The Giant Food thread. What I have/am/will be eating.

[Tsarmina]

What better way to feed the spam forum than to make a thread about food?? *grins*

I had a Turkey burger for lunch. Had turkey burger and potato salad last night for dinner. I have no clue what I will have for dinner tonight.

*eagerly awaits for Alum to post what is on her menu*

[Tarkenchi]

I think im gonna eat... well, honestly, i don't want to eat... Ain't hungry, plus i gotta lose weight... :chuckle:

My choice tonight, is a low cal stir fry with extra rice... or something, maybe just some rice.

(sad when a 12 year old worries about his weight, huh?) :o

[TroubleWolf]

Our supervisor ordered pizza from Domino's for our lunch. Last night's dinner was stuffed mushroom caps, an appetizer at the bar. Tonight will likely be junk food, because the Cardinals are playing.

[Malibu Sally]

I had a bowl of leftover chili for lunch. :| Not a very exciting meal.

[Tsarmina]

Oh, and I sooo have a hankerin' to make a nice big batch of cookies. Tollhouse choc chip. With walnuts and maybe peanut M&Ms.

[Half Life]

I had a twix and some gum for lunch and for dinner im eating whatever the wife is making, she always used to ask me what i wanted but years of me saying "I dont care" have finally caught up and she just surprises me every day.

[Sebastian Kain]

Well I had a kit kat and a grape cranberry juice. Dont' know what im having for dinner..might go to the grocery store after work. but my sink is still broken..so it might be take out or something. for breakfast I had a steak biscuit.

[Black Razor]

I ate some grilled trout with macaroni and cheese and some baked beans about two days ago ..I think that was the last thing I ate. I dont eat very often ..just drink alot of fluids.

[Gaia]

I will be eating mcnuggets, fries and a coke shortly.

[Kurai Inago]

I had pizza from a local joint a few towns over, because I finished Drivers Ed today. Oh, and I just ate a bunch of peanut shells. (I don't actually eat peanuts.)

[Nyx]

Just ate a leftover brownie.

Last night was a fest, though. Grilled steak with a nice steak sauce, chicken ravioli with garlic/tomato sauce, brownies, and... because we hadn't had enough chocolate, my Chocolate velvet mousse which is so rich that it *hurts*...

[Alumette]

Hooray! The food thread is back!

Tonight I just had homemade fajitas and tamales, and flan for dessert. This past week it's been pretty hectic so I haven't been cooking as much as I would have liked. Today for lunch I had a spinach salad with bleu cheese, pears, and slivered almonds. The nicest meal I had was maybe a week ago: a grilled salmon burger on a whole wheat bun with wasabi mayonnaise; accompanied by tabbouleh, steamed asparagus, and a spinach salad.

Can't wait to have the time and the kitchen to cook like I really want to!

<sigh>

[Joe Schmoe]

Pizza.. From a local place! :)

[Griimace]

8 Club chalupas.

[Tsarmina]

Brunch was OJ, Bacon and an english muffin.

[Sebastian Kain]

Popeye's Chicken for me and My Papa..who's here visiting me....



am I too sexay for popeye's chicken?


heck no!

[Magna Harrier]

Tortilla soup was breakfast..... looks like lunch will be Carl's Junior, if the spousal unit has her way. We usually eat out once on the weekend.

[Joe Schmoe]

Mmmm... Leftover pizza

[Griimace]

Today I'm having dinner with The Helper :)

[Kinetix]

For lunch I ordered a half cheese/half pineapple pizza on garlic herb crust.

[Tsarmina]

I shouldn't be eating this late but I'm hungry. So I gots me a bowl of salad, cheese croutons, and honey poppyseed dressing. Oh, and chocolate milk. :chuckle:

[Kinetix]

beef taquitos

[Tsarmina]

I'm going to bed before I eat anything else. Tomorrow... BROWNIES!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/Tsarmiina/smilies/tasty.gif

[Alumette]

On the menu "Chez Alumette" this evening:

(all made from scratch)

Lime-grilled chicken with black bean sauce
Tomato, cilantro, and jalapeno rice
Citrus fruit salad
Margaritas

It felt like a vacation! ;)

I have more time to cook this week, so more tasty, exciting things are on the menu again!

