do you help at all with the cooking?

i do a little, but not much. i like helping out when i go visit people, though.

i usually wash the rice and put it in the cooker.

otherwise, set the table. i need to cook more. when i'm home by myself i try various things, but then there's less motivation b/c doing it all for myself, not worth the hassle.

elyse, don't do that on my account. wouldn't mind working on non-burger edibles that day. and i only found out about my friend's thing yesterday.

just finished a bowl of rice krispies.

Whole, 2% or skim...?

=R=

D: 1%

the one you left out.

I have a group of college friends with which I regularly share a vacation house for the week. After years of having to buy four different kinds of milk, I buy whole and skim and let people mix their own.

a fruit i don't know (shape, color and size of plum, seed inside is shape of football).

What plum shape and colour because plums come in several shapes and colours? I'm guessing this unknown fruit is good since you had two? I love different fruit. Apples are so out except when cooked.

I used to have a roommate in college who would only eat cereal with half and half. Pretty sure he's dead by now :wink:

What I like even more is to just buy fancy creamline milk. That way the anti-fat people can pour skim and the rest of us can have a little fat in our milk. I, of course, derive great pleasure from pointing out that full fat milk is still only 4%, and that they're getting a lot more fat from one pat of butter than they do from an entire cereal bowl of milk. You have to drink a LOT of milk before skim versus whole makes a significant difference in your fat/calorie intake.

Another thing I like about creamline milk is that I find it tastes creamier than homogenized whole milk and yet feels lighter at the same time. This, I think, has something to do with the smaller size of the fat particles in homogenized milk and the fact that the homogenization process acts to thicken the milk slightly.

I knew a girl in high school who used to drink CREAM instead of milk. :wacko: She kept telling me how it tastes much better, but I've yet to try.

You're just eating the wrong apples... I've decided to go through the vast variety of apples available now and figure out if the modernmarketingmachine has generated anything that beats the old favorites (McIntosh and Winesap)... I'm rather liking Empires right now and they certainly fit within the tart and crunchy mold of the old favorites, actually, and the Galas just don't do much for me. There are a zillion varieties of apples out there, and finding the good ones is a fun hunt.
