elli. You are my saviour. And to think we were, just yesterday, bitter enemies. I now think you the wisest, most caring person ever.
If anyone else is suffering from this Healthy Eating thingamajig you need to be in here. We need help.
For lunch I had a stew made with fresh oily mullet and fresh, lightly cooked vegetables. It tasted really delicious but as I spend, oh 10 mins thinking about how to put it together and even longer cooking it, I fear that I spend too much time thinking about food.
Still all is not lost, because I decided that even though it was definitely (or is that definately) divine (or is that devine) I should have lashings of toast and margarine with it to make it more enjoyable.
So thank you elli. I am learning so much.

pixie - yes I managed to steal something sweet and sticky before I got onto the side of the bus but I needed that to help me stick to the side of the bus (not much but the window joinery to cling to on buses these days) and I didn't have time to lick it off before the driver physically ejected me into the gutter.
And I was in the right place for crabs but my fisherman rescuer took all those I had gathered while I was splashing about on the bottom of the ocean, in the mud. He told me they were his reward for saving me. Mean so and so. I need crabs too because I write about them by mistake.

I am soo happy how everyone is rallying around me. cooks has been kind enough to start a thread rallying the troops from Health and Beauty as well. It started with the word 'Fruitcake'. I'm sure she wasn't being intentionally unfunny. I harbour good feelings that she just, like Margot Leadbetter, has a problem with her humour gland, but that will come right, if she just stays in here and learns from ellihen and all the others, how to cure her very own Righteous Eating Disease.
You see she is worse than me. While I don't eat certain foods on a regularly basis, she, oh I'm almost afraid to say it so I'll whisper, substitutes Optifast for entire meals.
Isn't it lucky I found this disease in this morning's Herald. We could have both gone to our graves as disease ridden old biddies with nothing better to do than hurl insults at each other.
Come in here people and help us both. We need our lives shortened.

"Quote buzzy110" You see she is worse than me. While I don't eat certain foods on a regularly basis, she, oh I'm almost afraid to say it so I'll whisper, substitutes Optifast for entire meals. " what IS your problem? ? ... I have never met such an attention seeker as you buzzy, obvioulsy the attention you crave was sadly lacking in your younger years. What i eat and how i eat is MY business thanks very much and certainly not yours. So take your mental rantings and go and do something constructive. oh and yes, fruitcake is exactly what I meant.

Oh but cooks, when you called me a Fruitcake you made yourself a legitimate target. All I expected from you, as ellihen has done, is provide me with solutions to my Righteous Eating Disease. I didn't ask to be called names. That is cruel and unkind to someone suffering as I am.
Now, queen of the bundt tins, I know you are suffering from this disease way worse than me. At least my sense of humour is still intact. I'm sure that all your friends will see this post and come in here with remedies.

What a great idea Cookie - fruitcake would definitely help Buuzy overcome her Orthorexia Nervosa.

Oh fruitcake. I have a fantastic fruitcake recipe made with sweetened condensed milk. Yipee. Thanks cooks. I knew you would have some good ideas. My bad for not seeing it sooner. You were just so subtle by posting your solution in Health and Beauty.
Physically slapping myself as I write.

I thought you said the other month Buzzy that you had finished your lectures on here? I know you will say that this is not what this post is about but we are not stupid.
cookessentials,
Jul 5, 1:08pm
sadly buzzy, that is not a sense of humour. it is someone sadly lacking in self esteem and social skills, so much so, that she needs to constantly ridicule others, whether it be their choice of food, their occupations, their spelling and anything else she does not agree with or is envious about. Quite sad really because i am sure that at times you have some wonderful tips and advice to impart, but it is negated by the kind of rubbish here. if you wish to go around calling me the buntdt lady or as davidt calls me - "that cook shop person", please feel free - it is really only showing you for the sort of person you are. I am here to help answer peoples cooking and recipe questions, what exactly are you here for?

