Welcome to Gaia! ::

Snacking on high-calorie avocados, nuts and dried fruits is also a good option. Lay off the sugary soda and junk food, those only add empty calories.

i've been building up alot of muscles lately, especially over the spring while i was frisky and being more active. i have been doing workouts and wrestling and having stickfights, all to let out some agression. last couple months i've been having dates and those have built up muscles in me too...

but see, while my muscles are getting better, what little fat i have is diminishing, mostly cause of all the sweating...

i do thank you for the tips, they will come in way handy. eugh... avocados though, *shudders.* >~<

So, omfg. I just made the best ******** chickpea curry. I didn't really like the last recipe I tried, so I made up my own.

1 lbs dried chickpeas
1 can taste of thai coconut milk (the thick stuff, not runny)
2 tbsp honey
3/4 cup orange juice
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tbsp yellow curry powder, more to taste
1/2 tsp ground red pepper, more to taste
fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp corriander
1/4 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp cinnamon
black pepper to taste
cumin to taste
2 tbsp organic peanut butter (not the s**t stuff, it has too much sugar in it for this recipe)


to prepare dried chickpeas, you need to soak them overnight in twice the amount of water (you'll need a big pot) When you're about ready for preperation, simmer chickpeas covered for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Drain them in a strainer, replace in pot, and add coconut milk and heat until bubbling. Add the juice, the spices, and the honey. Meanwhile brown the onions in vegetable oil and then add them to the pot. Add salt to taste, garnish with chopped red peper and fresh spinach leaves and serve hot.

O.o; what the-!? you need to try my family's curry recipe! ^_^ taken from my stepdad's mother's line. Adji makes the best curry ever! whee

anywho, that does sound realy yummy though, but i won't like, i'd probably complain it isn't spicey enough if i tried it... heh.. sweatdrop

Nothing is ever spicy enough for me sad

This is a milder curry, it's not really hot at all. It relies on the coconut flavour to enhance everything. It's good s**t. I've made lots of different curries, and I like pretty much everything.

Do itttt, it'll put some meat on you >:C

Go Meat Meat, Go Meat Meat, Go Meat Meat~

so I'm bullshitting some baked cheese and vegetable stuffed tomatoes right now... oh my god, it smells so good. I didn't follow a recipe though, so if it turns out, I'll put it up, if not, maybe I'll add more absorbent foods and let them dry out longer... x_o
