1. Here's my youtube profile favorites list.
http://youtube.com/profile_favorites?user=JackieOO7

There's over 90 videos. That should occupy you a bit.

Oh and for argument's sake, vegans are sooooo lame.

BTW, I had some really awesome vegan samosas and tofu au vin rouge from the deli at the health food store I used to work at today.

3. There's a vegetarian Indian restaurant by me that's awesome.
Their food is almost all vegan.

Hmm...that reminds me, I haven't been to Veggie Heaven lately. It's a totally vegan Chinese restaurant. For living in the middle of the woods, there's a few decent veggie restaurants around.

4. You can't stand up?
Edited on Sat Oct-14-06 04:43 PM by NC_Nurse
Guess I missed out on why....
I'm kinda bored too.
I'm not brave enough to start threads lately tho. So I'll just commiserate with you on yours if that's okay.

5. I twisted my ankle standing up yesterday.
I'm trying to be a good girl and keep it elevated and stuff. Luckily my son is being an angel, so I haven't had to hop around the house in my socks too much.

9. 106-71
That's the combined score of footbal games this weekend involving colleges attended by John Edwards. Are you amused or disgusted that I took the time to figure that out?

14. The thought process went like this . . .
I noticed that Wake Forest beat NC State by 2 which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned except for the fact that Edwards went to NC State and Jesse Helms went to Wake. Then I just checked how the other other schools Edwards attended did: He went to law school at UNC and they lost by 17. He spent his freshman year at Clemson and they won by 54. Edwards tried out for the Clemson football team and I think that's emblematic of why he's so successful. He's not afraid to take chances despite overwhelming odds and he's generally fearless.

28. Hey, I can tell the important things, damn it.
Sure, I have no clue if somebody's into men, women or squirrels, but I can smell the feint cheesy whiff of an ovo lacto from arm's length and I spot non-leather shoes from across the room.

I can also tell you what model a child restraint is just by passing the car it's installed in on the freeway and sometimes notice any potential installation issues.

I am a woman of many useless talents.

30. It's okay. My mind is filled with useless facts.
Random snippets of completely useless info. I can only wonder what my brain power would be if it wasn't filled with crap like an ex-coworker's ATM pin number.

You were really nice when I was ambulatory. Of course, it's probably because I could have left you to the gang bangers at Walgreens if you weren't. :D

My ankle is going to be so sore and swollen. Hopefully I can use cruise control most of the way.

36. I stepped in a hole so I haven't be able to drive until this weekend.
I find soaking my foot in epsom salt in hot water has helped.

Also I have been using Absorbine jr.

Make sure your is foot wrapped up.

I went to the drug store and bought som Flexall Plus, my ankle is feeling better.

53. A nice recipe.
Edited on Sat Oct-14-06 07:42 PM by Jamastiene
I'd invite you to dinner here at Chez Jamastiene, but you seem to be immobile at the moment. Never fear. Here is my easy chicken and rice recipe:

What you need:
A can of Swanson Chicken Broth
A can of Swanson chicken
1 cup of rice
2 cups of water
a dash of salt
enough butter or margarine to taste
and
a teaspoon of Tobasco red hot sauce.

Cook the rice, just like you normally cook rice. Once you see "holes" in the rice where the water has boiled down, add the broth and the chicken and a tsp of hot sauce. At this point, you may want to add another small dash of salt, but not much. Cook until heated thoroughly and blow it before putting a spoonful in your mouth. It'll be hot. Serves 2. Adjust recipe for more or less people.

In the meantime, here is a :hug:. Too bad I can't come there and bring you a bowl. It'll be ready in about 30 minutes.

56. I would have thrown in other things if I had thought it
was be some great tongue in cheek fun. I just learned earlier that Pythagoras wouldn't eat beans at all. I'm not sure why though. Who knows what those people thought. Besides, you can adjust a regular recipe to be vegetarian, can't you? I mean using tofu or something? I have always been curious about how many different ways people use tofu in place of meat. What do they replace margarine or butter with? I needs my artery cloggers now. :hi:

57. Tofu doesn't really taste like much
Seitan is a better substitute for chicken. For chicken broth, there's a packaged faux-chicken broth that's pretty good.

Butter's easy, all one has to do is use Earth Balance instead. It tastes great.
