    Yours was cauliflower, mine was brussels sprouts. Not too good a combination in everyones eyes.

    Hey everyone, happy new year! I read some other posts - lots of folks worse off than I am so I guess I'll cheer up. Besides, I'm starting my ten pounds in ten weeks effort (advert. for another thread!)

    brussel's sprouts - why I have some waiting for me in the frig!!! Maybe that's what's wrong with my life, eh? I don't have any reason to feel as badly as I do sometimes, although my shrink says I do (PTST). It's damn boring - that's for sure. I worry about dying by accident from too many antianxiety meds - so I don't take them and then my chest hurts. Not sure what to do except distract myself by reading JWD and telling other people how to run their lives!

    **immature teehees - hortensia wrote a swear word!!!**

    **regains 'sensible' composure** - that was an alternative spelling for 'fridge' in the US you used there wasn't it?!

    Sounds like you may need to learn what I learnt - just because you have a different kind of pain to others, it doesn't make it less valid - don't put yourself down or beat yourself up for it!

    Good luck with the diet tooI had broccoli and sweetcorn today - tasty combination, I recommend it.

    yes, you're right - lots of different kinds of pain out there. I'm tired of mine - wish I could get over it already. As for my supper, tonight I think it will be sweet potato and brussels sprouts. I love them both...yum. and then I'll have calories to spare for fruitcake!!!

    I never had sweet potatoes - what are they? what do they taste like and how do you cook them?

    I've seen them for sale occasionally, maybe its time to experiment!

    sometimes called yams, although they are a vine fruit and real yams are a root. Full of nutrition - potato-y texture but sweeter flavor. Microwave a big one for ten minutes. I hold it in a pot holder, slice it open and scrape the sweet potato out into a bowl. I used to use butter, but I've found out that some juice is just as good, a little apple or orange juice to make it creamy when you mash it.
