This looks like a great idea, for the parents anyway. People who can't come to the shower send in their advice to the new parents and those attending the party can write their personal message on a notecard. Might be a fun thing to read at the even, too, instead of the usual, "Oh, look at such and such gift."

Beets, if you like them, are naturally high in iron. And I tend to notice that I'm low in iron if I start bruising easily all of a sudden. And again on the thumbs up on the Vitamin C (I do chewables) with the iron foods or supplement you're having. If you're anemic, you need more than the typical 18mg, and some iron (ferrous sulfate, ferrous feromate?, etc...you have to ask your Dr.) are better for you than others. Seafood and of course meat and liver. If you make liver into a pate-you can just have a little bit on toast and it's delicious.

Counting out loud and keep saying it in my head over and over until the person stops talking, and not letting anyone talk to me until I've put in all the amount for that particular ingredient, or put it all back if it's not mixed with other things already and start again.

I've gone through my blueberry vinegar, champagne and rice wine vinegars, more than any of the other staples I have on hand. Well, blueberry vinegar, wasn't really a staple when I first bought it but now it is and I either have to make some or order some soon because I feel deprived!!!! ; )

This is one of my favorites to make in the winter:

What I won't eat out: chicken or salmon or not rare to find fish; pasta unless it's restaurant made and truly interesting toppings, and any type of standard salad. What I love ordering: sushi, game meat, duck, lamb (although I make the latter a lot), anything Asian or Thai, because even though I have a lot of the ingredients, don't feel like it's 2nd nature yet. At breakfast, oatmeal is always a no, but omelettes or yoghurt is still a go.

Cold wet knife, cut off the ends first, rewet the knife with cold water. If that doesn't work, goggles. (I love mine!)

Yes, please answer gas question if you're not soaking them overnight and oven or slow cooker instead. Thanks!

Marcel is an a-le on a 1st class level. However, had it been a woman who was harassed by a bunch of men, those people would have been kicked off the show. Violence in real life and on a reality show is unacceptable and Colicchio should have thrown off both the guy filming (the guy who won) and the one who was forcing Marcel down.

And yeh, I'm glad that Fabio called him out on it, too. Seriously, what do you expect, they're going to ask questions that are most provocative, so don't come on the show if you don't want to talk about it, but you know, in the end, whether he answers or not, it's all drama and entertainment for us. This is where the show loses me.
