It's just difficult.
My entire family aren't exactly the nicest people!
My cousin who's months younger than me is a bit heavy, gets teased ALL the time.
Not in front of her though!
It made me wonder what they say about me, and all the girls at my school are skinny and I always feel insecure around them.
Don't get me wrong I love them to death, but I feel obese around them.
I'm sorry, stupid question.
I'll just go to my mum for help.
Of course, she'll insist on shoving food down my throat, but I'll just jogg it off.
I apologize for being an idiot as Heather put it.

If you want to lose weight you need a better program. Try some exercise routines, maybe a 30 minute jog every day and keep eating healthy food. You might need to cut back on how much you eat but you still need to eat. You will turn out worse if you stop eating.
youve read the magazines x seen the documentaries x dont put pressure on other people to give you an answer that you already know x that is ------- not good for you x even life threatening x
A very dangerous thing to do and if you survive you will end up looking worse not better, don't do it . Seek advice from the NHS website
Drink plenty of water and you should survive.

Your body will probably try to hand on to what it has. They call it 'starvation mode.' The body thinks it might not ever get any more, so it wants to keep what it has. That sort of dieting never works. Why don't you try just eating fruit and vegetables for a week? That does wonders. Don't go any longer than a week though.

And I thought you looked intelligent from your photo. Obviously I was mistaken!
If you started playing soccer and continued for 5 years, you will actually be gaining weight because of your sporting activity - all the flab you might have had is now healthy muscle and muscle weighs a lot more than flab. So you can discount that from some of your "worrying" weight.
I have a friend who was a vegetarian and is now a vegan - it's a real nightmare trying to feed her something interesting - now she is really chunky and carrying a lot more weight than me; so that's not a cure.
Stopping eating - yes - that will do it. Of course, before you die you will have to suffer a few inconveniences along the way, like scurvy (your skin will be dreadful and gums will bleed and you will have internal hemorrhaging) your sight, especially night vision will deteriorate due to lack of Vitamin A, you will suffer severe cramping and bone damage due to lack of calcium, you will become anaemic felling tired all the time, you will have nerve pain due to lack of vitamin B - do I have to continue?
If you have a Granny - speak to her. Grannies know what they are talking about!!!
Um... please don't do that. Your stats are just fine and if anything, I'd gain a little. Fat is such a phobia in today's world... especially for young women. You need some fat on your body! It's just the way it is. If you stop eating, the only weight you will be loosing is when your body starts feeding on itself and eats away at your vital organs and muscles... and ya kinda need those to live. And please tell someone you trust about what you're thinking about doing. It's such a harmful way of thinking. Best wishes to you kiddo!
You wouldn't lose anything because in order for your body to lose weight, you have to eat something. What your body doesz isz it burnsz the fat from the food you eat. If you have no food going in, it won't burn anything. And it'sz not only that but you have to exercise. That'sz a part too.
And starving yourself for a month isn't probably the best idea....
And I don't think you're stupid. It wasz just a question....
You'll loose about 114 pounds when they cremate you, accept what you are and try exercising to reduce your thighs
your thighs are massive? i bet its muscle and not fat from the sports u play- if you dont eat for a month you will probably die and even if you dont the amount of weight loss will make u very ill and will lead to complications throughout your life-sensible diet sensible exercise its the only way but dont expect miracles in a month
Do the special K diet...i.e. two bowls of special K one at breakfast one at lunchtime, then have salad/fruit etc at teatime, for two weeks. You should lose half a stone. After that, try this.
lunch.......sandwich/wholemeal or brown bread.
tea.........veggie meat/salad/vegetables raw.
then nothing until the next morning when you have muesli again.
I have done this for years and am slim and fit. If hungry in between, eat fruit or raw carrots.
swelly belly
dont be so fooking stupid.
cutting out food as a quick fix to lose weight doesnt woek. Why? Because as soon as you start eating again you put on twice as much weight.
So you would have to stop eating all together for a long long time, and me, an ex- anorexic and bulemic that battled with it for years, hearing this, im pretty insulted.
Not only did it mess with my body it also messed with my mind and took years of hard work to recover.
Dont be so stupid, if you want to lose weight then do it the healthy way by cutting out all junk, eat fruit & veg instead, drink loads of water and exercise - aerobics/running/tennis etc to burn carbs and lose the weight and go to the gym for muscle strengthening exerceises.
If you go down that path then you will never get out of it, ever, i still have my bad days now and I have to be honest, as i said, im pretty insulted by this.
the problem with starving yourself is your body then goes in stave mode, which means when you do start eating again, it stores all the fat in case you decided not to eat again, you'll end up bigger. your thighs are bigger because you play soccer, (football in england). its not fat its muscle. you weight isnt excessive. your not even close to obese. health is more important than weight. dont compromise it, just eat healthy, with a balance of all food groups, and exercise hun, vary your exercise also. but dont worry yourself into an eating disorder, its not worth it. it takes over your life and you'll find you'll never be skinny enough and the worst result is death.
i suffered from depression january 2006
i didnt hardly eat for 3 weeks and i lost 12lbs
but i wouldnt recommend it!! you will make yourself ill!
So you WANT a sometimes lethal eating disorder....? By the way, soccer probably did a lot for your thighs. Adding muscle helps burn a certain amount of calories. I'm sorry, but get help. Really.
You may well lose weight, but soon as you start to eat again you will pile on the pounds that you lost and a lot more
When u go anorexic u lose muscle first, not fat. Since your in soccer, i dont think u want that to happen. but to answer your question u will lose about 5-8 pds. The thing is though, once u start eating again u will gain back all the fat u may have lost and still have no muscle.
That will depend entirely upon whether you are buried or cremated at the end of the four weeks. If your parents opt for cremation you could expect to lose 114lbs 10 oz. If they opt for burial you will eventually decompose into a skeleton weighing perhaps 24lbs, so you would have lost 80lbs.
Doesn't matter how much you lose now you will screw up your metabolism for the rest of your life, and will have nothing but problems. when you start to eat again, even the tinyest bit, your body will store it as fat for the next fast and you will gain weight. all of what you have lost and more.
be smart! claculate your Body mass index and go from there. you don't need to lose weight. and your thighs are prolly all muscle. muscle weighs more than fat and burns way more calories, even at rest
young twig
You'll definitely lose A LOT!
you'll lose your sanity too...
how are you supposed to live without eating?
do you have a plan for that?
oh yeah..the best thing about not eating is losing your life.
Peaceful Heretic
Your body will react to this fast/starvation by holding onto all the calories & fat you have for as long as possible.
If you loose anything, this will be dramatically offset by the addition of pounds after you start eating again. A body which was recently starved will store calories as fast as possible & work harder to keep them locked in your fat cells.
If you don't eat, you die. The only way to loose fat is to exercise & eat right.
Being a vegan carries the responsibility of not simply obstaining from animal products, but also making sure your diet is well balanced with healthy carbs, proteins, good fats (like omega3s), vitamins, minerals & plenty of water.
You need an education on the function of the human body, maybe start with a personal trainer, or even a health-nut at your local organic food store.
PS: Your thighs probably have more to do with your bone structure in your hips & your muscles, rather than excess fat.
You are at a healthy/normal Body Mass Index, and loosing more than 5 pound would put you into the "Underweight" range, which is unhealthy AND unattractive.
Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you work out & eat healthfully, you may actually gain weight while loosing fat. But the weight you gain is muscle, which actually burns more calories when you are resting, and being toned is FAR more attractive & healthy than being simply skinny, but unhealthy.
You won't lose any. You will in fact gain weight. By not eating your body kicks into starvation mode, your metabolism slows down and any stray calorie you intake will be stored as reserve energy.
You cannot just not eat for a month, you'll drop dead. Go to a gym, eat healthy foods. Just because you are vegan doesn't mean you are necessarily eating healthy.
You're actually underweight anyways.
First off Bella, being a vegan is an admirable endeavor in my book. It is important to study up on what to eat that is a non meat product AND not high in fat. Many vegan diets are high in fat. Check around on line. Fried foods and nuts are condensed. Nuts do have some nutrients but it is easy to over do it.
If you stop eating you won't loose any weight.
Your body takes the signal as an emergency and puts the brakes on your metabolism. It slows down to conserve energy so it will have a reserve. When you eat after starving your body of necessary nutrients, your body is frantic to store fat for the next time might have to go without food. This is why so many people do Yo-yo dieting.
Your height and weight you gave indicates that you are on target for a healthy body fat %. If you have your period, it will flexuate every month.
Without talking to you, I am guessing that you are loosing some of your little girl figure and starting do trade it in for a womans figure.
You play soccer, your not obese and you eat vegies. Hey! You sound healthier than your average American girl. Relax Bella, try not to compare yourself to other people, I am sure your a beautiful young lady with a caring heart. Maybe some spunk too?
Life is too short not to eat. Bon Appetite.

