Re: 3 years?

Agar - Agar... I found it! However, it is a powder and says 1 tsp to 1/2 liter of water. I can't find anything on the internet to give me a conversion to 'sticks' like in your recipe. How much of the stuff do you end up with when you say 1 cup of threads or sticks? Any idea how to work with the powder? I'd LOVE to make this recipe but afraid to screw it up!

Thanks!

Heidi... you look awesome, you know you do. I mean, c'mon, us 25 year olds would *kill* for your body so what does *that* tell you?? I didn't know there *was* a recipe for kimchee. There was this small international grocery in the town I grew up that was owned by Koreans where they made their own kimchee, it was totally awesome... I think I need to steal your non-finished cookbook for my own purposes. Or perhaps just move in with you and the hubby and have you feed me... Do you have the coconut fried chicken one? And would it work with baking or just frying?

Re: 3 years?

uhmmm.... ok, I bake, I don't cook... any chance you have *any* idea of measurements?? You have no idea how fast I can make something that should be really yummy into a horrid accident. Hmmm.. lime + coconut = thai kinda taste???

Re: 3 years?

ps this is also very yummy on prawns!!!!

Re: 3 years?

That is sooooooooooooooo much better for instructions. Perhaps I shall go nutty next time I am at the store and do like, chicken and prawns and anything else I can lay my grubby paws on 'cause it sounds like something I would be madly in love with. I guess the ocean-mexican does make sense too... I can't put cilantro in anything, for some odd reason it reminds me of eating dirt (not that I would know what dirt tastes like or anything).

Re: 3 years?

I know what dirt tastes like I remember eating it as a kid!

well that and flax seeds blech they taste like chemical dirt to me

Re: 3 years?

I think flax tastes more cardboardy than dirty...

Re: 3 years?

I am a bit late but wanted to say congrats on living the atkins way for 3+ years.

Now I must talk about your stomach and how flat it is. On another thread you said that you had two c-sections. I have had three. How the heck did you get your stomach to look like that with no "intentional" exercise? How "bad" was your stomach before? Thats where I have the most weight. I would kill for your stomach.

Re: 3 years?

I cannot believe that you are 5'2" and had a 12lb baby! C-sections are wonderful things aren't they. How much did your other child weigh? Right now I notice my stomach is shrinking but its that awful flap over the c-section scar that I hate. Aw, it will take time but will go away(or surgery will take it away). My stretch marks are really faded and do not bother me.

I am still like at the idea of having a 12lb baby. Wow! Were you overdue?

Re: 3 years?

Does C-section make a difference? I've got a flap over my stretch marks; had a natural delivery for my DS. I keep hoping it will go away, but it is shrinking v-e-e-e-e-r-r-y slowly.

[MaggieBE]

Re: 3 years?

Well I only got the flap after I delivered my first child via c-section. It "folds" right at the scar. *shudder* I just thought it was a c-section thing though really I wasn't fat before I had my child. The most I weighed as a teen was 170 and then my stomach was just like like flabby(but no horrible fold thing).
