Happy 2008, everyone! This being my first post, I'll just do a brief introduction- I'm 22, recent college grad, violinist and teacher, and soon to be employed at the restaurant Quaker Steak and Lube, which definitely does NOT offer much in the way of health food fare. As for my diet, I usually make an effort to keep it "balanced," but in truth, I' ( Read more... )
