More than welcome to come on over Barry! Got plenty of coffee... like tons of it! XD

The sausage was almost done, just needed a couple more minutes actually. My biggest worry with foods like that is being under cooked. I have a bad habit of taking it off the stove top and its not cooked all the way through. Great way to make yourself sick... XD

So far I haven't started any fires, though I set off my smoke alarm once while making pancakes. lol Dad thought it was funny and the ongoing gag is that I use my smoke alarm as a cooking timer.

Great video Jedi.

They sure looked yummy!

Made my infamous pasta salad for the church potluck tonight. We're having sliders! My previous co-workers used to rave about my pasta salad, but it's been about four years since I've made it. Too much for one person. lol

I donated blood today and now I'm eating A LOT. Mostly chocolate

For Swiss chocolate I'd donate gallons!! Way to go Dash!!

That salad looks good!

I just had goulash for the first time in years....it was awesome!!

Not sure how many gallons of blood there are in a single person

I'm the only one in my family who donates blood. My then-boyfriend's sister urged me into it when I was 20 or so (she's a nurse).

You don't get money for it in Switzerland. But you get something to drink, a sandwich and chocolate afterwards

I can't think of anything better Dash! The Red Cross here does the same thing. Some of the food is outstanding. I like to think Mac would donate too.

Today its flat out easy and lazy and yummy.

Yummy!!!

My all time favorite snack

I had steak and mashed potatoes today. It's funny, because when I was recovering from food poisoning, I started getting this intense craving for strawberries, even though they're out of season. So I've been eating a lot, lately. I went to buy more, and came home with the steak, too. Turned out to be really good meat, though! Might be the best steak I've eaten.

Naughty weekend for me with loads of junkfood.

Maybe some recipes and explaining the way to cook might be interesting.

Anyway ever since I left home I lived for nearly five years on microwave food. I never felt like cooking after I came home at 8 o' clock in the evening after a 12 hour working day. It wasn't until I moved to the city, the loss of a job and a decent stove that got me to cooking. Now I cook regularly but not every day/week. I actually prefer to do it on Sunday evening for several days and that is if I got any ideas for cooking. In the last three weeks I made several dishes that lasted nearly a week. Maybe an entire week is a bit too much for eating the same thing, but like I said, I only cook if I have some inspiration. I should just simply make a list of recipes, preferably from grandmothers kitchen, that I can make but I don't intend to have a meatloaf day or something.

That's a good idea, MG.

I pretty much eat the same thing for days on end. Not much variety from my end.

Not a bad idea, MG.

Well I am going to start with something simple.

Anybody like oats? How do you prepare your oats? I usually have 2 added spies i use which i feel are a match made in heaven.

When prepping your oats, add cinnamon & cayenne pepper for added flavor. (For some reason they see to compliment each other). Naturally only add as much as you can handle.

Got to try a lamb roast yesterday. Guess I can cross lamb off of my food bucket list now.

I still want to try rabbit and duck though, lol.

Well this coming weekend everyone has been craving some eisbein. Planning on gettingsome for a nice Sunday lunch!

Your food always looks good denizen. Send me some! lol

Found this today at the store, and I have to try it. There may be regrets later...

All that sugar combined with coffee?

Yup! Prepare the shovel! Someone will have to peel me off the ceiling.

My choice of food yesterday. A Roasted butternut, beetroot and feta cheese salad.

That looks tasty denizen! My sister and I getting steak and cheese subs tonight for dinner. I'm excited!

Sounds good. Today i begin my 2 week detox. Been feeling a little poisoned with all the less than stellar food choices lately (Aside from the salad above, that is) and need to cleanse my body.

So here goes my 2 week challenge!

I can barely survive two days trying to fix my diet. Hope this works out for you

Sushi and some salad.

Thanks Dragondog. So far so good. If you feel inside that its a restriction, you will always "Feel the pain" but it isn't much of a deterrence. Just about making the right choices.

Sushi is only good in moderation as the rice is fattening. And most sushi comprises of rice.

I haven't had good sushi since I left Virginia. We had an awesome, but expensive, Japanese Hibachi Restaurant called Sakura. We ate there about once a year, but their sushi was so good, you'd get cravings for it.

I did make the mistake of eating at Long John Silvers the other day. I get cravings for it sometimes, but everytime I eat there... I'm disappointed and have regrets. Plus it doesn't make me feel good either. I think it's all the grease. =P

Good luck denizen! Once my pay raise takes effect, I'm gonna be doing the same thing. I seriously need to change my diet.

Edit: Getting old sucks......
