Um, yeah that's what I meant. :sweat: But I probably can't cut back on the rice, so I might just go with brown rice instead.

Ima kara, genmai wo tabemashita. It was pretty good....I made it with some garlic.

Cool. Watashitachi manzoku deshita. :victory:

Seriously though, white rice isn't really bad for you but brown rice is really good for you. The minerals, the vitamins, and fiber that are present in it, are non-existent or greatly reduced in white rice. They basically polish them away and you're left with the white grain.

Haha. I'm gonna leave that one alone!

Yer no fun. :P

Yes exactly. I mean really, you can eat anything... in moderation. And as long as you're active enough to ensure that things don't "stick".

Today for dinner I had kabob and naan. :drooling: It wasn't as spicy as I would have liked it, but it was BBQ'd, which I've missed.

sounds delicious....i had a salad. ^_^

I had pizza and ate my leftover cake yesterday (surprisingly, still tasted good
:beaten:). i think i gained about 2 pounds... i'll just get rid of it again.

@Cori, i've heard that eating a lot of those fast food chicken makes your boobs grow bigger :beaten:

wrote:A good way to keep from feeling too hungry is to eat a combination of good fats and protein, and stay away from caffeine and a lot of carbs. I usually try to have oatmeal, some organic sausage, and eggs for breakfast in a small amount. I never feel hungry after eating that.

dang, you guys have organic sausages too?

There's a a dirty joke in there waiting to get out.... :hehe:

made chicken Katsu and Negimaki rolls for dinner - and still have enough for lunch tomorrow at work.

The presentation wasn't as neato as how they do it at my local japanese takeout joint - still was my first try following Google recipe leads.

anyone know of popular recipe sites for do-it-yourself Japanese food? thanks in advance. :)

Is that something that's rare outside the states?

Probably, since we probably have the most unhealthy diets in the world. :sweat:

I've never understood the organic thing. What do you get for the extra cost? Better tasting food?

It's supposed to not have preservatives, or artificial stuff...that just confuses your body. It also is supposed to be grown without pesticides. Some organic food also doesn't have hydrogenated components. It doesn't really taste better and tends to cost more because it's not made by large evil companies who use slave labor.

i didn't quote it from Wyn / Cori right? :beaten:

maybe yes when you live in a 3rd world country, but it definitely is here :beaten: . they don't really make sausages here. you can't even find a stand-alone poultry here outside the supermarket

something more rare here is a veggie sausage

Yech. Fast food chicken? If that's the case, I'd rather stick to my small boobs. :hehe:

What does that mean? :angeldevil:

And keeping this on topic, I had some cake noodle, mochiko chicken, steak, and candied walnuts with rice on the side (natch) for dinner tonight. Very yummy. :victory:

We had tandoori stir fry chicken :)

:applaud: well said - although even big chains try to jump on to the organic bandwagon :sweat: with mixed results because they might skip the additives but still slave people.

*vows to eat as natural as possible*

Trader Joes is good for organic, and Whole Foods is even better if you have the money. Safeway blows...their stuff is good as organic goes, but they treat their underlings like crap.

I love Whole Foods...but it is expensive for most things...but the quality is superlative....they recently built a Whole Foods Market in Pasadena (here in SoCal) and it's 2 floors with approx. 76,000 sq. ft....it's the largest Whole Foods west of the Rocky Mountains, second only to the HQ store in Austin, TX....

O great, so now my rep consists of "terrible typer" and "dirty dirty mind". :doh: :beaten:

SUGOI NE! That's a huge market. I can't even navigate in our depressing ground floor markets... :sweat:

Yeah I was blown away when I first went in there...I'd never even seen a two story market before in SoCal.
