What will YOU give up for Lent?

[Matt J]

I don't know what kind of pasta y'all are eating, but mine is usually a yellowish beige.

You need to rethink this. Can you go 40 days without pasta? I would have a difficult time, and I don't have your heritage. Chips and salsa might be easier.

I know one thing, I ain't gonna give up Pizza Bar for 40 days!

it would be difficult but we don't eat pasta as much as we used to believe it or not. cause I don't eat just one plate. but giving up an occasional night out to Fat Clemenza's would KILL me. I would have to order something without pasta - which would really hurt my feelings bad.

They've got whole wheat Barilla at Publix now to help you on the pasta front.

yuck. but I would do it.

That is, if she likes the taste of cardboard with her pasta sauce. JK.

exactly. I haven't even tried the recent brands which are suppose to be better.

NS. I pretty much hate anything whole wheat, so I might be screwed. But, it's only 40 days, right?

DD - I'm in if you are. I know that this means a lot of giving up but I need a lesson on exactly what it will mean.

totally yellowish/beigey. not even close to white. like rice or white bread.

Maybe I'll give up b!tching. Nah...........

Looks like I might do the "no white food" thing. Believe me, this will be sheer torture for me. It's my favorite food group. But maybe I might get a little healthier in the process.

I am in....need to purge my system of all the good things! Does white wine count??

hi iwiwt! oh goody - another person to share our misery.

actually, I'll bet we can come up with some pretty good recipes and other foods without the white. but do either of you have a good resource for exactly which foods are off limits? I can do some research if needed.

I think white wine is okay.

I'm going to eat all the potatoes in the house tomorrow. pasta is hard enough, but potatoes - I adore with all my heart. no french fries for lent? I've done it before. but I haven't given up all white foods though. ever. not even for a day.
