Food & Drink - 14 October 2007

I would like to start eating healthier and I am having trouble thinking of meals and snacks to replace junk foods like crisps and chocolate bars.
My weight is not an issue at all, I am actually trying to gain weight, so I need some moderate to high calorie foods.

I try to avoid any unhealthy foods like crisps, etc. but for example, right now I was starving for food and I looked in the kitchen to find barely anything that I can just grab and eat quickly. I did manage to find some salmon pate, which I made with wholegrain bread - but I can;t find anything else! I was tempted to grab a packet of crisps but managed to change my mind.
As for dinners, I do eat pretty healthy dinners but think I have too much meat like sausages, etc. and I don't usually eat more colourful veg like peppers, chilli's, etc. I also don't think I get enough fruit.
There are not many foods that I dislike, so please give me some healthy, moderate-high kcal recepices. I especially like noodles, pasta, etc.

I am making chili in the crock pot for tonight, and it has been cooking for 6 hours already. I forgot to add the beans until just now, and will 2 hours be enough time for the beans to cook it in? Should I put it on high for the last 2 hours?

I'm not sure how long it will take to cook them.

Thanks!

They were made in the 90's and were little shortbread circles with a Hershey on top. They came in little packages of four in a rectangular carton. They no longer make them but i need to find out who made them and what they were called.

One of the characters in my novel is a seriosu bartender and I am trying to describe his fingers. If you work long hours as a bartender, cutting fruit, washing stuff, etc, do your fingers suffer any effects? Funny stains? Permanantly wrinkled tips? Anything identifiable or special?

What's better than homeade soup simmering and warm fresh bread when it's chilly out? Yum.

I already make these kinds, do you have any more ideas or recipes?

Chicken Noodle (homeade egg noodles)
Chili
Stew
Beef Barley
Potato

I'd especially love to know how to make a great veggie soup, as well as Italian Wedding Soup. Thanks~

I heard that it's banned in some states in America because it makes you hallucinate. Is this true?

Has anyone actually drunk it themselves?

I've always thought that they were because they have the vegan logo on all their products but someone told me that the finished product isn't tested on animals but their ingredients are.

Can something still be labelled as vegan if the ingredients are tested on animals?
