Oats for breakfast this morn. Gotta go to work but then trainer time

working sunday? do sick people not plan?

A few hrs of paperwork at the office, and gotta see patients in the hospitals. I use Sundays as my catch up day for the "business" side. Proofing dictations, doing the books, making sure invoices are paid, that kind of stuff.

You are not allowed to leave unless you first get someone to fill in.

cabin fever is driving me nuts.

I know there's a joke just waiting in that line...

Exchanged presents with people in DC since we are all about to be traveling elsehwere for Christmas. I got my girlfriend a Nook 3g, she got me a Nook Color...then we switched.

Brown rice goes rancid more quickly so storage is an issue, which is why I think most places consume more white rice, which is more processed and has a longer shelf life.

Brown rice has only had the hulls removed, and has not been further processed, so it retains more nutrients. It's also more filling, and I happen to like the flavor and texture.

And "healthy" doesn't just mean "less calories". Whole grains have more nutrients and fiber.

I dug a little more, and white rice v. brown rice seems to also be a cultural issue. Brown rice is for peasants and animals.

so which are you?


(running away...)

I love the taste of brown rice, but also love white rice. We have Basmati, Jasmine, Arborio, Extra Long White, and brown rice in our pantry. Pasta and Rice take up an entire shelf.

same here. brown bread for peasants and white bread for the lord of the manor. peasants crap more easily.

I'm so bored and have cabin fever but nowhere to ride.

Did you ever get a proper pair of shoes. You know, one's with tread. You could take a stroll in the limey winter wonderland.

no. but i did find a solution. my golf shoes work a treat! the problem is i changed the iron studs for soft plastic studs a while back because some of the fancier courses would not allow metal spikes on their greens. what a load of crap. now i find they are wearing out fast on the ice. i need to change the spikes.

I'm a peasant AND an animal.

I've diversified away from always using rice or pasta after going gluten free for a while and wanting options other than just rice, so we've got brown basmati, arborio, and then french green lentils, and quinoa. Sometimes I'll switch out the brown basmati with white jasmine.

i liked your snow shoes in your pic.

Very creative.

how very new age.

I was thinking--Lucky Mr. Truckstop

Here's a view of the underside. Very grippy.

ruokie's mind is in the gutter.







again.

You are welcome to join but don't "crash" the ride. PM sent with details.

Also, you are right our club is very active and the rides section is always being updated with new rides. You should see the ride board in the summer, it's crazy busy. Now that it's the off season there are only a few rides/week. Supposedly the club has 400+ members which is pretty good for a suburban area. I suspect about 100 of them are MTBers though. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

You are just jealous that you can't participate in their extra curricular activities.

You mean dress in flannel and get high??
