So...everything that's good in life (except for bacon.) -- nm - Jim Dec 23, 12:15 14
- The only thing I'd call good on that list is potatoes. -- nm - mara Dec 23, 12:16 13
  - this was my thought, although pasta can be good if made with something better than white flour -- nm - zork Dec 23, 12:20 1
    - we've been using veggie and rice-based rotini lately. tasty. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:26
  - I don't eat white bread, but everything else on that list sounds fine to me. As in good. As in delicious. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:17
  - Are you frickin' kidding me? Pasta??? -- nm - Jim Dec 23, 12:17 4
    - You're right that it's on the list, but I assume he meant non-whole-grain pasta. -- nm - mara Dec 23, 12:22 2
      - Ugh, I've had whole wheat pasta and it's godawful. The taste is off and the texture is like slimey rubber. It's not good at all. -- nm - Trish Dec 23, 12:45 1
        
        yeah, it's pretty hard to find decent whole wheat stuff -- nm - zork Dec 23, 12:58
    - Seriously. - Stephen Dec 23, 12:21
  - What do you drink? -- nm - Spawn Dec 23, 12:17 4
    - PBR, apparently -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 12:18 3
      - nah...mara is a Natural Light kind of gal. -- nm - Remlik Dec 23, 12:19 2
        
        Light?? Are you calling me fat? -- nm - mara Dec 23, 12:20 1
        
        Not at all! As a woman of taste I just assumed you'd drink that. - Remlik Dec 23, 12:23
