well, I think I need to get some laundry started and all. Hope your friend will be okay with her job, Atalante. *hoping for boss to get mono and spend 12 weeks in bed* bunny, you are stronger than I was, I took off work 6 weeks before our first was born!

hurshy

i am irked.
11:25 am
bunnyvicious

Why?
11:25 am
caitlyn

Why hurshy?
11:26 am
hurshy

well i used to look and see if things had partially hydrogenated fats and not buy them. then they made them put a label about trans fat, and so i just look at that and buy if it says zero
11:26 am
hurshy

but apparently the FDA has not heard of fractions, because apparently zero is not really zero, it's just less than one.
11:26 am
bunnyvicious

Is less than 1% enough to hurt anything?
11:26 am
hurshy

so here i am munching away at gingersnaps which do in fact have trans fats in them. back to checking ingredients.
11:27 am
hurshy

if 4 gingersnaps have half a gram each, and i eat half a box, then it becomes enough.
11:27 am
shmoozanne

ep8 anyone?
11:28 am
bunnyvicious

My husband said that the they are making it illegal to put trans fats in restaraunt food in NY City, but he jerks my leg a lot so....
11:28 am
hurshy

and i have several products with the same situation, if i eat a bunch of them in a day...
11:28 am
bunnyvicious

Schmoo, if you have the ep 5/14 before it, add a word for consume
11:28 am
hurshy

well the more they crack down on trans fats the better. apparently the health effects are like with cigarettes - absolutely awful long term.
11:29 am
shmoozanne

ty bunny
11:29 am

ep8 - ep 5/14 + someone who already had dinner
11:29 am

ep 5/14 + i just *** dinner
11:29 am
bunnyvicious

Really? I don't know much on the subject to be honest. Think I'll look into it more, cooking for 7. I thought it was really just a diet to lose weight issue.
11:30 am
majmom

need ep5/14
11:30 am
hurshy

yeah the deal is that they do all the bad things fats do, and none of the good things.
11:30 am

11:31 am

nm found it
11:31 am
bunnyvicious

They aren't natural then? In processed foods only?
11:31 am
hurshy

right.
11:32 am
hurshy

cookies, crackers, those are big culprits.
11:32 am
abe79

i have a book called "trans fat solution" which is a good read, and has transfat free recipes
11:32 am
bunnyvicious

grr, I like crackers... I make most of my own desserts, never buy store bought, but I suppose some of the ingredients would have them as well.
11:33 am
hurshy

there are one or two types of crackers that have no trans fat. just check the label for the words "partially hydrogenated", don't believe the trans fat 0 part.
11:34 am
bunnyvicious

As an afterthought, if I lay off the crackers, my rear end may shrink some.
11:34 am
Edonia

how many a words?
11:34 am
hurshy

for ingredients, shortening and margarine should be looked out for.
11:34 am
bunnyvicious

99
11:34 am

butter, of course, being natural, has none, though it still has your saturated fat.

hi everyone, how's it going?
4:59 pm
TeaNCrackers

Tea's name is Kemma - that was my hubby's grandmother's name. Kemma's godfather is a very strait laced gentleman and when we told him what we were naming Kemma when she found out she was girl, his first response was like the tea?
4:59 pm
stidmama

hi Natasha, I was so grateful for an easy grid today!
4:59 pm
Natasha

me too, the last few were brutal
4:59 pm
TeaNCrackers

We all paused and then he explained - Chammomile tea - get it, Kemma meal tea. The man never cracks jokes, so that was as good as they get from him. He gave me a box of Chammomile tea for my baby shower.
5:00 pm
stidmama

unusual and pretty name!
5:00 pm
Scrabbler

How old is Kemma now?
5:00 pm
TeaNCrackers

Cracker's name is Graham. Pretty self explanatory on that nickname, but it fit right in with Kemma's, so it stuck.
5:00 pm
TeaNCrackers

Kemma turned 3 in August, and Graham turned 1 in July.
5:01 pm
Natasha

wow--how do you have time to babble, sounds like a lot of energy in your house?
5:01 pm
stidmama

Perfect! Oh, what fun to have names like that.
5:01 pm
TeaNCrackers

Graham is named after my grandfather, and is the 12th child in that family to have that name in one form or another.
5:01 pm
Natasha

or maybe I'm just remembering when my twins were 3...
5:02 pm
TeaNCrackers

Tons of energy here, but usually I am at the computer when Graham is sleeping in my lap and Kemma is playing, or late at night, after they are in bed.
5:02 pm
Natasha

I guess you take the breaks when you can, huh?
5:03 pm
TeaNCrackers

Plus, hubby works nights, so he is up with us in the morning, and I try to get some computer time in then, too. They are both really good at playing together and if I have to get up to handle them, I will.
5:04 pm
Scrabbler

Sounds absolutely exhausting.
5:04 pm
Natasha

hope you didn't take that as a criticism, tea...just a bit of wonderment regarding the demands of young kids
5:07 pm
stidmama

I used to use the computer as my access point for adult interaction when my kids were little -- of course that was a decade ago and things have changed a bit online since then! Still, it was nice to have anything to do that wasn't bunny or car related.
5:08 pm
