  1. Ok- the calories are not surprising - anyone who thinks any of these foods are not total calorie bombs is just delusional- but the sodium counts on these are just ridiculous! Why should "french toast" have over 2,000 grams of sodium per serving? http://consumerist.com/2014/07/30/presenting-the-9-most-calorie-filled-chain-restaurant-meals-of-2014/#more-10174650

    Chocolate-Cola Pound Cake

    wayout- You do not have to beg (although that can be cute) and I will PM you the recipe if you promise to share the result but not the recipe. One slice to a friend will be enough sharing and you can hog the rest. Just be prepared to slave for hours in the kitchen preparing this. No S&M's need apply. Best regards, RA1 I solemnly promise not to share the recipe.....and slaving in the kitchen to make something lusciously delicious is the journey that makes it all worthwhile for me

  4. The human body needs salt. The Romans knew this and paid their salaries in salt or equivalent. However, we modern folks, especially in the USA, have way overindulged in salt. I do not cook with salt or even have it in the house but no doubt I still get way over my quota of salt. I find that salt usage is strictly a bad habit. Now, after many years of this kind of diet, even raw tomatoes taste salty and sometimes, too salty. Today, we do not need salt to preserve food as some did in the past. There are plenty of artificial preservatives with unpronounceable names which likely will kill us in ways other than the heart attacks, etc. that salt can bring on. Just choose your poison. "No salt added" is just a distractor. Without a doubt there was already too much salt in that product to start. It will take a lot of compromising, education and, perhaps, legislation to make much headway in the battle against salt. Best regards, RA1 PS---The salt vampire did indeed rush right to the point. No foreplay intended or required.

    Having run many websites over 20 years I can tell you that sometimes shit happens and not much you can do about it. I learned way back to make sure we had a backup and it could be resolved to solve any issues with servers. That costs a bit more than a typical server but in the end, I found it invaluable. Most servers offer backups and Daddy should be able to request a restore from his. If the back up is corrupted, that is another issue. But, if it was being backed up from the hosting company, they should resolve this for him. A great deal about service depends on your provider. I use to go cheap to save money but there were tons of issues. For over 10 years now, I have had the most expensive hosting company in USA. The reason is service. They have fanatical support and will put you in touch with a level 2 tech 24 hours a day when I call. Yes, a bit overkill for some but for me, it took away a great many headaches and stress. Now, I am not saying this is what Daddy should have done. I am only say that for those of you out there that see his issues, you must know this happens and if you plan ahead and get a good hosting company, you won't go through what Daddy is going through right now. I have done it in the past and do not wish to ever do it again.

Learning about constipation Please note that these pages are designed for information only. If you have any health concerns or issues you should discuss them with your GP. What is constipation? Constipation is a digestive complaint that affects the bowels. It can result in bloating, abdominal pain, hard stools and reduce the frequency of bowel movements. Many of us know what it feels like, but how exactly does constipation begin? The colon, or large intestine, plays an important role in digestion. When food reaches the colon, some water is absorbed back into the bloodstream and through the colon's muscle contractions, waste is eliminated. Constipation occurs when the colon absorbs too much water, or when its muscle contractions become sluggish which causes the waste to move more slowly than usual. The slower passage of waste through the colon means more water is absorbed back into the body which contributes to the stools becoming hard and dry. Although the frequency of bowel movements can vary significantly between healthy people, constipation is defined as having less than three bowel movements per week. Who suffers from constipation? Constipation is extremely common with almost 14 million sufferers in the UK and women are twice as likely to become constipated than men. Constipation can affect anyone from any age group and most people will suffer from it at some stage in their life. However the following groups are most prone to the effects of constipation: Children Young Women Pregnant Women Menopausal Women Elderly What might occur if you experience constipation? Some common problems include: Fewer bowel motions than usual Stools or motions become hard often making it difficult or painful to pass Cramps, aches or pain in the lower abdomen. Feeling 'bloated' or ‘sluggish’ Nausea Loss of appetite You may experience a feeling of incomplete bowel emptying Long Term Effect: If left untreated Constipation may cause piles and rectal bleeding as a result of excessive straining. What are the common causes of constipation? Some of the common causes of constipation include: Diet Insufficient fibre in the diet is a common cause of constipation. The recommended daily intake of fibre for an adult is 18g per day, however the average person in the UK has a daily intake of just 12g. Fibre helps keep you regular by “bulking up” the stools which helps ease the passage through the bowel Dehydration Weight loss diets Therapeutic diets e.g. gluten free Anorexia nervosa Menstrual cycle and pregnancy: About 40% of women become constipated during pregnancy primarily due to hormone changes that slow down the muscle contractions in the colon Medication: Constipation is often a side effect of certain medications such as anti-depressants, codeine based painkillers, iron supplements, antacids for indigestion (especially those containing aluminium) and diuretics Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Constipation can often be a symptom in IBS Some diseases including diverticular disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, colorectal cancer, haemorrhoids, hypothyroidism and diabetes. Other possible causes include significant lifestyle changes such as travel, or change in diet; lack of physical activity; stress; and ignoring the very natural ‘urge’ to use the toilet- possibly because the environment does not make you feel comfortable. How do I avoid feeling Constipated? The good news is that most cases of constipation can be addressed through dietary and lifestyle changes, although treatment ultimately depends on the cause, severity, and duration of constipation. To learn more about constipation and ways to treat or even prevent it, please follow one of the links below: How to avoid Constipation Constipation during Pregnancy Constipation in Children Prune Juice and Constipation Keeping you Smiling on the Inside!

  17. Dr. Pepper is made with prune juice, as everyone in the know really knows It is an urban legend that I grew up with and to this day I enjoy tormenting my nieces, who insist on Dr. Pepper at every family gathering, with that piece of certitude. http://www.snopes.com/business/secret/drpepper.asp Not being a fan of Dr. Pepper myself, I have no issue with the myth

  19. The low- or no-salt canned foods are some improvement. Still being canned, of course, that just means they taste moderately less horrible. The one exception I can think of is prepared chicken broth. Most brands I've tried that are packaged in the newfangled cardboard boxes are notably good, and even more so in their low-salt versions.

    They did a fantastic job and really enjoyed it. I love "Wicked" and have seen it maybe a half dozen times. Kind of a tradition with my nieces in that we all saw it for the first time together on the London stage and every time it comes to town around the holidays we go to see it. Another way for doing YouTube videos that I find even easier is to go below the video you are watching on the YouTube channel and click on "share". A link in a box appears and you simply copy that (highlight, ctrl-c) and then paste directly into the post (ctrl-v). That is the way I've been doing it anytime I post a YouTube video.

    Chocolate-Cola Pound Cake

    I suppose it somewhat depends upon how you want your calories. The pound cake has lots of sugar so a few more tablespoons of cola which is sugar, flavoring and water will not make much difference. I view it mainly as a moisturizing ingredient. Cheese cake has cheese, butter, some sugar, whipping cream, etc. which are very high caloric ingredients. Truth be told, my favorite desserts are plums, tangerines, cherries and apples. Fresh fruit makes it for me. I am not trying to be "good". That is simply the way it is. OTOH, I like to cook and for those who like lemon pie I have a recipe that some think is so good that I am reluctant to mention in public what you would have to do for me to make you one.
