I was strolling down the street on my way to the ATM when a middle-aged guy passed me, looked me up and down, raised one eyebrow, and half-growled, "Ooooh, baby MAMA!"
Um, really?
What aspect of my 6-months-pregnant self was sending him the sexy vibe? My saggy brown maternity cords with the stretchy waistband showing? My comfy slip-on shoes? My big old belly?
I don't know, but as the days pass I'm less disgusted and more grateful to this lecherous dude. He reminded me that whether I'm feeling it or not, pregnancy is sexy.
I can hear some of you disagreeing already. What about all the unsexy side effects that come with being knocked up? And yes, the baby bump does make the actual mechanics of having sex more complicated.
But pregnancy is also the most visible, obvious result of having sex. It's what sex was designed for. Could this be why some men like to catcall at pregnant ladies?
Plus, expecting a baby can mean bigger boobs, better curves, flushed skin, and an increased sex drive. I know some of you feel like the second coming of Marilyn Monroe right now.
Over in the comments on this post, Emily says:
"While I detested most aspects of being pregnant, I will say this: pregnant, I may be a beach ball with legs, but never in my life have I felt so powerful, so sexy, so amazingly feminine, and so unashamed of my body; I wore bikinis almost non-stop, fitted tube-tops, slinky dresses, all designed to hug the bump."
And ~7boys&5girls~ agrees:
"I feel sexy and feminine all the time! I loved my pregnancy bellies even when I was the size of the largest exercise ball in the yoga aisle at Walmart. I even feel sexy in my muddy jeans and boots and a baggy t-shirt on the tractor plowin' the corn field. That's like amazing!"
I'm not quite as gung-ho.
Personally, pregnancy falls somewhere between "sexy time" and "please don't touch me." But it's definitely more fun than the postpartum period, when I feel oozy and achy and wish that the OB's kibosh on sex lasted far longer than 6 weeks.
The fruit comparison works for me. Before pregnancy, you're that blossoming flower on the tree. During pregnancy, you're the juicy, round, red apple swelling with promise. And right after pregnancy … imagine that apple after it's been in the dehydrator for a day. Apple rings, anyone?
Is pregnancy sexy? Do you feel sexier when you're knocked up? And what's your honey's opinion?

