No, I left out the Christmas cake.
Well at least you ate a balanced meal. Bananas are a complete food, Avocados are high in Omega 3 Fatty Acids, and we'll excuse the Sour Cream cuz' it tastes good. ;-)

Is this the diet thread? OK, I had two whoppers, baked chicken, mounds candy bars, crackers, bread, sweet potatoes, and a piece of birthday cake today. It was a low calorie day. :) Yesterday I had 3 whoppers and a buck double, and for dessert I had HagenDas chocolate ice-cream with chocolate chips plus a piece of cake. And believe it or not, I am not overweight.
God is always good!
Oh, I believe it. I bet you wouldn't eat those Whoppers though if you knew what went in to the hamburger. Try looking up "Pink Slime". It is a filler made from waste beef that is pulverized, liquified, has ammonia added to kill the e-coli, frozen, and then mixed into regular hamburger as a "stretcher" and to cut costs. Burker King, McDonalds, and Taco Bell all use it. I would guess most of the other major chains do as well. Even the guys at the USDA are disgusted that they are allowed to use it and still call it "hamburger". It is also mixed into a lot of the bulk pack hamburger in the Grocery Store. Anymore I buy my hamburger from a small local family operated meat market that grinds it there.

It's because of sour cream that perogies are so popular I think.
I just had them because they were on sale, 2 for $3 yesterday. And today I used a buy one get one free coupon. I suppose the "waste beef" is mostly fat which would help account for the high fat content of a whopper. They are corn fed also which makes the beef fatter, and to make it worse they are fed genetically engineered corn. I know it is far from the best beef, but I am poor and just eat what I can afford.
God is always good!
I hear you. I'm not exactly rolling in dough myself, but I am a decent cook and so have learned how to make do with what I can afford and still eat well. I rarely eat out since I can eat better on the same money if I make it myself. It just takes confronting it and planning ahead.

as another poor guy, I would highly recommend, bananas, and avocadoes. brown, wild rice with salmon and mixed vegetables, oil , lemon juice and vinegar is good too. and perogies with sour cream.
I forgot onions and garlic mixed with the rice or perogies. People misunderestimate onions and garlic.
Not in tight spaces they don't.

And believe it or not, I am not overweight. The reason you aren't overweight is you eat so damned much food and garbage you lose weight carrying it around. Better watch out for ticker problems and plugged arteries down the road.
Yes, I really don't know much about them, but we're going to Mexico for a month, maybe, in March and we wanted to have something to use there for Spanish lessons and taking photos and the like. I thought some here may have an informed opinion on these devices, but ya never know which way the thread will blow.
Can you get spellcheck with it? Let's hope so, that is an app I could really use.
Hope you're driving. BTW, have you gotten your month supply of bottled water, a Good AK47, and a few thousand rounds of Ammo??
Women who smoke cigarettes and eat chocolate do it on the first date.

This will not be borne, and you will have to choose between reform and revolution. If I know the spirit of this country, the one or the other is inevitable." - Thomas Jefferson
Of course, you included 'Breakin' the Law'.......right? : )

lol......I forgot to eat dinner, but I did drink my nutrients in two Hefeweizen's with orange slices sipped in the midst of excellent conversation. Wheat, Barley, Fruit.....well rounded I say. Discuss?

All the food talk sent me to the kitchen for some KickAss cornbread and red plum preserves.
Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its idiot.
Mmmmmmmmmmm........I've been hankering for some KickAss cornbread and red plum preserves. : ) Sounds DElicious!!

You're most welcome. I'm going with 3 Rotels today - report to follow. The older I get, the zippier the food needs to be.

Which Mexican Cornbread mix?

My mom was from New Mexico - I grew up on the shit. What most people consider hot I consider medium to mild. I find I have gone the opposite and toned down the spices a bit. For a nice side try grilled Jalapenos. Cut them in half, seed them, and then coat them in Olive Oil and grill over Mesquite until you see them turning dark brown to black in places. Yum!

The 6oz package says from the Makers of Martha White, Gladiola, Mexican Style Cornbread Mix, made with Jalapeno Peppers. First time to notice the JP claim, but they're not enough for my taste. Also, check out mezzetta.com/jalapenopepper/ tamed jalepenos - I've not found them locally, but my brother says they are wonderful.

I can't put in any heat if I want my girls to eat de cornbread.... : )

If you want to grow your own Jalapenos - in the milder kind look for Senorita or "Fooled You".

It's really not that hot. Our nine y.o. nephews love the stuff with a good bowl of Navy bean, or Senate, soup. I'm about to become hungry again...

Can I get the seeds for BugOut day?

That's funny.
I so wish we were. No we are flying to Puerto Vallatra, a great International City, spending a few weeks there entertaining some family and guests, then onto our real Mex Gem, Melaque, for the next few weeks. This is the place where we hope to spend winters in the near future. Driving through Mex is just so much fun. Utter blast till some one gets an eye put out. Costa Allerga is safer than where most of us post from, I am pretty sure. And a heck of alot nicer, at least in the winter months.
Had a friend years ago that I lost touch with, but he and his wife were fanatical to live full time in ? Curevaccia ?. I hope they made it.
Thanks Pal! Based on Android OS, similar to the NOOK by Barnes & Noble, I think I have bot an e reader and a functional computer in a device that is about the size of a larger magazine, and has a wild touch screen. Looked at the NOOK a few days ago, and I "think" I got a lot more fore less, the NOOK retails for $150 and "I think" has much more limited capabilities than an Android tablet. And I do not even have the thing in my hand yet - maybe it will be broke when I get it, but I was not too aware of this explosion of cheap really Hi Tech super friendly computational power in the market right now. Heads Up 4UM. These tablets are going to change things. How I do not know.
That's my comment
The cost of basic computing power is going down again and because of their ease of use and portability they will eclipse most notebook computers. Apple has been trying to prevent that by making the iPad less capable than it could be, for example no USB port, and not have it cut into their notebook computer sales, but I think the competition is going to force their hand.

Open Systems Win. Me-I do not know if this is true. If so, from what I can see, is Android wins over Kindle.
Me-I do not know if this is true. If so, from what I can see, is Android wins over Kindle. Hands down from what I have heard. I suspect Apple is going to be forced into either dropping the price on the iPad, adding more functionality, or both. And they will have to enable data exchange between the iPad and other Macs, along with porting over OS X to the iPad. Also because there will be competitors that will offer most of the functionality of a PC because the Pad type computer is their main product Apple will have no choice or they will again lose market share because of their high prices. Competition is good for the consumer.

Well, I will review a 7" Android in a few days.
