G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required)

NOPE

Nope!!

NOPE!

Thanks !! Tell that to my wife. LOL I struggle about 2-3 times a day still but look at the benefits of quitting.

I need to learn the lyrics to this song or really get my whistling game on-point. Johnny Knoxville and Roger Alan Wade played this song last week as a palate cleanser. It's been in my head ever since and I played it for Maddie and Jackson tonight.

NOPE!

For Boo.

Um make some? Or pop on a plane, assuming you meet whateverand vaccine rules we have, and pop on down.

Nope!!!

Nope!!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOPE…

you should cool these by an open window. By the way, what is your address?

CHOCOLATE CHIP CLOUDS *Gluten free* Ingredients: 4 egg whites at room temp. (I use 1 yolk for snickerdoodles and the other 3 either go in scramble eggs or to the fur babies) 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/2 cup caster sugar (you can use monkfruit sugar or granulated splender, etc, to make it even healthier but I think it tastes different) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 tablespoons cooking cocoa (or for a healthier treat cacao powder, which I use because it has an iron content plus other goodies) 200g (7oz) chocolate chips (I use vegan ones, but you can use any that you want. Method: Preheat oven to 160c (300g) and line baking trays with paper or silmats or wotever) In a large bowl (glass is best, I dunno why but it is...don't use a metal or plastic bowl for this recipe) add the eggs and cream of tartar. Beat with a hand mixer until peaks form. Gradually add sugar beating well between each addition until glossy and thick and sugar dissolved. (So I beat it in in 4 batches then for a good 2-3 mins after the last of the sugar goes in. Add vanilla and beat. Add the cocoa and beat. Fold in chock chips. Drop spoonfuls of mix onto the tray and bake for 34-40mins. Cool on tray. Once cool store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. @d2e8b8 here are some I baked this morning... They are sort of crispy and chewey.

Nope!!!

NOPE!

I used to be able to eat everything except things with blue food colouring.... I'm not actually allergic to anything but due to internal scar tissue and my reconstructed bile duct being too close to my stomach outlet I have to avoid a lot of things because the side effects of eating them are pretty unpleasant. It's hard to eat out, unless I go Asian. But I'm a bit of a foodie so I think that's what makes it hardest. It could always be worse, plus I have discovered a whole trove of things I'd never have thought to eat before.

Why a pic, just fed ex a slice. With butter of course!

This is a genuine question - what's wrong with eggs? Also, why not post pics of the finished product ... yummm

NOPE…

Iguanas need guidance

Stay strong Sal ...this is your quit ... Nurture it with Love ...It's Special....

Lazy introverts clogging

looks delicious .... how do we get to next level? you know ... going beyond looks.

Congratulations on 10 months Kris. Two more and we will be cruising together.

Congratulations Dianne! Don't sail without me. I am bringing the booze.

Congratulations on one year down, Dianne!!!!

Sorry bout that @notsmokinjo. I posted Talking Heads "Stay Up Late" from the Little Creatures album. I spent many-an-hour bouncing my colicky niece and nephew to it, though I changed the lyrics to, "Make your Auntie stay up all night." Quite an earworm. "Little pee-pee! Little toes!"

Great job Dianne. Enjoy the lido deck.

Not sure what DenaliBlues posted because it's not available down here....but here's another one... Just saying, 30 years ago the old bloke in this was the hot new thing in Aussie Country and he even had a cross over top 10 hit in the pop charts.

In honor of our very own Boo's new arrival...

Sal you're doing awesome- never feel guilty for your quit or responsible for anyone else's Some struggle more than others and we love & support them just the same 100 smoke free days deserves something special for yourself

congrats @Dianei hear the lido deck is nice this time of year. 1 year is a great accomplishment. mad respect

One year smoke free! Huge and congratulations @dianne

Congratulations, @Dianne! Your quit is inspiring. I hear there's a party in your honor starting on the Lido Deck!

1 Year Quit is the Best Anniversary possible! I hope you are stoked about what it is you have managed to do

Congratulations Sal. 100 days smoke free is a huge accomplishment. Sorry about your wife's relapse but hopefully your success in quitting will inspire her to quit again.

Hi Sal, Congratulations on keeping your quit in spite of Anita smoking again. I stop short of calling her relapsed because she only quit to help you quit. As we all know we have to quit for ourselves so she was more refraining than quitting imo. I would mention to her when you smell smoke, especially if it causes you to crave. She may be more careful about it for you. Please reach out to us if you feel yourself caving, we want to keep you quit!

Hi Sal Congratulations on the 100+ days quit. That is truly awesome. Hopefully she will soon come around and find in herself her own reasons to quit again.

Hi, @Sal. Glad you are feeling good! 100+ days is something to be very proud of, and it's worth protecting. I'm sorry to hear that Anita has started to smoke again. For what it's worth, my advice is to acknowledge that openly and nonjudgmentally. You cannot control your spouse's smoking. (Having been "the smoking spouse" for a long time, myself, I can attest to that!) But you CAN find out what's up with her choice, and you can make sure she knows where you stand about keeping your own quit. Talking about it also prevents the silence around it from getting weird. Stay strong and positive about your own quit along the way. We want to celebrate all those future milestones together with you, Sal!

Happy Easter @Sal. Congrats on your 100+ day quit. Sorry to hear Mrs. Sal relapsed but you have my respect for staying strong. Passing the 100 day mark does give one a great sense of accomplishment.

It must be hard, there are things I should limit but I just can't do it. I am good about trying new things. I just like to many things. Some I can't afford often. I am blessed, I never had to go hungry like so many. I can't complain, I donate to food drives. I can't imagine that, no one should have to go without food. We all should donate, no child should be hungry, they deserve a balanced diet and treats as well. If you are blessed, you should also bless others!

I have no clue, no allergies, put in front of me and I will give it a go. Must be very hard for you.

Eggs - some people are allergic and supposedly egg yolks have fat...ironically I can't eat these because of the nuts, eggs are one of the few things I can eat though. I made my sister (an organic health nut) a batch of these for her post birth, breastfeeding hamper and she would have one or two during her night feeds. Pics - Will have to snap some picks next time I make some and add them. Although next week I will be baking Anzac bickies every day to feed the hordes.

APPLE BLUEBERRY SLICE Ingredients: 3 apples, cored, peeled (optional) and thinly sliced. 1 punnet (125g) blueberries (you could use other berries or a cup of sultanas/raisins) 180g (6.35oz) self raising flour 4 eggs at room temp 3 tbl spoons honey Milk as needed (I use about 1 tbl spoons oat milk) DESTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 200c (390f) Line a rectangle baking tray 35cm x 24cm (13 3/4" x 9 1/2") In a large bowl beat the eggs and honey. Add the flour and beat well the add enough milk to make a runny batter. Mix the apple slices into the batter. Pour batter and apples into lines tray, sprinkle berries on top, poming some down a bit into the batter. Bake 35-45mins until golden on top or skewer comes put clean. Cool, cut and enjoy.

Sorry, there are no healthy and tasty options. You could go to fruit bread with nuts, or pumpkin, but then you are going to want to toast with butter or cream cheese, at least at my house.