I think pregnancy is extremely sexy. I was a casino cocktail waitress during my pregnancy. I wore a tight black cocktail dress and heels through my whole pregnancy and men hit on me like crazy. They always wanted to rub my belly for good luck. I never made so much money in my life. Needless to say, I really miss the belly.
Thanks for the quote!
My hubby found me very attractive. I felt sexy months 4-7.5. And I really find most pregnant women to be so beautiful, it's amazing. However, most of the populace in this town just finds pregnant women to be big, and a nuisance… sigh
Hubby found the belly to be gross. (I don't make a pretty pregnant woman) Most women do though! Most men have this subconscious attraction to women who are fertile. Pheromones are weird! My mom actually got her period while I was pregnant. She hadn't had a period for 4 years! She thought she was in menopause and then we started hanging out more all of a sudden has a period.
I would feel sexy if it weren't for all the aches and pains that go along with a big, pregnant tummy.
I'm a belly dancer, but I took a break during the beginning of my pregnancy. At month 6 I danced a set around 15 mins. I've never gotten so many compliments and tips. It wasn't just the wow look at that oddity either, the men and women watching my set commented of how beautiful and hot it was to see this round belly moving the same way as the flat sexy tummy of my fellow dancer.
I LOVED my pregnant body… Everything about it… I was more comfortable with my body as a pregnant woman than I had been before my pregnancy, and with my body now. I can't wait to be pregnant again!!
Absolutely felt sexy all the way up to month 8. I swore when I found out I was pregnant that I would make an effort to look hot and dress cute everyday and I got a lot of comments that it was working. But once my feet started swelling my sexy factor took a dive…when you can't squeeze your feet into heels anymore it sucks. First thing on the agenda when i am cleared for exercise post partum – pole dancing classes!!!
Well since pregnancy is the only time my tummy is really firm then sure, why not:) My husband thinks I'm sexy pregnant, that's all I really care about.
Even though I love my DS, I really miss being pregnant. I loved IT! I loved my curves, my boobs, and my round belly. I wore anything and everything tight to show my belly off. Now, I watch pregnant woman and wish I was pregnant again. Pregnancy is the best eye opener to the world and your husband of how strong you and your body truly are.
I am 8 mos along with my second pregnancy and honestly I don't feel sexy when I am pregnant. I am sooo uncomfortable 90% of the time by the third trimester and the first trimester I am sick as a dog and tired. However, I do agree that pregnancy is a very powerful and empowering feeling for us ladies. Okay, I have to say that I think a guy who is not the pregnant woman's partner that makes remarks like hot mama to a pregnant lady he doesn't know is a perv to me…that would freak me out and make me uncomfortable.
My husband and I both find me more sexy when pregnant, for sure! No, the puking is not hot, but something about the glow– and knowing that we're creating a new little baby together– definitely is. And, curves are more forgiveable on a pregnant mama!
when i was pregrant most of my officemates and friends said i'm blooming. they found me more beautiful. I just replied, well i'm inspired with my baby inside me. Now my baby is 7 months old, they said i'm more sexier and beautiful before i get pregrant,my first baby after my 14 years of marriage.thanks God for the miracle
We're going to start TTC our second child soon, and my husband caught me off guard the other day. It was warm out and I was wearing a sundress. He told me I looked cute, and it would look even better with a baby bump underneath! What?! During my last pregnancy, he never commented that I looked particularly sexy. Maybe the look is "growing" on him?
I will say that I'm going to try to feel sexier for my next pregnancy. Last time I ate my way through it, but this time I'm going to dress my way through it!!
I did not feel or look sexy will I was pregnant with 1st (dd) or 2nd (ds) pregnancy. I had hyperemesis gravidarum for both pregnancies. I lost so much weight. With my dd it was 25 lbs and with my dd is was 40 to 45 lbs. So I did not have a pregnancy glow or anything. I really wish I did. I think pregnant women should feel sexy because it is a miracle that we are carrying a life in us. My dh would say that I was sexy and I asked him how I could be sexy when I was hugging the toilet more than him..lol.
I do feel very sexy when I'm pregnant. Aches, pains, morning sickness, gas, ungainly walk and all, I really feel beautiful. I find that when I'm really feeling horrible, it helps to dress attractively. Nothing like a maternity mini skirt, fitted T and heels to chase away feelings of frumpiness. And my darling hubby says that I don't look pregnant from the back. Honestly, I think he's just being sweet (how can I not look pregnant from the back when I'm busting out all over with twins?), but it certainly is nice to hear. I have also noticed appreciative looks from men as I walk (well, lumber) down the street. I think there is something very sexy and beautiful about a pregnant woman.
My husband can't get enough of me lately for some reason. I am 36 weeks and the last few weeks we have had more action than my entire pregnancy! He says I am glowing and tells me I look pretty all the time.
I told myself at the begining of my pregnancy that I was not going to be a frumpy prego, so I have tried to dress decent and I have gotten a lot of compliments from people, which help make me feel prettier. I admit, I have been more self concious and all the aches and body changes definitely do not make you feel sexy sometimes!
I am 9 months pregnant and when i started this journey. I thought I was beautiful then around the sixth month despite all the lotion stretch mark haven had arrived. All the sudden I wasn't feeling to sexy any more. I felt big tired over whelmed with every thing i felt i had to get ready. I'm do i July and i don't feel sexy anymore. through the cramps, round ligament pain, the swollen feet, and the weight gain I am no longer feeling spunky, sexy, and cute. Sarah Any advice please contact at firstname.lastname@example.com