From our library: An unexploded WW2 bomb
/ News
A BOMB disposal squad has removed a Second World War ordnance relic from a Lake District town.
Cumbria Police said at 9.36am today, they were informed that a member of the public had found what was described as an old ordnance relic in a property in Station Road, Cockermouth.
As a precaution, police installed a cordon around the area, and evacuated those in the cordon area.
A bomb disposal team from Catterick attended the situation and after carrying out assessments took the relic away.
Station Road, which was previously closed, is now open.
Cumbria police said they would like to thank the public for their co-operation and patience.

text: Patients are getting their monthly gamma-globulin I.V.'s at Mount Sinai Hospital. Clipboard in hand, Dr. Charlotte Cunningham-Rundles works the room, huddling with each of them. "You don't want to treat it like a filling station, where people just gas up and go home," she says, explaining why she insists on supervising such a routine procedure. "They won't tell you the little things unless you're there." The "little things" are what count for Cunningham-Rundles, director of Mount Sinai's immune-deficiency program, which treats 500 patients. "Charlotte's one of the main reasons I'm alive," says Linda Gonzalez, a patient. "She talks to us all the time," agrees Susan Davis: "As crummy as you feel, she makes you feel much better." Though frequently misdiagnosed, primary immune deficiency, or PI, is thought to affect one in 10,000 people, the same incidence as leukemia and lymphoma combined. While some symptoms mimic those of aids, PI is genetic rather than acquired, and rarely fatal if treated. Gamma-globulin infusions -- a treatment pioneered, in part, by Cunningham-Rundles -- supply missing antibodies, but some PI patients also need bone-marrow or stem-cell transplants. Trim and well tailored, Cunningham-Rundles has a light southern accent (she spent twenty years in North Carolina) that makes words like antigen and plasma sound positively sweet. She was recruited from Memorial Sloan-Kettering back in 1986 -- a big coup for Mount Sinai -- and in addition to treating patients, she does important drug research and teaches in the medical school. That makes her the kind of "triple threat" much coveted by major teaching hospitals, but what her colleagues still find most remarkable is her way with patients. "She has this incredible capacity to make them feel like they're the center of the universe," says Dr. Lloyd Mayer, chairman of the immunology division. "If there's a special test they need, she'll track it down." Cunningham-Rundles sees no disconnect between daily patient work and research. "The most important thing," she says, "is to take the latest lab developments and apply them to patient care."

Cost Plus
Cost Plus World Market is an American chain of stores with a specialty area of imported and domestic candies.
Tuesday, January 11, 2011
Maple Ice Mints
Yes, I'm the type of person who eats sugar straight. Mostly brown sugar, but sometimes raw sugar and of course honey. Then there's maple sugar. That's a kind of sugar that's actually marketed in little molded shapes to be eaten straight by non-sugar-obsessed folks.
Big Sky Brands of Canada is known for their little compressed sugar candies like Jones Soda Carbonated Candies and Yogen Fruz Smoothies. Their new Maple Ice Mints Original are far more subtle and dare I say, elegant.
The tin is rather ordinary but does the job. It has all the convincing faux wood grain of a early 1980s station wagon. It's about 3.25 inches long and 1.75 inches wide.
Inside the tin are 30 little mints, each is about the size of an extra strength aspirin. They have a small maple leaf on one side. They smooth but leave a little powdery residue. They smell woodsy and sweet, like maple. The ingredients list both cane sugar and maple sugar, the color of them is a light sandy white and since there are no artificial colors in there, I'm guessing that's the maple sugar that does that.
They're sweet and have a light fresh mint hint far in the back, but mostly they're a soft maple flavor. The great thing about the maple flavor is that it's not sticky like the syrup and other sugar candies.
The problem with them is the price, I suppose. They were about $2 for less than an ounce. It's tough in a Tic Tac and Altoids world to sink twice as much money into these. They're not minty enough for me to consider them a mint, in that mints are consumed one or two at a time and then set aside for another day. Nope, I wanted to eat the whole box of them at once. I succeeded in eating them in three separate sittings. They still leave my mouth fresh and were wonderful with tea or just as a little delight in the middle of computer frustrations.
The package doesn't say anything about the gluten status or nuts but they do appear to be all natural and probably vegan. (There's calcium stearate in there, but I've never seen a candy that uses an animal source for the ingredient since the vegetable version is so cheap.)

