hemp seeds are packed with protein, rich in omega 3 and 6. They make a good thickener in smoothies and adds a nice nutty taste as well.

i think i want a float version - i used to make this with a scoop of chocolate ice cream and club soda. in the end, it may taste very similar.

I like to poach an egg while I'm cooking the noodles. Sometimes I will add veggies on the side to make it a meal. Depending on the brand of noodles you buy, there are unfried noodle options available in Asian markets.

If you go to a Hong Kong cafe, common breakfast is fried egg, spam w/ ramen. =)

ikea shipping is by weight eg. under 500lbs, over 500lbs etc. It's worth while if you have multiple large items or pool together the purchase w/ some friends to make the shipping worth while. shipping may be similar for a $200 purchase and a $2000 purchase but all depending on the weight.

@jennifr1966 - i only have a blender and i've made the banana soft serve before. Slice the bananas to freeze, blend w/ yogurt and a bit honey. I would think this would be possible as @wvlinz suggests in a similar way. I'm definitely giving it a try w/ the 3 ripe peaches i have now.

i just made apple /peach crisp on the weekend - it had been a while since i last made it but was so easy that i have to make it more often. With all the summer fruits, it's a perfect summer dessert.

Asian here - 100%. And yes, with the asian flush. it takes me about half a drink before i start feeling warm and i will look very red. people would tell me i have 'good circulation'.
i have noticed it being less severe now, but before it would feel i have a throbbing face, with chest and arms pink as well. i've learned to drink slow, with food and only in moderation; this seems to work for me so far.


Asian Flush: Why I Turn Red When I Drink Alcohol

I think these will fall under convenience or laziness...

People changing their mind on frozen / chilled goods and leaving it on a random shelf. If not buying, please put it back. Don't spoil perfectly good food which all customers pay for in the end.

People parking shopping carts behind other vehicles! It's really not that far to put it back in the coral. My car has been dinged by people leaving them behind.

i've never tried the glasses but i use "flux" at home. It adjusts the screen to the time of day so the screen is never too bright in the evenings that it will interfere will sleep.
I also find it's softer on the eyes as the color is warmer. It will be weird in the beginning but i hardly notice it now.

i tried it this winter when i was visiting Hong Kong. This was street food sold in little paper bags. They were baked with a bit of salt. The yolk to white ratio is definitely more yolk, and the whites had a little more bite to them. They were very good! Warm bite sized snack.

black teas and dark roasted teas should be ok for baking and drinking when it gets older, but lighter roast or unroasted teas such as green teas may have already lost their flavor.
