Alright, I just confirmed why I am a vegetarian....

Well then I will definitely be there! ;)

I still intend to be there in November! There are always excuses of why not to visit a country that has some instability and there will never be a perfect time. So long as Egypt is not actively at war, my trip will go on as planned.

Sorry but I love my 325xi and I especially love the all wheel drive. Would I like to have an M3 (or better yet an M5 - don't like the looks of the M6)? You bet but, then again, there are lots of things I would like to have but that I just won't be getting anytime soon. And sorry, just because...

I have always done the 12 day Wild Rose Detox diet which also includes supplements. http://www.wrc.net/wrcnet_content/dietplans/d-tox_diet_12day.htm It is a commercially available detox program. The first time you do it is the hardest. Much easier after that.

Many of these symptoms will pass and are very similar to starting a detox diet. If you find the gas bad in the beginning (I know I did) try Beano. After your first month everything should sort itself out completely. Your complexion may also get worse for a while as your body releases toxins...

Been veggie for 15 years now. All of the Moosewood cookbooks are fabulous - I particularly like "Sundays at Moosewood". Also check out Mollie Katzen's other cookbooks (she was involved with the original Moosewood cookbook). I find Indian food great since a lot of it is very flavourful and...

My understanding from the other posts is that some of the hotels own their own jetties allowing their dive operations to leave from a private jetty. Any ideas on this?

Thanks for the response. Now the next issue - given the mixed reports I have heard from Sharm about the cattle car boats, the overcrowded dive sites and the insistence of one day at the local sites which, from my understanding, are not worth diving, can anyone recommend a reputable dive op that...

I am headed to Egypt to dive in November. I had previously been advised to avoid Sharm and head to El Gouna. Now I am hearing from locals to go to Sharm instead. Only problem is that I don't know if these locals are more divers or resorters. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Brief update - have had my third appointment and it is definitely working. Not much left and I was told that I should be done next appointment (that is, until I start my underarms - hee hee - it IS addictive!) Tip of the day: DO NOT get LHR done when hung over!! I have never voluntarily...

Welcome Christian!! It is always great to see another Vancouverite on tihs board!

Welcome to the board Mike! Colorado diving - now that's dedicated! I am a wimp... I think I would wait for my return to Florida

Welcome to SB! Sounds like you had an awesome time in Fiji... I'm soooooo jealous!

Welcome to SB annod! Congratulations on your certification! Great choice for the open water dives. Canadian waters are cold (especially in Winnipeg!!)

Nope - in my books, it's gotta be Maldon! http://www.maldonsalt.co.uk/

And of course, that salt would be Maldon now wouldn't it??? :D :D

Olive oil is probably the healthiest oil being a monosaturate. Plus, get the right olive oil and the taste is to die for! Of course, that taste is much to much for baking or certain ethnic cooking. In those situations I also use canola oil.

Most of my recipes are too long to post plus I am not very good at measuring (unless baking...) Hmmm, mushroom risotto: 1 onion (chopped up) 2 cups aborio or Italian style rice 3-4 T unsalted butter 1/2 cup - 3/4 cup wine dried porcini mushrooms hydrated (I stick them in the boiling...

All I can say is look into a custom fit suit if you plan to keep diving up here. I also have a small neck so a custom fit was vital plus my suit did not leak, even in the pool when I was testing it out. Another thing to keep in mind if you have a neophrene neck seal make sure not to look up...
