Acceptance, encouragement, and well wishes given from the heart of another person is always a wonderful gift. Today I received such a gift from such an unlikely source that it has prompted me to tell you of it. To me, the experience of which I'll tell you relates to Internet marketing because it demonstrates the very essence of 'relationship building'...the much talked about activity within Internet marketing circles. I had a problem this morning. It was a…

They seem reasonably comfortable -- April wears hers all over the place. I only wear them when running, but it seems easier than regular shoes. Yup, toe socks. Here's what happened last time though ("classics" with no socks): http://friendfeed.com/paul...

Just watch out - they provide no protection in the front. I stubbed my pinky toe and broke it. Still not fully healed, 2+ months later

Well, I'm often in flip-flops or barefoot much of the time, so it's probably not much worse on the protection front. What did you kick?
- Paul Buchheit
A curb. Flip-flops and sandals usually stick out a bit in front of your toes, so I found the vibrams more dangerous. Versus barefoot, I hadn't internalized that they weren't shoes sufficiently.

Ouch. If I understand "barefoot style" running though (and I probably don't), your feet should be dragged forward, not kicked forward (momentum vs muscle), which should also lower impact if I do accidentally kick something.

Shades of Tellman Knudson at runtellmanrun.com . He's running barefoot 3000+ miles across the US, New York To L.A. You guys have some tough soles man. LOL

I've been running in Five Fingers since the spring. I'm still not up to my previous mileage in them, but I can do 15mi/week very comfortably (and much faster).

Haahr: I hear you on the toe exposure. I've had good luck with these running sandals, great for collapsed arches: http://bit.ly/4wRoNE . I've really wanted to try the Vibram Fivefingers though.

yuck! :-) too may unneeded herbs, just tossed in because they sound "italian". Most of the Italian cuisine is in the quality of the ingredients. Ditch the onion, the parsley, the rosemary, and if you find the right bread and the sweetest, ripest heirloom tomatoes (these http://www.1-hydroponics.co.uk/images... are the ideal ones) you will have all the "layers of flavor" you need with just four or five ingredients! (bread, tomatoes, garlic, basil, salt, oil)

(btw - "papa al pomodoro" is "the Pope with tomatoes" :D -- it's "paPPa" -- meal) ok - end rant

""Bacon" variety avocados are in season in the winter; lighter in flavor than the more popular Haas variety, these large, thin-skinned avocados are exceptionally creamy and are perfect for using in sauces. While remoulade is typically made with mayonnaise, in this case we've substituted the mayo with avocado and seasoned it with lime juice."

I made the avocado remoulade tonight but with creole mustard and more of it than called for.

"Deviled eggs. Easter egg hunts and summer picnic potlucks. I have been known to devour a dozen of these in one sitting. These were quick and easy. If you want them to be a little prettier, put the egg filling into a freezer bag, make a cut off of one corner of the bag, and pipe them into the egg white halves."

Also, at easter time, my dad likes to use food coloring to turn the egg whites pretty colors. It's a really neat effect with the bright yellow yolks.

I will personally vouch for all of these. NOM!

Let's see... I got 6 out of 10. My Jamaican friends in Dallas are slacking.

Not bad Harvey, which ones are you missing?

lol Shey, why not put all in one post? You just popped up like, ummm 10 times (lol) on my IM. Seriously, thanks for the recipes, was looking for something different tonight, and am going to the market soon! :-)

"This is a traditional chocolate cake and it has never failed me. It’s so moist and delectable, I often don’t even frost it. I bake it in a large rectangular pan or as cupcakes then sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. A bite is like a warm hug, a sweet kiss, and a trip to grandma’s all rolled into one. Bake it in cake rounds and frost it–and you might as well stick some candles in it and call it your birthday. You know, one where you get to pick the number and everything."
