Sling style baby carriers work well, because some people will just think you have a broken arm.

It's possible that this line made the article for me.

I freeze fish in a bag full of water - it seems to stay fresher that way...but maybe that's just an old wives' tale?

Count calories. People say they're not all creatde equal, but really and truly, if it's about weight loss only - they are.

Find something active that you love that you can do daily for at least thirty minutes. Biking to and from work one summer increased my fitness so much that I eventually took up other activities and it kicked started my metabolism. I also felt less hungry.

What you eat is a huge component of weight loss and I don't discount it, but I also know I wouldn't have lost 80 pounds without the level of exercise that I was doing.

My mother always used Cointreau in her chocolate trifle, which is basically a layer of chocolate cake sprinkled with Cointreau, a layer of mousse, then whipped cream and chocolate shavings, repeated.

On weekends, I like to relish lunch or brunch with friends and good, solid food. Monday to Friday, though, I want something simple and make-ahead, but I've found salads to be tiring on that front. I've started making freezer burritos, with a different meat and vegetable each week. They're easy to reheat and delicious.

I'm so glad that Flour made your top five! It is absolutely my favourite...I'm going to have to look into Tender, me thinks.

This place had me won over...and then I saw that the quotes were from Phil Jenkins and that completely made it for me. My MA thesis was on LeBreton Flats, the area about which Jenkins writes.

The kitchen in our apartment was this colour, for the past three years. We moved out recently, but I have to say, there's something refreshing about all white walls and big windows, that our old place didn't have.

Hm. I've never had warm syrup. That's an odd idea to me.

That said, I also grew up eating peanut butter and lettuce sandwiches, and insist that my homefries be so hot that they cannot be reasonably consumed right away.

I think that this would be awesome! You could create savoury cookies as well (cheddar/thyme shortbreads; peanut butter bacon) and still have cocktails or other drinks that aren't milk based. I like milk just fine, but I don't know if I could drink only milk for an afternoon.
