Booking a Good Hotel

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

I am trying to choose one of a selection of ogunquit ME hotels for my husband as he is going there on a business trip soon. He has asked me to find him something as he hasn’t got time. There are a lot of ogunquit maine hotels and I have a certain budget and so it is taking me some time to look through and find something which is in a good location for him and also in budget. It is not that the hotels are too expensive but that there is such a big range of them and I want to make sure that he gets the best that he can for the top budget that he has.

His company are paying and allow him a certain amount of money per night and it is nice if he can get the best possible. It is a business trip after all and he will be missing his family and I think there is nothing worse than having a hard day at work, getting back to the hotel and it not being very nice. There are lots of good ogunquit hotels and so it is pretty hard to choose, hopefully I will make the right decision.

How many beers can you drink

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008


in a session of getting “smashed” how many beers does it take to get you there, a buddy of mine is the same weight and height and has been drinking as long as i, takes him 16 beers, for me its 8, i tell him we both should cut down and he does not listen, we drink about 3-4 times a week, btw we are 5′9 220 pounds, male,21, so my real question is..is that normal, and also what does it take you to get messed up?

 

Hells yeah that’s normal. I’m 5′3 120lbs and it takes me like 20 beers to get drunk. I can kill a 24 pack to myself and still be having a great time. I usually just drink hard a cause of my tolerance.

—–

I think another factor would depend on the point value of the beer because I used to live in Oklahoma and they have a stupid bible belt rule with beer and it’s only 3point beer.I live in Alaska now and it’s 6-12 point here.But it would take me about 6 to get a buzz and 6 more to get drunk.I’m a light weight.lol

Veggie baby?

Thursday, July 31st, 2008


I am a vegetarian and my daughter is now 10 months old and i don’t know what to give her! I have been getting the baby foods with chicken and turkey i them (no red meats, she will not have red meats) but she is at the age where she needs to eat more proteins and be able to feed herself more often.
i have tried tofu and it went ok, but i don’t want to give her a lot of that, no more than once a week.
i really don’t want to have to buy meats… any suggestions on foods?? Do lentils have good protein for her?

 

f you were to read up on the matter, you’d find that all once living items (in reference to fruits and veggies) contain amino acids. Not trying to talk to you stupidly, but in case you didn’t know, are building blocks of protein. Then your body knows what to do with them, how to combine them according to your needs and what to reserve as well as what to throw away…..all within the liver!! Now of course the first year is the most important, as the human body does the MOST growing in the shortest period of time (everything growing, not just body like in later stages). But you will also find that the perfect food for the infant, breastmilk, only contains 5-11% protein (all depending on what baby needs as it reworks itself regularly to baby’s needs) per serving, while grown humans who are no longer growing in anyway consume way more than nescessary! You will also find that fruits and veggies contain 5% protein per serving as well!

So what does this all mean? Fruits and veggies are just fine for you little one!! As long as she is still getting her main source of food from breastmilk (or formula as a second best). Many parents actually find that their little ones have to have their meats disquised with better tasting fruits and veggies (think sweet like pears or sweet potatoes) in order for them to eat it!

And finally, you can try other foods like cooked quinoa, yes lentils, brown rice, and other whole grains, whether small amounts whole or ground/ mooshed up! I agree with the previous poster on feeding her what you are eating in smaller bites, prepared better for her, etc. Try to avoid the seed and nuts (peanut butter, almond butter, variety of nut milks) for a little while longer to beware nasty specific allergies to these things. Otherwise, Just have fun with it!!

first - GOOD FOR YOU MOM!!!!! beans/legumes & grains make a complete protien-which is what we humans need. any combo of those will do it. am a veggie and a Mom, raised 4 boys & two girls all veggie all grow and still veggie & one veggie grandson! the boys are well over 6 feet tall, & one daughter is pushing 5′11″. do try to educate yourself a little more on food combining - used to tell the kids they had to have all the colors of the rainbow to make sure they had all their nessary minerial & vits.- sounds silly, but it is a pretty good gauge to go by. being a veggie & a Mom can be challengeing & hard work - but i know MY kids were diffinitely worth it! so hang in there Mom - YOU CAN DO THIS!!!:) a veggie Mom too

p.s. - i even went so far as to write a veggie cookbook for my kids so they could have all their favs when they left for college & life. :)