I am feeling very fragile at this stage. cooks wants me to leave Recipes altogether but this site is all that is keeping me sane in my hour of need. Why is she so cruel as to cast aside someone who needs help to get her diet back on track.
My 'other' doctor won't see me, my alternative but highly intelligent doctor has gone off on an overseas jaunt and public health won't pay for me to see a psychologist.
Recipes is my only friend now and cooks would send me away into the wilderness with only me and my rants for company. Mean cooks.

I was wondering where this thread had come from (I don't follow the indepth topics as I'm too stupid to understand them - I've got other things I'd rather read indepth conversations about).
But just read today's Sideswipe and spotted it.
buzzy110,
Jul 5, 1:49pm
Yes unkowndisorder. Sadly I spotted it too and recognised myself. I went into an immediate decline, realising I actually had a disease - a quantifiable disease, so I used humour to help me come to terms with it but some people on here just want me to suffer horribly.
Nevertheless, I have the perfect therapy. Yesterday, expecting driven rain to fall upon us all day long, I snuck into my garden early and gathered up all the nearly ripe windfall grapefruit, oranges and lemons. I put them through my mandolin and put them into water to soak for 36 hours.
Tomorrow, I will make marmalade. It will have a truckload of sugar in it. I usually donate jars of the stuff to our local Vincent De Paul shop, but I might just keep some jars for personal use. This will be my first foray into eating without fixating on righteous eating.
Wish me luck. My marmalade is usually delicious so that'll make it easy.

This is more like it.
A person with a narcissistic personality disorder is not hard to miss; he or she will intentionally or unintentionally make sure of that. High on ego, selfishness, and arrogance, they usually find a way to polarize or antagonize anyone near them. And with the advent of mass media such as reality TV and talent shows, a person with NPD can infuriate or disgust millions of viewers across the globe.
Signs that someone has this type of personality disorder can be agonizingly noticeable. They’re the ones who appear to be annoying, spiteful, or condescending toward others. Also, they rarely take the blame for their own faults, and will often manipulate a situation, as well as the people around them, for their own gains.
Other factors that may be a sign of NPD are the way a person handles the angry reactions that come from somebody a person with NPD may have intentionally – or unintentionally – insulted. In many cases, that person will not be aware of the words or actions he or she had directed toward the one that was tormented. Instead, a person with NPD may react to the backlash as if being personally attacked and victimized without taking any faults. He or she may even think that that person reacting to his/her action was the aggressor

Oh that is excellent hezwez. I need one of those and it will help me to believe in myself -
"Pink hoodie sweatshirt with Elmo design and slogan "It's all about ME"
Jayjays size medium"
But when I cure myself I'm going to need jumbo size. At the moment I am keeping my trousers up with my husband's belts but after I'm cured, a jumbo ME hoodie will do very well to hide the fact my zips will not longer do up.

cooks. You are ranting again. What is with you today? Even hezwez can put aside past antagonism and help me in my quest for normalcy.
I don't want to suffer from NPD or CVD or SRED or any other group of alphabets. I want to be normal. This is a cry from the heart.

Oh and cooks - copying and pasting from the net again. I thought you copied and pasted a bunch of ideas the other day where the person claimed that a person shouldn't use anyone else's words to express themselves. Curiouser and curiouser.

sadly, you already do-perhaps go and try and find a cure for that while you are at it.
buzzy110,
Jul 5, 3:12pm
No cooks. I am snowed under trying to dig myself out from my own Righteous Eating Disease. You need to find your own cure for copying and pasting other people's words as your own. And that is all I am prepared to say about your copying from others.

Buzzy just make a rule only to buy food in a box don't eat the box's though it could have too much nutritional value. I do enjoy your dribbling writing its fun though I am surprised some even read it if they dislike it sooo much. OH and my advice would be to quickly google a recipe for something apropriate to post so as to make this thread a "recipes" thread. :)

I think it is funny too - easy to ignore if you do not want to read.
Have said it before but I think much of buzzy's writings are interesting, even though I do not agree with a lot of it. Does not do to only read stuff you agree with - you may begin to think you are always right!