Sorini Maxipiu Assorted Chocolate Pralines
Around Christmas Cost Plus World Market usually has an eclectic collection of candies for entertaining and gifting. Many of their products are brands that have very little presence in the United States but are really well priced.
I saw this package of mixed chocolates called Sorini Maxipiu Assorted Chocolate Pralines. It's a big bag, 500 grams (17.63 ounces) but I was attracted to it even though it was on the bottom shelf because it just looked so different from the little novelty marzipan, torrones and panettone on the shelves. I didn't recognize the Sorini brand name but the images on the package made the assortment look like a good bet.
The chocolates are nicely packaged and easily distinguished. They're all in a bright gold mylar with clear print that says what's inside. There's also an inner paper-backed foil that just covers the candies and seems to cushion them and keep them from getting scuffed.
There were five varieties. Most of my assortment consisted of the Cereali and Arancia (well over half of the 42 pieces). The other three were Nocciola, Creme and Cocoa Beans.
The Arancia (Orange) is a dark chocolate piece. The chocolate shell is thin but has a nice sheen and crisp snap. The pieces are about an inch and a quarter long, so a nice piece to put in your mouth whole or take two smaller bites.
It smells a lot like orange, but more like orange extract than orange zest. It's like sniffing a bottle of baby aspirin.
The chocolate center is soft but not creamy, it's more like a Frango. However, it has a smooth melt once it warms in the mouth. The chocolate notes are strong enough to stand up to the one-note of orange. It's a bit on the dry side and a little bitter but the chocolate also has a fair amount of sugar in it. It was better when eaten as an accompaniment, like with coffee or strong tea.
I was disappointed that I only got three of the Nocciola and used two in the photo shoot. (I should have been paying more attention.)
There's a milk chocolate shell with a darker hazelnut paste cream filling. Inside was a half of a hazelnut. It was nutty and fresh but could have used more of a chocolate punch. I would have preferred more of these instead of all the orange ones.
The Cereali is a big milk chocolate ball filled with a milk chocolate cream and crisped rice. The size is similar to a Lindt Lindor truffle, about one inch in diameter.
These are fun because of the texture variations. They smell sweet and very milky. The chocolate shell is milk chocolate and very soft, the center is even softer but has a good sugary cocoa texture that's extremely sweet but at least not as greasy as the Lindor. There are little crispy rice bits that provide a little hint of malt and salt.
I would prefer a bit richer chocolate, something that's not quite so sweet.
The Creme piece is basically a milk chocolate truffle.
It smells milky and sweet with a little hint of cocoa (and a bit of a whiff of orange from the other chocolates). The milk chocolate cream center is soft and though not quite silky, it's very smooth.
It's a bit like eating a bit spoonful of chocolate frosting. I wasn't that keen on them, but there weren't that many of them (I think six), so it was easy to eat around them or just kind of grin and bear it until it was time to eat another variety that I preferred.
Cocoa Beans Crema Caffe was the most interesting of the bunch. Unfortunately all four pieces I got were slightly bloomed. It wasn't a bad bloom that made the chocolate hard or chalky, just a very slight white haze on the spheres.
The dark chocolate shell has a good flavor profile balanced with woody and coffee notes and a light fruity plum note. The cream center is a mix of strong, sweet coffee and cacao nibs. There are toffee and caramel hints along with the crunchy texture of the cacao nibs.
I paid only $6.99 for well over a pound, so I thought it was a good deal for an assortment. They're not really my style, I prefer chocolate that's darker or with more powerful flavors. I wouldn't say that they're a great hostess gift, at least not in this bag, maybe if you put them in jar or basket. They do look nice though out of the bag and are an easy item to put into a candy bowl to share with folks for the holidays. They're individually marked, which is a plus and they are different enough. I don't know if Lindt fans would be satisfied with the milkier flavor and less slick texture but maybe if you're looking for something to satisfy a larger crowd they're a good choice. But if you like something like Ferrero Rocher, I'd say stick with those ... these aren't for folks looking for nuts.

Halva Luxus Lakritsi
I spotted these new hexagonal boxes of Finnish licorice at Cost Plus World Market. They were rather expensive, but they were also over one pound, so the value wasn't too bad.
I like the licorice style known as Rockies, they're a black licorice tube filled with a cream, which is usually flavored. Many European versions are made with salted licorice, but according to this list of ingredients, it was sweet licorice. This package didn't say what the flavors were (there was another variety that were filled with a pastel cream that said Fruit) but the ingredients mentioned cocoa, mint, coffee and toffee flavors.
The illustration on the box appears to show four varieties (white, caramel, gray and brown) but I could really only discern three ... and I ate the whole box.
They were just a little sticky in spots but were fresh and moist. The bag smelled nicely of licorice and toffee with a little hint of smoke, beets and molasses. Each is about 3/4 of an inch long and varied in diameter, though most were about 1/3 of an inch.
The middle pieces, the light beige ones were a coffee flavored center. This was fascinating. I like the combination of licorice and coffee and it's not an easy pair to find together. The center is a little grainy, like frosting. It's sweet and has a very mellow coffee and toffee note to it. The licorice flavors and the texture of the licorice chew were at the front with the most dominance. I found myself picking through the package to find these.
The darkest looking centers were chocolate, I think. It was a sort of Tootsie Roll version of chocolate. There were some vague cocoa notes but it was rather empty and couldn't compete with the licorice and sugar flavors.
The white ones appear to be mint. The mint fondant filling is soft with a bit of a crumble though not completely dry. The minty notes are peppermint and menthol. It's a strange combination with the licorice, the whole thing has a medicated vibe but it's also fresh and doesn't feel heavy like some other licorice can. The mint though was very strong and overshadowed the licorice notes.
Overall in this mix, the actual licorice wasn't that strong. I liked it, it made it very munchable without giving me that feeling that I was eating too much licorice (it can have side effects) but it also left me wanting more licorice/anise punch.
I don't know why there aren't American licorice candies like this, it's rather like Licorice Allsorts, but without the coconut. I'd venture that many folks who say they don't like licorice might like it in this version where it's just a container, not the main event.
I saw that Cost Plus World Market also carries the plain licorice and salted licorice from Halva, I'm thinking I might want to try their straight varieties. I get the impression that this isn't the most elegant variety from Finland (which is known for its licorice), it's more like the kid's version of licorice or mass-produced like Twizzlers or Red Vines though I'm guessing with better ingredients (but perhaps some Finnish readers can help with that).
These contain gelatin, so are not vegetarian.

