all episodes of kuitan must be watched with a sock stuffed in your mouth to avoid hunger.

Totally. That drama needs to come with a warning label or something. :sweat:

Just enjoyed a meal of alloo keema! :drooling:

I'm still hungry tho... but the loss of 5 pounds has inspired me not to give in to the hunger...

I would eat it every day but....

My dad actually makes healthy pizza though. Organic multi-grain wheat crust and organic pesto.

yup watching that dorama with food on the brain is a bad idea :sweat:

sounds great....it's nice to get a different take on a favorite, especially since you enjoy eating pizza.

So the deeper the colour of the soba, the more healthy it is?

not necessarily, i was just pointing out there are different types of soba out there....and since the flour is made with different ingredients the nutrition differs accordingly.

Edit: the picture of the seiro soba I posted above is made with buckwheat flour from the white buckwheat heart

it's not just MSG...those noodles are loaded with salt....around 2-3 grams in one serving.....but yeah some instant noodles are very tasty

yup. when you get hungry while watching a dorama, all you need to do is pour boiled water and crack an egg.

:shocked: ???

2-3 grams? i'm pretty much sure people here eat more than that. i mean, everything here is salty! even satay uses salt.

sometimes i even eat 2 packs of instant noodles at a time.

ah, it has pork in it :puppydog: . anything that has pork wouldn't really be sold here. Goota looks delicious though

There are other type of Nissins. but it actually got me traumatized once coz the soup is just not my thing, it was the cheap (probably the cheapest kind) one. but maybe the other kinds are tasty

Hmm, wonder what letter grade that bakery got...? :sweat:

yeah but two to three grams for just one instant noodle serving is A LOT...trust me....that's not including all the other stuff you eat the rest of the day. If you're trying to lose weight you want to shy away from too much sodium because that's going to make your retain a lot of water weight.

I dare you to pour 3 grams of salt on a plate and see how much that is....you'll be surprised. it's like soft drinks like Coke and Pepsi.....each 12 ounce can here in America has the equivalent of 9 to 10 teaspoons of sugar....sooooo bad for you.....and to think I use to drink tons of soda everyday....I gave that shiet up about 3 or 4 years ago.

I've heard of a curry pan but not a nezumi pan....kono aji wa maji warui.

And the nezumi is quite fresh, too. :beaten:

Haha....seriously....you couldn't find a fresher one scurrying through the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo.

BTW, just came back from eating at Shinsengumi....5 of us ate a grip and it came out to 30 bucks a head. It was fairly quiet given the weather....the drive to and from was wack though.....it's seriously wet out there right now. :sweat:

whoah, this i never knew :beaten: ...

hmm... i guess i need to reduce my instant noodles consumption. maybe 2 packs / 2 weeks. that's not a lot right? :beaten:

Maybe more like zero to one per week... Most processed foods usually have a lot of sodium in them... Along with saturated fat and trans fats. :sweat:

indeed. :)

yeah it was tasty, no surpise there...but i was driving like a grandma on the way back up to l.a....while i was driving back north on Western...i literally saw around 7 or 8 fire dept vehicles, 4 engines and 3 or 4 paramedic teams speeding off somewhere all to the same location.... :sweat:

bmwracer gave you good advice...i'd try to stay away from it...you could be eating worse things though....but it's generally not going to aid you in your progress of shedding pounds. like he said those processed foods tend to have too many calories and little or no nutrition...you eat that stuff...and you're still hungry later.

A Hong Kong sushi restaurant owner Saturday paid a record 55,700 dollars for a massive bluefin tuna in the first auction of the year at the worldfs largest fish market in Tokyo, an official and media reports said.

The 276-kilogram (607-pound) bluefin tuna — caught off Japanfs northern region of Aomori — sold for 6.07 million yen (55,706 dollars) or 22,000 yen (about 202 dollars) per kilo, an official at the Tsukiji fish market said.

The final price was a record for Japan and nearly two million yen more than the previous year, he added.