My husband has found me very attractive since I've been pregnant, though my sex drive has been terrible. I'm walking evidence of his virility; what's not to like about that for him?
I love being pregnant, I have never felt sexier. I am pregnant with my second child and I feel great and really love all my curves and my husband does too. I love to wear any thing that shows off my belly. I get so many complements of how I make such a beautiful pregnant women. It really makes me feel good. I will miss the belly (and the boobs) when it's gone.
This is my 3rd pregnancy and the only one that I've felt sexy in. The father of my previous 2 children (my ex-husband) thought it was disgusting and would just make a lot of fat comments. My partner for this baby — rubs my belly all the time and kisses it and then runs his hand over me. He makes me feel so wanted and desirable and sexy. Its great.
As I was reading this, my hubby walked by so I asked him.."Am I sexy when I am pregnant?" He smiles and says…."I like your boobies" lol. Men. I feel sexier, more likely to get naked with the lights on, and just more comfortable in my own skin. I love that. My mother is always commenting on how beautiful I look…of course it is MY MOM, but she would also tell me if I looked horrible, sooo I believe her. Pregnant women ARE beautiful…even when we feel tired and huge. There is nothing more beautiful and sexy than being the sole supporter of your babys life. 2 more months for me and I plan on smiling the whole way to the end. (Baby #3, so I am no newbie..lol)
I too feel sexy!!! Glad to hear so many others agree! I am 32 weeks today and I am still sporting my heels and little dresses. I am getting hit on more now than before I was pregnant. I feel womanly and empowered and very beautiful. It helps to have the perfect man who cant help but SHOW me how sexy he thinks I am.
I was confortable with my athletic/toned body before pregnancy (and the daily routine that kept me that way). Even if my BD says I "look great pregnant" I still have a hard time believe that I look sexier then before I was preggo.
i felt somewhat sexy beofre with my other pregnantcies, but this one….well my hubby is like a freaking twig and here i am all starting to get big and round…i was nice size before pregnant. i loved it…now that everything doesnt fit and i feel use less…lol i actually hide from my hub, like we always got showers together, now i jump in and out before he has a chance to figure out im in the shower.
This is my first pregnancy and i admit i definitely didnt feel sexy AT ALL in the beginning. now that im about 8 months i've been feeling a little better about my big belly now. I still have guys that try to hit on me so it builds my confidence, then once i tell them im engaged and 8 months pregnant they walk the other way, and im perfectly ok with that! But its just nice to know that other ppl still think i look somewhat decent. and fiance doesnt mind the changed to my body either. it does make for bigger boobs and in my case hips n bum! just hope the baby weight isnt too hard to lose after!
i totally feel like pregnancy is sexy lol. i get flirted with all the freakin time. at first i was thinking these men are crazy. but now i think it's just that pregnancy is like the ultimate state of womanhood! it's hot! and men appreciate your fertility and sexuality. besides, their catcalls are totally benign at this point- both parties know they won't get anywhere lol. i think it's fun. and i definitely dress the part. why hide it?
I am 20 weeks pregnant (about 5 months) and do not feel sexy at all. All the aches and pains I feel most of the time, make it hard to feel sexy, and my boyfriend doesn't help that much either. People compliment me on my beutiful skin, but never on my "sexiness". All of you that do feel sexy, you are so lucky!!!!
Am 7 Months into my pregnancy and i feel wonderful. Many women tend to get bloated but luckily am feeling great and feeling sexy with the belly sticking out. I often get hit on how wonderful i look which makes me feel even better (even if they lie) but i cant wait till the baby is born expected 8/24/09.
Though I am just starting to show at 5 months I feel so in touch with my body. Before I had a tiny waist DD breasts and a huge ass…Pregnancy has now given me a reason to have all this and still be sexy.
I'm only 20 and at 16 weeks with my first baby. I'm a naturally small person, 5'1″, 96lbs, so I already have a nice little bump going on but I hate it. I have terrible self-esteem now. I'm terrified of the stretch marks and saggy skin afterwards. I feel like the 20's are a woman's best years for looking young and energetic and sexy. I hate all the side affects of being pregnant and how it makes me feel emotionally and physically. But, my boyfriend does love it. He's always rubbing my belly and kissing it and loves to see me in "mommy" clothes that show my bump. He gets excited just rubbing our growing baby… So I guess regardless of how I feel, someone still thinks I'm sexy…
At 29 weeks pregnant, I'm enjoying having some curves vs. the beanpole boyish figure I used to have. It's nice to have enough of a chest to actually have cleavage! Unfortunately, my husband is totally freaked out by my pregnant body. He truly does not want to touch me, and he has declared that doing so would make him feel as if he's "cheating with someone else's boobs!"
I don't understand guys who don't think pregnant women are beautiful and/or sexy. To those of you who have encountered such a view: ignore them. You *are* beautiful. You *are* sexy. [Trust me on this. I'm a man and I approve this message.]
Well, My first pregnancy I don feel sexy At All!! I mean I used to be this slim and confident lady and suddenly I bloated up so much that i even hated to look in the mirror. But right now my second pregnancy, I simply love everything abt being pregnant. I even pampered myself to long showers and scrubs so that i smell good. and i never looked better in dresses…
My husband thinks I'm sexy… he won't leave me alone! My boobs are huge, I don't know what to do with them, they're all over the place. I miss my pre-pregnancy boobs, I'm having a hard time understanding why any woman would get implants. But I would say that I do feel beautiful- not sexy so much, but I think I look good pregnant. I mean, what's the alternative- feel ugly, fat, & crappy for 9 mos? Not happening.