Tunnock's Caramel Milk Chocolate Wafer
Tunnock's is a Scottish biscuit company located in Uddingston (outside Glasgow), Scotland. They make a wide variety of baked goods but those in North America are probably most familiar with their teacakes (a digestive biscuit with a marshmallow on top, covered in chocolate) and their Tunnock's Caramel Bar. I got this bar from my friend Ernesssa, who went to Scotland a few months ago. I liked it a lot so when I saw a package of four at Cost Plus World Market, I thought I'd buy it again so that I could do a complete review and see if the Scottish & American versions were different. (Turns out both are made in Scotland, though Tunnock's has a factory in Canada.)
The only difference, as far as I could tell, between the American & Scottish was the packaging. The Scottish ones, shown here, are in a simple thick foil wrapper. The package I bought in Cost Plus has a big more substantial wrapper. It was a light mylar sleeve and then the four bars were sealed inside another larger mylar sleeve. The Scottish version was easier to unwrap and reseal, though I don't think it was nearly as airtight as the American one. I was concerned that my Scottish-purchased one was a little stale.
The bars are large and rather ordinary looking. Each is about four inches long and 1 inch square. The chocolate coating is quite thin and light, the waffle pattern of the wafers can be seen.
It's five layers of wafers sandwiching four layers of caramel then a thin coating of milk chocolate.
Beefy and substantial looking, it's an odd mix. The wafers are light and airy, so the bar is much lighter than it looks. But the caramel between the layers is like a glue that keeps it all intact as long as possible, no flakes escape here.
It's sweet and only slightly milk and cocoa-ish. The chocolate coating is creamy but doesn't contribute much flavor. The wafers are basically airy and have a lightly malted flavor, but not much else. The caramel filling is kind of like a penuche or clotted cream fudge. It's not gooey or chewy, but does create a little bit of a softer texture. The wafers aren't exactly stale, but they're not dry/crispy like some other wafer bars. At first I thought that was a bad thing, but I found I liked it quite a bit, it was just a little bit more textured than a wafer ice cream cone.
It reminds me of cereal bar - you know, one of those bar cookies that you make at home, more than a candy bar. For something that's only one ounce, it's satisfying. So for folks watching their calories, at only 130 per bar, they're a good option - only 5 grams of fat, which isn't bad for a chocolate combination bar.
I don't know if I'd go out of my way to get these again, but I understand why they're one of the top ten bars in Scotland. They're different from KitKat, which has more chocolate and less crisp, and the lightly toasted caramel notes add a different dimension from other more caramel-focused bars like Mars (Milky Way). I love the packages and motifs for their whole product design. I don't think I could resist buying all of Tunnock's products at this point, just to see how each is done.

Hello Kitty Lucky Stars Candy
I'm a sucker for novelty tins though I've learned over the years to appreciate them in the store and not try to bring everything that captivates me home.
I've been tempted for the past few months by the Hello Kitty Lucky Stars Candy at Cost Plus World Market. I resisted, I actually did. But then a package turned up from Sweets & Snacks Expo with some samples and this was among them.
The cute tin is shaped like a Chinese food takeout container, complete with little metal carrying handle.
The tin holds 1.5 ounces of red and white compressed dextrose stars.
The base is 2 inches square, the top is about 2.125, so it has slightly tapered sides. It's about 2 inches tall as well. The top fits nicely and even has little embossing like the flip top would. The red enameled finish and decoration is very nicely done. Everything is well made on the package, no sharp edge while the carrying handle swings easily.
Both the tin and the candy inside is made in China.
The stars are a shiny glazed compressed dextrose, like SweeTarts, but not actually tart at all. They're about a half an inch across and rather thick. The mold is nicely shaped, they remind me of little sheriff's badges. I think they're the same flavor ... possibly some sort of pineapple. Of course the red ones taste like red food coloring, which I suppose is better than the taste of cadmium or lead that probably comes from licking the actual tin.
They're crunchy and satisfying, like tiny Sprees without the tangy note.
If you're buying this candy, you're buying it for the packaging. Which is fine, it's a cute little tin and it would be great for something like rubber bands, paperclips or those weird scented erasers. The little plastic bag inside only fills up half the tin anyway. It's easy to refill with anything else.

