Goodness, even my parents don't go to Olive Garden. They've upscaled themselves to Travinia Italian Kitchen. The short rib rigatoni was delicious!

I happen to love OG's salad. My mother and I went there often for their soup and salad lunch special.

I eat salads everyday and one of the best places is Subway. They are huge and I get 3 dinner salads out of one. Additionally, you can order it up with spinach instead of lettuce. I use a little italian dressing and add vinegar to it. Heat it up and pour over your spinach salad. Delicious I tell ya.

I won't bore you all with the ghastly details of what that hamburger did to my digestive tract. I hit the toilet so often that I thought I returned to 1988.

Miss Philicia · « **Reply #4558 on:** October 24, 2014, 11:48:14 am »

I've yet to be but few places that can make a salad better than anything I can make at home. Miss P is an expert at whipping up her own salad dressings from scratch, with her collection of about 8 specialized vinegars (blood orange, passion fruit, raspberry, shallot, cucumber, quince, orange vincotto, Alsatian melter and of course aged Modena balsamic)

wolfter · « **Reply #4559 on:** October 27, 2014, 09:28:13 am »

Now that I'm expanding my horizons (and waist line), I did a spicey chicken salad from Wendy's yesterday. I was quite surprised how good it was. I don't typically visit fast food restaurants and was impressed with their selection of healthier options.

I've already gained 4 lbs since Greg and I have been back together. Eating more than once a day seems strange and foreign and it actually makes me hungrier by doing so.

OH, and I'm quite awesome at whipping up salads myself. Being my main staple of life, I've had lots of time to perfect them.

btw, and can already tell Mario to fuck himself on portions of this recipe -- they require far more than 30 minutes to get to a properly soft texture. I'm already at one hour and they are nowhere near done yet.

Beans soaked and cooked at home always seem to take much longer.

Pressure cooking, perhaps?

Jeff G · « **Reply #4569 on:** November 05, 2014, 07:44:29 am »

I don't believe in soaking beans no matter what a cook book or recipe call for, you just put them on and cook them . I make great beans .

Jeff G · « **Reply #4571 on:** November 05, 2014, 08:01:26 am »

There are some beans, like butter beans or large Lima that will cook apart if you soak them .

I know most people soak beans but my grandma didn't and she was the best cook ever so no one in our family ever soaks beans . I learned yesterday why my granny could cook so good . At 13 she was already a seasoned worker in the cotton fields but when her momma had another baby she had a choice to come out of the field and take care of the baby and cook when her mama went back out in the fields . She cooked breakfast and supper for 18 men and women and a whole bunch of kids from the time she was 13 up till she marred and had 9 kids of her own to feed ... plus the neighborhood . She learned to cook real fast and real good so she would never have to pick cotton again, and she never did .

I had to take my aunt the have surgery yesterday and I asked her why granny could cook so good and why she always cooked so much and this is what I learned . We judge every soul food dish we make by the standard of was it almost as good as granny's .

Miss Philicia · « **Reply #4572 on:** November 05, 2014, 09:41:54 am »

Actually one of the keys to this recipe was not just soaking the beans for two days, but doing so with rosemary and garlic cloves so the beans were doubly infused with flavor.

How dare one question proper Tuscan technique!

Jeff G · « **Reply #4573 on:** November 05, 2014, 10:52:52 am »

I find whatever liquid I cook my beans in gets into the bean just fine . I know lots of recipes and even the directions on bag say to soak or quick soak ... just never found it helpful for necessary to do so .

Now your fancy smansy dish may call for mushy over cooked beans and that's OK too .

No, they came out al dente. Now I will divide them up and freeze them in small portions, because what one does to eat this dish is you pan fry the beans quickly in olive oil and panko. I bet you Southern queens don't use panko.

Well, I'm happy that you cut the added salt in half for the recipe, but then you added it all back (plus) with those chips, that cheese....... and probably all the salt on the margarita glass that you chased it all down with - right??

Quick question for you all; Do most of you naturally pick "fat free" items when they're available? I've changed my behavior somewhat when shopping as I don't study every nutritional label but some things just seem normal. Greg is already fretting about me constantly calorie counting so I'm trying to be more closeted about it but I simply don't understand not choosing a fat free or reduced fat item if it's available.

Sweetie, he's fretting about your calorie counting because according to your body type and eating habits it's not necessary.

But as for your question, there are some items that I buy reduced fat but not a lot of -- mayonnaise I always by "Light" and though I usually make my salad dressings from scratch, I usually keep one commercial brand on hand if I am lazy and I always buy that in "Light" form. But that is really it.

I get more out of portion control than the actual items I purchase.

mecch · « **Reply #4590 on:** November 13, 2014, 08:05:29 am »

If its a package of some industrial or processed food, and marked "FAT FREE!" as a kind of advertising, it may be free of fat and filled with other garbage, such as too much sugar, salt, additives, low vitamins, no fiber, whatever.

"Fat Free" isn't much of a nutritional guide its PR.

If one needs to cut fat down, buy real food, whole foods low in fat.
One does't lose weight usually by eating "fat free". One may not even improve cholesterol, or whatever. If its "fat free" processed food, its not helping.

wolfter · « **Reply #4592 on:** November 13, 2014, 01:50:43 pm »

Fat free items are usually also lower in sodium and sugars. I honestly can't think of how fiber would play into this "fat" equation. Besides, I probably get too much fiber anyways.

When I left the hospital after my last major illness (you and I had very similar experiences and numbers), my doctor ordered me to eat a high calorie, high fat diet to get my weight up. I had to wear sweat pants under my 27" waste jeans to fill them out and I definitely looked like a dead man walking.

At my next appt, he took one look at me and said I could stop that diet now...lol I was shocked how quickly I plumped up.

Have you tried going to one of those bodybuilder type stores and buying protein shake powder and adding two of those per day to your nutrition intake? I did that religiously when I had HIV wasting and gained the weight back -- took a couple of years but I was very disciplined about it.
