Thanks, guys and gals.

It's kinda like getting a root canal - you have to deal with it, but you know that it's gonna be a pain to the bitter end.

Oh well. I've done all of the prep work and have my materials lined up, so it's all systems "go". Time to go be a rock star.

(Taking an extra dose of patience and forebearance to go with all of that. I firmly believe that you have whispered a good word on my behalf that is sure to make the difference.)

Mmm pancakes! Now I want some, but can't make a pancake to save my life, well maybe as a weapon

Maybe, if I can get access to a stove and other such things, I can make us some in Philly. My pancakes rocks!

High Score 3 will have pancakes, by the way.

I am so on board for that! If I can have pancakes that dont "rock" like mine you will be my new best friend. Then I might have to take you home with me and lock you away as my own personal chef.
So just incase Kenny is never heard from after philly, i'm claiming I have no knowledge of his disappearance now.

My pumpkin pancakes. I haven't made them in a few years, though.

I saw those yesterday. I like how you presented the different foods you have made.

I need to get back into cooking, but I've become so harsh on my diet.

What do you mean by harsh?

I limit carbs significantly, and I try not to consume any carbs after 5 PM. This makes many of my recipes obsolete.

I was on South Beach diet years ago and it severely messed up my digestive system. Please be careful.

As for the after 5PM rule, what's the mentality behind that, if you don't mind sharing?

Stan, I still get all of my basic food groups (dairy, meat, vegetable, fruit, and grain). I've just further cut out the nutritionally lacking. No more potatoes, breading...

I finish my work outs around 5 and have my protein shake (which has some carbs in it). However, at this point, I am going to be resting, so I don't need as many carbs for energy since I won't be physically active for much longer. I try to go to bed around 8:30 pm or so since I have to get up at 3:30 am. By minimizing my carb intake at night, I have less chance to convert the carbs into sugar (which then gets converted into fat and stored).

ok if any of you guys are in TX are any of you going to Dalls Comic Con

Cool, man. Makes sense.

I'm at 229 now! Yay! That's with my clothes on, though. At home, on my scale in just my boxers, I'm at 223. Go me!
