I'll have to check into that, I wonder if they are cheaper at GNC here too. I need to find somewhere that sells CLA, maybe gnc does. I'm fresh out and wal-mart wants 13 dollars a bottle. Does GNC sell atkins vitamins? Theres a GNC about 8 minutes from me.

That stuff is the best! I topped mine with tomato slices, avacodo, onion, garlic, artichoke hearts and italian meatballs sliced in thin slivers. YUM!

I'm trying to talk myself into eating mushrooms. I've always avoided them cause my dad always said they were fungus and the livers of the earth cause they absorb toxins from the soil. Those comments never made them sound very appetizing but they look interesting and I think I unknowingly ate some on pizza once and liked it.

To bed I go....
