PURO YOU PERVERT !!! Where ya been lately man ...hadn't seen ya around much ...
Spent the last 4 days moving. I'm back at work now, just so damn sore I can't hardly move! haha It's hell getting old.
Moving is a biatchh in and of itself I hate doing that haha. But now I just call a moving company for the big stuff , furniture , etc. that takes some of the sting outta it cause when you get my age buddy you accumulate a lotta chit !!!
Yea, I know what ya mean! I should have paid some movers to do it. We have a ton of stuff with me, the wife, and the little one. Plus the day we were moving all the big stuff we had some major storms hit the area. You might have seen the storms on the news because they caused the Cowboys practive facility at Valley Ranch to collapse. That was when we were right in the middle of moving.
I'll be trying some of these recipes. I don't plan on giving up meat any time soon, but I'm renting the spare room in my house to a friend from school thats vegetarian, so it would be cool to cook some things she can eat once in a while.

1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups water
4 cups whole strawberries, rinsed and hulled
2 Tbsp. orange juice
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and the water and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until reduced by one-fourth. Remove from the heat and cool.
In a blender, combine the strawberries and the orange juice until smooth. Press through a fine sieve.
In a large bowl, combine with the sugar mixture. Cover and freeze until set.
Whisk until smooth, freeze for an additional hour, and whisk again. Repeat twice.
Serve when creamy.
I might try to make this over the weekend.

you might consider adding a bit of vanilla extract. it will round it out nicely. maybe a half of a teaspoon or so.
I just found a few smoothie recipes that I'm going to try for breakfast when I start my new job next week.
Sweet Veggie Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cup apple juice
1 cup of sliced apple (sweet tasting apples are better)
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup of cucumber (peeled and sliced)
2 cups of ice
a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)
Blend this vegetable smoothie until smooth. Adding the nutmeg and cinnamon will give it great fragrance.
Tomato Smoothie
Ingredients:
2 cups (chopped) tomatoes
1/2 cup tomatoe juice
1/4 cup apple juice
1/2 cup carrots
1/4 cup (chopped) celery
Tabasco or hot sauce to taste
2 cups ice
Healthy Broccoli Smoothie
Ingredients
1 Carrot (chopped)
4 Florets of Broccoli
2 Handfuls of Spinach
1 Apple (chopped)
2 Oranges (peeled and quartered)
Orange Juice to dilute
You can change the fruit and vegtables to your requirements but this is one way of ensuring you get the portions of fruit and vegtables your body requires.
Raw Vegetable Smoothie
Ingredients
1 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice OR balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons picante salsa
1 cup raw broccoli
1 raw tomato, quartered
1/2 raw carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup raw kale, or any leafy green
1 - 2 cloves raw garlic
1/2 cup raw hulled sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raw un-hulled sesame seeds
1 - 2 slices onion
Start by pouring liquid ingredients (lemon juice, salsa) into blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend until texture is that of a creamy milkshake.
this thread is proving beneficial to me even though I am not a vegetarian. I usually have a hard time getting veggies into my diet. I'm thinking even though it might not taste that good, I could just blend some veggies together, slam it down before I eat the good stuff for dinner and I wont have to taste it anyway. don't get me wrong, I like a lot of veggies, but its just difficult to cook them properly every night, it gets old.
I'm drinking a healthy broccali smoothie right now. Its...uh...very green. Its actually pretty good. The texture took a little getting used to since I don't usually eat liquid leaves. It tastes really good.,br>

I was vegetarian, maybe pescatarian, for about a year but the smothered pork chops and greens with bacon or ham hocks snapped me out of it.
I just got an email from Kaiser Permanente talking about the new fad in fast food of serving meatless meats. Sounds like the meat substitutes involved are worse than the real thing for your health, but possibly better for the environment (this wasn't addressed):
Meatless meats
Trend: Plant-based meats — like Beyond Meat or Impossible Burger —
are popping up everywhere. They’re now available in restaurants, fast food
chains, and grocery stores. So, what is it? Plant-based meats are made from
plants but are meant to taste (and look) like meat. They’re targeted at
meat-eaters — not just vegetarians — and positioned as a way to eat less meat
and help the environment.
The facts: Meatless meats are high in salt and saturated fat.
“Plant-based meats have almost 4 times the salt as beef does, and essentially
the same amount of saturated fat as you would find in beef,” says Dr. Hashmi.
“It’s also a highly processed food where chemicals are used to extract the protein,
which is a huge concern.” These fake meats aren’t a good nutrient source.
Meatless meat lacks the fiber you would get from simply eating real plants.
Verdict: Pass on the plant-based meats. “I wouldn’t jump on this
bandwagon,” Dr. Hashmi says. If you want to eat less meat, he suggests eating
plant-based whole foods like vegetables, fruits, and legumes. Plus, there’s no
data on the long-term effects of these artificial meats — and there won’t be
any useful data for another 4 to 5 years.
I'll gladly bomb you Tuesday for an Opus today.

Just cured a very sick dog of diarrhea and some joint problems. Removed grains and filler from her diet and started feeding her raw meat, peas, carrots and flax. In 2 days she completely turned around. Pass the chicken and gravy.......please.
My wife has been a vegetarian for 40+ years and here are her thoughts. Hi. My name is Dawn. My mom used to tell me as a child in the high chair, i would always eat the veggies but spit out the meat. Then in my 20's I developed a brain tumor and couldn't keep much down. One of the doctors was from India and suggested trying a vegetarian diet. It worked! I thrived on it!! There are many commercial products available to help make your transition easy. Morning Star, Gardine etc. I have a boatload of great recipes I will share with you privately. Being a vegetarian does not mean you sacrifice great food. Doug is a meat eater, and I prepare foods for him without issue. But.... He often eats my vegetarian meals too and not only enjoys them but will ask for them.

Don't wanna over do it.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
