I came across this freebie that I wanted to tell you guys about. It’s a free recipe book called “Easy. Any Day: Australian Lamb For All Seasons.” It’s by Award-winning author and celebrity chef, Sally James, who shares her best Australian Lamb recipes. The book features 18 seasonally inspired lamb recipes that are simple enough to prepare on weekdays, but elegant enough to impress weekend guests. There are also full meal suggestions, including recipes for side dishes and sauces, dozens of preparation and handling tips and inspirational ideas to spark your own creativity.

I’m planning to order this recipe book for my Grandmother. I think she will love this book because lamb is one of her favorite foods, for some odd reason and she’s constantly trying new recipes. If you’d like to, you can also get the free book for yourself by visiting the site below!

I can’t remember the last time I’ve chosen to drink a glass of milk ‘just because’. Actually, I can’t even remember the last time I had milk at all. That’s because I’m lactose intolerant. I believe I’m the only person in my family who is lactose intolerant. When I was younger, I would tell my cousins to say “tofu” when posing for a picture instead of “cheese” since I couldn’t eat cheese, but now that I’m older and I realize how important dairy products are it’s not so funny.

I think I’m missing out on a lot of calcium by not drinking milk. I still eat yogurt a lot because it doesn’t bother me as much, but I miss being able to eat dairy and drink milk without getting really sick. I’ve also been taking a calcium supplement with my vitamins to make up for what I’m missing. My problem is that with calcium supplements you have to take two daily and I always forget to take the second one. I have to be more mindful of that.

You guys don’t know this about me, but I love Uncle Bens. It is the only rice that we eat in my house. I personally think it’s the best rice on the market. At any rate, for the first time ever, Uncle Bens has created whole grain rice that looks white. It’s still whole grain, but with the taste and ease of white rice. Just whole grain goodness in five delicious flavors the whole family will enjoy. Flavors include creamy chicken, sweet tomato, broccoli cheddar, taco, and garden vegetable. There’s also the regular long grain rice as well.

To promote his new rice, the makers of Uncle Bens are giving away a free box of rice. All you have to do to get the free rice is copy and paste the URL below into your browser and print the coupon. When you buy one box of rice you’ll get a second box for free. This offer is valid through 12/31/2010.

Today was the second morning in a row that I woke up feeling nauseous and groggy. I’m sure it has something to do with the way that I’ve been eating lately. Both Thursday night and last night I had different types of pasta for dinner and ice cream for dessert. It could have been the cheese and heaviness of the pasta that made me sick, but I’m sure it had more to do with the huge ice cream bowl I had both days.

I don’t know why junk food has to taste so good late at night, but it has to give you a fit the next day. I guess I can’t be hurting that bad because even though my stomach is upset right now I’m still thinking about what flavor of ice cream I will be having for dessert tonight. Lol. I need to go on a diet. Someone give me advice about diet pills. I need all the help I can get.