Sukoka Soft Coffee Candy
I was cruising the aisles of Cost Plus World Market looking for a pick me up after Christmas and saw this rather generic looking Sukoka Soft Coffee Candy by Unican on the shelf. It said it was made with real milk and apparently real coffee, so I figured it'd have a little caffeinated kick. So I bought it. Then I ate them all, without reviewing them. So I had to buy another bag.
It seemed a bit on the expensive side, 3.2 ounces was $1.99. But it was also only $2 and it might be great, so why not give it a try.
Mostly the package was focused on the nutritional benefits: With 6% daily value Calcium in each serving, which is 5 pieces. So a little more than 1% per piece. There are 30 pieces in the bag, so at least I know if I went wild, I wouldn't overdose on calcium.
Each little piece was individually wrapped and sealed. I've noticed this is common with candy from Indonesia (also Malaysia and Philippines), I'm guessing it's because people buy single pieces and that the weather there is very humid so sugar candy needs to be well sealed to keep from getting sticky.
The description on the back of the package goes on to extol more of the virtues of the candy:
But I don't think that the ingredients are the very best (that that they're terrible):
I don't know what condensed filled milk is, I'm guessing it's sweetened condensed milk.
The pieces are about the size and shape of a cough drop. Just light and creamy brown lozenges. They smell sweet and like black coffee. The flavor is immediately like coffee ice cream: milky and with a soft bitter note of coffee and burnt sugar. The toffee notes are most evident and the coffee has a good mix of bitterness, charcoal and woodsiness. They're firm but have a give to them that's more dense and more dairy than a caramel. The chew is smooth but never quite gets grainy or diluted.
The coffee flavor wasn't intense but it was satisfying and rich. I have no idea if there's a measurable amount of caffeine in them, I didn't notice any effects, and I'm rather sensitive to it. I bought this second bag yesterday and it's already gone, so I must have liked them. I wouldn't eat them for the health benefits though.
These are a great summer candy. They're exceptionally durable, even in the heat they might melt a bit, but are still perfectly edible even if they lose their shape and reform. They're creamy and rich, so it's kind of like chocolate without the sticky mess. The individual wrapping means you can even tuck them in your pocket.
Unican also makes a milk tea version called Suteka and a mint chocolate one called Mint Choka as well as a whole line of fruity milk candies called Milkita (strawberry & melon). The tea one sounds like it would be very good. These are marked Halal and should be suitable for vegetarians (but not vegans, obviously).

Haribo Pontefract Cakes
Pontefract Cakes are named for an ancient town in West Yorkshire England where licorice used to grow. The region was known as the few places in the British Isles that licorice could be cultivated.
The licorice plant was not native to the area, it was likely brought in and planted sometime after the Crusades, sometime around the year 1000 or perhaps as late as 1090 when the Benedictine monks that came to the town to found their monastery. Licorice root was steeped and used like a syrup to sweeten drinks (or flavor spirits) and the roots were chewed as a treat. Sometime around 500 years ago the locals created a licorice confection known as Pontefract Cakes, which are really more of a little medallion of molasses-based licorice. The disks look rather like a coin or a blob of sealing wax. They don't grow licorice in the area any longer, but there are still two factories that make the age old sweet: Haribo and Monkhill Confections (originally known as Wilkinson's).
In fact, true Pontefract cakes were made by hand until the 60s. Rolls of licorice dough were pieced into little blobs and then hand stamped. These Haribo Pontefract Cakes preserve that hand-stamped look.
I was expecting these to be stiff and hard, like the continental European licorice. Instead they're quite soft and pliable. They have a matte finish and feel like coins made out of silicone. I found that even though I didn't seal up the bag well, they still didn't get stale or tacky.
The early cakes had different embossed images in them, it's said that they were of the Pontefract Castle, but this Haribo one is just a vague rectangle in the center (that might be a castle with a flag) and the Haribo Original name.
They smell sweet and a little herbal. Since these weren't American-style licorice pieces (that usually contain wheat), I was expecting something a little smoother but perhaps a bit stronger. Instead I found quite a different flavor profile. First, it's barely sweet. The sweetness is woodsy and rather delicate. The chew of the cake is soft and not quite gummy but more hearty than a gumdrop. There's a little hint of salt to it (actually quite a bit 200 mg of sodium per serving) and the charcoal notes of molasses. The nice part about the flavor is that it's a true licorice, not amped up anise. It's mild and soothing.
They were a little weak to satisfy my licorice desires. I like a really hearty licorice with a lot of molasses with caramel, toasted sugar and charcoal notes, it seems to moderate the very sweet nature of true licorice. But these are easy to eat and though they stick to my teeth a little bit, the smoothness keeps me coming back for me.
These contain real licorice, so those with heath concerns with licorice extract should avoid it. It's also made with gelatin, so it's not for vegetarians or those who keep Kosher/Halal.

Real Eggshell filled with Hazelnut Chocolate Truffle
At the Fancy Food Show in January I saw these lovely little items and couldn't wait until I found them in the store.
The name isn't so enticing but at least it's accurate: Real Eggshell filled with Hazelnut Chocolate Truffle. I found mine at Cost Plus World Market, which has a great selection of Easter candy this year. They were a bit expensive at $3.99, so for some folks this might replace the chocolate rabbit if they're on a budget.
It's a real eggshell that's been emptied and filled with a gianduia. The shell is then resealed with a little sticker dot over the hole, painted up and sold. The chocolate resolidifies and when the shell is peeled off, it's like hard boiled egg made of chocolate.
I thought it might be cute to serve them as a dessert like a soft boiled egg. I didn't try it myself, but I'm guessing instead of sticking them in the fridge before opening you could pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds or a pan of hot water for a minute to make them soupy. Then it'd be like a rich hazelnut pudding that you'd eat with a spoon.
Even though it's what I'd consider a novelty product, the ingredients are gourmet: sugar, hazelnuts, cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, milk powder, soy lecithin and vanillin. I didn't refrigerate either of mine before opening them, so I think as long as it's not too warm (over 75 degrees) they remain solid enough to peel.
I opened mine two different ways. For the green one above I peeled off the sticker at the bottom. This showed that the painting is added after the filling is added, as the sticker is also painted and the margin under it is still a white chicken egg shell. For the second egg, the yellow one, I just smacked it against the edge of a table and pulled off bits.
Both eggs I had contained a void inside - so thought this one looks like it's a hollow egg, the vacant space isn't really that large. It's kind of like the real air pocket in chicken eggs.
The truffle inside is soft, smooth and creamy. The hazelnut flavors are the best part - grassy, roasted and nutty. The dairy and cocoa butter keep it ultra smooth and the cocoa touch mellows it all out. It's on the sweet side, not as sweet as Nutella or a Milka bar, but sweeter than the dark chocolate versions of gianduia I've had from Caffarel.
The confection is a novelty that lives up to the promise. It's beautiful, unique and charming though a bit problematic to consume. I thought the best way to eat it was to expose enough truffle filling and then bite it off. Then I misjudged and got a little eggshell ... eating eggshell makes me think I'm eating my own teeth (I know, weird phobia). Finally I ended up taking off all the shell and muddling through with melty fingers.
$3.99 for 1.75 ounces actually isn't that bad for true European gianduia, but still it seemed expensive because of the effort involved in getting the shell off. My favorite style of egg decoration is the laborious Ukranian style. That would be inappropriate for these because the shell is destroyed to get to the candy (Ukranian Egg Decoration or Pysanka application would also destroy the filling, which is added first). The point is that I didn't care much for this airbrushed 80s reminiscent dayglo abstract.
Though the package says that the 1.75 ounces are a single portion, I found it too much to eat in one sitting. It's 290 calories.

