Hey bill, that would be cool. If you give me your email I can send you the recipe from the book that has pictures and steps to make it. Seems easier.

@Lumi, I have no idea. Probably equal to a coffee cup.

@ Zarren: Thanks ^_^, I actually made this cake a few times, but it's been years.

@Himari

You were correct, 1 cup = 2.4 dl (240ml)



Yep, kinda like that, very popular stuff over here btw.

And Lotus, you breakfast sounds so good!! I wish I had those ingredients in my fridge. At the moment there's only rye bread, butter and beer. I need to visit in a food store in the near future xD

I had grilled chicken with olives and tomato basil salad dressing (it sounds good, but it seemed too salty for me), also had a cucumber and oat bread. I plan to have something similar for my next meal except that I'll have spicy brown mustard with the chicken and maybe a few macadamia nuts.

BTW, if anyone is looking for nuts, www.nutsonline.com is a good source. shipping is expensive, but if you order 4-5 pounds at a time it averages out to less than $2.00 per item. Also, www.drugstore.com has some good flavored almonds by Blue Diamond.

Change of plans. Instead of oat bread and macadamia nuts, I had strawberries and terra chips with my chicken.

I like the taste of black licorice, but I guess a lot of people don't. I remember hearing an African American stand up comedian complaining about how the black flavor is the worst tasting... Speaking of flavors, I don't like cherry flavor candy, but I like actual cherries. I like banana flavored candy (think Laffy Taffy), but I don't like actual bananas (except for baking like banana bread).

my head is spinning @_@ idk what to comment about and try for myself first!!

@himari

that would be excellent, will PM you shortly with email.

@lumikki

i'm with lotus, salty licorice does sound very tasty...i'll be awaiting a package of some to be coming from you in the coming weeks ;D

@lotus

dude, i looove your meals so far, it's fortunate in these days you can still enjoy good flavor combinations even with your diet restrictions. and i love the terra chips too...gotta go get some now =P

For my last meal I had a mixture of honey nut cherios and reg. cherios (I actually eat the Giant Eagle brand because it's the only brand without corn which I'm sensitive to. For those who don't know, our government subsidizes corn which makes it super cheap and so a lot cereals are made with corn. I think corn and soy subsidies are BS because they only help large corporations. Plus corn syrup is in everything which is very unhealthy. Corn flour is fine though if you're not sensitive, but cherios uses the fact that it has oat flour as a marketing point, which is somewhat dishonest since they add corn flour. Ok, end of my rant). Actually I just checked and cherios only has corn starch not corn flour, but other brans do have corn flour...

I had cherios (w/o milk), slivered almonds, celery, red radishes, and a slice of an apple. I only had one radish, I'm so spoiled now that I eat watermelon radishes. Black radishes are pretty good too, but not as much as watermelon.

For breakfast I had: Collard greens with onions, yellow squash, and green olives. Roasted, salted sunflower seeds with macadamia nut pieces. And a slice of a granny smith apple.

i woke up too late for breakfast haha so straight to lunch was a proscuitto sandwich with some pretzels and a banana (need potassium for this heat)

Mjeeh I'm hungryyyy! Why I don't have money to buy so excellent and healthy food like Lotus?

I wonder how much it would cost if I sent this to America -



btw while I was looking for a pic, I found this blog http://www.salmiyuck.com , dear god that man loves Salmiakki.

Yum, that black licorice looks so good! ^_^

Well, there's officially now a blog for EVERYTHING. Eating healthy is still cheaper than eating at restaurants.

@ Lotus

Yep, you're so right, but I don't even have a money to buy food from supermarkets. And noodles and porridge are cheaper than fruits and nuts.

@ Himari

This japanese guy disagrees with you



It's kinda a habit to bring some salmiakki candy for your foreign hosts, when I was in Turkey last time I bought lots of salmiakki to my turkish friends, they went to puke after eating them xD So I had to eat rest of the candies by myself :'D

@lumikki

well if you're gonna be a billionaire you won't have to worry about shipping costs and you can ship me barrels of the stuff. ^_^ nice vid btw too

@lotus

never thought of collard greens as a breakfast food, but i'm intrigued, i think i'll try it next weekend. i think i'll skip the green olives though ;P

@Lumiikki

That was kind of cute. Everyone in my family hates black licorice. I think there are more people who hate it then like it. But what ever he was eating it didn't look too good.


Yesterday we made the most tastiest hamburger's. What we put in was...

About 2 1/2 tablespoons of each.
A1 Marinade Chicago Steakhouse
Steakhouse Marinade (bought this at bloom's, old food lion store0
1 Small onion
1 1/2 lb beef

OMG, they were awesome! Best hamburgers we've made so far.

@Lumikki

"It's good. It's awesome!" great quote

@Bill

Yeah, I actually have breakfast type food for my 4th meal of the day
1st: Veggies, nuts, fruit
2nd/3rd: Meat, some type of carb, usually vegies and fruit
4th: Nuts, dry cereal, vegies, fruit

@Himari

A1 is great, I've never had the marinade though. Didn't like their peppercorn one even though I normally like black pepper on stuff (especially fresh ground). Their tobasco one was pretty good though.

@himari

if you think A-1 is good as a marinade, you should try worchestshire...that with a little butter, a pinch of fresh garlic, a healthy dose of oregano, some crushed red pepper, and if you like a bit of spicyness, just a tiny bit of adobo (maybe that's just me)....ok my keyboard is gonna short out from drool now =P

I forgot I was a billionaire. Maybe I could establish a salmiakki store in the US?? That would a hell of idea. Yay, now I know what I'm going to do when I grow up.

Again good recipes I see! ( yeah, Bill, I have learnt to write it right)

@lumikki

so i can expect that package any day now right? and you're a very fast learner indeed dear ;D.

i swear this thread may have backfired on me...i'm more hungry than ever since XP