Sounds like I need to go to the Grocery store so I can keep pace with the resident Chef. :p

[Tsarmina]

A bowl of generic fruity pebbles and then I snacked on a few pieces of cold bacon. Mmmm, bacon. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/Tsarmiina/smilies/Esbat.gif

[Kinetix]

Cold, raw bacon!?

[Joe Schmoe]

I think I'll be coming back to this thread again and again to hear about Alumette is having ;)

[Tsarmina]

Cold, raw bacon!?
No silly. Leftover cooked bacon from what I made up yesterday.
I'm hungry. Someone bring me some food!

[Got]

Oh man, last night's beef chow mein. The student life is fraught with bacterium.

[Kurai Inago]

A French Dip Sandwich..... And I think that's all I've eaten today.....

[Alumette]

A French Dip Sandwich..... And I think that's all I've eaten today.....

Oh dear! Kurai! You can't eat just a sandwich all day! <goes into full-on "mom" mode and starts heaping homemade mashed potatoes and roast turkey onto his plate>

Eat, eat, eat!

And Got, leftover Chinese? Oh dear... <hands him a pan of homemade lasagne>


Tonight at Alumette's house, dinner included homemade quiche Florentine; spinach and romaine salad with tomato, almonds, bleu cheese, and red wine vinaigrette; and fresh pears with praline almonds for dessert.

Admittedly, I used a frozen pie crust. For some reason, I'm just remedial at pie crusts and am too impatient to force myself to become proficient.

Still, it was a tasty dinner.

Someday we'll have to have a big PCity get-together and I'll cook a feast for you all!

[Black Razor]

Today I had 2 pizza rolls and 2 liters of diet dew

[Kurai Inago]

Th.... Thank you? I just had some frozen margarita... because It's the only beverage you can salt (No alcohol though, I don't drink.)

[Masked Revenger]

I am, right now, drinking a diet shake for breakfast. I am, however, craving Tai food, which is strange considering it's 6:20 am.

Chris

[Tsarmina]

Breakfast: One Chocolate Royal Slimfast and three pieces of bacon. BACON!!
Lunch will be the last bit of leftover potato salad. And chocolate milk. :chuckle:

And I am hoping Amoeba Man will be coming over for dinner and he'll want pizza like I do.

[Tarkenchi]

Im eating Tsarmina... Mmmm, Pirate...

Nah, i err, well... Its 7:30 and im not eating anything, i am not hungry.

Yesterday I ate....nope, Just drank stuff.... O_o

[Malibu Sally]

Breakfast today was a bowl of cornflakes mixed with some walnut pieces.(dunno why, but walnuts and cornflakes go really well together)

Lunch is going to be grilled porkchops slathered with serrano chilie and raspberry grilling sauce and a tomato and cucumber salad.

No dinner. I will be sleeping then because I have to be at the coal mine tonight.

[Alumette]

Roasted chicken and white bean pizza, and a salad; and a local white table wine.

Here's the recipe for the pizza (it's really tasty and easy):

One three-pack of prepared small (7") pizza crusts (I use Mama Mary's brand)
One can Great Northern beans, drained (cannellini work well too)
lemon juice, crushed garlic, and black pepper to taste
One package pre-cooked roast chicken pieces (or leftover roast chicken, about 8 oz)
Fresh baby spinach leaves
Shredded mozzarella and/or provolone.

Heat oven to 450.

Combine beans, lemon juice, garlic, and pepper in a blender or food processor until smooth. Top each crust with 1/3 of the bean mixture (this is your "sauce"). Then top with chicken pieces, spinach, and cheese.

Bake for 8 minutes or until crusts are golden.

Bon appetit! :)

[Kinetix]

Al, would you exploede if you ate normal people food? Stop bragging we want some!! :chuckle: ;)

Tonigtht I had a salad with mandarin oranges, and meat-loaf. Well, tonight it was more of meat-lump.

[TroubleWolf]

I'm getting by on vending machine packets of snack food today, because I was too lazy to go anywhere for lunch. I've had a packet of Cheez-Its, a packet of Gardetto's, and I'm working through a packet of White Cheddar Cheez-Its right now. All washed down with a Cherry Coke.

*steals a handfull of White Cheddar Cheezits.* :chuckle:

I had buttered egg noodles with some garlic seasoning and parmesean cheese for lunch.
I just finished my dinner. English muffin, tuna with just a bit of lemon garlic seasoning topped with swiss cheese heated in the oven. Mmmm, cheese. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/Tsarmiina/smilies/tasty.gif

[TroubleWolf]

*steals a handfull of White Cheddar Cheezits.* :chuckle:

Aw, weak! It's a $0.60 package, there's only a handful in it to begin with.

