That's cool. I'm thinking about shopping for the items under 1K on my list...but I really want my slippers. Haha.

When you got it..flaunt it  

[Divash]

Personally, I think the probe/tip/zap buttons should come back. They should be in EVERY thread from now on, and once you've gotten your requisite amount (which should probably be increase), you should have the option of getting either a special item, a store item, or saving up your probes/tips/zaps in order to get an even bigger, better item.

When you got it... share it.  

[Divash]

Ahhh, much better. I feel more like myself, when I'm a human. Though, the alien look was kind of cool. I missed having my middle toes, though.

TEX-MEX SWEET- AND RED-POTATO SALAD
Weight Watchers info: 2 points for 3/4 cup
Weight Watchers TurnAround Program Cookbook, page 70-71, with modifications by Divash

1 pound Red Bliss potatoes, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1.5-inch cubes
spray-on olive oil for baking pan and skillet

2 onions, chopped

1 tablespoon fat-free or low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dijon or deli-style mustard
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preheat the oven to 425 Fahrenheit. Spray a large jelly-roll pan with olive oil spray. Arrange potato cubes in a single layer in the pan. Roast, tossing occasionally, until well browned and tender, 35-40 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

Meanwhile, spray a large nonstick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the potatoes.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Add to the potato and onions and mix well. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with two slices of ripe Roma tomato or a handful of halved cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes.

FORBIDDEN FRUIT SALAD
Divash's original recipe
Weight Watchers Info: 2 points per 1 cup serving
Named because all the fruits in it are 'credited' with being the fruit that grew on the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden.

5-6 large sweet apples (I use Jonagold), cut into 1/4 inch cubes
the seeds of 1 medium pomegranate
2-3 large cucumbers OR 3-4 pears, seeded and cut into 1/4 inch cubes
4-5 fresh figs, quartered lengthwise (dried figs are not an option here; leave them out if you can't find figs, or substitute 1/2 halved green seedless grapes)
1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger, minced finely
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon freshly ground or cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Toss delicately but thoroughly. Garnish with a sprig of some fresh herb that looks sexy on the plate.
