While looking for 'People Chow' I found this....

15 years ago

I get so darn tired of trying to find the right things to eat on a daily basis. No fat, low fat, the RIGHT fats etc etc.

Then I struggle with variety once I found something that is supposed to be good for you to eat.

Then I realize we need to eat a complete well balanced menu all the time.

For YEARS I have been looking to see if someone has yet made some form of people chow that meets all the good health criteria and nothing has been found.

I know there are bags of food dropped to starving countries, that allows the people to thrive in the absence of normal food, so WHY cant WE have this too? I know it would get boring etc etc BUT if you look at many of the foods we can buy today, all are not ideal. Trans fats, ingredients that cant even be pronounced, on and on and onnnnnnnnn.

I have always had this urge to try some form of complete healthy people chow, till I saw this. Click the link below and watch this guy. After each video, hit BACK and read the next days info and then hit the link that says the next days report. I had tears in my eyes from laughter and appreciate what he has done. Maybe I couldnt make it on people chow, but always wanted to JUST to make life healthier, easier and better.

What do you guys think?

Okay Tony... is Marybeth out of town or something ?
Do you want me to come over with a cold wet washcloth for your forehead and a bowl of soup ?
Ill play Florence Nightingale

:)

Having had trouble with my weight ever since I had my " hysterical rectomy " a few years back , I can understand
how nice it would be just to eat for subsistence.... not for food cravings.

I think that is why some women , in order to lose weight , they start skipping meals........

And it is terrible to finish a nice nutritious meal , only to want to put something sweet in your mouth afterwards. EVEN IF YOUR FULL :(

Gotta go now...must start my metamucil and vitamin diet.

LOL D`Ann

Morning Florence Nightingale

She WILL be out of town in about 2 weeks. Perhaps I am looking for meal alternatives? Naw..... I do alot of the cooking anyways, so its not that.

I just need or want(ed) a break from searching out partially hydrogenated, or MSG which gives ME a headache etc etc.

There should be laws against food being sold that have harmful ingredients. The law would assure we can eat things off the shelf so to speak that wont clog your pipes, rot your guts etc etc.

I see laws being enacted now in Los Angeles where the restaurants are now (or will be ) prohibited from using transfats.... maybe because of the news of this law, NOT MB being out of town that caused my search for People Chow again.

I thought the youtube vids this fella posted were funny. I kinda expected him to perhaps be wearing a costume on the last vid. I was truly hoping he was on to something.

Come on over anytime leave the monkey chow behind though.

Chelone, the cat's name is Lily, sister (in spirit) to Tiger, an orange male and the coolest cat who ever walked the face of the earth. Lily is more normal cat, Tiger thinks he is a person. He knows more people in the neighborhood than I do, and frequents most of their homes. There is also a third orange long-hair named Molly. Orange cats have the best temperaments IME. Thanks for the compliments - - it's nice to hear after all that sweat I invested! All of the materials used were found on my property except for the stone dust, which I got at a discount through a friend. I have to say right now I actually love the look of the walkway, while I think the patio is just "ok". I do prefer the irregular stones, impractical as they may be. The patio stones are a bit out of line since I was just eyeballing them and then I had friends come in to help finish who weren't as picky as me! As for Poor Martha (as she has come to be known in the neighborhood), my next step if the town historian doesn't call back and take over is to go to the Bureau of Vital Statistics (I think that's what it's called) in Hartford and search for that date of death. If there is a Martha, well, Bingo. If not, and there are one or two other people with that DOD, I can check which cemetery they were buried in and see if they have stones (and whether they are replacement stones). If there is no match that way, I might be out of luck because that means the stone was not local. In that case I would just beg the historical society or a cemetery to take it. The woman from the Connecticut Gravestone Network also said she can search ancestors.com because she has a membership. So we'll see if she comes up with anything. For now Poor Martha has been moved to the patio, where I'm sure she's doing a great job of freaking out the mailman when he walks up to my house everyday. Hopefully he has figured out that she was unearthed during the walkway reno!

