Hey, if you're gonna know what I'm wearing, you might as well know what I'm eating.
I'm having garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Not the most healthful meal, I know... but it sure is darn tasty! Posted by MLLASH on :
Spinach is good for you, creamed or otherwise.
Me? Tonight I had a massive box of Chinese Buffet takeout.
I ate so much I passed out for 2 hours!

I am like, SUCH a TOTAL COW!!!
Today for breakfast, I had 4 BREATH MINTS! *exasperated huff*
At lunch, I had 2 sticks of sugarless gum! *embarassed coo*
During cheerleader practice, I drank not one but TWO bottles of water! *ashamed sigh*
I had to skip diner after all that! *tee hee!* I was SO full!

I just finished a glass of orange juice and a bowl of cinnamon marshmallow Scooby-Doo! cereal with milk. That should tide me over until, oh, 10:00 a.m. or so...

I love spinach. It's a wonder my forearms aren't the size of Popeye's.
And I love Chinese Buffet takeout, especially the ones that have a huge selection with seafood and sushi. The quality's usually only fair, but the selection is great and the prices can't be beat.
Posted by Stu on :
There's not a whole helluva lot in my kitchen. It was a choice between some ice cream that's been in the freezer for way too long (and is consequently gummy and gross) or more cereal.

Freedom muffins, toasted.
(They used to be "English muffins" around here. I got so pissed off, however, at the idiots who changed the names of "French toast" and "French fries," due to the recent war, that I decided a turnabout on the Land of the Labour Party Poodle was fair play. ...

Mercifully, the in-laws are cooking tonight for my brother-in-law's birthday, so it's chicken and dumplings for me tonight.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" indeed!
I'm about to have a bacon, egg, and cheese McGriddle from McDonald's (it's probably kinda cold, since it's been sitting in a bag on the kitchen counter for a while now). McGriddles are kinda tasty, although I think I'd usually choose a biscuit sandwich instead 70% of the time when given the choice.

What is Elfo Special you ask? Well, I'm glad you asked.
Elfo Special comes from Memphis-based Italian Restaurant overlord GRISANTI'S family recipes.
You take your angel hair, see? You sautee your mushrooms, see? You sautee your shrimp, see? Then you put the garlic butter, mushrooms and shrimp on your angel hair, see? Then you cram it down your pie-hole as if you haven't eaten in 4 days. MMMMMMM MMMMMM!!

Probably not of interest if you're not into the food for health thing. McDougall developed a no-fat vegan diet for degenerative disease, allergies, weight loss - similar to Mirkin/Pritikin/ and a few others I can't remember right now. With a name like mine, you've got to figure I know every diet invented since 1950.
I don't know what's for supper, but I'm friggin' starving. I've got to start bringing a lunch or something. mrs. matlock's off to the store after work; we've had nothing in the house but ground beef for weeks. I'm dying for some chicken, or pork chops or pigs feet, anything but ground beef.
Just kidding about the pigs feet, that's just revolting. Feet from a jar, who thought that was a good idea?
Posted by Varalent on :
Well, I don't know. I'm not a fan of pigs feet but if I were going to have them I'd much prefer they came from a jar instead of from the ground!
Posted by matlock on :
Maybe fresh from the meat counter, next to the ox-tails and chitlin's?
Nope, still revolting.

Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke (from Coca-Cola) are nice, but nothing beats real fountain-made flavored cola.
There's a diner near me where they'll put cherry, vanilla, or chocolate syrup in Coke, which is a real treat. (They also have egg creams.) Mmmmm!

Absolutely!
The only chain I know that still does this is Bob's Big Boy. (Frisch's to Midwesterners)
Great stuff.
Posted by Stu on :
Bob's Big Boy really brings back a lot of memories for me.
Other than their food, I think it was the free Bob's Big Boy comics that helped get me into the "real" thing... who knew that Big Boy, gal-pal Dolly, and faithful dog Nugget could get into so much trouble?
Posted by Danny Blaine on :
Steak and Shake does the fountain vanilla cokes too!

