What did you eat today?

[Tesla]

Roast beef, sweet potatoes, okra and chocolate pie.

Man, you guys always eat so well.

Except okra...

You don't like okra?

I do, but I don't eat it very often.

I pulled out my okra plants yesterday. The nights have gotten too cold for the blossoms to set fruit. If the blossoms are pollinated, they just fall off.
I took all the fruit, even the ones that were too small and I got a five gallon bucket full.

I use them barely cooked in a stir fry, thumb-sized or smaller. The larger ones are sliced, dipped in egg, covered in corn meal and fried.
The enormous ones, which have gotten too big and tough accidentally, are boiled with a few pinches of dill. A few drops of vinegar in the stock stops the slippery slimies that some people object to.



I had a turkey sandwich.

That's my problem with them... how slimey they are.  I can't stand it.

I had beans on top of rice.

They do help to thicken a gumbo, though.



I had a bacon, mushroom and swiss cheese omelet for breakfast and fried rice for dinner.

Surprised to find a delicious and very rich crab chowder, when I walked in from work.

Pizza. Yummy.

[Lucifer]

pumpkin and beetroot risotto.  and then i porked out on pineapple, mango and melon - i actually managed to eat the whole lot, although it did take me three goes (pudding for lunch; tea and what i'm taking as my dinner, cos if i eat anythig else, i'll probably die).

i really am not looking forward to my bottom tomorrow.

tmi?

does anyone want an update on my over-fruited bowels?

does anyone want an update on my over-fruited bowels?

A little bout of irritated bowels?     Welcome to my world!   

[Lucifer]

not nice.  i have what i and my doctor think is probably IBS, and have had for years.

however, my bowels have yet to make their presence known today - i'll keep you all posted, as i'm sure you're all dying to release that breath you're holding. 

[Blasted]

I envy your bowels, mine seemed to have entered a period of hybernation even though I regularly treat them to a good dose of senna 


As for today, I've had some home-made chips (made them myself - aren't I talented?  ) with Worcestershire sauce.

Bowel movements? How the hell did I get here?
EJECT! EJECT! BAIL OUT!
