[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

[Erica]

I love me some pumpernickel bread toasted with cream cheese. Yummers.

Mmm pumpernickel rocks!

[Heidi]

Yes it does David. Yes it does. I just had a fake patty melt ( I am a veggie so it was a veggie burger) on regular Jewish Rye a few minutes ago but I prefer the dark rye (aka pumpernickel) to the regular rye! How boring does my life sound now??

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Food is NOT boring :P

[Sophia]

I wish I could like that comment. Lol :p

[Heidi]

:) Well for me food is fuel but it is nice when it tastes good too.

[Sophia]

Well, no one wants rotten eggs for dinner... unless it's the trash bin. :p

[Dvora]

I took over the thread and now I have everyone talking about food! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[Sophia]

Oh, but I was talking about rotten foods (hense the eggs)... does that count, lol? :p

I am also a veggie :).

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Adele's a veggie too. Well, and a fishy lol. Technically she's called pescetarian :)

[DeAnna]

Okay, this convo is getting weird. I refer to vegetable as veggies, so now, rather than picturing you guys as vegetarians, I'm picturing you as giant asparagus. lol

Yay! Signed Kale (for DeAnna)

Well I don't anything with eyes (potatoes excluded) but fish are slimy and stinky so I am fine with your wife eating them. hahahaha

[Nicole]

Well, I just sold my road bike (can't ride it anymore) so I can buy a Vitamix. I'm really wanting to get into the green smoothie craze! At some point, perhaps I'll go ALL raw?

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Lol!! Heidi the Eternal Optimist is now Kale :P

[Heidi]

Nicole I make a smoothie about every day. I used spinach for several years since it is tasteless and good for you but lately I have been throwing some kale in there because it is even better than spinach. I do notice the kale somewhat but with vanilla protein powder and fruits I barely taste it. I have also trying to be "kind of raw" at lunch and normally just eat mixed deluxe nuts, cheese, and cut up veggies. It is nice not to have to heat anything up when I am in a rush at work.

[Heidi]

David wrote: "Lol!! Heidi the Eternal Optimist is now Kale :P"

Well it is a power food at least! :)

[Nicole]

Heidi, That is so great! My mother in law has been doing stuff like this for a while, and several of my friends have been doing the all raw thing. In SLC there are several excellent all raw restaurants. Some of the best cuisine I've ever had. :) My mother in law buys huge bags of greens at Costco and freezes them to use in smoothies. I'm pretty excited to do it! Great recipes, thanks! Do you ever use chard? And do you use a Vitamix or Blendtec?

[Heidi]

I have not used chard. I was using spinach for so long because Sam's Club sells a huge container for $3.00 but Kale is dirt cheap too. Are you talking blenders?? What is a vitamix or blendtec (I am guessing blender by the name)?? I don't think cheese is "raw" since it is processed but I love it and it is filling -- that and Sam's club has great snack sized cheese for cheap (love me some Sam's!)

[Dvora]

Don't you just love the color dark royal blue with a hint of deep dark purple in it?

[Erica]

Where did that come from Dvora??? LOL

[Sophia]

That's like asking where did Random come from (in my humble opinion) :p

Yes, blenders. What do you use to make your smoothies?

YES!

[Dvora]

Sunflowers are sooooo beautiful! They make me think of Italy. Not that I've ever been there. But they do.

[Erica]

Interesting.... Anyone else craving Chinese food?

[Heidi]

Nicole I can not abide by cheap blenders. I have had too many blow up or not chop ice that I bought a professional grade one 2-3 years ago and LOVE IT! It is the Waring MX1000 http://www.webstaurantstore.com/warin...

I have had so many times where I bit my tongue when people argued that they could buy 3 or 4 cheap blenders for the price of a good one instead-- but WHY??? Why not get a good one that will actually chop anything and last for years and years instead of getting a new one every year??

[Heidi]

I can not eat Chinese food (if you are referring to the "Americanized version" of Chinese). It makes my stomach hurt almost immediately. Same with Pizza Hut pizza. I avoid both like the plague. The joys of getting older! Ugh!

That looks like a good blender! I had no idea there was anything else out there that competed with Vitamix or Blendtec. I've been wanting to get something like this for years now. I'll probably get the Blendtec because it can stay on the counter underneath my cabinets. I hear you on getting a good machine. I want to be able to make gazpacho. Is that too much to ask? ;)

What do you mean it can go under the cabinets? Is it smaller or something. We (me and the hubby) researched blenders out the wazzo when we bought ours and the one we got was $100-$200 cheaper with the same motor as the more expensive ones. Anywho it has been going strong 5-7 days per week for over two years. I love that I can stuff that puppy to the top and it chops it all down in seconds. I do NOT miss the days where I had to add a few ingredients at a time and blend - repeat - because the blender was not strong enough. Report back when you buy yours and give an update! Good luck :) p.s. you may want to check the store where we bought ours because it was even cheaper than Amazon, which is rare. Not sure if they have your blender or if it is cheaper there but it is worth a look :) The store is on my earlier link btw.

[Heidi]

Sophia I love pizza but am only into thin crust these days. I am also a big believer in "less is more" with pizza -- I want to taste the sauce and cheese not cover it up! And I can not abide cheap pizza anymore (i.e. Pizza Hut!)

[Heidi]

Sorry David for taking over your random sarcastic thread! Guess we should rename it "The foods Heidi likes and appliances she loves that make them" or some such nonsense!!

[Dvora]

[Karen’s Library]

Question is, do I go in the morning, or just go tonight and let myself SLEEP IN?

[David, Mr. Blue Eyes; He's the Best--Ain't no lie!! ;)]

Tonight and sleep in! I hate getting up early if I don't absolutely have to :)
