Rave reviewed baba ghanoush

I’ve been working on my Baba Ghanoush for a little while now and I think that I’ve hit a home run now. Even the teenagers I tested it out on loved it (well most of them any way).
But 2 nights ago I tested it on some very refined pallets (some of whom had actually eaten [...]


Easily one of my top 10 soups – Mushroom and Pumpkin Curry Soup

This is one of the oddest mixtures but it really works well. I got the original idea from a recipe book and have improved on it in my opinion:) I usually make enough to eat it for 3 days, and even at the end I’m not tired of it.
Like al of the recipes I post, [...]


Tortellini and Spinach Chowder – My resistance factor is a big fat 0!

Only to brag a little, this is probably one of top 3-5 soup recipes that I have ever had – bar none:)
Ok – enough of the bragging. I’ll put this out there and let you all test it and see if you agree.
Ingredients

1lb Italian Sausage
1/2 to 3/4 White Onion (basically just do the onion to [...]


Weight loss in the winter – Do a little service

Moving snow the old fashioned way is a great exercise. Minute for minute it is one of the best winter exercises you can do – and it can be a great service as well.
On average here are the calories burned per minute shoveling snow. These are just averages that I could find on the net.

Make your own food – lose weight – guarenteed.

According to eDiets.com the average American eats at a restaurant 159 times a year!
That is an amazing statistic if it is accurate. I looked up how many calories it takes to cook a meal and for me it is about 140 cal, for 1 hours worth of food preparation. If I made just one complex [...]


The Rubik’s Cube Theory

I had a few really weird dreams last night. One of them was about solving Rubik’s cubes. I was watching a competition where people were solving the mind bending puzzle in just a few seconds. After the competition the competitors were showing the audience how they did it. The problem most people had solving the [...]


Mr incredible.

I so relate to Bob Incredible! I remember back in the good old days when I used to take on the evil forces in the universe and stop their sinister plans to take over the earth. Those were the days. /sigh.
 

I guess I’ll just have to move on:)
I can relate to Bob and his [...]


What’s Your Gene Pool Like? A really strong fat man

I just found a neat tool online that will tell you on average, how long your family lives. Based on genealogical archives the database automatically calculates the average life expectancy of your family compared to all others and then graphs it over a 30 year time frame.
Over the last 30 years my family has about [...]


I think that everyone is sick of politics – so I’m back to health posts

Initially I received quite a few visitors interested in discussing politics, but I guess that got a little to controversial. So I’m back to posting on health and wellness now. So everyone can breath a sigh of relief.
Please study the issues and vote. But that is all I’ll say for a while I think.
Ok, on [...]


It’s awesome weather for football in the park.

I’m really looking forward to the game this weekend. A friend of mine has put together a little football group that is playing each weekend in the park. Mostly we’re just a bunch of older guys with a slight competitive streak and a desire to still whoop up on some of the young teenagers that [...]
