    Hi Laura, You should be able to find it in the spice section. If you're not having any luck, Asian grocers usually carry it. Hope that helps. Mo

    Has somebody seen my ar$e!!!???

    Yeah, I think it "glommed" onto mine! The universe maintains equilibrium so whenever someone loses poundage, someone else gains it! Perhaps I need to try the Butts and Guts - and chase it over to someone else! Have a good one. Mo

    Have a dog with cancer? What did you do?

    I can only imagine how gut-wrenching this is for you and I'm so sorry you have to confront this. Of all the canines I've known to be diagnosed with cancer, they have all been pretty advanced in age - which makes the decision on treatment only slightly easier. I know if it were my dog (who is 9...

    Ms. Angry . . .

    Thanks to all for putting good perspective on the situation. I guess I need to trust that one or two days is not going to undo the last 4 weeks - and that I'm a committed enough person to simply hop back on the horse, so to speak. This is really a supportive group and I can't tell you all how...

    Ms. Angry . . .

    Good morning and a great Wednesday to everyone! So here's the scoop. I've been resolved to be a healthy more fit woman - and for the last 4 weeks am making important changes. I do cardio 5 mornings a week and weights 3 evenings a week. My diet has improved tremendously as well. I'm 5'2"...

    What to eat at the county fair?

    At last count, our state fair had 40 different "fried items on a stick". How ridiculous is that? If you're a cardiac physician in need of a job, come to Wisconsin! Mo

    Anyone have any thoughts as to what "fair food" would be the closest to healthy and clean as possible? Going after work this evening and I really don't want to blow what's been a clean week. Thanks for any input! Mo

    Magic Bullet

    Not sure if anyone has seen the "Paid Advertisment" for the Magic Bullet, but I completely fell for it and bought one (Walgreens, Shopko, etc. carries it). I absolutely love it. I really wanted it for making protein smoothies in the morning. It is just the right size for one smoothie, easier...