I am 32 weeks pregnant and I do not feel sexy! At all! I believe that I am still beautiful and also now in a different way than before. I was a knock out. My fiance could not keep his hands off of me. Now I have cellulite, my perfect boobs now have stretch marks, and it is impossible to enjoy sex with this big belly. I can't wait to have my baby girl and get my body and sex life back.
I wasn't "small" to begin with, and being pregnant as an obese woman has some challenges. However, I have always felt sexy and confindent with my body, and my husband is crazy about my even larger, curvacious body even more now that I am pregnant. He can't get enough "hands on" time with rubbing my belly, massive EE sized boobs and giving me foot rubs! I love the extra attention from him too, and enjoy the fact that I am using my female body for its intended purpose…….pro-creation.
Beautiful, natural, sexy – I feel whole and complete! Now I finally have an excuse for carrying a few extra pounds around my middle & I'm not going to worry about sucking it in anymore! I feel like my boobs are spilling over out of my bras, but my husband loves them. He is always rubbing my belly and talking to the baby – we can't wait until we feel it move! This time is too new and exciting to feel bad about your body: It's your only time to gain weight and not feel guilty about it – live it up!
i was very thin before i got pregnant. i think i wore a size 3 and im 5'6. i was more uncomfortable with the way i looked then than i am now. im 24 weeks and have gained about 24 pounds. everyone tells me i look better and healthier than i did before. i've never been so comfortable with my body.
I've felt the sexiest DURING my pregnancies. It was during those times that I could wear fitted shirt and didn't have to worry about a belly! I had a beautifully shaped tummy and couldn't find a thing wrong with my body – i had an excuse!
34 Weeks and feeling hot! I admit when my belly started growing and my hubby would grab it I felt uncomfortable (I wasn't used to having extra around the middle for him to hang on to). But now I love when he touches me, and the other day I thought of how I'm going to miss being pregnant–it's definitely been an adventure for our sex life!
I didn't feel very attractive until recently since I am finally beginning to show! My hubby loves my pregnant body even more than before! He's constantly touching me & telling me how beautiful I am & can't wait for baby to arrive!!
I wouldnt say i feel sexy…i love being pregnant but my face has gotten very blochy and ance prone. i have always had clear skin so this bothers me a lil bit. I also find it hard to be sexy when i am pushing 200lbs and look like freddy kruger has attack my belly lol. like i said i love being pregnant, i love the fact that i am growing a lil human life in me. I just dont feel as sexy or as attractive as i used to. If you ask my husband he will tell you i look beautiful.
Well, I decided to text my baby daddy regarding this matter and ask him his opinion and it was a Yes, he does think pregnancy is sexy. I am 12 weeks and only showing a little, and certain hours of the day….which is confusing for me. I am not feeling "sexy" yet, but I do believe that pregnancy is a very beautiful time in a womans life and we definately look sexy once our bellies are showing and our faces are glowing!! No woman should feel ugly or unsexy during pregnancy, if anything feeling tired and useless is fine but ugly never. Pregnancy is proof that we are fertile sexy strong creatures!
I am a 23 year old Mom, pregnant with my 3rd baby. Some days, I feel sexy as all getout. Some days, the exhaustion and heartburn, and aches are enough to make me want to hide out. But, while it's great to feel sexy, it's more important to realize that you are just proving what your body can do. Giving birth to a human being after having carried, nutured, and loved that human for 9 1/2 months is AMAZING!!! Children are a blessing and should be viewed as such, during pregnancy and after. Your babies are part of you and are amazing miracles. It is AWESOME to think that conception begins life. WOW.
I have not felt sexy and most likely will not. I have stretch marks and a big belly how is that sexy? I'm tired all the time aching plus the nausea how can any pregnant woman feel sexy when you feel like puking. More power to you feeling sexy i just don't think i will ever feel sexy. I think pregnancy is incredible especially how life can be formed inside you. Some people don't stop to think how amazing it is to have another human being inside you growing. It is a gift from GOD.
I have, since I was in my late teens, found pregnant women extraordinarily sexy! Everytime a pregnant woman walks in the room, my head can't help but whip around as I check her out from head to toe. My wife is now 4 months pregnant with our first child, and I have never been more emotionally or physically attracted to her than I am right now. So… To all you women who think your sex appeal is gone because you're pregnant – think again!
It seems to be one end or the other with people on this topic. I personally find pregnancy to be very sexy, and felt way more sexy while I was pregnant.
I def think pregnancy is sexy. I have never felt so free about my body as I do now. I still have some insecurites (my skin broke out horribly) but, men def find it attractive and my boyfriend can't keep his hands off of me, and the funny thing, is I always want to be with him too.
My husband tells me everyday how sexy he thinks I am. I am only 5 1/2 months right now, but the bigger my belly gets, the more he tells me. He can't keep his hands and kissy lips off my baby bump. I definitely agree that it is freeing because I am far less critical of how i look in things. I just feel lucky to have a partner who is so enamoured by my growing body and the process we are going through together.
I personally feel like a fat cow but my husband thinks me being pregnant is sexy. He's always talking to Wyatt (aka my tummy) and telling him he has a pretty mommy. This is our first child and I'm pretty sure that alone makes him think I'm sexy.

