If any of you family members are vegitarians, veggans,lactose intolerant ,diabetic or require special food please let me know sowe can meet your needs. Remember Dinner for Family members ( and band members! and the TAzette Dead Girls) will be served at 7:00 pm on Friday night at the scene of the crime...the HAUNTED HALL...2700 St. Joseph Ave We will have special grub for the kiddies and they will LOVE it!! What will we be eating?...I don't know if I should tell you or not!!

I'm on a strict, no calorie, feline diet........................it's called the Catkins diet, and all I'm allowed to eat is p......! TCE

Be plenty of that...after me you come first!!

***If** I can make it, I cant have sucralose (which is basically Splenda), or any other artificial sweeteners. I can have very little fish or seafood :( Hives :(

Saiyge...where ya been?...any progress on the wacom I sent?...Post office tell you anything?...I mean its insured and THEY smashed it so they should replace it right?...I haven't had time to go to my post office ...kinda waitin for word from you!!!

No, sucralose... As far as I knew it's indigestable... shouldn't affect anyone... just your diet or does it have possible side affects.

Sucralose was disovered in the late 1970s by chemists at Tate&lyle chemical co. at Kings College in London...the chemists were actually trying to develop a new safer insecticide and sucralose was discovered accidentally.( Figure THAT one out!) Sucralose is approximately 600 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) and is used in many products in todays market place including many non dietary food items. Approved by the FDA in the early 1980s as a safe foodstuff ( so yes Kaez it IS a digestible compound) Sucralose has been found to cause allergic reactions in a minute portion of users. No Saiyge there will be NO Sucralose in MY food!!!

I thought sucralose was indigestable because of the strength of it's chemical bonds(just as cellulose is) and hence 0 calories. Didn't know of any allergic reactions to it. I did some reasearch and found most individuals carry specific microbes that can break down minute amounts of it (most is still passed through the GI tract), so I see now where it may cause an allergic reaction. The amount broken down is why it is still considered a 0 calorie food. The reaction happens after break down. I know diabetics that use it. That's why I was curious. Thanks for the well informed comment TAZ.

Well informed?...SHIT!!...Its all Google baby!!...LOL!!!

Oh, so THAT'S why you're so smart........................... TCE

NO!...I am only as smart as Google allows me to be!!! I CHEAT!!!

Sucralose for me, makes my mouth go numb, has one nasty aftertaste, and will -lay me out- with one hell of a migraine for a day or so. I have similiar issues with nutrasweet and saccharine. My father is the same way, and I have a friend who also gets migraines from them. What sucks about this, is that these sweeteners are hidden in almost everything these days, without labeling. THAT and since March, I've gained 25 pounds. It would be nice to be able to have this stuff without any nasty reactions, would make alot of low cal stuff viable. Bleh. :) Taz, I sent you big email on the PO stuff. I called the main national help line on that, and they said I needed the receipt for the insurance (I'm thinking, WTF, the sticker is right on the box?!) Also need proof of cost, I found three sites including the main wacom site, that have consistent prices on it. I just need to print those out. I havent been able to get down to our po down here, and they arent answering the phone when I call. >.< I'll keep tryin, I know we need to hop on this asap. As for where I've been. I dont even really know, to be honest. I've been getting Kenny registered for Kindergarten, which starts on the 30th, been trying to find a before/after school program, been calling back and forth to different doctors, immunization programs etc to get him ready. Been playing alot of phone tag and not getting far. Also been trying to find a full time Day care program for Kenny for the time between now and school in hopes that I could start working. Trying to survive on just Floyds income has been .... difficult. Lots to worry about, our car is NOT happy. Sorry for bein' so scarce!

Hey sayige! Good to see your name again! TAz, i eat everything, except peas and tomatoes. Uh, i forget: should i start sitting in the marinade from now, or wait till september?

TAz, Oooooooooooooh, now I see why you wouldn't tell us what was on the main menu.........................we're gonna sacrifice RAS on a spit, aren't we!?! Shit man, I'm sure glad I like dark meat...............DOH!!! TCE

Saiyge...I will mail you the insurance receipt!!..Tomorrow!!

Don't let Tim worry ya Ras...we ain't gonna cook ya!!... WE ARE GONNA EAT YA RAW!!!!

Hmmm, I don't know about that,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,how's the marinade gonna taste without a little flame?

Thats what soldering irons are for Tim!! SIZZLE SIZZLE!!

Oooooookay.....................................he said he wanted some new tats. That's how they do 'em down there in Jamaica anyway, isn't it...................a little marinade and a soldering iron? I think that's what he told me....................Ras, we're gonna make you feel right at home! TAz, did you get that 95lb basting pan? TCE

I've put on weight - make it 96.5 pounds (and: what's that in kilos?). And sure, the tatt technology sounds fine. Just be certain the soldering iron is DOT approved, and the baste is sugar-free.

Do you have a temperature/relative humidity preference? For the barbeque, I mean!!

No, i'm cool... i mean IT'S cool. I mean... i'm flexible (but that's another story). As i am on the, er, wiry, side of things, slow-cooking is best, and may i say, i look pretty good breaded. Hmmm... Missouri-Fried Jamaican Jerk... now there's the future of farced food!

Sounds Cajun......................... in New Orleans, maybe.

I have an anal thermometer...do ya think that will work for cookin too?

I've tried them, but the mercury tastes awful. Especially used ones.

Good gravy, you three are sooooo bad.

I want the Veal Scallopine. ...I want the Fettucini Alfredo...a bottle of Fettucini, a 1981. ..... The only we serve is tongue!.

I'll have for a main dish....hmmmmm.... a Tazette...and for dessert...hmmmm a Tazette...and for something to wash it down....hmmmmm a Tazblaster!!!! M
