lol they are horrible looking arent they.
bulgar wheat is a whole grain, so is much higher in fibre than even whole grain rice. It is yummy and definately worth trying.
I made a stuffing for chicken with it once, was delcious:

We had a day trip to the US yesterday, first we went to just a general grocery store for basic’s and then we popped to a fab fresh produce market, I was in complete heaven looking at all the fruit and veg, and the deli section was amazing, with salad bar and breads (all of which I didn't touch of course). I did get a yummy selection of fruit and veg though before then popping to Trader Joes to pick up a few staples.
So here is my shopping list for this week. I didn’t need much in the way of meat, as I am still working my way through the stuff in my freezer.

you either need to upload them to a photo hosting site like photobucket, which will then give you an URL for the photo one uploaded.
or when doing a new post on here, go into the advance settings and under attachments, there is an option "manage attachments" which will allow you to select an image from your computer to attach to your post.
