Rachel, whats with London?
I think you are a mederteranian woman in a Scottish land.

April, Listen to Anneke...This is good advice.
The sooner you learn to love "April" the happier and more content you will be

I usually resolve not to make any resolutions. I have been remakably successful at it too!
This year though, I was tempted to make a real resolution after a discussion in another thread about usless kitchen gadgets.
So my resolution is to clear out my kitchen of all the tools I haven't used and likely never will. (Too easy huh?)
Well, how about getting back to the gym after nearly a year off? Yeah, that's much harder. I don't think I'll ever see a 32" waist again. I will settle for a generally healthy body and less flab. (I'm a commute cyclist so the old ticker is in pretty good shape already.)
Happy New Year to all.

By the way, what's this I keep hearing about a Chef Talk powwow in Montreal? When is it and can anybody come or do you have to be invited?

Of course you're invited, Jock!! We settled on Montreal as a site shortly after the last gathering in October- maybe even before it ended, we were having so much fun! I don't have time to put in the link to that thread, but the invitation is open to Cafe members.

Thanks for the good advice... and I know, but knowing something is true and feeling like it is are two different things. I do appreciate the moral support though...:talk: Thanks again... ---april---

CC,
london is too big, too expensive and the pople are too unfriendly. Its full of foreigners which does make it very interesting in terms of shops for food - but they all quickly adopt this 'London' atittude of staring right past you. I did have a really good time, but once a year is plenty. next time I'll go to Amsterdam, Paris, Barcelona or Madrid instead

Kimmie: I would never have thought you to be quick-tempered but then that's just based on your posts.

April: I learned not to listen to what most people say to me about my weight or appearance. It did hurt lots when people would say I was getting fat and I would only be a size 6 for crying out loud. Then, I'd drop down to a size 2 and I'd be told by some people that I look absolutely ill. I realized then that I'd never be able to please everyone, so I should just please myself. I'm never going to be another one of those stick-thin size 0 Asian girls unless I completely starve myself. I love food too much for that and I like being curvy. It is more important to enjoy life and to be fit and healthy rather than listen to others or to a scale. Throw out your scales for the New Year! They are evil!

Jock the gathering is in late June, so you only have to wait about 6 months. Here's the link to that thread:

The original intent for my New Year's Res. was to get me back into shape... I used to do dance but since it's over and I'm still eating the same I've noticed I'm picking up a little flub which isn't really bad...(besides my boyfriend thinks it's cute.) trust me, I'm not one to live and die by a guy but it is nice knowing he loves me even if I'm not what I consider my best. I just want to be a little leaner... my mom and I are starting some fun work out videos to bond... it should be fun... ---april---

I forgot to say that I decided to go back to school. I want to learn american history ( it's smaller than greek history :D) and languages.
I realy want to do this. It's difficult to start reading if you are not used to it. The year that passed I made myself reading for half an hour before going to bed. Now I can read with out distraction for 3-4- hours. I don't care if you laught at me but the only thing I was reading was the "how to use" labels on bottles and boxes.
I read this posts about looks and shape and I deicded to tell you what I think to April mostly because the rest of you are old enought to know.
Don't think that I criticise myself.
April. If you ever come to NYC ask to see my sister Athenaeus and me. We will have fun anyway, I will show you some special things that have to do with fashion ;)
We are identical twins we are both in shape and small sizes. You will have two identical people to compare.I hope that before you leave you will remember to say bye to me. Most people forget that I am there too although at your age or a year older 17-18 I participated in a large international campaign of Revlon " the most unforgettable women in the wold".Of course I would do the same things If I were 17.
;)