Ever since I received my first business proposal via email from a Nigerian prince, I've sat around fantasizing about making money on the internet by doing nothing.
(Go ahead: crack a joke about how I do just that by writing this column. Have you had your fun now? Good.)
Now as I was saying, although the prince's offer didn't work out so well — I'm still waiting for the billions in expected returns on the $10,000 I wired over as a goodwill gesture — I have found other ways to scrounge up cash with minimal effort. Here are some marketing-based sites and apps I've tried and the returns I've gotten:
Swagbucks is a portal that pays you to shop, watch videos, do web searches and sign up for pointless subscription services that are so desperate for members that they pay Swagbucks to promote them. I steer away from the extraneous stuff and stick with web searches and occasional videos.
Whatever algorithm the site uses ensures that you get your Swagbucks within the first few searches, then none for hours thereafter. So I start each day by searching on Swagbucks until it pays off, then I ignore it until the next day. You can redeem your Swagbucks for gift cards from Amazon and a number of other retailers, or even cash out via PayPal, but Amazon gives you the most return on your investment. My minimal effort results in about $5 in Amazon money every month.
Learn more or sign up for Swagbucks here.
This one tries to work the shopping angle harder than Swagbucks, spamming you with daily deals and coupons that will pay off in points if you use them.
You don't need to go quite that far, though. If you click on the links in each email you get points you can eventually redeem for gift cards. MyPoints, you'll find, does not hold back on the spam: Expect to be bombarded with 10 or more messages a day.
If you stay up on things, and fill out the occasional surveys, which pay better, you'll get enough points for a gift card every three or four months.
I was excited when this Android-based app burst out onto the scene a couple months ago, promising to pay you for something so simple as unlocking your phone. The app slapped ads on your lock screen, swipe right and you are at your home screen. Swipe left and you learn more about the advertisement. You get paid the same either way.
You have to wait three months until you can cash out for the first time, after that it looks like you can cash out monthly.
Shocker: This one is all about surveys. The usual suspects, including Amazon, Paypal and the others, line up to pay you off once you've completed enough of them.
In addition to online surveys, you can also get them via mail. These are particularly lucrative, often sending you cash right in the envelope as though you're an Oklahoma State football player. Sometimes the surveys come with single dollar bills and sometimes fivers. If you stick with the online surveys, expect it to take two or three months to garner enough points for a gift card.
My personal favorite of the moment, this one is all about Microsoft being so desperate for people to use its search engine that it bribes people to do so.
For every 30 web searches you do per day, you earn 15 points. Once you amount 350, you are in the money and can get one of those Amazon gift cards I adore so much. If you stay religious with the searches, you can easily nab a gift card every month, or save up your points for a couple months for better value.
You feel sorta bad for Microsoft, unless you realize that you are overpaying them for Xbox 360 games, Windows 8 computers and Microsoft Office. Then you get over the guilt pretty quickly. Just like with the Nigerian prince, who I'm starting to think may have not been on the level with me.

(Naw man, mad people was fronting
Aw man, made something from nothing)
Lyric Meaning
This is a repeated lyric from "New God Flow." It simulates dialogue between a successful hip hop artists and his critics. It is deliberately cliché, making both the accusation ("Cars, money, girls and the clothes. Awww, man you sold your soul") and the defense ("Naaw man, mad people was frontin. Aww man, made something from nothing") seem ridiculous.
G.O.O.D. Music is making light of criticism of the upper-middle class background of some of their members and their reputation as artistic and lacking in "street cred" by using over-exaggerated, outmoded street talk (e.g. "mad people was frontin'").

For anything less than the serious Rams fan, it really did take a program to keep track of the participants running around the turf of the Edward Jones Dome.
The almost-annual Governor's Cup game against cross-state rival Kansas City turned into the Bubble Bowl on Thursday night. It was a night for backups to get some work and for players on the fringe fighting for jobs.
When all was said and done, the Rams eked out a 10-3 victory, ending preseason play with a 2-2 record. It marked only the second time in six years the Rams have avoided a losing record in exhibition play. As a topper, the Governor's Cup is coming back to St. Louis. Before Thursday, the Cup had resided in Kansas City for four of the past five preseasons.
"I tell you, the greatest part about getting the Governor's Cup means you won the game," Scott Linehan said.
Linehan literally was speechless when handed the trophy by Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt. Nothing personal, governor, but Linehan just wanted to walk off the field Thursday night and head into the regular season.
"Obviously, I feel very good about winning any football game," Linehan said. "But the biggest thing we wanted to impress upon our team, we wanted guys to take it up a notch. We wanted our tempo to be better than it was last week and the week before.
"We worked very hard on that in practice. Regardless of the group that was in there, we wanted to show the improvement that way, and I thought our tempo and intensity in all three phases was much improved."
In last year's preseason finale against Miami, Linehan rested 20 of 22 starters. He went a couple of steps further Thursday. All 22 projected starters for the Sept. 9 regular-season opener against Carolina were rested against Kansas City.
No, there wasn't even a one-play cameo appearance by running back Steven Jackson this time. And there wasn't even a pretense of playing by many of the Rams' veterans. Linebacker Will Witherspoon and return man Dante Hall, for example, had baseball-style caps on several minutes before kickoff. Wide receiver Torry Holt went one better: Although in uniform, Holt didn't bother to put on his shoulder pads.
For the most part, those who did play displayed the intensity and tempo Linehan wants. Defensively, the Rams allowed a modest 259 yards, and the tackling was generally crisp. The coverage units bounced back by allowing no kickoff return longer than 23 yards and no punt return longer than six yards.
The offense wasn't spectacular or anything close to spectacular but there were no turnovers and quarterbacks Gus Frerotte and Ryan Fitzpatrick misfired on only nine of 32 passes. Frerotte, who sat out last year's preseason finale, started Thursday.
He wrapped up an impressive preseason by completing 11 of 14 passes for 97 yards in two series before giving way to Fitzpatrick in the second quarter.
The Rams moved 52 yards on 11 plays off the opening kickoff, with Frerotte completing seven of eight passes. But two penalties stalled the drive in Kansas City territory, so the Rams settled for a 36-yard field goal by Kevin Lovell. Jeff Wilkins, who kicked against Miami last year, was held out Thursday.
In a contest that featured the NFL's two lowest-scoring teams this preseason, the Rams and Chiefs played up to that billing. Lovell's first-quarter field goal stood as the game's only points until late in the third quarter.
That's when the Rams scored only their fourth TD of the preseason, when Fitzpatrick threw a 20-yard scoring pass to Marques Hagans with 2 minutes, 47 seconds remaining in the quarter. Under heavy pressure on the play, Fitzpatrick stayed firm in the pocket and ended up on the ground with Kansas City linebacker Rich Scanlon on top of him at the end of the play.
All told, Fitzpatrick completed 12 of 18 passes for 105 yards and also finished as the Rams' leading rusher with 26 yards on seven scrambles. The 10-0 lead held up with Kansas City able to muster only a 40-yard field goal by Justin Medlock in the fourth quarter.
"I thought Fitz got better as the game went on," Linehan said. "It helped for him to play more extended time. If you give a guy a chance, especially at the quarterback position, to play through some things, he's going to improve. And I was happy to see that."
Kansas City coach Herm Edwards didn't go quite as far as Linehan in terms of resting regulars. The Chiefs started a mixture of starters and reserves on defense. And star running back Larry Johnson, fresh off his contract holdout, started and carried three times for 12 yards on the Chiefs' opening series.

