i like to chop them and put them in banana bread and other baked goodies in place of raisins. but i mostly enjoy them plain.

hey chisai, it's too bad that didn't work out. comfort food is great, but make sure to eat some healthy stuff too. junk food brings down your mood, and cooking and sitting down to a healthy meal is a pick-me-up in itself, even without the nutritional benefits. so if you feel at all up to it, make some simple healthy dishes and spend some time in the great outdoors. :) hope you feel tip top again soon!

My mom has always been petite (about 110 pounds on a 5 foot frame) but she never seems to diet or go hungry, which I didn't understand because our family eats rather fat-laden ethnic food, and my father, while a healthy weight, has always had a belly. I never noticed my mom's unique eating habits until I myself became conscious of eating healthy, in my later teens. I suddenly noticed her eating habits and I can't say I was surprised anymore about her healthy build. My mom always ate at regular mealtimes, never ate between meals, consumed her food very slowly and deliberately, flavored her food strongly, never skimped on fat and grease, ate smaller or fewer portions than the rest of us, and always had a small, rich dessert before bed.

I will never be a slow eater, and I skip way too many meals to adhere to regular mealtimes, but I've learned a couple useful things from watching her (she always encouraged us to eat frequently and didn't teach us her eating style, so I learned most of it from watching). I've learned from her not to eat between meals, so I get good and hungry before mealtimes. I then try to make large, full-fat, complex meals that satisfy me at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.The rule of thumb I learned from her was, If you're hungry between meals, you didn't eat enough to satisfy yourself at mealtimes, so don't skimp during meals because it'll backfire.

I don't think her advice fits everyone, though. It is truly suited to a particularly Asian style of cooking and eating: long, multi-course family meals with several helpings of rice to fill you up and a variety of heavily flavored, non-low-fat toppings, sauces, curries, and stews to satisfy all your taste buds, heavy on vegetables with meat or seafood served once a week.

i don't feel too guilty throwing things out. the money's already spent and gone, whether the food goes into my stomach or into the trash. eating the crap food doesn't save any more money, bring any back, or somehow make the expense worth it. why make myself feel even worse by forcing myself to eat the crap i spent money on? i'd rather go hungry.

hi guys..

My way of making tea is very simple & I use to take milk with tea. Just take a cup of boiled water with sugar is already added while boiling, then I dip tea bags in the cup & a little milk. I love my Oolong tea. For more info regarding tea p/l visit my site http://mytealogic.com/

Food for the Gods! A friend of my mom's makes these for the holidays, and we usually get a huge box that everyone fights over. I like to fool myself into thinking these are healthy, what with the dates and nuts. But who am I kidding?

I chop them and add them to my alton browns protein bars or my ellie kreiger energy bars, which you can find on the food network, or I absolutely love the anise scented fig and date swirls which you can find on epicurious.com

A Big Boy Slim Jim sandwich and a chocolate shake. (wish i was hungover right now!)

College taught me a very important lesson: Sausage, egg and cheese sandwich with salt, pepper and ketchup. A Gatorade to wash it all down.
