> AO : When I see people having weird tastes, I say they have phantom pregnancy XD  I knew a guy who used to make spaghetti sandwiches

About Skittle's coffee, I think she takes it cold, that reminds me Tim Hortons's iced cappuccino

By the way, just a piece of black forest cake.

A piece of black forest cake coming right up:



Spaghetti Sandwiches?  :shock:  like did he just make spaghetti then get bread and put the spaghetti between it?

Wow, this piece looks very delicious ! *should eat it right away, I have to calm down from tomorrow (wednesday) now that Easter has passed*

This guy is a friend of my brother and he lived one year with us when he was at high school because his mom's home was too far (1h30 by car) from the school.  When we were cooking spaghetti, he used to put spaghetti between two bread slices.  Yes that's weird

Was it hot, or cold? I find it hard to drink hot things with a straw...  :arrow:  better to bring the bowl straight to the mouth and drink it down... of course it spills down and makes a real mess

It was cold of course.  Way more cold things than hot things.  It was fantastic and I am really thinking about having another one.  lol  I am currently fighting a sleep attack from my narcolepsy right now, so maybe it will help.  But I doubt it, coffee is never strong enough for people with narcolepsy.  Hmm I recall saying that already somewhere.  I hope it wasn't  here in my last post.  hehehe  It's like one of those Desha vu things (yeah I am sure I spelled it wrong).

Once last year I tried to make apple juice... of course I had no idea what I was doing, I chopped up 4 apples, added apple juice then mixed it in the blender  :x it tasted revolting! Of course there was no added sugar in it, maybe I should just pour a whole cup of sugar or salt in next time  :? but that would make it really sugary and disgusting.

Not to mention it takes tons and tons of apples just to get anything out of it.  Especially when making apple sauce.  But I think that you are supposed to cook it first, so that it breaks down better, but I don't know for sure.

I have made and still do regularly, fresh fruit smoothies.  I love them, and no sugar added!

I use one of those hand blenders.  Well depends on what you call a hand blender.  Here they are all mixed up in Sweden of what they mean when they say blender, hand blender, mixer, etc.  The thing I am talking about is a long slender thing, that has a metal propeller thing at the end, that will mix up just about anything.

It came with this like tall plastic container to mix things up in.  Like a mini pitcher.  Anyway, I will usually cut up an apple (sometimes peeled sometimes not), sometimes cut up a kiwi but not too often, break up a banana, cut up a pear, sometimes add pineapple either fresh or canned crushed, basically whatever i might have on hand.  And I ALWAYS add some frozen strawberries.  And sometimes frozen red rasberries which I tend to leave out, because of too many seeds.  If I don't have any frozen berries I would have to add some ice cubes to make it cold.

Then I pour in a lil pineapple juice if I have any, sometimes I put in apricot or peach nectar if I have it, but again, not very much.  Then I pour in some Orange Juice.  I add enough fluid to just barely or almost cover the fruit.

Then I mix it all up!!!  YUM!!!  The main thing you will always taste is the strawberry.  It is such a strong flavored fruit.  Just mix and match fruits.  Whatever you have.  It needs no sugar at all.

It really fantastic!!  And healthy!

When me and my sister get McDonalds, we like to remove the lid off the thickshake container and dip in our chips into the chocolate thickshake and eat it...
I know I am weird and eat weird things, but hey, thats me  

LOL I did that all the time when I was a teen!!  I still would do it with my kids when they learned of doing that.  I had almost forgot about dipping french fries in vanilla or chocolate shakes until my kids did it.

Oh and I am the queen of eating weird things, which is really funny.  Because I am a very very picky eater!!

My thing was always mustard!  And dill pickles.  But mainly mustard!  Not brown mustard, I am talking that bright yellow vinegary type mustard.  Or even Honey Mustard which I used to make or get at this special restaurant that had it.

I put mustard on everything.  I used to just bring a mustard sandwich to school for lunch when I was a kid.  And sometimes with sliced dill pickles on it.

I did this all thru my teenage years!  I put it on EVERYTHING.  I think it was just because I could tolerate mustard and it would gross everyone out, and that was fun.

