How did I lose intelligence?

A week ago exactly I read a chapter of my book chapter 4 of "Working Smarter" easily and took good notes. And 8 days ago I read chapter 3 of the same book no problem with and took notes. Today I couldn't get through chapter 5. It seemed like a sentence on each page I couldn't understand after I tried going over it many times. It felt almost too challenging for me tonight and I felt stupid. How could this be? Did I really get dumber?

Me and my best friend are making a bucket list for the 2K11 summer :)?

Always have a problem when making curry?

If it's too watery, take out the meat and boil it off until you have the right consistency, then add the meat back. If it's too dry just add a little boiling water to moisten it up a bit. Another way you could thicken it is to mix 1 tbsp of cornflour/cornstarch with 1tbsp of cold water in a cup then add this paste to your curry. Bring your curry to the boil for 1 minute and it will thicken up nicely. Good luck!

What is the recipe for a nut torte?

A while ago I got a book from the library called the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook, it was released in 2005 and is pink plaid. It was a special edition, and there was a recipe inside for a nut cake, not the German nut cake. I was wondering if anyone has it, I need to make it this Sunday since it is my mom's favorite cake. Please Help! Thank you

What is a good cookbook that uses only fruits and vegetables in its recipes?

(I am looking for one that does not use carbohydrates – bread, rice, etc. – and one that uses little to no meat. It can be a vegetarian cookbook, a vegan cookbook, a raw food cookbook, a diabetic cookbook, a diet cookbook, or a standard cookbook. I am, however, looking for one that does not require expensive equipment such as a dehydrator.)
