Thank you everyone for all the love and support. I managed to record another blog entry as I felt it would be fitting to include one discussing how sick I feel. And btw, I woke up feeling like a mac truck ran me over last night this morning. So it seems like this will last longer than I wanted it to as the fever was coming back last night and I feel horrendous this morning.... AACHK

VeganJoe, the only thing on my agenda today is to get to the steam and sauna and sweat this out; thanks for the advice!!!!

Vegan Josh, not sure, perhaps I need to speak louder or have less background noise. It is my camera and I am not in the market to buy another one at the moment.

VivalasVegans and DV, welcome to Portland, where's there's 2 1/2 feet of snow and plenty of flu to go around for your welcoming, eh? :roll:

DV, yeh i'm glad I didn't come over as well!

EmilyRobin, thank you for your well wishes....

Amy, send the pants over ! .... -pants siren

Zack, i'd expect nothing less from a brat >:) Tasha thanks for fighting him off!!!

Sprouted kidney beans are supposedly poisonous:

Quote:

Red kidney beans: Incidents of food poisoning have been reported associated with the consumption of raw or undercooked red kidney beans. Symptoms may develop after eating only four raw beans and include nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain followed by diarrhoea. A naturally occurring haemaglutin is responsible for the illness, but can be destroyed by high temperature cooking, making the beans completely safe to eat. For this reason, kidney beans must not be sprouted. Kidney beans should be soaked for at least 8 hours in enough cold water to keep them covered. After soaking, drain and rinse the beans, discarding the soaking water. Put them into a pan with cold water to cover and bring to the boil. The beans must now boil for 10 minutes to destroy the toxin. After this the beans should be simmered until cooked (approximately 45-60 minutes) and they should have an even creamy texture throughout - if the centre is still hard and white, they require longer cooking.

From Vegsoc
Potter said he ate them sprouted, but then again he ate just about anything

I have been out of the loop on this forum for awhile. You are looking good, man! Hope you get well soon.

Cubby, you and me both!!!! Right now I have been looking for steady work which keeps me from my preferred recreational activities on the internet, such as purusing around VBBF!

OFFENSE!!! Thank yo for the advice, I am not going to consume the kidney beans, instead I am going with mung beans. I didn't get a chance to speak about that in this video or the next one that I will post in a couple of hours but I will. Your advice really helped, who knows what could have happened eventually.

So from now on, I think it would be cool to respond to any posts on the video blog, I am going to try and stick to that to give it a more life like personal effect/touch. Yes?

03_Still Sick! (01/06/09)

I am uploading a video from yesterday (01/07/09) right now that gives everyone a detailed macronutrient breakdown of my diet as well and it's kind of funny as I am being antagonized by the filmmaker (gf/thendanisays)

And btw, not better yet, woke up with a massive headache, and my sinuses are still significantly clogged up, ughhhh....

Hey LG Buddy

I just wanted to apologize for not being as talkative last night.
I was in the middle of sorting some things out with another dear friend of mine to the rescue.
I wonder what life would be like without having family and true friends, when you're in need

Thanks for being one of them.

:iloveu2:

Oh another note, I didn't go to the gym yesterday. I Hope to go with RC later on. Perhaps you can come if you can. I would love to work out with you.
Pictionary later this week too ? Sounds like so much !!!
YB!!!!

Yeah........................Buddy!

Hey, when it hits 12 weeks, I want Me, You and Jimi to start NEW logs just for this contest...I think it will be cool....we can still post things in our main logs too. I just think having NEW ones...that are like....OK, this is it....we have JUST 12 weeks to show what we've got type of logs filled with you tube stuff, photos, nutrition logs, training logs, etc. would rock!

See you soon....buddy!
