made typical Azorean fish stew. Invited us all to the feast.These folks know a bit about yummy, hearty, peasant food. Memories of granny's cooking. Could easily get fat here. Need to bring Bravo for lots of trekking.

I feel that foreign food is not quite my taste.
Thai food tastes me the most I miss Thai food I miss thai dessert
Think about thai food Think of authentic Thai dessert.

First, let me tell you the name of the Monster Energy. It's called Ultra Gold, and it's sugar free. It contains taurine, ginseng, caffeine, vitamin b and pineapple flavoring.

Taurine, if you didn't know, is a nervous system depressant and has a stimulating effect on the brain, so TECHNICALLY, it's good for you, albeit in small doses. Some will claim that the taurine in energy drinks is bull semen, which is false. The taurine in energy drinks is synthetic.

Anyway, back to the new Monster Energy.

Opening the can, I got a strong smell of pineapple, which I love! I took a sip, and was a bit disappointed. It tasted like watered down pineapple juice.. It's definitely not among my favourites, but I am not going to waste it. I will drink it and never buy it again..

I'll stick with the Mango Loco..

I can (usually) resist cookies and donuts, but the other night in the grocery store they had Biscotti on sale... 2fer1. This style is heavy double baked unlike others that are soft and spongy.
Almond & Vanilla. I'm up to one a day... okay, two a day and see my supply dwindling. I might not make it through the week.

It's evening... Time for a spicy crispy mouth watering evening snack !!!
I am missing Fuchka soooooo much !!

Do you like painting your fingernails?

Easter, at least in my family, is centered around food. Every year around Easter, we all gather for the annual Easter lunch.

That was a lot of Easter in one sentence.. Anyway..

The main attraction is food. It's always the same: Fish and eggs for starters, heavier meats during round 2.. Given that my family loves to eat, we pretty much just go all out on food!

Me? I'm the bread bringer. Literally. I am in charge of getting all the bread to the Easter lunch. My one pair of aunt and uncle brought the herring, cucumber, tomato and lettuce, while my other uncle brought Æbleflæsk, which is a traditional Danish dish consisting of cured or salted pork belly, fried with apples, thyme and sugar. Chopped onion is often fried with the apples.

My cousin and her husband brought the roasted pork, which is a MUST have during any Danish Easter or Christmas celebration. It's a crime not to bring it.

My cousin's husband's mother brought some light salads, and my mother brought the shrimp, the fish fillets, the candy and the snacks.

We each had to bring our own stuff to drink.

Yesterday was the Easter lunch, and today we had leftovers. You might be thinking "did you eat enough?", to which I say: Absolutely.. Whenever my family get together for food, we go all in!

We


In fact, there was so much food that we even had enough for a full course today.. It's absolutely insane just how much we eat during the holidays.. It's a bit scary, actually.

If you ever attend one of these feasts with my family, if you leave hungry, it's your own fault. The next feast coming up is a summer party, where we'll get some proper good food. We're talking hotdogs, roasted pork, sausages, lots of meat and dessert as well. Combine that with copious amounts of soda/water and alcohol, and you have a recipe for a good evening.

I am bringing the champagne!

But for now, no more food.. If I ever see a piece of meat today, I will barf...

While at the store thought I'd purchase a six pack of the pop just to see how it tasted so I bought some tonight to give it a try.It didn't taste to awfully bad.

Is it possible for us to survive with no food and water? Doctors are trying to determine that as they are baffled by an Indian man who claims not to have eaten or drank anything for the last 70 years. What is even more shocking? He is in perfect health.

Prahlad Jani is a local to the Indian city of Ahmedabad and is claiming he has not consumed any food or liquids since he was 8-years old. He also claims to have been blessed at the age of 8 by a goddess. This allows him to survive without sustenance except for that which he derives from the practice of meditation.

From April 22nd until May 6th 2010 in the private hospital Sterling Hospital, Prahlad Jani was observed and tested by Sudhir Shah and a team of 35 researchers all from the Indian Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS) and other organizations.

The large team studied Jani daily using clinical examinations, blood tests, and scans. 24 hour CCTV surveillance was used to ensure the maximum observation of Jani’s actions during the testing period. According to researchers, the only time Jani was taken out of his sealed room was for tests and exposure to sun. During these times, continuous video recording was done to ensure authenticity of results. Jani only had contact with any form of liquid when he had an occasional bathing session, which first took place on day 5, and when he would gargle some water. It is important to note that his toilet was sealed to test his claims that he did not urinate or defecate.

After the fifteen days of intensive observation during which Jani did not eat, drink or go to the toilet, all medical test results came back as normal and doctors described his health as being better than someone half his age. Interestingly, doctors reported that although the amount of liquid in Jani’s bladder fluctuated and that Jani appeared “able to generate urine in his bladder”, he did not pass any urine. The reported levels of Jani’ leptin and ghrelin, two appetite-related hormones, suggested that Jani may be demonstrating an extreme form of adaptation to starvation and water restriction.

Even after the 15 day examination, DIPAS is still interested in running tests on Jani to determine how metabolic waste material is eliminated from his body, where he gets his energy for sustenance, and how he maintains his hydration status.

The director of DIPAS believes that the results of Jani’s observations could “tremendously benefit mankind.” Professor Anil Gupta of SRISTI, involved in monitoring the tests, described the team as being “intrigued” by Jani’s kriyas apparently allowing him to control his body’s physiological functions.

Most people can live without food for several weeks, with the body drawing on its fat and protein stores. But the average human can survive for only three to four days without water. How is Jani able to achieve what he is achieving? Some believe that his access to bathing allowed him to store liquid in the body. Since the observation did not go on for longer than 15 days, some believe he might have eaten or drank after.

But Jani is not the first person to be tested with such claims. HRM, another Indian man, was tested for 411 days intensively after he claimed that he did not eat any food. While HRM did consume boiled water, during his 411 day observation it was confirmed that he did not eat during the period and yet his health was perfect.