March 15, 2010
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Peter Graves, star of the television series "Mission Impossible" and the "Airplane" films, has died.
Graves' publicist, Sandy Brokaw, says the actor died Sunday shortly after returning to his Los Angeles home from brunch with his family. He was 83.
Graves was best known for his portrayal of Jim Phelps, leader of a gang of special agents who battled evil conspirators in the long-running television series "Mission: Impossible."
Normally cast as a hero, he turned in an unforgettable performance early in his career as the treacherous Nazi spy in Billy Wilder's 1953 prisoner-of-war drama "Stalag 17."
He also masterfully lampooned his straight-arrow image when he portrayed bumbling airline pilot Clarence Oveur in the 1980 disaster movie spoof "Airplane!"

Solar Quiche to Go
Make these delightful portable breakfast muffins your own by using your favorite add-ins with the eggs. Any kind of vegetable can be used and the bacon can be replaced with ham or cooked sausage. They keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days and are great for meals on the go. I like to serve them for dinner with a bowl of tomato soup and a salad.
Sunny Savory Quiche Muffins
5 slices cooked bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (10 biscuits)
6 eggs
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed, excess water squeezed out
Set Sun Oven out to preheat. Spray the indentations of 10 muffin cups with cooking spray.
In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Flatten the biscuits into 5-inch rounds and line the muffin tins. Top the biscuits with silicone baking molds. Start baking the biscuit shells in the Sun Oven while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the chopped bacon, sautéed onions, cheese, and frozen spinach. Season to taste with salt. Remove the biscuits from the Sun Oven. Remove the silicone molds and carefully spoon the egg filling into the shells. Do not over fill*. Return the muffin pans to the Sun Oven and continue baking until the egg fill is set and the shells are golden brown, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
Set pans on a rack a let cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife along the sides of each muffin and remove the tins. Serve warm or at room temperature.
*Trust me on this, you do not want to clean cooked egg off the bottom of your Sun Oven. If you have too much filling use the empty indentations to make one or two crustless pies.
Solar Samosa Pie
The savory vegetarian filling in this pie can be served on its own as a side dish. Just add the peas about five minutes before taking the pot out of the Sun Oven. Traditional pie crust can also be used in place of the filo dough.
Sun Oven Samosa Pie
2 tablespoons butter
2 russet potatoes (about 1-pound), peeled and diced
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Solar Sweet Potato Quiche
The recipe I used for Wednesday's pie left me with a quite a bit of extra dough. If I'd left it in the freezer I'm sure it would have wound up pushed to the back and forgotten, so today I put it to good use with some of the other Thanksgiving Day leftovers and make some quiche. After consulting a few different recipes online I decided to wing it. First I baked the crusts (in the Sun Oven, of course) then filled the individual tart pans with a mixture of 4 eggs, about 2/3 a cup of mashed sweet potato, cooked chopped swiss chard, some crumbled cooked bacon, and grated Parmesan cheese. Then back to the Sun Oven to bake until the filling was set. The four pans would fit on the leveling tray, but for easier handling, and better air flow, I used two of the dehydrating racks as pictured below.
Savory Pie To Go
I baked this savory pie for our packed lunch recently when we were out and about from early morning until late evening. On days like that I don't get any kind of cooking done. It was very filling and easy to eat on the go. I can see why British miners took savory pies with them to work in the mines; they're even easier to eat than a sandwich.
Solar Cheese and Onion Pie
Purchased or homemade pie dough for a 9-inch pie, top and bottom.
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
1/4 pound potatoes, peeled, diced, and steamed
Sunny Peach Cobbler
This biscuit-like topping can be used with any cobbler filling. Use a cookie cutter shape that reflects the occasion.
Sun Oven Peach Cobbler
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 pounds peaches, pitted and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pasta Pie Update
Well it turns out that as much as I love them both, combining pasta and pie may not be the best idea. I'm not really surprised, even in Italy it's not a very popular dish. I may play with the concept in the future.
I'd like to come up with a savory pie that has an Italian flavored filling, but given the high calorie content of pie crust (which came out incredibly good for this pasta pie) it will probably be a while before I tweak this recipe. I'm thinking along the lines of a vegetable filling, maybe tomatoes, eggplant and zucchini, and less pasta.
Click here for my first pasta pie post.
The Best of Two Worlds
Pie and Pasta. My two favorite foods. Well, in Italy they do make pasta pie. I never really thought of it as such, in Italian it's called Pasticcio or Timballo depending on the region, and it's not baked in pie tins so it has a different shape, but it's pasta baked in a crust or in other words, pie. In Italy you're most likely to find it in the Emilia-Romagna region during carnivale. It's served at room temperature so it's good for picnics or potlucks and just so happens that I'm going to a get-together tomorrow so I thought I'd surprise everybody with this unusual savory treat.
I don't really have a recipe for the pie, in fact today is the first time I've ever made one. The crust is plain old American pie crust and the for the filling I used about 8 ounces of macaroni, a cup or so of my Solar Sugo al Pomodoro, some freshly grated Parmesan cheese, cherry sized pieces of mozzarella, frozen peas, and fresh basil. Once the pie was assembled I popped it in the Sun Oven for about an hour. We haven't actually tasted it yet, I'll let you know how it came out.
Savory Solar Pumpkin Pudding
This is a bit of a project. The onions need to cook for quite a long time, but, as with most solar cooking, you'll be able to go about you business while they simmer away. If pie pumpkins aren't available, use butternut squash, it works just as well. It can also be used as a filling for a savory pie. The pumpkin onion mixture is also good on it's own.
Savory Solar Pumpkin Pudding
(adapted from "Savory Roasted Pumpkin Pie" New York Times Nov. 4 2008)
2 small pie pumpkins or 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeds discarded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Solar Pie
Pie is one of my favorite things. Whenever I go on a road trip I plan my pit stops around Mom n' Pop eateries that bake their own. My dream job is to become the traveling pie critic for the New York Times. But I only step up to the challenge of creating my own crust once or twice a year, so the first time I baked a pie in my Global Sun Oven I did so with a bid of hesitation. It's such a special occasion food that I didn't want to take any risks; I'm glad I did.
Solar baking is perfect for pies. The crust comes out golden and flaky and if the filling bubbles over, as it alway seems to do for me, clean up is a cinch. Just use a garden hose to wash out the cooking chamber after it cools down. Currently my favorite pie crust recipe is Martha Stewart's all butter crust. Click here for her recipe.
Solar Biscuit Topped Turkey Potpie
In theory potpie filling is made with leftovers but I've never had enough excess meat and the inkling for potpie at the same time. If you have a lot of chicken or turkey meat on hand go ahead and skip the first part of this recipe. Potpie does not make regular appearances on our dinner table so I don't have a go to recipe. When I do get a craving for it I thumb through my cookbooks and scour the internet for recipes that look appealing. This one uses the filling; with a few of my own touches; from one and the biscuit crust from another. If you want to make both the broth and the pie on the same day you'll have to get an early start but it can be done. I like making the broth the day before and refrigerating it overnight; that way it's easier to skim the fat off the top. It's a hybrid recipe, the broth is solar cooked, the filling is not, then the pie is solar baked.
Solar Baked Turkey and Biscuit Potpie
For the broth
1 onion, cut into large wedges
2 carrots, scrubbed and cut into large pieces
1 stalk celery, cut into large pieces