Amazingly enough it was pretty good on Chocolate cake!!!  Shocking!  But it is NOT...I repeat NOT good on apple sauce or this brand of packaged dry soup mix called Lipton Noodle Soup they offered in the USA.  Ick!  But I think that was honey mustard I was putting that to.

Oh speaking of the french fries!  They are GREAT with Honey Mustard.

To make honey mustard you just mix up the bright yellow mustard such as French's brand.  And some mayonnaise, and of course honey.  Just mix it until its to your liking.  It is fantastic stuff.  Great for dipping chicken too!!

I wonder if next year they will make sausage flavoured icecream... oh god that makes me want to puke just thinking of the idea...

P.S, what type of cake would you like? We have vanilla, black forest, sponge, chocolate, mud, butterscotch, caramel, strawberry...

LOL LOL LOL  Sausage ice cream!!!  If it were in Sweden I think it would be Fish Egg flavored Ice Cream!  lol  They eat caviar (not the black expensive stuff) that comes in what looks like a toothpaste tube) lol all the time!  ICK

I will take a piece of Vanilla cake one of my absolute favorites, chocolate, mud, butterscotch because I have never had that kind, carmel and strawberry!  Hmmm that pretty much covers all of them.  Okay okay you've convinced me!  I will eat a small piece of all of them.  And then a large piece of my favorite.

Speaking of cake and weird foods.  Once me and my friend convinced my husband, the Swede who is blue eyed and blond and very gullible, that the white cake with lil colored confetti candy that we were making was really Peanut Butter Tofu cake.  He believed us and didn't eat any of it! hahahaha

Here is Sweden I think EVERYONE adds ketchup to their spaghetti!!  I just don't get it!  It's already made with tomatoes, so what's the point??

When he came to the USA when we got married, I always took it as an insult.  I thought my spaghetti was just not good enough!  I thought it wasn't saucy enough.  So I did all kinds of changes.  Different brands of sauce, more chunky, less chunky, etc etc etc.  But he ALWAYS added ketchup!!!

I didn't know what else to do!  When I came here to Sweden I found it is a Swedish thing, because they all do it!!!

Now I have to make my own homemade spaghetti from scratch, because they really don't have the jarred stuff here in Sweden.  But now I learned how to do it, and it is a killer sauce!  And it has a lil kick! hehehe

I just love it, and finally after I realize that it is a Swedish thing to put the ketchup on the spaghetti, a couple of times my husband said it was sooo good that he didn't even want to change it slightly.  woohooo!  At last!

My mom uses to put cups of concentrate tomato and tomato juice instead of tomato sauce only.  I've never got it but it's like that and it's really good. The fact is ; I've never put it between two breads to eat it...  

Skittles-
I have never understood that either why people add tomato sauce to spaghetti.... it just is weird IMHO, because it already has tomato in it...  :wink:  people don't tend to do that here.

maëlstrom_19- My mum used to really really annoy my brother when he was making spaghetti mince, as she would just plop a couple of carrots and broccoli in to make it healthy...  now that I think about it, I can't actually recall what my brother adds to it to make it tomato... perhaps he adds real tomatoes.. hmm... I never eat spaghetti much...

:oops:

Ugh I have a massive headache at the moment from eye strain from the computer from typing and doing assignments. Modern History is a big big pain in terms of the amount of work to do...

Oh and this morning I woke up and it was extremely freezing so now I have a cold..

Oh I hear you about the eye strain.  I have spend hours in front of this computer at the SF.  I already have blurred vision, and now, I can't hardly see anything.  lol  I had to increase my view over and over again, so I could see.  lol

The reason you have blurred vision from the support forum is you are stareing at the screen try to understand what people are saying.

Bad enough we got those french folks    there but you have folks from other countries try to speak english but cant-not thier fault but it gets to be fustrating at times.

Have any of you guys heard about this?

It's a miracle, pregnant man tells Oprah

A transgender man who is six months pregnant said in an interview aired by Oprah Winfrey that he always wanted to have a child and considers it a miracle.

"It's not a male or female desire to have a child. It's a human desire," a thinly bearded Thomas Beatie said.

