Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 All I can say is the people who say muscular women are not attractive must be nuts. Way to go! Stasia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 Oh, that is great! What a compliment! ) My goals keep changing too. I wanna look like Lynn. That is my new goal. ROFL!! Sunshine yippee! I was out dancing last night, and one of the women I know squeezed my bicep and asked what I've been doing since I've been looking buff. Then she apologized for squeezing my arm. I said no apology needed! I want to hear that people have noticed! One thing about BFL is I have way higher expectations of myself than before. Just five months ago, I would have been ecstatic with where I am now. But after seeing all the 'after' photos and checking out all the muscle mags, I want to look like one of the magazine models. I don't know if I'll get there, but it keeps me motivated to keep up with BFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I have used it so many times since it came. Several smoothies - my favorite one being for breakfast, using steel cut oats. I need to buy some coconut though - this morning I had it with a large naval orange, an apple, a handful of blueberries, some Greek Goddess yogart, a few tablespoons of hemp hearts, a handful of spinich, some water and some ice. I don't like my smoothies terribly cold. I made the recipe in the dvd and manual - chicken, potato soup. My son loved it so much, I made it two nights in a row. I tried ice-cream but it came out like a milkshake. I didn't have more ice, so we drank it Today I am going to wet chop some veggies and make a course slaw type of salad. I want it to be lunch time already so I can play! Deb From: <kareningotham@...>Subject: Re: Yippee! Date: Tuesday, February 8, 2011, 7:42 PM And are you having fun getting to know each other? Yippee!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Isn't it fun, Deb? So glad you are loving it. I suggest you NOT wait until lunchtime to play! I like to wet chop my veggies ahead of time, and set them in a strainer so the extra moisture has time to drain off. From: <kareningotham@...>Subject: Re: Yippee!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Use frozen milk cubes for your ice cream--much richer. Yippee! Â My Vitamix just arrived UPS!!!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I agree about the moisture. I drain mine as well, especially coleslaw. You can always squeeze things too. I remember I use to make Cole slaw this way years ago, and haven't done it for years. Its so easy. I did lettuce and celery yesterday. For some reason, my carrot took a lot longer than the video did I saw recently. K -- Re: Yippee! Isn't it fun, Deb? So glad you are loving it. I suggest you NOT wait until lunchtime to play!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'm going to try that too. I made the ice cream with half and half and ice, and I wasn't impressed. It melted so fast. And was watery. The fruit ones seem to last longer. K -- Re: Yippee! Use frozen milk cubes for your ice cream--much richer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Oh, Heavens yes! I have cows, so cream is a staple for me. I often freeze it into cubes, or go ahead and puree my other ingredients (chocolate, pumpkin, agave, etc) with the cubes, then freeze those. I can also whip fresh cream into lovely whipped cream in the VM. I use goat milk too, but it has much less cream than cow's milk.From: K <kamako@...>Subject: Re: Yippee!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 , can you share a basic real cream ice cream recipe with us and proceedure? I wish we had real cows. We use to in Montana. I have heavy whipping cream from costco. Soon we will get a trader joes within 16 miles from here. I can't wait. Although I have never shopped there, I have heard about them for years.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I am pretty sure some of my recipes are in the files section here on the group.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Use 'em up fast when they're ready--they have a tendency to "freeze-dry." Re: Yippee!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yes, but you need to cut it with fruit, milk, half-and-half, etc. You don't want to end up with butter. Re: Yippee!

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Any tips on getting it out of the Vitamix? I tried it a while back and couldn't get it out, added more liquid and it poured out, but that wasn't what I had in mind.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I use my batterfinger spatula, or just tip the container upside down and give it a good whack onto my cutting board-probably not the best thing in the world for the container, but its what I do, lol.From: Sandy G <sandygoral@...>Subject: Re: Yippee!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 That's so wonderful that you are getting a Trader Joe's nearby! I wish we could get one here, but that will never happen... Whole Foods kind of has a run of things here in Austin. Not that I'm complaining - I love that Whole Foods got its start here, and I do love the adventure of shopping at the 80,000 sq. foot flagship store here - such fun! But you can never just run in and out of the store - it's always an ordeal. I long for the olden days when all my friends used to work at the original little bitty Whole Foods, and I used to hang out at the store waiting for my hippie friends to get off work so that we could go out and listen to some awesome Austin music. I still would love to have a Trader Joe's here (even though I might feel a little like a trader shopping there lol).FrannyOn Feb 9, 2011, at 12:32 PM, K wrote: <SENDER_EMAILkamako@wavecable@@com.png> , can you share a basic real cream ice cream recipe with us and proceedure?