Re "Facing Suit, County to Remove Seal's Cross," June 2: So, the L.A. County supervisors caved in and decided to remove a "tiny gold cross" on the county seal under threat of lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union. This threat is blackmail. The ACLU had no complaint until some anonymous bellyachers, who were not harmed in any way, brought up the issue. This was on the heels of a similar incident in Redlands.
Were the ACLU to be any other kind of organization, its actions would be properly viewed as racketeering. It represents tyranny by the minority over the majority. Has the ACLU nothing left to worry and fight about?
Charles Vorsanger
The ACLU has saved me money. I was annoyed by the story, and all the fuss the ACLU has made over the L.A. County seal. Fortunately, the story came only one day after I received a dues renewal request from the ACLU. This kind of "time on my hands, who can I sue" mentality would be a waste of my retirement dollars. Thank you, ACLU; the check is not in the mail.
Kenneth Hahn

If the ACLU doesn't like the nod to our history on the seal, then have it foot the bill for the county to have all the new letterhead, signage in meeting rooms, repainted cars, etc.

Don't cheat just leave him that's the far thing to do.if he ever finds out it will destroy him
Leave him? You're an idiot. The people that get so uptight about sex being between husband and wife only are the same people who bitch about having a boring sex life after marriage. There's a difference between fucking and making love. Married people make love but should be free to fuck others with each other's knowledge. It's just sex. Why is it such a big deal? She obviously loves her husband and is happy with him but the poor bastard can't give her a basic human need. She has two options. Be honest with him and see what they can work out together or keep cheating discretely. Obviously the first is the better option and if he's a real man, after his feelings are done being hurt he'll do whatever he has to in order to satisfy her, even if all else fails and it comes to him letting her stray. If he wants to be a pansy about it than he deserves to be cheated on and she should do it. She's a good wife who loves him but she deserves to be satisfied too. If he can't do it and won't work with her it's his fault and I hope she keeps getting away with it. Personally, I think she should make this same confession to his brother and a good brother would fuck her to keep her satisfied but safely with someone she can trust. He would also be able to keep it in check so she didn't get out of hand and fall for someone else. As she said, it's strictly sexuak between those two.
I have f***** 2 brothers and their dad; not at the same time but at different times... with the dad being the last and the best f*** of my entire life. Anytime that 60yo calls and tells me he is h**** I get wet - instantly.
Your neighbor that he dated was a nasty skank yet your the one f****** his brother while being married to him? Your both skanks lol
Hey snapchat me girl at gbro7
How come a woman that cheats is the worst person in the world worst than a child rapist, but a guy cheats then its like "hey the wife of the guy deserved it she wasnt pleasing him the husband couldnt help himself" id stab the b**** my husband f***** and id make my husbands life living hell.
Hi, I have a solution to this issue. I have seen something very similar. Mail me on dcostator - this is a google mail account. Cheers! D
YOu don't want to be a cheating w****? You already are a cheating w****.
Here is a tip. Stop being a f****** w****. Problem solved.
Ok, here it is. Leave your husband ASAP. Why? Because you don't really love him. If you truly loved him the size of his d*** wouldn't mean anything. I don't know why you think you do, there are many possible reasons (familiarity, afraid of being alone, etc.). But the truth is (with the only exception being family), that if you don't have respect for someone, you don't love them. And you're being very disrespectful of your husband, whether he knows about it or not. And the last is for you. You neither love nor respect yourself. That's why you're risking a relationship you think you're a part of.
You people are all morons. Sexual satisfaction is a basic human need. Contrary to popular belief, it IS possible to fall in love with someone who can't satisfy you sexually and when that happens, they should talk about it but most don't and instead turn to cheating which is only a bad thing because their partner wasn't given a chance first. As for the actual act of having sex, lighten up. It's just sex. If he can't do it for her, they can still have a happy loving relationship but he needs to make sure she's satisfied, and if he can't do it that means letting someone else.
It's so hard to know what to say because you feel guilty, but you still want to do it. I know it is incredibly hard when your spouse can't do it. I've had some awful medicine that makes me lose it a lot but my wife really wants to remain faithful, so I finish her off. I'm thinking of getting off this medicine just so I can satisfy her again. Again, I'm so sorry! I'm not really sure what you should do, but the guilt is harder to deal with for me. I did some things with another married woman once and it has really damaged our relationship long-term. Maybe talking to your ecclesiastical leader, if you have one, or someone else, could help.
You are calling your ex neighbor a skank...now you are one.
There's nothing wrong with f****** his brother, or even having an affair for that matter. You should just go talk to your brother in law, tell him you want to use him for his huge d*** and that nothing more will come of it. You love your husband, that's great, but that doesn't mean you have to doom yourself to a life of endless sexual satisfaction, you need to be satisfied too.
Yu need to get a divorce, then you'd have sex with anybody you want to, unless you don't work, you need a place to stay, think before you act, there are lots of sexual diseases out there, would you want to give your husband a disease, like AIDS and hepatitis C, there are lot more out there, you think the guy going to tell you he have that, no he won't, if left up to you?
Cll me
I you aren't getting what you need at home, you have to go elsewhere to get it. That's not a choice, and it doesn't matter what other people want to call it. You have to go elsewhere. Stop with the on-again, off-again relationship with the brother-in-law, and stop vacillating about f****** him. He's there. You want him. He wants you. You're GREAT together. f*** him. Constantly.
Gd that is an exciting arrangement and exciting circumstances. you should totally keep the affair going and even ramp it up!
Fr what its worth i like the relationship youve developed with the brother and i realy think it should continue permanently. i think if you let yourself think of the cheating as being fun and let yourself realy realy realy get into it you would love cheating and would cheat even more than you already are. dont let the brother get out of your life or out of your bed. be careful be discreet and be aware but dont be without that d*** the man has. get on that m************ thing and stay on that m************ thing permanently. your a woman with needs and you should be having those needs met by a man who can meet them. your husband isnt that man. his brother is that man. dont let this opportunity just sit there next door and go unexplored and untapped. get that man and f*** him and keep on f****** him.
Well things have been different between brother and me every since that last time when we fucked. I think he felt just as guilty as I did. I know he did. And im sure still does, as do I . He works all the time and when he isnt working, he doesnt spend much time at home. When he is home, I only know it because I can see his truck in his driveway. I never see or talk to him anymore. I think his guilt probably causing him to avoid me. Which, is fine by me because anytime I have been around him, it just reminds me of what happened and makes me feel bad all over again. I cant believe I did that. I slept with his brother, after we married, in our bed. I say that I would do it again, but really its more like I like to fantasize that I would, but really I probabably wouldnt. It made me feel so horrible. I had never cheated on any one before untill these 2 brothers came into my life. I have been married once before and I was miserable (not because of sex) and I didnt cheat on him. Maybe because I never had an opportunity to. But I would like to think thats not true. I truelly believe it is wrong and I know I could never keep an affair going and not feel guilty about it. I would never be able to truely enjoy good sex if I had that guilt hanging over my head.
Kll yourself.
How about oral sex? Maybe with the proper training and encouragement you can develop that aspect with your husband? Maybe he can be your own private sex slave.... Or.... work some dirty talk about fantasies into your sex life with your husband and eventually work it around to his brother (after all, he knows you two were together in the past). It can slowly morph into some kind of group thing with your husbands brother (and his girlfriend for your husband?). It would take some work, but that way you can have your cake and eat it, too. Hmmmm..... You really should not continue on with his brother in secret, when that kind of thing surfaces it won't be good, and the longer it goes on the worse it will be...... All these ideas are more work than just having spontaneous sex with your husband's brother, but you get a bigger pay off. Or you could just take the safe route and do nothing..... but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I have had this fantasy myself actually. Him allowing his brother to fuck me. He would never go for it though. And his brother doesnt have a girlfriend. Hasnt had one in the 6 years ive known him. He has some serious commitment issues. Thats partly why things never went any where between him and I back in the day. He only came to my apartment when he needed somebody to drink with or fuck. He made a point of making it very clear that he didnt want anything more than that from me or anybody else. And that seems to be the way he still is now, cuz he still hasnt had a girl friend since Ive known him. I know he did back in high school and college, but not since I met him. Anyways, I know he would never go for the threesome with his brother and I dont think anything else will happen between me and brother anyways. Hell I havnt even talked to him in 6 months probabbly and he lives next door!
Be a cheating w****. It's a lot more fun.!
Yu said that now, what happen your wife or husband cheating on you? what you said now, (what)???
I think the perfect solution to my problem would be finding a way to convince my husband to let somebody else fuck me while he watches or joins in. I would love that. I know he will never be able to satisfy me and i think he knows it too. I know its not his fault and I still love him, but I NEED SOME DICK DAMMIT! I feel like I know exactly what blue balls feels like, and Iv had it for 6 years now!! Surely, he cannnot expect me to just accept that I will never really be fucked again. I think he probably expects that I will cheat on him eventually. But thats really not what I want to do. How can I convince him to let another man inside me? How can I even approach the topic without him getting severly pissed off?
U can feel my dick I'll stretch it all the way open I mean it
Get him to have a three way with another girl and the girl uses a big strap on, one way to get it in his head that you want a bigger one
Ecuse me, but just exactly what the fuck are you saying? Wait...................never mind. Whatever you're saying isn't worth knowing.

