obligated to make a pot of steamed rice to go with dinner at least
twice a week. Which, of course, I cannot resist digging into myself.

I will tell you that even now, as a backslider, I cannot tolerate corn
or rice without my body aching all over and my head starting to pound.
Wheat and sugar I crave and they do bad things to me, but not that same
immediate physical response of corn and rice.

And no veggies? Ye gods! No grains, no beans, no veggies, no
fruits--that's like 95% of my diet!

What ever happened to your caveman diet? Didn't that include fruits and
grains? I think the key to that was that you were supposed to strive for
raw--cooking is actually what makes foods toxic.

Grains do not inhabit that sherpis. (I crack
myself up.)

Oh, you don't keep a rice cooker on your counter at all times?
genuinely surprised

Rice cooker is not on the counter but it does have its own shrine-like
cabinet near the stove... I'm waiting for it to die so I can get a
souped-up digital, fuzzy logic rice cooker. I've been waiting for 10
years and this one keeps going and going and going...

I don't have any bad reactions to any food but I get easily caught in
a salt/sweet cycle that just spirals out of control.

Chip chaser....

1. You have an appliance garage for the rice cooker? Brilliant! (I have
too little counter space to sacrifice any for such a thing.)

2. Tostitos Lime tortilla chips with a can of Fritos bean dip is a
meal. You can still have the chocolate for dessert (which you apparently
prefer to eat in reverse), but I can't say it's ever occurred to me to
crave those items as a package deal. . .

1. An appliance garage- that's rich... sorry, just a regular kitchen
cabinet! For some strange reason, I just haven't shoved it full of
999 other things, so it seems shrine-like to me.

2. Fritos bean dip + my digestive system= my family locks me out of
the house.

1. Still admirable. I can't imagine having free space, period.

We have lived in this house for about 4 years and I still have problems
with FINDING stuff to fill up all my cabinets. We are building a new
house
and I am going to have even more cabinets in my kitchen with the pull out
drawers, cutlery top slide-out thing, island with cabients, etc. and I am
wondering what I can buy to fill up all the cabinets.

I wish I had that problem! Limited storage space does keep me from
buying too much stuff that I don't really need. I think I would find
room for a purple Dyson though ... :-)

Our apartment and even our first house had very little cabinet space and
very little storage. We built this house and got rushed and had to cut
the
garage off so....lots of cabinets but nowhere to put the other stuff. The
house we are building now doesn't have a lot of closets or really huge
closets but I have a whole laundry room that is really big, garage with a
raised trus system so we can put storage in the top as well, storage in
the
eaves upstairs, etc. We met with the cabinet company who designed me a
really nice laundry room with countertop, bar for hanging clothes, fold
out
ironing board. She even made sure the countertop part was high enough so
I
could slide my vacuum cleaner and carpet shampooer under it. The cabinet
designer was fantastic and my office is going to be so nice. I can hardly
wait. I am not going to know what to do with all that storage space AND a
garage! LOL. Now I want a new car to put in it.

That sounds great! My old house had a laundry/storage room and it was
very handy. I used to do all my gift wrapping in there too, just shut
the door and no peeking little eyes
