past two weeks?

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

I would like to get your opinon about the nutrional aspects of how/what I eat. I have the past week (I have two weeks recorded so far). Particularly, I would like to know if I should be getting more/less of a certain vitamin or mineral. I started to get concerned about the folate intake I have and thought I would throw this out there.

By the way, I am trying to lose weight right now, which is why my calories are a little lower than usual, but eventually I would like to incorporate more healthy foods that will balance out my daily nutrition.

One other question: When experts talk about getting enough of a certain vitamin or folate, for example, is this EVERY day, or is it really that strict? Like, if I were to only get half of the recommended intake of folate for a couple of days, will that negate all the other days I was eating enough? THANKS in advance, as this board won’t allow me to respond once I post =(

Pesto.any ideas?

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Ok, I have several bags of frozen veggies: artichokes, broccoli, and asparagus spears
some sun dried tomatoes (jarred)
a jar of pesto sauce from Trader Joes
some multigrain with flax pasta
and am having the hubby grab some chicken on the way home
any ideas of an easy but delicious way to combine these ingredients (can leave something out if necessary)
Unsure if I should cook the veggies and chicken seperate or right in the pesto…
thanks!

Alcohol Question?

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Ok, so at our family reunion this year, we are having a contest to see if someone can come up with the weirdest most grotesque kind of liquor or alcoholoc beverage ever! Can anyone suggest anything? We have a bottle already of Artichoke Liquor, but I have a feeling it’s not going to top anything… HELP! Thanks all!!