The Kardashians
Soap Star in the Making? Kourtney Kardashian to Appear on One Life to Live
Are you ready for this, Tony and Tea fans? Kourtney Kardashian is slated to make her acting debut on One Life to Live in March 2011. ABC teased a few details of her scenes, spilling that she'll make a dramatic entrance with Christian Vega (David Fumero) and give troublemaker Blair Cramer (Kassie DePaiva) a run for her money.
The oldest Kardashian sister, who will play a sexy lawyer, is already a die-hard OLTL fan. "I grew up watching One Life to Live," said Kourtney. "I hear I get into some trouble, and I am looking forward to it. This may be my acting debut but the Kardashians know a thing or two about drama." Understatement of the year, Kourt.
If you can't wait to see the drama mama stir the pot on OLTL in March, you can catch her cameo before that on Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

A silicon based foundation also makes your makeup last longer. Picking the right color of foundation is also hard, so the best way is to test it out on your neck instead of on your face so that your neck and face match. Rub in the foundation a little bit to get a truer color. SPF in foundation is an added bonus. 30 to 45 SPF is the best for foundations. Apply lotion to your skin so that your makeup will set in.

|26 plurality voting
|4 nominated
|Meeting place
Leh is one of the two districts located in Ladakh, the other being the Kargil District to the west, in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. With an area of 45,110 km2, it is the second largest district in the country (after Kutch, Gujarat) in terms of area. It is bounded on the north by Ghanche District (Gilgit-Baltistan), a small border with Xinjiang, China, via the Karakoram Pass which is part of the district. Aksai Chin and Tibet are to the east, Kargil district to the west, and Lahul and Spiti to the south. The district headquarters is based in Leh. It lies between 32 to 36 degree north latitude and 75 to 80 degree east longitude.
The whole of Ladakh was under the administration of Leh until July 1, 1979, when the Kargil and Ladakh administrative districts were created. Religion has been a source of grievances between Buddhists and Muslims since the late 20th century and was a contributor to this division.[1]
As of 2011 it is the second least populous district of Jammu and Kashmir (out of 22), after Kargil.[2]
According to the 2011 census Leh district has a population of 147,104,[2] roughly equal to the nation of Saint Lucia.[3] This gives it a ranking of 599th in India (out of a total of 640).[2] The district has a population density of 3 inhabitants per square kilometre (7.8/sq mi) .[2] Its population growth rate over the decade 2001-2011 was 25.48%.[2] Leh has a sex ratio of 583 females for every 1000 males,[2] and a literacy rate of 80.48%.[2]
According to the 2001 census of India, Leh district had a population of 117,232. Buddhists made up the majority at 77.3%, followed by Muslims at 13.8% and then Hindus at 8.2%.
Leh district consists of seventeen blocks: Nubra, Panamik, Khalsi (Khaltse), Saspol, Leh, Chuchot, Kharu, Durbuk, Nyoma,Turtuk, Wanla (Khalsi), Singay lalok, Rong HQ at Chumthang, Rupsho with Hq. at Puga, Skyurbachan, Thiksay, Nemo[4] Each block consists of a number of panchayats.
The district of Leh is subdivided into six tehsils:
- Nubra Tehsil
- Khalsi Tehsil
- Leh Tehsil
- Kharu Tehsil
- Durubk Tehsil
- Nyoma Tehsil
Leh District has two assembly constituencies: Nobra and Leh.[5]
Autonomous Hill Council[edit]
Leh District is administered by an elected body known as the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, Leh. The LAHDC was established in 1995.[6]

Medivka (Ukrainian Honey Liqueur) Questions
Hi Everyone,
While deciding on some holiday DIY projects, I stumbled across a recipe for Medivka in a 1978 cookbook published by the Ukrainian National Women's League of Cleveland, Ohio. This will be my first time attempting an infusion and am hoping that seasoned spirit makers can give me some tips on what to look out for. The recipe is:
1 C. dark honey with good flavor
1 1/4 C. Water
2 1/2-3 C. 100 proof vodka
peels of 1/2 orange and 1/2 lemon
3 whole cloves
1 whole allspice
1/8 of a whole nutmeg
1.Simmer peels and spices in water for 10-15 minutes
2.Add the strained water to honey, bring to simmer and skim the foam.
3.Warm the vodka slightly and add the honey syrup to it. Combine well, and filter through cotton.
4.Taste and add more vodka-personal preference
5.Keep in tightly closed bottles for at least a week
My biggest questions are:
1.How the heck do I measure an eighth of a nutmeg?
2.How should I tell giftees to store it?
3.Can I filter through a coffee filter?
4.Will it be cloudy? Is this normal?
I'm super excited about this project, as this cookbook is one of my favorites. Any advice on making sure it turns out perfect would be greatly appreciated.
re: sk202399
Grated nutmeg will be many times stronger than whole piece. I'd just grate in a 1/8 tsp max., basically a small pinch.
I would gently crack the allspice berry.
Don't crack clove.
Make sure you don't get too much white pith with the peels, it's bitter. Don't just peel the lemon/orange and throw it in. Don't peel too deep with your veggie peeler or with a sharp paring knife. A little pith is good, too much and it will be too bitter. Some bitterness will be good to offset the sweetness. You can easily go up to the amount of peel from one each of lemon and orange.
Make sure you gently simmer water with spices, ten minutes max. once it comes to a simmer, covered to prevent losing liquid.
Filter through coffee filter or paper towel in funnel.
Will be slightly cloudy even after filtering.
Don't "warm up" the vodka.
I would change the recipe to 1 cup water to 1 cup honey.
And 3 cups vodka.
This will keep at room temp. with no problem because it will be 60 proof with the changes I recommend.
re: JMF
I just filtered it one more time, and let me say, this is utterly wonderful, oh so smooth and delightful. I will definitely be making another batch or two to give when the holidays roll around this year. Thank you for posting it, justlauralibrarian! And thank you, JMF, for your excellent suggestions!
Thank you for posting this recipe! I just made a batch and it is resting in a couple of jars (I followed your basic recipe with JMF's suggestions, and it made 5 cups of medivka.) I am looking forward to sample of this next week, after it has finished resting. The aroma while it was simmering was lovely!
Wow, this is so sad. Laura, you posted in 2011, and no one replied until 2013.
I hope it turned out well.

