Reminds me of when I was visiting Aeryn in SD. Vivien Send a noteboard - 31/03/2011 08:54:43 PM
My sister's not like me, she can go days without eating. Somehow she's capable of eating a lot for a couple of days and having those calories last her the week. Maybe that's an extreme case but I'm pretty sure that left to her own devices she eats about every other day. This is a conversation we had when I was visiting her in San Diego:

Aeryn: What should we do today?
Me: Not sure but keep in mind I have to eat today.
Aeryn: But we ate yesterday!
Me: ...
Aeryn: ok, ok.



Ugh, boiling is the worst thing you can do to most vegetables! Steaming is not much better. Most advice for healthy foods involve steamed vegetables. No thank you!

Also really most diet advice involves not eating a whole lot. I NEED calories. If I don't get enough calories I'm going to be hungry. It would be close to impossible to get enough calories from boiled or steamed vegetables and salads. That's the real reason I need to add a lot of oil- if I don't I'm still gonna be hungry.

hahaha, I would not be able to survive on the sample "healthy" menus I've seen. I would just be hungry. If I don't eat enough I can't fall asleep because my stomach is growling.

I love frying vegetables. (stir fry/ saute, I don't know what would be the best way to call it, stir fry and sautee soute sounds like there's not much oil used and I use plenty of oil, but it's not like I deep fry my vegetables either). I buy bags of frozen vegetables and keep a stockpile in the freezer so that I always have something to eat when I'm hungry. Ideally, I add some shrimp or chicken to the skillet as well. Usually it's peas and carrots (the carrots are pre-peeled and cut into little pieces).


That isn't torturing or killing, unless you cook them for more than 15 minutes or something. I'm talking about the boiled green beans my grandmother cooked. When they are more gray than green, they are dead.