My love for American Girl began not in childhood (they weren't around then), but instead 8 years ago. The Junior League asked me to emcee an American Girl Fashion Show. Having a son and an infant daughter, I had no idea what it was all about, but they convinced me it was very cool so I said "yes". From that fashion show forward, I was hooked. I loved the historical dolls, the Just Like Me dolls and the wonderful message it sent young girls: You can be whatever you want to be. I immediately got my daughter her first Bitty Baby and in the years since, we've gotten several others and read the books often. I've also continued emceeing the fashion show.
I've also been impressed with the company as a whole. When Santa delivered my daughter's Just Like Me doll one Christmas, her nose, cheeks and fingers were way too pink. So, my daughter and I called Santa's elf at the North Pole in charge of the American Girl dolls. She said it was frostbite from Santa's sleigh and that we could send it back. Not only would Santa replace the doll, but the slightly damaged doll would be fixed and sent to a little girl who wanted an AG doll but couldn't afford it and didn't get one for Christmas. (That story still makes me smile!)
So when American Girl called and asked me to be an official Parent Partner for their Shine On Now Initiative, I couldn't say "yes" fast enough! I love the concept: inspire our daughters to make a difference while American Girl gives money to charity. What more could you ask for?! So what does all this mean to you? A lot.
Just go to the interactive Shine On Now site with your daughter. For ever charitable act she does, she gets a FREE star. For every star contributed to the effort, American Girl will match it with a $1 donation. The goal is to collect a million stars by July 31st, 2010. That million dollar donation with pay for books, clothes, dolls and money for four charities: Kids in Distressed Situations, Save The Children USA, National Association of Children's Hospitals and National Wildlife Federation. Plus, every time your daughter contributes a star (she can donate up to 100 each day), her name will automatically be entered in a daily drawing to win a new My American Girl doll.
But wait... that's not all!! As a Parent Partner, I will also give away a My American Girl doll!
Along with American Girl, I want to honor the girls who make a difference in their families, schools and communities. So, up until July 31, 2010, you can nominate a deserving girl to win her very own My American Girl doll which she will have the opportunity to fully customize! To enter this giveaway, tell me about a deserving girl, the wonderful things she does for her family, friends or community and why she is deserving of her very own American Girl doll. Please do not disclose the child's name but do describe her life, her activities and the grand things she does for others! You can just put that information in the comments section of this blog.
Other ways to be in the running for my giveaway:
- Follow CindyWMorrison and AGShineOnNow on Twitter and Tweet this giveaway up to 3 times per day, please leave your twitter link each time, tweet a form of this message: Win an AmericanGirl Doll and learn about #ShineOnNow @CindyWMorrison http://bit.ly/AGgiveaway
- Blog about this giveaway, including links to this post and the sponsor as well as a complete description of the campaign/contest and prize. Make sure to come back here and let me know where I can find your blog.
Got it?
Let's encourage our daughters to MAKE A DIFFERENCE ... in the meantime, she might just get a special surprise for giving back! Tell all your Girlfriends!!