Jim,never too late to add in inspiration photos. Love them all, it is cool that even if I may not be doing a decorating style that may be pictured I always find something that I learn from in the photo to be able to apply to my needs. Love the first photo with all the shell accents. The second shot was wonderfully cozy, of course there is red in it so its a given that I will be attracted to those kinds of rooms. I also love... well like I said, they are all great, you have a wonderful eye for having inspiration photos that are great to look and learn from. Thanks as always for sharing!

Any History Found While Remodeling?

In our turn of the century house, we found a 1902 penny in a bedroom wall. We also found a newspaper clipping from I think the 1980's inside the wall of a shoddy addition to the kitchen. In the attic we found a mailer tube with curtain rods the homeowner had ordered from Sears -- I forget what year it was but the postage on it was something like 5 cents. But the real gem we have is a book that a local gave to us. The original homeowner (the wife) -- her dad had given her mom a book before they were ever married - the inscription is dated 1877 -- the book has come full circle back to this house. We also have another book that belonged to the original homeowner -- it's a dictionary, but she tucked some clippings into it and jotted down birthdates inside the back cover and made other random notes in it. They are both gems to have and it's neat that they came back to this house in a very random manner. Someone gave us a box of old books because we turned one of the rooms into a library. It was just random luck of the draw that two of those books had ties to this house. It was meant to be.

No pics yet because nothing's been able to be "redone". Still plywood subfloors, no appliances, and a ripped out bathroom. I realized yesterday that the refinished floor has areas that are duller than others, so now I need to get the guy back to recoat. It didn't show up until the floor was fully dry and starting to "cure" but it's very noticeable. :-( The entire finished basement has to be ripped out (walls, ceiling and all insulation) and the floor and all the framing disinfected. Environmental companies don't do this and not many pest control ones do either. I've gotten estimates ranging from $4400 to $9600 for the same job. It involves guys wearing chemical suits, respirators, extractor fans, disinfectant spray, the whole 9 yards. The neighbors will no doubt be appalled at the goings on. Then I have to get an electrician in to examine the visible wiring for damage. I'm sure there will be some. Haven't been able to address the garage floor issue because the old refrigerator is sitting there waiting for my son to arrange to remove it, which apparantly is a more complicated scenario than hosting the Olympic Games. Nobody rents a truck with a power liftgate, nobody we know has a trailer hitch for one of those tow-behind things, and none of his friends have time to assist. When the rest of the house gets painted, the walls will be sealed with BIN first. I realized that the garage floor is actuallly painted (the grey stuff) so I may be lucky and perhaps a good scrubbing with Mex will help. (TSP isn't allowed to be sold in our state) I have to say, the rodent stink is just as bad as the dog smell. Different but equally disgusting. This has been a huge financial sinkhole. What should have been no more than $35K in renovations has already surpassed $65K that in outlay to date, and there is still another $40K committed to (and necessary) but not yet done and paid for. In the end this house will have cost me $100K more than its selling price and neither the house itself nor the area justifies that number. I could have bought any of a number of houses listed at that level over the past 3 years which would have gotten me more square footage as well. And fewer problems!

That was so funny! He had me laughing about how his poop smelled like Monkey Food!
You know Racheal Ray is putting out a dog treat that she cooks her self. Wonder if that would be any better? LOL

Wanda,

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!

That guy was PERFECT, his looks and voice....

Did you see at the very end I guess it is, the monkey chow guy had an eBAY ad to sell off the remaining stuff.

I STILL AM looking for some type of people chow, I know its out there somewhere.

Thanks Tony!
I was laughing at every bit of this and enjoyed the videos.
Then the same day my brother (also 'Tony') sent me this story:

Yesterday I was at Wal-Mart buying a large bag of Purina dog chow for my loyal pet, "Sheriff the Wonder Dog." I was in the checkout line when woman behind me asked if I had a dog. What did she think I had, an elephant? So, since I'm retired and have little to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Purina nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again (I have to mention here that practically everyone in line was now enthralled with my story.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her, "No, I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's butt and a car hit us both."

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard. Wal-Mart won't let me shop there anymore.

Kate (still laughing)