Baldness, and particularly premature baldness, is a serious problem, and your article (16 June, p 44), reminded me of the grief that I suffered as a young man because of this affliction.
I started going bald in my early twenties in the 1950s, when "Teddy boys" and the likes of Elvis Presley made fancy and abundant hairstyles all the rage. For me it was a very, very traumatic time.
There is no clear and obvious evolutionary advantage to going bald, and there are many, some serious, disadvantages.
Therefore, the sooner a cure for this disfiguring affliction is found the better.

ABC7'S BRIAN van de GRAAFF Crisp start followed by a sunny and delightful afternoon…. Temperatures plummeted into the 30s overnight under clear skies…even downtown! We are expecting lots of sunshine today with temperatures still above average, into the middle 50s. But tomorrow, as the high pressure center moves out, our next storm system and cold front will approach. The result will be rapidly increasing cloudiness on Thursday with rain developing by the evening. The rain could be moderate at times through Thursday night with even some rumbles of thunder. By Friday, a strong cold front will cross our area and it will most definitely begin to feel like late December. Look for strong, gusty winds on Friday with partly sunny skies. A few flurries will be possible, especially north and west of Washington. (Higher elevations and the mountains are under a Winter Storm Watch for 6 + inches of snow!) Dry and seasonably cold weather is forecast for the weekend. Have a great day! Today: Sunny and Pleasant Highs: 52°-57° Wind: NW 5-10mph Overnight: Partly Cloudy, Cold Lows: 34°-40° Wind: Light Tomorrow: Mostly Cloudy, A Touch Cooler (Rain, Possibly Thunder, at Night) Highs: Near 50° Wind: SE 5-10 Friday: Mix Clouds and Sun, Windy & Much Colder (Few Flurries) Highs: Mid 40s Saturday: Partly Cloudy, Blustery Highs: Low to Mid 40s Sunday: Partly Cloudy, Not as Windy, Cool Highs: Mid to Upper 40s Yest.

Wow, rather uselessly vague. I see two primary threats:
#1) someone could easily sniff what you are doing, and those searches you
do might well reveal information about your client, what he is worried
about being charged with, or other information that might leak. Not
to mention what plausible defenses might be.
#2) Exposure to unencrypted internet that can be rather vulnerable to man
in the middle attacks, DNS spoofing, and related might lead to a
compromise of the laptop. Not to mention the possibility of theft.
#1 is really hard to protect against since it's out of your control, although
they might provide a connection where you could use a cable that would
decrease your exposure. I'd certainly discuss it with them, mention your
concern and ask if they support any kind of encryption. It's fairly common
for wifi networks to have secured and insecure access at the same time.
#2) Prudent measures would be whole disk encryption (to prevent information
leakage when stolen). Certainly patches should be regularly applied, and any
non-trust worthy software should be avoided. Certainly anything "free" and
not from a major company with a reputation to protect would be especially
suspect. So firefox, google earth, microsoft office... fine. Free sailboat
screensaver from some random website... not so good. I'd hope that sanity
would prevail and if you took reasonable steps to protect your communications,
laptop, and work environment you wouldn't be held liable.
You mentioned dual boot, will firefox under linux allow access to the library
resources you need? If so running a linux box with no ports open, running a
current firefox, and with reasonable user habits should be quite secure. Use
good passwords, don't share them between sites, and don't click on random
URLs, or open random attachments.

Well in the coffee shop example it's pretty much standard procedure for
anything important to go over a VPN. That means you need a VPN provider or to
do it yourself. This doesn't really help if you need to be in a library to
access content that is limited to the library.

Yes, if a hacker can access your machine he can access anything, not just what
you have open. It would be particular bad if for instance you exported a
fileshare designed to let a second machine at home access your home directory
without a password and left that configuration enabled while on any public

IMO hostbased firewalls offer very little protection, but if they reduce your
legal liability then by all means do it. Pretty much any firewall it turned
off by any of the popular malware if you happen to run it. So of course the
key is to not run any evil software. That means not responding to emails
claiming to show embarrassing videos of public figures, earthquake victims,
or pretty much anything that leads to opening a remote file. So browser
plugins, local apps, screen savers, cute little utilities, etc.

Do you have to use IE? My best guess is that they are recommending whole disk
encryption, I can't think of anything else that could reasonably be called an
encryption device.

SYDNEY—Nobuyuki Takai from Japan was having an interesting evening at the Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company's presentation of classical Chinese dance, music and technology.
Mr. Takai is the managing director of Shiseido, a global cosmetic company.
He said the combination of "motion picture and dance" was amazing and "very interesting."
Mr. Takai was aware that originally Japanese culture was influenced by Chinese culture.
"But today, I'm very impressed by the origin of what Chinese culture is—very impressive," he said, adding that he was "a bit surprised."
"Such a culture China has. That is amazing. Because I don't know where—we know only monkey dance. But that is totally different from what I know. That was amazing."
In the beloved Chinese novel, Journey to the West, , a legendary adventures of the infamous magical Monkey King and Pigsy is portrayed against the digitally projected scenes intrigued Mr. Takai.
"The combination of the motion picture and dance—the dance is also very speedy, and impressive. That is totally different from what I thought before."
The digital backdrop designs complement and synchronize all aspects of the performance: the characters, color of the costumes, specific dance movements, props, lighting, the story being told, particular notes played by the orchestra, and special audio effects, says the company's website.
Mr. Takai said he would encourage others to see a performance, "because it is different from the concept, perception of what I had before. Very different from what I thought."
