Fruit is nature's candy. Lots of water soluble fiber, vitamin C and natural unrefined sugars. I got strawberries, raspberries, apples, bannanas, pineapple, mango, pears and oranges in my fridge. Water soluble fiber bonds with bile to help flush excess cholesterol out. Vitamin C is an...

Much appreciated ladies. Keep em coming. :)

Thanks Nikki and Selfactivated for some cool links.

Fat Substitutes: For baking Reducing fat will give baked goods a more dense texture. To fix this, try to increase the sugar in the recipe and/or beating the egg whites and folding them into the batter. Also try to use a softer flour (i.e. cake or pastry flour). Applesauce: it can replace...

BS-baking soda BP-baking powder PB-peanut butter? Is there a low fat sub for lard?

Am still a meat and potatoes kinda guy. Well maybe more fish or chicken with some rice kinda guy. Not much of a veggie fan. Carrots, peas, corn and cauliflower about it. Am slowly becoming a bit more adventurous in my foods but am a ways off from some of the almost vegan stuff. Baking...

Having survived heart attack and under going quadruple bypass surgery, I am on a low fat no salt added diet and would love to hear about low fat meal suggestions and substitutions. Am looking for substitutions for butter, cream and eggs in baking recipes. Help on subbing 67%RSF Becel margarine...

Tempura batter calls for really cold water too. Is bread easier than pastry crusts. What about cakes? Would love to be able to bake my own bread. Are the bread maker machines worth it? Kinda pricey just for bread. My buddy's wife makes dough balls for us when we go carp fishing with her bread...

I have never been "accused' of being cute. Eloquent and a smooth talker maybe. I get girls by talking them in to it. Flattery, sensitivity and good manners will get you usually get you somewhere. Once the lights go down other techniques of the oral arts kick in.;)

No dinning alone this weekend. Spent most of weekend selling Christmas trees at my fishing club. My buddy came home with me for dinner every night. His wife is a meat and potatoes kinda gal. The only time he gets seafood is when he comes to my house for dinner. She is an awesome gal and a good...

We got 18" of snow here last night. Woo Hoo I love lots of snow. I got to snowshoe into work. I got an environmentally signifigant forest between me and work. When I got here the place was closed down for a snow day and they forgot to call me. So I am really dogging it now. Surfing the web at a...