F&F HostelPunta del Este, Uruguay
Great value, good central location, nice neighborhood, and friendly, helpful staff. It's just a few minutes' walk to get to the beach (Playa Brava). Nice pool and patio area. It does get cold at night this time of year, so you may need an extra blanket to keep warm, but that's no big deal. Look forward to staying with them again on my next trip to Punta del Este!
Hostal Al YarasElqui Valley, Chile
Great place to experience the Elqui Valley. A relaxing spot to take in the valley, and to appreciate the clear, star-filled night skies. Richard is an excellent host, and makes some tasty jams from the locally-grown fruit, which you can try at breakfast. Easy to take the bus anywhere you want to explore the other communities of the valley. Definitely recommend Al Yaras on any visit to the Elqui Valley.
Hostal El ArbolLa Serena, Chile
A very good choice in La Serena. Nice house, on a quiet street located across the street from the Japanese gardens. Bus station and shopping areas are close as well. Good breakfast, and very friendly and helpful staff!
Nomades HostelSantiago, Chile
Nice old house in Bellavista. Good location for anyone wanting to spend time in Bellavista -- it's a five minute walk to Patio Bellavista. But the bathroom was not cleaned at all in the two days I was there, and one toilet seat was missing.
North House is a great option in Bogota. Location is ideal, with all the shopping, dining and entertainment options nearby (Zona T/Zona Rosa), plus convenient access to the Transmilenio system (Héroes station) no matter where you want to go in the city. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere - they make you feel at home. Have stayed here before, and will stay here again!
Backpacker`s Hostel IquiqueIquique, Chile
Great central location, especially if you want to spend time on the beach. Mall of the Americas is close, as well as a few big supermarkets (HiperLider, Jumbo, and Unimarc). Very comfortable place - a very welcoming environment.
Street Garden HostelVina del Mar, Chile
Great hosts - very welcoming! Location is also excellent, in a nice neighborhood near the beach and the main avenues San Martín and Libertad. Good spot for making friends - very sociable atmosphere. Highly recommended for any trip to Viña, and Valparaiso for that matter, which is only a few stops away on the Metro.
Backpackers Kaweskar HostelPuerto Natales, Chile
Great place to stay before or after your trip to Torres del Paine. Kaweskar is like a bed and breakfast - you feel right at home (you even leave your shoes at the door). Alex and Omar are great hosts and very helpful. Breakfasts are one of the highlights - cereal, bread, eggs, fruit, juice and tea. Would definitely stay with them again on any return trip to Puerto Natales.
Hospedaje MagallanesPunta Arenas, Chile
The only negative about my visit was that I could not stay longer! Great place to stay. It's got the warm welcoming feel of a bed and breakfast - and their breakfasts are very good for that matter. I look forward to returning.
Dominica Hostel SantiagoSantiago, Chile
Different experiences dealing with the staff, from one nice friendly girl, to a gruff man who scared me after hearing him yelling at someone on the phone. You don't act like that in front of guests. The facility itself is fairly secure, but the neighboring streets are questionable at night, with the drunk rowdy crowds at the bars. East of Pio Nono has a safer feel. On the positive side, it's close to Patio Bellavista, and the Metro station (Baquedano). The house itself is nice.
Hostal AlcatrazSan Miguel de Allende, Mexico
Very good location, close to the main plaza. Only issue was that even at 8 am, there was still nobody on duty when I was ready to check out. I had no intention of wait around for somebody to show up (whenever that might be), so I didn't get my key deposit back.

Los Mostros HostelPanama City, Panama
Just found this new hostel, and very impressed. In a very good central location (and good neighborhood), a short walk to two big shopping centers (Multicentro and Multiplaza) and the bus stop for the MetroBus (which you can take to/from the airport for just $1.25). The house is great - very well kept, clean, nice atmosphere, nice people ... plus, there's the relaxing backyard with a pool. Definitely recommend Los Mostros!
North House is in a great location. Much better to stay here, in the Zona Rosa area, than in the Candelaria (where most BOG hostels are), because the streets are dark and deserted there at night. Also, from NH, it's only a couple blocks to walk to the Transmilenio station - very convenient. And, they make me feel at home at NH -- excellent hosts. Highly recommended!
El Litchi Hostal ColimaColima, Mexico
Great to see a hostel in Colima. El Litchi is located on a nice quiet street, a 10-min walk to the main plaza in the Center, or a 15-min walk in the other direction to Felipe Sevilla del Rio, a busy commercial avenue with restaurants and shopping. Alex and Javier are very helpful for whatever you need to know in Colima. Definitely recommend staying with them.
This was my second time staying at North House hostel. I first stayed with them last year because of their location in the Zona Rosa, one of the best places to stay and explore in Bogota (the Candelaria zone is fine in the daytime, but would not recommend it at night). Everything is safe and secure at North House, and I felt completely comfortable when out at night. It's a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and they made me feel right at home. Highly recommended!
Hostel Condesa ChapultepecMexico City, Mexico
Really not happy with the bathroom/shower situation. One bathroom for guys, and ZERO power outlets -- not even any place to plug in an electric shaver or hairdryer or anything like that. Would choose another hostel just for that reason alone. And the guys should have a REAL shower, like the girls bathroom has.

I felt kinda bad for the clones who got sent away, but I think they still found ways to have fun.
I flipped this horizontally, and it instantly made me happier.
I felt bad for them too... They were fun!
I looked at this when the show in my T.V said "Twighlight my ASS!" Oh god I just lol'ed
an eternal pool party
Oh man, those faces!!! XD
Lol, a party indeed.
das adorable
Let's party!
They all live in their small happy little and full of fun world.
Is it just a Pinkie party or did they just forget to invite me?
<3 This is my canon ending to the episode, now.
Waterlollies, anyone?
I like this style.
So adorable.
Yet another great work of work, Maggot!
Such a pretty grotto. A shame they sealed it.
Ha ha ha, this is fantastic. I don't know why, but the Pinkie with the cake back there is making me laugh more than I should.

Why fail? It looks good.
Hey, how's it going, Thunder! I really love the smudge in this piece, but I think you didn't execute the lighting and colors correctly. I think if you would of made it a bit more vibrant, and the lighting less forced, it would of looked 10x better. It just feels like to me, that it's really washed out. The colors look drained.
Still, though. I still give it an 8/10. This would easily be a 10 with more vibrancy. <3

Germans have been guzzling masses of beer for long enough to know what soaks it up best: fat, boiled knockwurst with crusty rolls and hot mustard, mountains of kartoffelsalat and giant slabs of Wiener schnitzel. Lord help any light eater at Lederhosen: In the goofy confines of this hyper-German restaurant, you're expected to eat and drink like you're in a real biergarten, and even the soup is carbo-loaded (gulasch with spaetzle). You can easily stuff yourself for $12, but lunch offers the best deals for the hungry man: wurst, potato salad or fries, sauerkraut and bread for $4.50.

Once nearly a ghost town, the small Texas burg of Indigo has enjoyed a revival thanks to a dedicated group of artisans. But its future is jeopardized when Casey Ford, the owner of most of the town property, threatens to sell his mineral rights to a strip-mining company.
China Bayles comes to Indigo to teach a workshop, but finds herself embroiled in an investigation when Casey is found dead.
A charming read, INDIGO DYING leads the reader lightly into the world of Texas's Hill Country. Albert has a gift for deft and deceptively simple characterization. This book should please both old fans and newcomers to the seriesdespite some early slow-pacing. (Jan., 320 pp., $22.95)
