The Vegan Experience Day 26: The Feed-A-Meathead Challenge

I did atkins. I'm still low carb. My blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels are greatly improved over what they were before. But then again, I don't have two daily starbucks venti lattes made with half and half, either.

The Vegan Experience, Day 5: Say No To Faux

Best veggie burger = tip a canoe in keene, ny. I get it over their (reasonably good) regular burger because it is that good.

Vegan: Chilaquiles with Pepitas, Charred Corn, and Black Beans

If you're worried about protein, black soy beans have more protein than black turtle beans and you can use them in largely the same way. I actually prefer them to regular black beans now.

Soda: Polar Seltzer's Christmas Flavors

HOLY CRAP WHY DON'T WE HAVE THESE FLAVORS IN ITHACA? I hate how regional the flavors seem to be - eg here in Ithaca we have Vanilla but no Blueberry; in New Paltz I've gotten Blueberry but no Georgia Peach; in Lake Placid I get Blueberry and Georgia Peach but no Vanilla.

I love all of the flavors even vanilla so I'm sure I'd love these... oh I need to find some so badly now!!!!

New Beer: Trader Joe's 2011 Vintage Ale

Sticky pie crust!!!

I have this problem too - pie crust sticking to my ceramic pie dish. Never had a problem with metal. No holes in the crust. Definitely not the filling leaking out. Buttering the pie dish well seems to solve the problem.

Eat Right for your Blood Type Diet - Anyone tried it?

Firstly, Monelle, while I am very glad to hear how well you're doing, and by no means do I mean to call you a liar, I find it extraordinarily unlikely that a doctor told you that you would not live more than four months without surgery. I find it much more likely that you were told that people in your condition lived an average of 4 months without surgery, and with surgery the average survival was four years.

Secondly, if the diet works for you, that's wonderful and absolutely you and your daughter should continue to eat in the way that makes you feel best. But the same way that it came up in the raw diet thread, there's no evidence to support the claim that it is the diet that has made you feel better, per se, as opposed to being more aware of what you're actually putting into your body in general.

myself, this sounds like a bunch of nonsense but if people want to follow it, what do I care?

From Talk

breakfast or sweet Italian sausage in the dressing?

breakfast or italian? if I HAD to pick one it would be breakfast - because of the sage. Italian flavors don't belong in stuffing. But really, I'd go with a nice spicy sage sausage.
