Welcome to the group. You'll be fine.

I'm ordering a container of these noodles this weekend. I'm looking forward to fixing some of the recipes on the noodle site. I love Asian food!!! If they're good I'm going to order them like crazy. ...

Okay...my wife will not like me saying this but, MsVetrn, you've changed my LIFE!!! These noodles look awesome. I'm about to put these noodles on my "to stalk" list.

Thank you so much for sharing.

@getdowngirl1: I'm wondering about these buffalo wings. Were they fried?

I'm having an outing tonight and the spot the guys have chosen is all about the wings. I haven't told anyone about my...

Well before the surgery I began avoiding carbs like the plague and, for that reason, I made KILLING sashimi my passion. Of course I don't get the large platter like I did before...I can't imagine...

My God that sounds good!!! I'm certainly borrowing these recipes.

Okay, I don't want to go on about this too much but I had to come back and report. Absolutely AWESOME!!!

@Lisa: I totally agree with you. I don't consider carbs to be my friend so I only get them when I have to which is usually in my vegetables. I also couldn't find protein bars that used casein (the...

I'm a bit of a research geek and I'm obsessing over protein these days. Well I went on a tear trying to find alternatives for getting protein in and I was hoping for something portable.
