8. I find noodles to be the ultimate antidepressant
Strict Atkinsians often have mood disorders - there have been studies.

5. Is it necessary to slam Dr Atkins?
Glad you enjoyed your meal, but he wasn't fat. He gained fluid weight in his last weeks due to steriods.

7. I know - I'm only kidding. No offense to the dead
but "spin in thy grave, fat man" had such a great ring to it. Sorry

19. Why so touchy?
Isn't criticism and faux criticism what this site is all about?

12. Well lets see now. You might need an asian grocery store but - here goes
Edited on Fri Jul-23-04 09:38 PM by ChavezSpeakstheTruth
1/2 package of fresh udon noodles.

About 10 1/2 inch thick triangles of tofu, fried golden brown.

3 baby carrots or 1 whole carrot cut into little discs.

i shallot minced

3 thai chilies

1 clove garlic minced

I just tossed everything in my wok at high heat with some peanut oil and stir fried it for a few minutes, put in about 2 tsps of black bean w/ chili paste (I don't know the brand as its in chinese but its made by Master-Sauce corp. This is a common thing though.) A good swig of 3 Crabs brand thai fish sauce and a squeeze of lime. Put some torn cilantro over the top and you're good to add some poundage to the old waste line!

Would be good with more greens - like brocolli or bok choy - but that's all I had on hand.

13. Love IT! I've been on a fruit fast for about
four days and boy does that sound good to this vegan head!

It's so hot here, though, that fruit is really all I want right now ..it's been good for me but tomorrow..I'm going to have a big ol' fresh organic garden salad with avocados, cherry tomatoes, green beans, yellow squash, broccoli...yummm! :P

15. I'm Atkins-ish and I would eat that
Just replace the noodles with veggies. I don't waste my energy anymore debating what works for me that may not work for others, but I'm glad you enjoyed your meal. :D
