OT - Mini Rant, Fast Food

i was just wondering if part of this not absorbing is from being dehydrated,
so if you could get something with eltrolights, sp it might help, and also i
am going to suggest something here and i want you to take it like i mean
it...

even though we all know you are NOT annerexic, sp, what you describe are a
lot of the symptoms of that condition, so i am wondering if you could go
and read up on it and see if there are any medical treatments that might
assist you,

again, we all know this is NOT your condition but the results, dry mouth,
weight loss/hair loss, gagging starving to hurling, are symptoms, so if
there is a treatment, supplement, shake or pill or even an IV that helps
these people it stands to reason it would help your symptoms,

They think now is that it was because of the RSD and pushing myself too

weighing on 89.5 pounds (as of this morning).

Not that I think eating healthy is *bad*, only that it doesn't matter to
the
doctor or nutritionist *what* I eat as long as I get a lot more protein
into
my body.

Best I can suggest is those 'protein shakes' that body builder types use
to muscle up, or even going down to the health food shop and buying those
amino acid supplement thingies (probably about as good as a 'protein
shake', actually)

Did a bit of a search and came across this site. It might be helpful:

remember to bring the dough back to room temp and let it rise before baking,
also, since you use a scale, you might be able to speed the process by just
getting it portioned, stuffing into frig as you go, then remove how many you
think you can handle, shape and let rise then bake, I read a stunningly
excellent bread group where i have learned a lot, alt.bread.recipes i think,
if not search for bread groups, you want the one where barry harmen and
boron are posting, maybe carol will read this and confirm the name, lol, Lee

I thought about doing something like that, but I didn't know if it would
work. Maybe even chilling half the dough, then chilling the first batch
while preparing the second. I'll definitely try that - thanks for the
suggestion.

BTW, I use a digital scale to portion the dough - about 80 grams per
bun. That's almost twice the weight of commercial "whole wheat" buns,
but real brown bread *is* heavier than the 'whole wheat added as a minor
ingredient' stuff one gets at the store.

Of course, I'll let it rise.

I've been thinking about this plan:

1) divide the dough into two more or less equal blocks and put them both
in the refrigerator to chill
2) take out one chilled block and divide it into loaf size balls
3) form the buns
4) put those back into the refrigerator
repeat with the other half
5) take the buns out and put them on the pan to rise

I need a good way to judge the rising. I have been thinking about
putting a glob of dough into a small measuring glass I have and waiting
until it reaches twice the initial volume. It would still mean guessing
about the change in curvature of the top, but that's less of a problem
than trying to guess in three dimensions. I'm well aware that starting
with chilled dough, the recipe rising time estimates are worthless.

The measuring glass has almost straight sides and is marked in 10 ml
increments to 120 (15 from there to 150), tablespoons to 10, teaspoons to
30, and half ounces to 5. I haven't found any other regular use for it.

i am not much of a cook, but bread is some easier for me because in some
ways its more of an art form. if you can use this glas to watch the dough
that might work. and double from chilled is longer than doubled from room
temp, the reason i mention it i read a thread where someone had pulled the
dough from the frig and stuffed it right into the oven without letting it
warm. now on the other hand you can do as your plan listed above if you
shape before the last rise, then let it rise overnight in a slow rise, then
you just let it warm before cooking, good luck and let us know how it works,

Hi Ted, try alt.bread.recipies.

We have many experts there no matter what type of breadmaking you do. They
include the slow rise fridge type folks!

I absolutely *HATE* McDonalds. Of course, perversely that's the *ONLY* fast
food place that DH likes. It's not just the food bad, but the service is
horrendous (we sat in line at the drive-through for, I swear, *45 MINUTES!
We stopped there on the way home from the doctor's office and (needing to
gain weight) I ordered a bacon double cheeseburger with extra pickles. We
were charged for that, it came in a "double cheeseburger" wrapping, but what
was inside? A single patty, bacon that was so old it looks and tastes like
leather, and not a single thing else on it except a few pickles - no
tomatoes, lettuce, sauce (ketchup, mayo or muster) - that's it, dry and
nasty from sitting under the heating lamps.

I'm not a huge fan of McDonald's, preferring the taste of Hungry Jack's
(which is approximately equivalent to Burger King in the USA).