"I have a very stable male identity," he added, saying that pregnancy neither defines him nor makes him feel feminine.

Beatie, 34, who lives in the US state of Oregon, was born a woman but decided to become a man 10 years ago.

He began taking testosterone treatments and had breast surgery to remove glands and flatten his chest.

"I opted not to do anything with my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day," he told the talk show host.

Beatie's wife Nancy said she inseminated him with a syringe using sperm purchased from a bank.

Now, he said, his size 32 jeans are getting a bit tight and his shirts are a bit stretched.

Nancy, to whom he has been married for five years and who has two grown daughters by a previous marriage, also appeared on the show, saying the couple's roles will not change once the baby is born.

"He's going to be the father and I'm going to be the mother," she said. Their marriage is legal and he is recognised under state law as a man.

The couple was shown on video provided by People Magazine, which collaborated with Winfrey on the show, showing the room that will be the baby's nursery.

Beatie said the little girl was going to be "daddy's little princess."

The couple was also filmed in their hometown of Bend, Oregon, where he underwent an ultrasound showing the baby in his womb.

"I can't believe it. I can't believe she's inside me," Beatie said while watching the ultrasound image.

"We see her as our little miracle."

His obstetrician, Dr Kimberly James, who practices in the Oregon town, told Winfrey, "This is a normal pregnancy."

She said Beatie stopped taking testosterone two years ago and his levels of the hormone are normal.

"This baby is totally healthy," she said.

"This is what I consider a normal pregnancy."

The couple said they had been turned down by a number of other doctors before James agreed to take him as a patient.

The couple said an earlier attempt at pregnancy failed when he developed a ectopic pregnancy, resulting in surgery that removed his Fallopian tubes.

The couple said they decided to go public with the pregnancy because they wanted to control the way the news got out.

"We're just going to have the baby now," Nancy said.

"If we have to, we'll go hide."

The couple runs a small business in Bend and has some savings, she said.

In addition, Beatie is working on a book about his childhood, his mother's suicide and his life growing in Hawaii where, as a girl, he was a teen beauty pageant contestant and earned a martial arts black belt.

Winfrey called the development "a new definition of what diversity means for everybody."

Its been all over the news everywhere, quite frankly, I don't see what all the fuss is about.

He was born a woman, found he was more manly so had testosterone injections and had his breasts removed (but his female bits are still down there) and recently got pregnant. It is not a man giving birth, it is a woman who turned into a half-man still with woman bits giving the baby.



What do you all think?

That is soooo very very true.  I was reading and rereading one last night and just could not make sense of it, but thankfully Sunny answered so I didn't have to bother anymore. lol

Wow, I have not heard this story. Thanx for sharing it with us. That's very interesting. I hope all goes well for them with this new baby. Bringing a new baby into the world is a joyous moment for any couple What I find sad is that in this world we live in, some people not many accept such diversity and are extremely judgmental about couples like this. In this day and age, I think it's wonderful news and I hope someday the rest of the world will find acceptance in frowned upon , labeled relationships of such nature. Hmm, I wonder if this is the 1st transgender couple to become pregnant like this. Because it really is a miracle. I'm gonna research it on google.

It's wrong wrong wrong >.<

It's good for him,bt for me it's too big a mind fuck to swallow

Wow a lot has happened here lately!
Our school made the front page of QLD's most popular newspaper for 4 days straight last week because they banned gay couples from taking their partners to the senior formal, and heaps of people had different opinions and it all ended up in one big religion vs homosexuality debate!! So at the end of last week the topic died down a bit but on monday we began school again and in the morning part of the school was shut off because they found a note threatening the school and a bag containing white powder next to it, and that is believed to be related to the gay issue. So all these ambulances, natural hazards and disaster firetrucks and police came and interviewed various people, then a news crew from channel 9 came and filmed stuff (it made the TV that night). And not to mention there was a rumour floating around that the bag contained Anthrax! I am pretty sure it didn't though...

And then today on my way home through the city (I need to go into the city from school to take a connecting bus home) 2 city blocks were shut off because an underground gas pipe was broken during the construction of a skyscraper...
