Ask Umpa / Flan
« on: August 20, 2010, 01:40:18 PM »
Umpa, forgive me if I am overwhelming you.. I guess its obvious I am a newbie plus my lunch time is the only real time I get to do this..

So, I am Cuban and one of our all time favorite is Flan.  As you will discover, the caramel is what makes it. Do you think this is one of those impossible recipes?

BTW: you're heaven sent for sure!!!!!

You and Doug deserve national recognition for sure...  Let me tell you that you guys should work on a good tasty healthy school menu and present it to the school boards.. It surely would help with children obesity...

Ask Umpa / Thanksgiving
« on: August 20, 2010, 01:03:31 PM »
Hi Umpa,

So I was thinking that since Thanksgiving is around the corner, you may be willing to give us replacement ideas for those delicious traditional dishes.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and every year I cook with such pleasure and my family eats with such pleasure. I want them to enjoy again thsi year but in a tasteful and super healthy way..

Are you gamed for that?   :) ;) :D ;D ::) :P

Anyone else a sushi lover?

Hello everyone. My name is Alex and I am a newbie. I just bought the cookbook and I am waiting for my book to arrive. I have struggled most of life with weight and its just really frustrating. My husband loves me for me, but I need to make the change for health reasons and because I do want to look better.
Ive heard and read good things about this program and so here I am.. I think its great that it also has this support group. What a plus..
Look forward to getting to know you all..

Alex
