    if I need something fast and easy, I usually still stick to "perimeter" stuff - canned beans/tomatoes, buy ground meat - boom, chili for dinner. apples and peanut butter - boom, snack or breakfast. eggs and rice cakes - boom, breakfast. carrots and hummus - snack/lunch/dinner/whatever. I usually have leftovers for lunch...

    I get very sound sensitive sometimes; drives me up a wall. and I used their 15dB cheap ear plugs for years - carried them with me everywhere, used 'em at concerts, planes, all that. but they just weren't comfortable enough, and since they didn't fit well, they probably weren't 15dB for me. I hemmed and hawed about forking over $200 for custom ones. I...

    tinnitus is common when there is exposure to loud sounds. being a musician puts you at pretty darn high risk for hearing loss! here's a decibel-damage chart Open Original Shared Link and another that includes loudness ratings for some common musical instruments: Open Original Shared Link (and one that relates that to dynamics: Open Original Shared...

    I'm not sure what exactly you're asking him to be more precise about. sometimes you can't identify the cause of physical issues like that. any injury in the past may have set you up for OA, and that's not going to show up, just what remains - the OA. PT, yoga, chiropractic, keeping moving! these are all important things. you want to be aware of how...

    alternative milks work fine in gluten-free cereals (almond, rice, hemp milks, not to mention coconut). pancakes and muffins can be made as healthy as you want to make them. fried rice (eggs, rice, some veggies, you don't even need soy sauce, just a bit of salt) works great for breakfast too smoothies (w/ protein powder) are a good option coconut milk...

    Im in that blue half, and we're getting an average of three calls a day. Ticks me off. Your robo call won't tell me factual information, is only trying to inflame me, and wastes money in the process. Go away machine!

    it's kind of ridiculously expensive, but we went with a zojirushi (the expensive one with "fuzzy logic"). it can cook any kind of rice, to perfection, no burnt bottoms, no sogginess, no undercooking. just perfect rice, no thinking required. kinda totally awesome.

    I would, myself, not try to eat anything special - just keep eating normally, but eat enough to compensate for the extra calories you're burning. Listen to what your body says it wants (within reason... half a pound of chocolate a day isn't really useful... even if tasty ). I find when I'm hiking a lot (100+ miles/month), I crave a lot more fresh foods...

    Cool. You didn't state any background, so I didn't know what to assume Thing is, hiking 2.0 miles at 500ft/mile gain is a lot different than hiking 5 miles at 1000ft/mile gain, and then turning around and decending. The elevation gain - for me - hits the asthma WAY harder and faster than speed or distance. The lack of practice with equipment...

    don't think that training for a long hike and a marathon are the same - they're definitely not. I could hike 18 miles in a day with elevation gain and all, and go back the next day for another 10 last summer, but I couldn't have run a half-marathon to save my life. they training isn't mutually exclusive, but not identical. to train for long hikes - hike...

    huh, that's odd. I had a link to my flickr pictures (not an advertisement, I don't sell my pics, and none of them come close to offensive, they're mostly trees from hiking!). perhaps someone edited it out? I'll try again: Open Original Shared Link

    we've named him Neo, like in The Matrix, and he's settled in, and doing well with what we're teaching him so far. he picked up sit very quickly, so we're mostly reinforcing; he naturally retrieves, so we just need to correlate it with a command. stay is just starting to happen, as he's just now getting comfortable with the idea of this being his permanent...

    The past week has been a blur of sleep deprivation due to our new puppy, who's finally getting more secure in his new environment.

    a can of diced tomatoes and some italian herbs simmered for a few minutes is a lazy approximation of homemade. (I never buy premade, cause I just don't use it, but also don't always feel like making a production from can, let alone tomato.)

    about 10% of the celiac population reacts to avenin, the protein in oats, which is chemically very similar to gliadin, the wheat protein which causes the autoimmune reaction of celiac. I would get rid of that product for at least a few months so you have *no* sources of gluten (also anything with wheat grass). also check for cross-contamination sources...

    cooking for other people - especially parents cooking for kids (regardless of your age - more so when you're an adult, it seems) isn't about the food. it's about the connection. whether she's saying it or not, she's reacting from a place of "my offering, my love, isn't good enough for her". it's not rational, it's instinctual. if she can't separate the...

    I can't yet recommend a single book. The breeder I'm working with recommended one book, but it's pretty stringent - more restrictive than I'm planning on being after doing more online research. It's a good launch point for thinking about how dogs eat in the wild, and basing their diet off that. At the least, I'm going to try to avoid things cooked at ...

    You could look into feeding your dog whole foods like we eat - there are dog nutrition books out there that will help you learn the basics. (I'll be trying a raw food diet with my dog, but have some Addiction and will pick up some Honest Kitchen for backpacking trips/emergency, and may rotate through a little bit of the grain-free kibble depending on how...

    higher doses of calcium, magnesium, and b'vits can help, along with a warm pad on the abdomen, and gentle walking during the cramping. oh, I know, "but it hurts too much" - the only time that's actually been true for me is when the cramping was so severe it was keeping me from breathing normally (you tend to hold your breath during extreme pain... this was...

    The first few months, if you're not used to the idea of limiting your diet, suck. But you're vegetarian, and it's much the same. No it's not, you say? That's a choice, and this is forced, you say? Not really. You can choose to eat gluten. You can choose to eat all those donuts. You have muscles that will pick one up and transfer it to your...

    most "vinegar" in products is apple cider vinegar (unless it says "distilled vinegar" on the ingredient list, rather than "vinegar"). most of the stuff I get, by chance, happens to list vinegar, not distilled vinegar. but I've had both, and haven't experienced a problem. I don't myself generally use distilled vinegar in recipes, because I don't really...

    I would highly encourage they not get a bird - even a parakeet - thinking it's low maintenance. It's not high maintenance, but they need appropriate care and interaction. They're at least "moderate maintenance". (Not to mention that a good diet for a bird is either going to have gluten or be a non-trivial undertaking, just seed isn't healthy.)
