I am so bummed. Now they can't deliver my treadmill til friday. That is their last chance before I cancel my order. Tried to talk to store manager that sold it to me but she is gone today. I still might call her tomorrow. I think it is rediculous that it will be almost 3 weeks that I bought it and can't use it. So disappointed.

suziemva, hate to sound stupid but what do turnips taste like? I never tried them. I am not an adventurous eater so there are lots of things I have never tried but am willing to. tried roasted cauliflower with garlic last week but no one liked it. Is it like potatoes?

Not stupid at all! The only reason I know what they taste like is that I got tired of the same vegetables and decided to be adventurous! I have a hard time eating the same thing all the time and like to change it up. Guess this is why I LOVE buffets so much!!! Get to try a little bit of everything!

Anyway, it's kind of a cross between a potato and cauliflower (that's what I think!). Quite an "earthy" taste. I don't like it just by itself, always have to add other flavors, but they are good. My kids like them enough, too, so I have no issue with prepping them a bit more than I do with regular food. I boil them like with potatoes, mash them, add a bit of chicken stock, pepper and garlic. If I still think they have a strong flavor (sometimes they do) I add FF or lite ranch. You have to be careful cause sometimes they have a lot of water and can become runny. The only way I've found to thicken them is with adding powdered milk or (gasp!) potato flakes.....I just try to be careful that I don't add too much liquid that they become runny.

I do have a very eclectic taste and am willing to try just about anything. This is how I found that I really like sushi and smoked eel! Yes, I'm a bit of a strange cookie but it's fun trying new things!!!

That just STINKS! I would definitely call and complain! Did they charge delivery? I would at least ask to be refunded that money!

I hope you get it soon. I know it's not really nice outside to walk but maybe you can walk stairs in your house or something in the mean time? I used to do "marches" in front of the tv making my knees come high enough to my hands that I held out at waist height. Does great things for your hamstrings and gluts/butt. DH says they are called high steps...gotta be technical, I guess! (lucky me....sports medicine guy for a hubby....can you hear my sarcasm.....)

Way too go Michellebriana, suziemva and Midwset Cruiser!!!! You all did great!

Going to try to bake tilapia tonight. I have never fixed it before. Any good ideas or tips? I suppose if I don't like it there is always salad. Floyd usually eats my experiments in cooking without complaining(except the cauliflower last week). I am serving it with salad and maybe mixed veggies for DH.

Tilapia cooks very quick. It is a really light fish very much like flounder. I make it many ways. You can pan grill it or bake it in the oven. It is great with just a little butter salt and lemon juice!!If you like spicy you could cover it in a cajun seasoning and bake it . I love to serve it with spinach that I cooked with garlic and oil.

 

[shrpgrl]

Thanks for the tips

 

[suziemva]

Tilapia is a great fish that picks up whatever flavor you put on it. Lemon pepper is great, cajun, Emerils seasoning and Mrs. Dash are great ones that I've tried! LOVE tilapia!!! And with wilted spinach, it's wonderful!

So, what time's dinner?????

 

[suziemva]

Did 2 miles on the treadmill again. Feeling good but need to jump in the shower....just gotta get a bit of lite cleaning done first.

Veggie burgers and sweet potato fries tonight! YUMMO!! I'm gonna make coconut/pineapple yogurt drinks tonight for dessert! Finally found a flavoring that I like - it's actually a drink style flavoring.

Ladies, thanks so much for all the support. You guys are great!
