neadodsMini trampoline: Good low-impact workout, or disaster waiting to happen?
Also, I am in the market for a good, general cookbook (think "Joy of Cooking") for:
- Mediterranean Cooking (esp. Greece and Italy)
- Recipes for Lent
- Jewish cooking
Any recommendations?
I am trying to deal with the incredible paucity of fish and bean recipes in most "generican" cookbooks. Vegetarian cookbooks are slightly better. Slightly.

:P~ I meant the beans part there. There's pretty much one bean recipe in America: Baked beans. Which are good, but there must be more you can do with them.

I know, but loads of people mistakenly believe it's "font of all knowledge" not "fount" - don't ask me why!

Heh, fair enough. Sounds like you need a British vegetarian cookbook - I'm betting those have plenty of bean-related recipes in them since I know plenty of vegetarians who eat a lot of beans of many kinds...

I've got a couple of British "how to eat cheap" books, which are interesting, if involving a fair amount of math and translation. One thing that surprises me is that they both have moussaka in them, which is considered a complex regional dish here rather than something you whip up out of odds and ends.

Really? Interesting...