——

When I was pregnant with our daughter, we discussed how to raise her, feed her, etc. and did lots of research on this. The most important/influential thing we read was (I’m paraphrasing here) “Children are simply miniature adults. ” What the author meant by this was that in a broad nutshell, there is really no reason to treat them any differently than you would an adult.
For instance, if it is 65-70 degrees outside and the parents are wearing light sweaters, do not put the child in a snowsuit! The same can be said for many different situations.

If you guys are sitting down to dinner and having, as an example, veggie burgers, and brocolli feed your toddler diced veggie patties and diced brocolli. For breakfast if you are having oatmeal and sliced strawberries, feed your baby a baby cereal and fruit baby food. Feed your toddler an age appropriate cereal and diced stawberries…etc.
We decided to not feed our child any different than we feed ourselves since we didn’t want to raise a picky eater (which comes from being raised on special meals and such after complaining to our parents “I don’t like that”, etc.) She is now 5 years old and has only been sick twice in her life, is of normal height and weight, very active. We get comments all the time about how “normal she looks considering she is a vegetarian”!
You can do it,

Im having a sweet 16 and the theme is a night in Paris. I need favors!(more info inside!)?

Saturday, July 12th, 2008


I need to find favors taht go with my theme a night in paris
or an eiffel tower favor under 5 dollars. If you have links please give them to me or any really good sites!

 

well if you want to give little favors for under 5 dollars picture frames that could have the Eiffel tower in it would be really nice and if they take a picture with you that day it would be perfect for them to put it there or just a picture of you in your dress that night.

And you may want to search at prom websites(since is a common theme for senior proms) if you want to order them online and you can customize the frame by putting “your name sweet 16″ for example

Kosher Chocolate for Poker Nights, Anyone?

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

What could be more fun than having the boys over for poker night? Playing with chocolate poker chips, what else! These poker chips are made of real chocolate and you can choose from bitter, milk chocolate, even white chocolate or whatever catches your fancy. They are imprinted with $10 to $100 symbols and placed in mesh bags so you can easily take them out to place your bets. And these are not just regular foil wrappings, they are edible and can be eaten off without having to unwrap them.

And if you need them to be kosher, no need to fret, kosher chocolate poker coins are also available. Chocolate manufacturers nowadays are sensitive to the needs of people staying true to their faith so kosher chocolate is now being offered. You can enjoy dark, milky and velvety chocolate without having to feel guilty.

Kosher parve chocolate are also being manufactured by some of the largest chocolate companies in the world. They ensure that no dairy is present in the chocolates so usually, parve chocolates would come in the form of truffles. Chocolates without dairy may sound a little strange but they are in fact very tasty and with most of them, you can’t even tell the difference from real chocolate. So whether you’re having fun with the boys or just plain snacking out, you can be sure to find kosher chocolate to suit your taste.

Le Creuset Cookware

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Le Crueset cookware is among the finest available. For over 80 years they have been creating the finest bakeware from enameled cast iron. They use a time honored method of hand casting molten iron in sand molds and after casting each mold is destroyed and the cookware is polished and sanded by hand and scrutinized for imperfections. Once they have been given the seal of approval, the items are sprayed with two separate coats of enamel and fired after each process at a temperature of 800°C. The enamel then becomes extremely hard and durable, making it almost completely resistant to damage during normal use.

All Clad cookware was founded over 35 years ago and today is recognized as a premier creator of find cooking items. During each stage of the manufacturing process, every piece of All-Clad bonded cookware is hand inspected to ensure that it meets their high level of quality standards. This extreme scrutiny slows the production process, and guarantees that every piece of cookware that leaves the factory upholds the reputation that precedes it. If you are shopping for the finest in cutlery, look no further than Shun knives. They are the world’s most famous manufacturer of high quality kitchen cutlery. With special designs made to give the chef the most comfort, a Shun knife will feel like an extension of your own arm.
