Ummm styrofoam! Nice. I heard rice cakes and peanut butter are nice eheheh Defeats the purpose tho wont it! Anyways, the more i think bout my diet, the more concious i am gonna be bout my hunger, so im gonna not try to think bout it! Im just gonna have to live thru life an hour at a time. It must be what withdrawal symptoms feel like. I cant beleive its only the 5th day of the new year. Im so seriously thinking of breaking this dam resolution. BUT the weekends are near, those r my 'off' days, my days for a little indulgence hehehe So i just hope i dont fall off the wagon hard. I need to start buying more fruit as well. I feel less guilty when i snack on fruit. My snack of choice has been bananas lately. They are always in season here, and we have a few banana trees in the back yard which never stop fruiting. Im actually kinda getting sick of em to be honest

dude, my mom makes the best banana chips. Well not exactly the healthy way.... Heres how you do it...get some slightly un-ripened bananas. then slice em very thinly. then you sun dry the slices for a few hours. Then, you fry em up till crispy and then add salt. I swear, they taste exactly like potato chips. I think if u use ripened bananas they come out too sweet. Man, i can eat so much of them in one sitting. See, i dont only buy junk food, i get em home made too....heheh and my mom makes em by the bucket, coz like i said, we hav so many banana trees behind our house, and they bear fruit all year round! Not into apple chips. Bought some from the grocery store...theyre funny tasting. Maybe coz theyre healthy hehehe

If I layed them out in the sun for a few hours, they would be covered it dust or who knows what...which is why I used the dehydrator...most likely not as good as the way you described though... hehe, in home junk food...there you go...probably still better for you than potato chips... Apple chips depend alot on the type of apple...red delicious, golden delicious...not granny smith...to sour...

dude, now your getting me paranoid...sun dried bananas with bird poop on it.
I guess when my mom can be bothered she uses this mesh cover like thing, so nothing can land on it! And pollution isnt so bad here, we live kinda outta town, so its not a prob.
Dude, and ok, it may sound healthy...coz theyre banana chips! But dude, theyre still deep fried and salted. Not healthy. Trust me, they get so translucent in color coz theyre so oily. I guess thats wat makes em yummy.
Dude, what has become of us, we have started trading recipes over the net.... ummm wanna toss a football around? put on sportscentre? *scratches himself down there*

Ah, but the trick is that if the oil is at the appropriate temperature they won't soak up the oil...if the oil is not hot enough, then yeah, oil chips... hehe...bugs...hehe

Damn, had the index card ready and you stopped...hmm, now I have a taste for some Lorna Doone's...just in case, they are shortbread cookies... Don't look at me, my idea of cooking is heating up left over pizza...hell, I even had the gas turned off since all I use is the microwave...and no, I don't use the heater either... hehe, brings back memory of burnt popcorn...hehe...

Seriously, mr.index cards....i could whip up a mean pasta dish, and i can actually cook. When i was sharing a house on campus, you should see some of the stuff my guy friends cooked. I am Iron Chef compared to them. heheheheh. They were always amazed by my cooking skills....guess all asian food seems exotic to them hhehe
Man, guess what....boss just walked in! Asked me to do extra work! DAM! Bye...got a report to finish! BOO!

Well, as long as you didn't "bring it up" hehe... hehe, okay, you run over and start the cooking thread and I'll run to the store and grab a premade penne pasta...hehe...well, I shouldn't talk cuz I do make a decent batch of popcorn...though it is tough on a hotplate... hehe, as long as he/she didn't see Rocky staring back at him/her from your monitor...hehe...

dude, wanna know how many times people just walk into my room to send in files and stuff, and i have to minimize the window. I mean in this board, youve got all these pics of rocky in the background.
this one staff of mine. im sure has noticed the same window up everytime she sends in stuff to be signed. I really have to be quick on my feet to minimise. My boss too keeps walking in unannounced. Its really hard!
well yea, ive been dumped some last minute work. Have to prepare a darn report. And to assign it to me on friday afternoon at 4.30pm sure does blow!!!! And i wanted to complete it at home, but the file i saved on my thumbdrive wouldnt open at home, so i cant do anything now. Gotta get in early tomorow to finish it, so i can have it printed and submitted.
Jesus, why do i put up with this crap!!!!! Honestly, u guys r the best part of my day, without a doubt!
