tags, co-mods, rules modification and more

[copperlion]

Hi guys!

I'm so glad to see people over here actively posting. Welcome!

Just so you know: there is now a tag for recipes: recipe! Also, if you guys would like other tags, please feel free to request them by leaving a comment on the Rules/FAQ post. (After I make you a tag, I'll be screening the comment so it doesn't get to jumbled over there.)

There has also been an addition to the rules: I'd like to ask you guys to cut for discussion of weight loss and calorie counting in respect for people who need or want to be able to skip these kinds of discussions.

I am also still in the market for a co-mod, as my life at the moment is hectic-land and I am focusing on getting enough sleep while still applying to Ph. D programs, going to grad school and interning. I'd really like to have a weekly open-thread, but know that it isn't something I could take on right now. So if there is anyone out there who thinks this is a good idea and would like to take on the responsibility raise your hand!

And lastly, if you have any other suggestions, things you'd like to see, things you'd like to tell me, anything, please go on ahead! I'd like to hear what you think of the comm so far and where you'd like it to go in the future.

Walk in the rain

Had a nice, long walk in the rain with no umbrella this morning with my children. It certainly felt primal. It would have felt more like PLAY, though, if it had been 20 degrees warmer and I hadn't been heading for work!

I just linked this in the other discussion, but thought maybe I should post it as a useful looking resource:

Coconut curried eggs

[rydra_wong]

Okay, this is basically fancied-up scrambled eggs, but it's fun, pretty low-spoons, and is the first thing I've tried using coconut oil for.

For one person:

teaspoon of coconut oil
three eggs
some mild-ish curry powder
handful of dried coconut chips

Beat your eggs together, adding a sprinkling of your curry powder of choice (I have a "coconut curry" spice mix, which is what inspired this in the first place, but I imagine various kinds would work).

Melt your coconut oil in a pan, then tip in your eggs and scramble as per usual. Once they're done, mix in the coconut chips and eat.