I still think Coke should have gone with Chocolate Coke as their second flavored-cola product... Vanilla Coke's nice and all, but who doesn't love chocolate?
I don't think there are any Steak 'n Shakes near me, unforunately... Posted by Danny Blaine on :
Believe it or not I don't like chocolate...
Well, I don't like Chocolate Cake or Ice Cream. I do like chocolate bars though.
I prefer vanilla regardless...
Posted by Stu on :
How sad. I've had brown sugar/cinnamon Pop-Tarts for dinner three nights in a row.
The last two 'Tarts I'm popping in the freezer (of all places!) per the suggestion on the box. I guess it's kind of like the idea of freezing Thin Mints, huh? (NOT my favorite Girl Scout Cookie, by the way -- that honor would have to go to Samoas.)
Posted by Varalent on :
Frozen Pop Tarts are great! It's been years since I've had any though so could you save one for me? Posted by Stu on :
Will do!
(And here I thought freezing Pop-Tarts was some totally new fad cooked up by the folks at Kellogg's! )
Posted by Stu on :
While we're on the topic of Pop-Tarts -- for the longest time (until I was 11 or 12, probably), I thought that Pop-Tarts couldn't be eaten unless they had been toasted first -- as though they were raw or something. Duh!!! Posted by Outdoor Miner on :

I quit Pop-Tarts as part of a dietary shift. I miss the Chocolate Vanilla Cremes, but I think those were being phased out anyway.

The Chocolate Vanilla Cremes were my favorite. I'll definitely miss 'em. (And as much as I like 'em, S'mores is a poor replacement...) Posted by Varalent on :

You could call in an order to the nearest city to you with one and take the Greyhound bus there. Your order might be up by then. Good food... looooooong sloow wait time.
We're having random leftovers tonight... spaghetti and pork chops and whatnot. I'm pretty darn hungry now that I think about it. I think I will get me a bag of Muncho's for the commute home and maybe some swiss cake rolls. I always get snack crazy on payday.

Last night I made a ragout of red onions, fennel, zucchini, tomatoes -2 varieties, basil and parsley (all from my garden) plus, red & yellow peppers, garlic, canellini beans, and veggie sausage. Poured it over brown rice and topped it with Parmesan. It was particularly good if I do say so myself and I will be eating it for lunch today as well.
I've been trying to make up new recipes to deal with all the produce I'm getting out of my garden. If anybody has any suggestions about what to do with about 5 pounds of Swiss Chard, I'm willing to listen.
For breakfast I had Greek style yogurt with fresh blueberries and my co-worker brought me a blueberry corn muffin. I'm full of antioxidants now, which is good because I had a little too much to drink last night.

The secret to not stressing out over a wedding, which is basically a big commercialization of a decision that the parties involved have already made in their hearts, is to elope. Then, a year later, have a big 'wedding' on your first anniversary with cake and bridesmaids and all that stuff. Keeps the stress of planning some enormous party / event away from the actual happy day which should be, ideally, all about you and that special someone, and not about putting some caterer's kid through college.

Er...perhaps you should have shared this idea with the Cobester about a YEAR ago, Set? It's a little late, now! Posted by Cobalt Kid on :

I remember a while back, when you said you were eating only lean chicken breasts and spinach, or some similar diet that seemed really hardcore.
I was really hard core in 2006 for about 8 months, and ended up losing close to 40 pounds. It was the best shape I'd been in since high school (my g/f even thought maybe I was losing too much weight). But the problem with eating like that is it basically sucks . Also, I was doing it with my brother, who is in phenominal shape, and we lived together too, so we'd eat together everyday.
I started to put weight back on once I proposed, moved and 1,000 other excuses (some pretty good, some maybe not). Now I've kind of hit another point where I'm coming back down again slightly, but I've got a long way to go. I go to the gym 3 times a week, but I haven't eaten healthy in awhile. I'm hoping to get back to it.
One of the problems was that once I got skinny I thought it would be good to try and pack on muscle. And that worked for awhile, but eventually when I stopped going hardcore, the additional muscle mass turned out to be a burden. I won't make that mistake again.
Still, my weight has always gone up and down my whole life. I long for the days of high school and college when I was an athlete and in great shape. Still, I didn't have as much fun then as I do now Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Also, now that I live with my g/f (soon to be wife), she basically eats whatever she wants and has been skinny her entire life. She's in good shape and only in recent years has started to work out.
All I care about is having a skinny face and flat stomach. I've always had big shoulders and arms. I don't even need to be chisselled, I just want to fill out a suit spectacularly Posted by Pov on :

Isn't that a sign of chronic masturbation? Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
I thought that was big forearms? Depends on how you do it I guess
(Hm, a topic that does not mix well with eating)

Hmmm...would it be me vs. Pov for title of "LW's Biggest Perv"? And, if so, who'd win? Posted by Iron Rat on :

Why, Perverty Lad, of course! Posted by Iron Rat on :
I just had some leftover Malaysian food for lunch. I don't remember what it was called, but it's some kind of fish or shrimp cake, with rice and vegetables.

I had a Filet-O-Fish with a double fish filet for lunch. Thanks, HWW!

