  I used to be addicted to coffee as well. It was so bad that I can't function without coffee.
  
  What I did was I forced myself to go cold turkey during the school holidays. Boy was it terrible but I'm now no longer addicted to coffee
  
  I would say my current addiction would be to World of Warcraft. Haha

  I haven't started on the coffee yet, thankfully...don't plan to either.
  
  I can't help having yoghurt for breakfast whenever it's in the fridge though.

  Have u eaten Turkey porridge?? It's very yummy, much tastier than plain old shredded chicken porridge lehhh
  
  But... ... I also like crab, lamb, pork, mutton too..
  
  thankfully, I never got hooked on coffee... mebbe cos my nanny when I was young, used to put sweet black coffee in my milk bottle instead of milk (cos she lazy to make milk.. that time quality standards for nannies were more lax)... and ...when I grew older, i just simply never wanted to drink it anymore.

  maybe coz the taste is stronger and the meat is tougher.. it can withstand a lot more cooking.. chicken kinda falls apart after long cooking
  
  i like roast beef with mustard tho'

  Sorry to OT, do u have a cholesterol problem? I'm not trying to be preachy, but just wanna confirm that it's hereditary in some cases. I wonder how to lower it if the cause is hereditary?
  
  Meanwhile, I'm waiting for my blood test result.

  It can be a hereditary problem. There was actually an article in The Straits Times about 7-8 years ago that focused on the amusing fact that whilst two people may eat the same serving of der kah (pig trotters), one of them will metabolise the fat from it better than the other.
  
  Which means, some folks can eat cholesterol-laden stuff and literally get away with blue murder simply because their body systems are genetically wired to digest and metabolise it more efficiently.
  
  So, who says life is fair?!