Besides having a different menu designed for local tastes, we still have
the 'classic' Big Mac, Quarter Pounder and Cheeseburger at our McDonalds.

None of them particularly appeal to me, but I felt I have to speak in
defence of Aussie Maccas.

True, only the Big Mac has lettuce. None of the above have tomato
either. And for a standard non-fast-food burger, it needs to come with
lettuce, tomato, pickled beetroot and onion, as well as the meat patty
and sauce (standard burgers skip the pickles and mustard).

But I digress.

Every Maccas in Australia (AFAIK) now makes burgers to order. They don't
sit under lamps, waiting, and thus are never ever dried out or old, nor
the lettuce soggy from being 'warm' for too long.

I do have a weakness for their bacon & egg muffins of a morning, and
know the muffins are at least freshly toasted simply because of the
variability of the toasting. If they were all done together and
re-warmed, they'd all be the same degree of toasted, which they aren't.

The quality of Maccas food has improved dramatically here in the last 10
years or so, going from disgusting burgers similar to the one you had to
having both the traditional 'burger and fries' menu to 'heart smart'
ticked meals (an independent body that assesses whether something is
good for the heart or not) and healthy light options. The cafe options
have been particular popular in recent years, although they aren't
available in the drive through area. (They do a perfectly acceptable ham
cheese & tomato toasted foccacia)

Best of all is their espresso pronto coffee, which is a perfectly decent
cappuccino, from the drive through. Whilst not the 'best' cappuccino
I've ever had, its far from the worst. And I can grab one on the way to
work if I drop Cary at school.

I get alot of drive through coffees these days :-)

Oh, I take you very seriously - and, technically as you said, I do have
anorexia (just not anorexia nervosa which is, I think, the one that's more
mental than physical). I have another appointment with my nutritionist and
my PCP early next month and I was going to bring that up. I don't know how
they treat anorexia, but that treatment may help me.

Personally, though, I think it's the RSD, which scares me because all these
new symptoms are signs of being in Stage Four ("End Stage"). All of these
symptoms, combined, have no other explanation. Also, the edema I get in
just the left foot, not the right could either have something to do with the
dehydration or be the reason I can't be dehydrated.

I don't know - it just seems the more I know about this the more questions I
have about it. All I can do is just take things a day at a time.

i know you take me seriously, i just wanted to make sure noone accused me of
saying you had nervosa, i am glad i was clear enough, and yes you can swell
and b dehydrated, IIRC dehydration is define in some way by what is the
balance/concentration of what is in your blood, and by the nature of your
weight alone, i am willing to bet you are in a constant state of
dehydration, as to the foot thing i haven't a clue about that, but i can
tell you what my physical therapist had me do for lower extremity swelling,
it might be hard for you since you are thin enough it might be
uncomfortable,...

you lay on your back on the floor, you scoot up to a couch or other surface
so you can put your legs from the knee down parell to the floor, so you are
in a traditional sitting position except the back of the chair is the floor,
the seat is what you are scooted up next to, and the flat surface parell to
the floor is supporting your legs from the knee down, as you lay there and
rest, occasionally in no particular time table point your toes then relax,

I am not sure how painful that would be for you, but i can gaurentee it
really helped my swelling, Lee

I haven't tried that - though I will put pillows under my feet when I'm in

keep you from throwing a clot (the cardiologist recommended this , but I
haven't been consistent in wearing them because they *hurt*!

"dry eye" I live with constantly. Also, the roller coaster weight. Not

down to 94 - so yo-yo, but ultimately down to 89.3 as a new low. This

my mom had many of your symptoms, she had already been dx'd with RA but it
took three months, and 45 pounds and most of her hair for someone to think
to do the blod tes for shogrum/shrogruns syndrome, can't spell it but, its
in the RA lupus family but instead of inflaming joints like in ra it does
that to your internal organs, and if not stopped it will simpley killy you
with your own antibodies, she is on meds now, and it has slowed but it will

They think now is that it was because of the RSD and pushing myself

Not that I think eating healthy is *bad*, only that it doesn't matter
to the
doctor or nutritionist *what* I eat as long as I get a lot more

Best I can suggest is those 'protein shakes' that body builder types
use to muscle up, or even going down to the health food shop and
buying those amino acid supplement thingies (probably about as good as
a 'protein shake', actually)