Last night a typical "still in college mode dinner": lean pockets and a can of chili. Cooking and Cobie do not mix. I need Lady Cobalt to take care of me!
Posted by Legatus Ferrous Rodentus on :
Speaking of Lean Pockets: Jim Gaffigan's "Hot Pockets" stand-up routine is one of the funniest ones I've ever heard. It cracks me up every time!

Hot Pockets and Lean Pockets are...adequate, when you're starving. But good? I would not give them that label.
But I can hardly feed myself at all, so I make due. I'm the master of take-out.

I've had cupcakes for breakfast for two days in a row now.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
Is that better than Champaigne for breakfast?
Posted by Legatus Ferrous Rodentus on :
It's certainly cheaper!
I just had a gluten-free noodle bowl that I got from the health food store. It was pretty tasty, but rather expensive for a relatively small amount of food. I think I'll stick to gluten-full frozen meals.
Posted by Lard Lad on :
(Note: "Champaigne for Breakfast" was the name of a softcore porn a group of us saw in a hotel room during a field trip in high school )

Keith Champagne... for breakfast?!
I just had a bowl of a generic brand, Cocoa Puffs-like cereal.

Hydrox Cookies!!!
Woo-hoo!!!
They brought back the original chocolate sandwich cookie to celebrate its hundredth anniversary! Yes, folks, the Oreo--introduced four years later--was, indeed, the imitation!
Posted by Masked STU on :
That's great! I've been wanting to have a Hydrox for years. The last I remember, they had changed the name to "Droxies" (or something similar), then stopped selling them completely.
In my opinion, Hydrox actually compares quite favorably to Oreo -- actually, a number of the generic and smaller label brands do. I think it was just a matter of Oreo having built up so much brand recognition that people were using the name synonymously with "chocolate sandwich cookie."
Anyway, a little competition is good. I hope Hydrox sticks around after this initial anniversary celebration is over.

Red Baron Pepperoni "Singles" pizza. I ignore the instructions on boxes of these things, after the first time when I charred something to a crisp doing what it said. For this, 350 degrees, 13 minutes EXACTLY is perfect. (Otherwise it's overdone) Somehow, re-hearted (or in this case, frozen) pizza is the perfect accompaniment to horror or murder mystery movies at night. I did notice looking over the supermarket receipt, however, that Red Baron "singles" and "deep dish" are the exact same price, which is silly, as the "deep dish" is a LOT more filling. so I may stick to the "deep dish" from now on (17 minutes, by the way-- determined after about 4 pies).

Sugar-free Oreos...... actually pretty good. Beats the hell out of not being able to eat oreos at all......

Mango Lassie-- made it myself and everything. Posted by Hot STU on :
You-- you made a mango lassie?!
Does the ASPCA know about this??
Posted by Exnihil on :
Speaking of Mangos:
My wife is on a vegan kick (which, by extension, means I'm on a vegan kick) so, tonight, it was sauteed tempeh with bamboo shoots, with a side of jasmine sticky rice topped with sliced mango.
In the words of Sheriff Andy Taylor, it was, "Goooooo-oooood!"
Posted by Stu Rat on :
I don't think I could ever become a vegetarian or a vegan, but I really like things like tofu, gluten, and tempeh.
I've had some great preparations at vegetarian/vegan restaurants over the years, but I've yet to try preparing anything myself.

It's harvest time and I planted a plethora of tomatoes (along with beans, kale, lettuce, cukes, zucchini onions,etc.) my favorite being these yellow heirlooms that are super-sweet. I also planted a lot of basil so I've made a ton of pesto. Many a dinner in the last few weeks has been either pasta or grains with pesto and sliced tomatoes with sea salt. BTW, I've been a vegetarian for around 20 years now and I highly recommend it. I'm constantly told that I look 10-15 years younger than I am. I smoke and drink (don't tell anybody) so it must be working.

I just had a Hot Pockets "deli style ham and Swiss" Panini. The new paninis are supposed to feature "artisan style focaccia bread" and "premium meats & delicious cheeses," but I thought it tasted more or less like a regular Hot Pocket.
As with their other products, I found that the "crisping sleeve" really didn't make the Hot Pocket all that crisp -- it still had the consistency of a stale jumbo pretzel that you'd get at a movie theater concession stand.

My wife made some cookies that used pumpkin pie filling. My, but they are too good to just be called cookies. I made a motion to have them for supper, but was overruled.

For things like Hot Pockets, Mama Celeste pizzas, or other "crisp in the microwave" meals, I microwave them for two or three minutes to get them unfrozen and to get the insides hot, then stick them in the toaster oven at 300 degrees for about ten minutes just to crisp them up.
Right now, I just had three slices of sausage pizza while watching football and I'm about to go into pizza coma...
