Aah, well, since Say and Illusional both win, I can donate a $25 GC to make things fair so they both get their prize.

Woah! I've never seen these before. We don't do much jarring in my household, though.

I like this answer better than mine. Though I fear the grippy-rubber would melt. It's still a better answer.

Actually Antipova, I was a HARDCORE corporate pit bull who hung out with other pit bulls. I was an Ad Exec for 7 years and produced over 40 commercials. I worked hard and played even harder. I worked out a lot, but ate like shit even though I thought I was eating so healthy because I was buying all these products that said, "FAT-FREE" and "LOW-CALORIE" (as a side note people, real food doesn't need to scream out claims, it knows it has it going on!)

Melissa, I want to ask---how did you first become interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine? I can see it's really influenced your life a lot. What were your biggest resources when you were studying it?

I got really sick. I was 25lbs heavier, my skin was riddled in acne and I fell into a deep depression. I saw a Nutritionist who rocked my world and changed it for the better. I scratched most gluten off my list and then saw a Chinese Medical Doc who gave me acupuncture, herbs and introduced me to the energetics behind food...that's when I fell in love.
I dropped my career, left my fiancé and became poor overnight to pursue my career as a health practitioner. It was a struggle, but it's been worth it.

Thanks so much for joining us, Melissa! I love learning about Asian culture ideas, especially when it comes to food or ki/chi, and you covered BOTH!

Ugh gluten *shakes fist* my biggest enemy. Ive been weening off it, its been a pain but is my up most priority. I know its really vital in helping my feel better. I used to eat sooo much gluten but ive dramatically decreased the amount and have been keeping at it.

What kinds of tips do you have for reorganizing a kitchen without making a huge fuss? For instance, I live with my mother and can't really do much in the way of organizing and rearranging.

I know I couldn't be without a big huge Pyrex mixing bowl for letting bread rise, a shallow small sautee pan and a deep big sautee pan (both stainless steel, not nonstick), a cutting board and a decent, heavy knife, a thick-bottomed pot with a clear lid for cooking rice, and a 12-quart stock pot for soups and things.
And apparently now I'm scheming to own a fancy blender like Melissa's...
