Who else here has a second toe longer than their first?

That reminds me of George Costanza on Seinfield! The one where he breaks up with the woman because she is wearing flip flops and one toe goes over the edge of the flip flop...

Yeah... in addition to my second toe being longer than the first, it is curved (I took pointe lessons at a very young age and my feet paid for it).

Whot?? Sew-zhinne bought herself a mechanic? Fer a hundred bucks?

Hail-oooo sillyville! <waving arms>

Dear gawd, I cannot believe it - - this gastronomical chaos that is poutine has crossed the border and ensconced itself into the Midwest.

For any who actually want to know the history of this bizarre thing, an older clip that captures the beginnings of the Quebequois invasion:

"Poutine" OMG! Just the name makes me larf :lol: But, the thought of eating it... "we take all de leftovairs and mix it all togedder" :blink: No thanks, mum :(

Gads, that poutine sounds like a right, royal MESS!--fit for our gastronomical queen. What say you, BunBun???

Yes, Qween Buns, what is your royal acumen for the poo-tine?

Pootine. Dies that come with a side of Lipitor and a dollop of Crestor?

:lol::lol::lol: Snort!

And Susan, my feet are better off left unseen <_< These days they look more like part of a ham than part of a gam :rolleyes:

I WENT SHOPPIN,TOO! Got:

A brand new Cadallac Converter- $277.37

Is this when a Cadallac converts to Fordism? :huh::unsure:

I think we should all put up avatars of our feet, and vote on who has the nicest.

Pfft! Yes!! Let's see those tootsies ladies :P I'll run right out and get the camera so's youse can see my ganglion cyst and toenail fungus :ph34r:

Welcome to all newbies!!!

Welcome back Nik!

Love all the new av's . :wub:

Well, my DD finaly took me out to lunch yesterday. It had to be someplace special, as it was not her b-day, nor was it mine but I could tell the minute we walked in it was special and promised to be a culinary oddisey. Fist of all, ther was not 1, but SEVEN different renditions of Elvis on black velvet, all in ornately moldy frames. They waere entertwined with gleamin peices of fishing tackle, and recently used meat-hooks. The waiters all looked forene (actually, didn't look human), but were exquisitively gowned in a beautiful phloral oil-cloth material. We were escorted by the Bain Marie to a table near the Gents room, that didn't have a door. But, all the citronella candles aroud the room masked the smell, and kept the hundreds of bugs at bay.

In came the phaux silver food cart, amidst a drum-roll by little hairless children all enrobed in an ugly cardigan sweater. This place went all out- no fake phaux silver for us, it was the real thing!My sweat glands were rolling and pounding in gustutory delight. First, they put out a pile of Pomme Frits, glistening in thier combination of unknown vege oil and rancid meat-drippins. Then, a globular mound of meat fat and phlour, topped off with a veneer of cassien and more animal fat! And I knew that it was the Frech-Cananadien dish, Putang! Thank God for the bambulance in the parking lot.

piss I think they stole this dish from my beloved homeland, Rusha

Suvlaneitska, are you writing for the KGB? If not, ya should be.....you bring on a good deal more fun than a mickey of vodka, and no crashing hangover (that I know of).....

Oh Slutvana, you crack me up!!

. . . and I'll just defer my feet picture to Raechull's . . . sounds 'bout the same.

On a side note . . . a long, long time ago (before children) in a land far, far away (Cincinnati), the crowd that hubby and I ran around with had a standing policy. If you left your camera unsupervised, we would take several pictures of feet . . . back in the day when you actually had to have your film developed.

What's with all the feat fetish today? I'll put my feets up to anyone's pheets. And I have on many occasions. And, with many other body parts! So, you want to have a neat feat contest. Bring it on!

I'm not insulating that my feet are superior to anyone elses, but that they are far better than any of youse pheets. In a foot contest, I'm a hands-down winner.

Do you think I might be kind of bored today?

Here about the guy with 2 left fett? He had to go buy a pair of flip-flips.

Actually, I'm cooking marked down meat I got cheap so I don't get food poisoning. So, I'm typing between flipping.

Do chickens have penises?

Wait! This should read, Do chickens have penii?

No, wait! Do civckebs have penii?

Um, well.....roosters do not mate with hens. They simply do sumfin' to the egg once it has been laid that causes the yolk to further develop into a chick.

Sumfin like that.. . . :huh: .......I'm way outta my league, here.

Jyessssss???

My husband feels like he is chained to my feet. Poor clueless footless man.

