Thanks, that sounds absolutely delicious for a sandwich and also a great dip or topping for fresh vegetables! Looks like I stumbled onto an area of the forums I'll really enjoy. Could talk food all day! Always looking for alternatives to burgers so I'll try your recipe soon. Reminds me of Tofu-Walnut Patties from the 2005 Eat Up Slim Down series. The contributor was Erica Losito, it follows below: Prep time; 25 minutes; Cook time; 10 minutes. Ingredients: 1/2 pound firm tofu, 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1 cup fresh whole wheat bread crumbs (about 2 slices), 1/4 whole wheat flour, 1 onion chopped, 1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped, 1 1/2 teaspoons beef boullion powder, 1/4-1/2 garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tsp dried savory or 1 tsp dried sage, 1/2 - 1 cup water. Note: I substtuted spices for a favorite Emeril blend to my taste. Emeril's Essence Seasoning From Emerils.com Combine all thoroughly. Store in airtight container for up to 3 months. (I often double or triple the recipe since I use a lot) 2 1/2 tablespoons sweet paprika 2 tablespoons salt 2 tablespoons garlic powder 1 tablespoon black pepper (or white pepper) 1 tablespoons onion powder 1 tablespoon cayenne 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon dried thyme 1. With the back of a fork, finely crumble the tofu into a large bowl. 2. Add the oats, bread crumbs, whole wheat flour and mix gently. 3. Then add the onion, walnut, preferred seasoning and mix again. 4. Slowly add enough water so that you can shape the tofu mixture into six patties. 5. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and cook the patties over medium high heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden. 6. Flip the patties and continue cooking until browned on the other side. Note: This is also great baked. Lightly coat baking sheet with cooking spray, place patties on baking sheet and bake in 350 F oven for 20 minutes, turning after 10 minutes. You can also use mixture to substitute for meatballs. It freezes well!

Hello:I may be a bit biased: Depending on where you are staying at the beach and what else is available locally, how about couples spa including massage and other pampering treatments for the two of you?SpaMimi

Hello: Wow, that's staggering. Either you have a lot of time on your hands are are quite brilliant. May I ask you, how do you monetize your site/blog? It is recommended that online marketers give quite a bit of value or "move the free line" but your give away is unbelievable! It's not something of relevance to me at the moment but I had to let you know that it is quite an impressive accomplishment! I will link to you as appropriate. Thanks, SpaMimi

Hi: I saw that article the other day. Miserable for her right? That it took him a year was astonishing. Only the missing food was the clue. What impressed me in the article was that she was so clean. I agree with the person who wrote hire her as a housekeeper!. Very sad, actually. Sigh. There but for the grace of the creator and hard work go I. SpaMimi

Hello:All of those categories are really quite substantial themselves. But as you suggest, it will be driven by members and particular interests. Perhaps they can be streamlined. There are many and to look at the list more closely there may be some natural groupings. Perhaps a way to jump start this and a natural extension of what you do is to host online web casts or teleseminars on these topics for existing members and to attract new ones. You certainly have the technology at your disposal. I participate in them frequently and absolutely love the convenience and learning.Even what you do here at the forums to have people earn points (or purchase points) for their hosting accounts is unique. Is that commonly done? I logged back on tonight to share that I have just spent two days trying to upload an optimized word press blog tool. Even though it was frustrating, I persisted and finally succeeded. Because of WSYWIG programs, I have not had to use FTP for many, many years. Nor have I had the pleasure of experiencing cPanel, modifying an SQL database - and how do you PHP?Technology is a wonderful thing, but do some advances risk making all but the tech savvy less able to figure things out on our own? Outsourcing is highly recommended for even small and growing businesses, but what exactly is the cost for a home-based business owner? We are in search efficiencies and magic formulas to help us earn big so we can buy fancy things, but what happened to the joy of the process of getting to our success? Now there's a topic for you. That is an example of the type of business discussion I enjoy. These are just my random thoughts after the great learning experience I have just had. Sure it took two days, but the stories I have to tell are priceless! This is my first day with Xisto so I know those kinds of connections will happen. I hesitated to post to other categories because many of them have not been visited for some time. So, that told me that the discussion was not lively. Perhaps the Shout box is where the dynamic discussion happens? I must try it next time.Okay, I'll stop now! I'll be back again soon. It's still the same day in my US time zone, my goal was to get three posts in today!Thanks for your innovative forum and service. SpaMimi

Hello:I am new to the site and am participating to build credits by making connections. This is a unique approach, which I like very much.Have been a freelance writer for many years, with specialized expertise in a couple of areas. One marketing strategy that works well both offline and online is to write a report and give that away to people free of charge. The idea is to get it into as many hands as possible and build good will and provide valuable content.One of your previous post replies stated to stick with what you know, and that of course would be the focus of the report. An attractive 6 to 12 page document that provides some sort of solution for your audience, elaborating on a particular thing you're really good at. Of course, having a clear sense of your demographic helps know where to go to get the word out. Am looking forward to employing this strategy in a new industry very soon!Hope this helps!SpaMimi

Greetings All:I was attracted to the title of this post since I tend to be a nighthawk, particularly on long weekends such as Memorial Day. It's too bad the writer did not keep up, it could be a very interesting dialogue.The advice was very good, although, it sounded like a lot of work. Most people, including myself want strategies that work with their lifestyle, in other words, that easily fit in to their routine. Making changes is difficult, and sometimes it's enough to do just one thing that will make the difference.That's what interests me. Of all the choices, what is the one thing that will yield the greatest result. Let me review her list again and speak to each of the areas. Self care is important to me for many reasons. It should be important to you as wel. When we are at our best, we can give of ourselves joyfully without reservation, but with boundaries.More later. I'm taking a short break from an online tutorial. Hope you find my posts interesting.SpaMimi
