I have friends who own several different houses, all
beautifully finished and most of them rented out, but the
one they live in has an incredible kitchen with top of the
line everything. When they remodel their kitchen, someone
will be getting great deals on unused equipment. They don't
use their kitchen. Their fridge usually contains some juice
and a few cups of coffee and some croissants to be nuked for
breakfast. They eat out every night. They don't have
appetizers, drinks or desserts, just a main course and
water. They figure that it's just not worth the effort to
shop and cook and clean up.

Kitchens are vital to resale value, they have their eye on the
bottom line. Nothing wrong with that.

Are they each the size of a house and constipated? Sounds like aside from
having too much money, they don't get their 5+2 a day. You have to go to a
pretty high-end restaurant to get decent veg, and I don't see much fruit
figuring in their diet either.

What's the +2? I assume the 5 are the five basic food groups.

I think he's probably referring to the dietary recommendation to eat
"5 serves of veg and 2 of fruit" each day for a cancer-free bowel.

I don't think I would ever have eaten 5 serves of veg a day (except on
days I eat a lot of salad). I should nibble on more Carrots.

What is a "serve" anyway?

I eat mostly vegetarian at home, and I try to have at least one piece
of fruit a day, but I have no idea how many 'serves' I'm eating.

I do find when I go to other people's places that they eat way more
meat and way fewer veges than I do, even on my "dammit I want a
steak!" days....

I think a "serve" of vegetables is about equivalent to a cup, or a
small handful.

I don't eat anywhere near regularly enough. Many days I'll just have
one meal.

Fastidious when it comes to the kid though. Always sure he gets the
right amount of fruit, dairy food, vegetables, cereal, etc.

Was worried about getting right, so went to see a dietician to make up
some daily "kids" menus. (I think it was actually that dietician who
told me what a "serve" was.)

Glad to see I'm not the only one that has "those days"! <lol>
I'll even pay a premium price once in awhile for a good steak when I get
the craving.

I always serve it with steamed asparagus or something on the side tho',
as well as sautee'd mushrooms.

Not at all. They are both tall and slim and very healthy looking. The eat in
decent restaurants, not greasy spoons. From what I understand, she loves good
food, but she is not much of a cook. She hates the work and despises cleanup
work. They throw lots of parties and have them catered. They can afford it. They
don't drink and they don't eat desserts. They figure that by the time you buy all
the ingredients and spend all the time preparing meals and cleaning up you might
as well just go to a restaurant and let someone else do the work.

And this is not just a complete kitchen. It is a dream kitchen, well designed and
filled with top of the line range, fridge, counter tops, taps, pots and pans, all
the bells and whistles.

I should probably further clarify that Chookie is a gurrrrl of the
lady variety (or at least she is, and always has been, in my
unwavering opinion).

Although, sometimes one isn't safe even with "lady". I once had a
harpy scream abuse at me because I referred to her as a lady.

"I'm a woman not a lady, you condescending chauvinist f&*ker," the
lady exclaimed in a very loud voice.

That's when Mom stands in front of the refrigerator with a tennis racket and

cabbage.

I'm still primarily a meat eater, although oddly enough since I started
low-carbing, I find I'm actually eating *more* veggies than I was before.

Me three.

I eat more vegetables than anyone else I know. *Real* veggies, too,
like broccoli, spinach, asparagus, etc. Not the fake veggies my
in-laws eat - corn, potatoes, baked beans, etc.

Jo Anne - making a fritatta for dinner tonight that contains about 5
cups of chopped up onions, peppers, spinach, and tomatoes.

Whereas I referred to a female in front of us on the travellator as a
lady yesterday (when I was telling the kids to keep away from her and
not push past) and she got all flustered in a happy way because it had
been so long since anyone had referred to her as a lady. I can never
think of a nicer way to put it, female sounds rude and so does woman.
I was brought up too well, I blame my mother.

Try a bit of steamed broccoli or asparagus in the fritatta some time.

I still think they're nuts. If they don't eat dessert and have a kitchen
*that* good, their prep time wouldn't be anything unnaturally long, and one
assumes the Flash Kitchen includes a dishwasher. Bizarre! Still, it's their
money...

I hate shopping -- or to be precise, I hate supermarkets. I like buying meat
and veg.

The problem with "Lady" is that it always reminds me of Ambrose Bierce: That

Oh OK. Then any meal of mine with meat will be 2-3 serves of green
and another 2 or so of non-green and any vege meal will be easy 5+
mostly green.

I have found eating vege and low fat high fibre is dead easy and
quick. Not to mention much easier to clean up after! Takes twice as
long to clean up after any meat.

Hmmmm...

That both confirms and contradicts what Chookie said AND what I said
(or remember to be what a dietician said 5 years ago).

Probably because it doesn't make sense.

Vegetables and legumes
One serve is equal to:
1 cup of salad, lettuce or vegetables
0.5 cup of other vegetables, e.g. capsicum, zucchini, lentils, tomato,
peas, mushrooms, spinach, broccoli.


It's equal to 1 cup of vegetables, and 0.5 cup of other vegetables?
Huh?

When I was single I had friends who ran an awesome tapas bar in Indy.
I ate there almost every night. I blew thousand there over the years,
as the food was incredible, and I was comped wonderous drinks and
desserts. I just figured I could afford it, I loved the food, so why
not?

They have since moved to Chicago and are on their second restaurant.
It's probably a good thing I don't live in Chicago...

I'm still wondering if a spud is a vegetable or an other vegetable.

Well bugger me! Amazing what one learns here. :-)

These "fritatta" things sounded interesting, so I googled for more
info and a possible recipe -- then discovered I've been making them
ever since my days in uni college decades ago! (Though I admit mine
are rather more scrambled than the recipes would suggest as I've only
ever cooked them in a fry or frying pan.


Cheers, Phred.

Nuts may be a little harsh but it seems ironic to me that two people who enjoy good
food and who have such a nice and well equipped kitchen would never use it. As far
as I know, the only people who have used that nice range are the caterers for their
parties.

That is one of the unpleasant chores they no longer have to deal with.

Some people want to have fancy kitchen for status, as a "decor"
statement, or just because they are "supposed to" if they have a nice
house.

<lol> It's nothing more than a glorified omelet, except the ingredients
are all mixed into the egg instead of "sandwiched". :-)

Or if baked instead of pan cooked like I do them, sort of a crustless
quiche.