Of course chickens don't have PenII. They are female. Roosters must have penusess because if you have chk they will lay eggs without a rooster, but they will lay fertilized eggs with a rooster, so they must have coitus. As must we all, if we want fertilized eggs. I have no eggs, so I can safely have sex with any rooster if I can find One willing. All I'd have to worry about would RSTD's. I used to raise ckickens in my hippy-dippy organic farm days. Never thaught about doing it with one, though. Could I be the definition of a "dirty old lady".

Who else here has a second toe longer than their first? Um, this, to me, is visually disturbing, quite an ugly glitch.

When I was growing up, and all of us running around barefoot, we thought *everyone* had feet like ours. We all had the same shape.....2nd toe longest, the rest making a nice curve down to the pinkie-toe. THEN!......My oldest brother got married....and this girl had SQUARE FEET!!!!! :o . It was hilarious to us back then (well....you gotta figger...us farm kids were easily amused in our unworldly way). Took a while to realize that ..... perhaps..... we were a minority! There were all sorts of shapes for feet. BTW....can you pick things up with your toes? Comes in kinda handy <:smirkface:> I still think that feet shaped like ours are normal...others are not! :P

My city puts on a festival every labor day weekend and this is the first year I noticed poutine... it was more popular than chicken on a stick. The friends I was with that night were absolutely horrified/intrigued by the phenom that is poutine.

Man, do I love the Midwest and our cuisine.

Hi Psummer! welcome to lunacy :wacko:

OMG

you guys have made me want

POUTINE

more than anything :angry::lol:

and I am simply going to DIE without getting it TOO-DAY :angry:

I mean, Geoss is right, what in the WORLD could be better than fries, gravy, and cheese?

:( hurts my heart to think about it :lol: (in an emotional sense, I don't care about the fat glut)

Is poutine gluten-free? :( I really want it.......you guys don't know how badly.

The only time I had "tampered with" fries was at the ballpark, everyone had been drooling over the garlic fries, so we got some at the baseball game one night. Blech!!! Most awful thing I've ever had and I luv garlic

:o

:o

WHOT????

OMG - I could eat good garlic fries (they had these, how you say Firecracker Fries at this restaurant in Monterey I frequented often that were TO DIE FOR - loaded w/ fresh garlic) ALL DAY LONG......and then all day the next day......and after that.......

Got now't done today ..... am trapped ... reading the' Twilight' books by Stephanie Meyer, I am on book #2

Suitcases lay FULL, untouched....... dishwasher exploding!, ...can barely move for unopened mail....but I've committed to this marathon and must see it through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:lol: x 25

this makes me larph.......yes luv, just let the squalor build whilst you pine over Edward wiv your Tiger Pig! ;)

I must eat this POUTINE- with gluten-free gravy. Anything with potatoes, gravy and cheese (and lots of SALT) sounds good to me! Must one be pregnant to eat it 4 times a week? Actually if I ate it 4 times a week I would LOOK pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gads, I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want poutine :( *sniff*

I canna stand it.....it is very shrewdly set up so that you head in, turn many corners through a labyrinth of couches, then halogen lamps, BIKKART mirrors, SLOGENN bunk beds, through potted plants and closet organizers, can't take a shortcut, canna turn around, and all I need is a bloody wooden spoon!

OMG :lol: this is the perfect description if I ever heard one. Only went to Ikea once, after a three-hour drive, then an all-day wholesale gem/bead show......then onto Ikea. We were in there for hours....I got home at midnight........thought I needed to be carried out in a stretcher from that evil store.......was in post-traumatic stress, I think :bilnk: Have never been back -

store is too fab and I is too po'

That reminds me of George Costanza on Seinfield! The one where he breaks up with the woman because she is wearing flip flops and one toe goes over the edge of the flip flop...

aaaaaaaand we have another Seinfeld watcher here, pholks - poifect!! but - why don't I remember that episode? Have seen them all at least five times - I thought?

Wait! This should read, Do chickens have penii?

No, wait! Do civckebs have penii?

:lol:

I didn't even know how eggs came out, and what they really were, until two months ago. A friend in Carmel Valley has civkebs, and I said, what in hell IS the egg, how often do they come out, why are they THERE? :blink:

and she 'splained to me that they are like OUR eggs - unfertilized, that come out every months.

Geoss, do chickens lay eggs only once a month? :huh:

No one has actually ever TOLD me they are ugly, but I despise them :angry:

What is wrong with both the Susan's :( I, too am as you. Have an art desk setup (for 3 years,now). Have paint, brushes, paper that my daughter gave me for my b-day 1 1/2 years ago.

It was the "Coup de toe" episode (I don't know if that was what it is called - but I remember that phrase). Anyway, George is talking about how the second toe outgrows the big toe and becomes captain of the foot. I think it was earlier on in the show's run, if I remember correctly...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
