Your everyday food

@mayka123 @mayka123 (17084) • India 9 Feb 09

It is difficult for me to decide the menu at home for just two of us. We are two with different tastes and different needs. I am trying to diet just now and just cannot decide what to cook everyday. I am trying to trim the fat...

bantilesroger Me? I just eat what's placed on the table. It's a good thing I am adventurous in culinary taste. It means I consider what's on the table as a new and exciting experience. So whatever is offered, however it's prepared, it's okay with me. I just remind the cook...

bantilesroger Yes, I will remain quiet since it is the nature of my job to keep my mouth shut. I will still help my friend without telling him of what I know. There are many reasons a spouse strays. I will encourage my friend to give his wife an extra dose of tender...

bantilesroger Seldom do I read a book in bed, unless there is no other place that is peaceful, like when you are traveling in a ship, and there is no other place to read except in bed. The posture is not good when you read in bed and I have heard it said that, ultimately,...

bantilesroger I don't get annoyed, but sometimes it's really slow understanding. But the title compensates. If the title is quite clear, understanding the topic is made easier.

Time with your children

bamakelly @bamakelly (5191) • United States 3 Feb 09

Do you usually like to spend time with your children? If you do spend time with them is it because you feel that you have to or does quality time mean a lot to you? I think that children need us to spend time with them more than...

bantilesroger I agree with you. Time spent with children is worth it, both for the children and you and your spouse. I am speaking as one who missed about 7 years of meaningful companionship with my children and spouse because of work in a distant province. I still regret...

bantilesroger If the fruit juice is fresh from the fruit, then I will choose it over the iced tea. But if the fruit juice is also a preserved one as juice or as powder, then I will prefer the iced tea. It takes less preservatives to preserve tea leaves than an equal volume...

bantilesroger I'm very fond of science fiction, so my imagination people the stars with extra-terrestrials. Sometimes I also imagine that the stars are the abode of loved ones who have gone ahead. When imagination fails, wonderment and wishful thinking take over.

bantilesroger I love to eat spicy foods, especially the very hot or "deviled" cooking of Indian, Sri Lankan, Thai and Indonesian menu. Spices also have lots of medicinal value, so in a sense, I am eating both food and herbal medicine.

Would you eat the same dish today which you had yesterday?

modstar @modstar (9605) • Philippines 26 Jan 09

Some people are too picky when it comes to food. Would you eat the same dish which you had just yesterday?

bantilesroger If it's still in good condition, yes, I will eat it. Doing so saves time and cooking fuel and reduces food expenses.

baileycows @baileycows (3665) • United States 20 Jan 09

I find it weird that Obama and Bush are 10th cousins. The presidients all link back to the British embassies. Does anyone else find this odd that we keep electing people from the same family line????????

bantilesroger No, I don't find it weird. It's about heredity and genes and a certain predilection or inclination, and it's a good thing, as far as I am concerned. It could be Bush's lineage, it could be some other politician's. But is not President Obama related to...

bantilesroger This is a healthy dose of a sense of proportion and a good reminder on the nature and structure of American politics. No, I don't think the very high expectations about him are setting him up for a big fall. Because President Obama is very different from...
