I'm addicted to philippine brand dried mangoes

[Ominous Luminous]

even though they fuck up my stomach

dude... TENDERFRUIT dried mangoes. whoa.

 

[Ominous Luminous]

will they fuck up my stomach?

 

[NAD]

My girlfriend is too. Every road trip she buys a million packs of those things. Her addiction easily spreads to me, but I know when to say when.

 

[xfer]

maybe. your mouth will be pleased while your stomach is cursing, though.

 

[minxnim]

i won't even let myself buy dried dates or dried bananas anymore because i will eat an entire bag (like, a pound) if someone leaves me alone with it.

i bought a big tub of prunes to make chicken tagine with and used maybe ten of them...sat down at my computer that night and finished the tub. whoa.

 

[minxnim]

your butt will be unhappy about that later! i did that once too. ONCE.
i also shared them with fred. he LOVES prunes. i always feel funny buying a huge bag of prunes for fred and being like 'yea no they really ARE for a rabbit... no really...'

i also eat like half a box of white raisins every day, in dribs and drabs.

 

[minxnim]

white raisins are YUM. but i hate raisins baked into anything.
have you ever had currants dried? they're so teeny and awesome and good.

I've done some awesome recipes with raisins recently. A lot of great sicilian food uses it.

 

[minxnim]

sicilian...

DUDE i am northern italian k thx.

 

[mindspell]

sicilian food > Piedmonte's > Lombardia's > Veneto's

i've been on a diet for over 2 weeks and have only been able to eat bran cereal, salad, sushi, and broth.

 

[xfer]

zante!

i looove cooking with fruits recently, especially raisins. not baking them into anything like bread, but stews and pan-cooked stuff and things. canned pears and fresh mango slices are also awesome to cook meaty, savory dishes with.

 

[FuSoYa]

shut!

 

[minxnim]

toby, like a losing weight diet or a be healthy diet?

alex: i just think they're gross baked into stuff.

 

[FuSoYa]

a losing weight diet. greg and i are doing a joint one!

 

[xfer]

amanda, do you mean baked into stuff like bread? what about baked into a sauce for a casserole? mmmm!

I'm like seven pounds overweight...I haven't eaten meat in a few days, so if I can keep up the salads and such, I should be in okay shape in a while.

someone also told me that if you go on a carb fast for just four or five days, you can kill three to five pounds just like that. i might do that.

 

[minxnim]

don't EVER carb fast. b/c when you go back to eating normally you'll just gain the weight back, and maybe more (sometimes up to 3-4 pounds more).

anyway, you both look really skinny in all the pictures i've seen so it's weird to hear you say you're dieting. i have about 20 friends that are dieting. i am like the diet expert now it's bizarre.

exercise would probably be better for you guys.