Well I guess I'll just sit here and listen to the rumbly in my tumbly.

Thanks a lot, Mina. :cry:

[Tsarmina]

*repays Wolfie with a bowl of Mac & Cheese... homemade baked Mac & Cheese, and a plate of cookies*

Oh and Here, this is MUCH better than that Coke crap. *hands over a 2 liter of cold Mt. Dew* http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/Tsarmiina/smilies/Esbat.gif


...hey, I never said I ate healthy!...

[TroubleWolf]

<_<

>_>

All is forgiven, my love.

[Kinetix]

As I talk about on global chat.

Another Chicken Pot Pie.

They're marvelous!

[BvS]

I'm guessing that there are more than one chicken pot in a pie, or it's an awfully small pie.

[Kinetix]

awfully small

looks kinda like: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000CNUYC.01-ATFLPAIOVB7O0.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

[Sebastian Kain]

Last nite I made Italian Sauage Spaghetti. It was pretty good.. :)

[Sechmeth]

Yesterday I had a stew with Spanish ham and sausages, bacon, garlic,onions,safron, big white beans, it was delicious! :p

Today it will be spagetti with cream sauce and shrimps!

Yummy!

And all self-cooked!

[TroubleWolf]

Last night my mom had a craving for bacon, so she cooked a whole package of bacon and some cheeseburgers. My dinner was a bacon cheeseburger with a side of bacon, some Hot Wing flavored Twisterz, and some Darth Vader peanut M&M's for dessert. Washed down with Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper.

I don't eat healthy, but I enjoy eating. :)

[Tsarmina]

*Now has an intense craving for M & M's from the dark side.*
Have you seen the new Almond Joy? Covered in dark chocolate... with chocolate coconut!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/Tsarmiina/smilies/Esbat.gif

I had a couple of deviled eggs this morning. (I use crumbled bacon in the filling. MmmMMm good)
For lunch I'll have a tuna sandwhich with swiss cheese on an onion roll and the last of the deviled eggs. With Mt. Dew.
Dinner I hear will be BBQ chicken with corn on the cob. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/Tsarmiina/smilies/tasty.gif

[TroubleWolf]

Chocolate coconut? What kind of messed up, failed cross-breeding experiment produced that abomination?

BBQ chicken sounds damned good, though. Do you do whole chickens, or just chicken breasts on the grill?

[Tsarmina]

Fine. You don't like Chocolate coconut? More for me!

Um, since Amoeba is cooking, I'm not sure how he's doing them. It'll probably be just the breasts. If I was grilling them, I'd use all pieces of chicken-leg, thigh and breast. I've only done a whole bird in the oven.

[TroubleWolf]

If it were me, I'd do whole chicken legs on the grill, with cajun seasoning rubbed in.

And hey, it's Secretary's Day! Some of our higher-ups ordered us free pizza! Can't beat the taste of free food...

[Tsarmina]

Ooh, Wolfie.... wanna be my secretary??? ;) Or er, Administrative Professional, as it were.

I am actually not that good at grilling... maybe because I don't really do it that often and now that my lil hibachi grill is missing a piece I don't grill at all now. I'll just let the men folk take care of all the grill duties. :)

*digs around in her snack drawer for something yummy.* Ooh! Dark chocolate hershey kisses! :singdance

[TroubleWolf]

Actually, I just got a promotion, so as of next month, you couldn't afford me.

I drive a big old Dodge truck, and I have a barbecue grill in the truck bed at all times, as well as a bag of charcoal and a container of lighter fluid in my toolbox. Anytime is tailgate time. :cool:

*digs around in her snack drawer for something yummy.* Ooh! Dark chocolate hershey kisses! :singdance

Ooooooo! Shaaaaaaare please!

[Alumette]

mmmmm. Grilling. I love grilled food so much, that when I'm finally in a position to build my house, I'm going to design an outdoor kitchen. Unless you live under a rock, you know I adore cooking; and I also happen to adore dining al fresco, so an outdoor kitchen is pretty much my wet dream. (Did I say that out loud?)

Sadly, I don't even own so much as a hibachi at this point (Cursed apartment regulations!), so I'm stuck with broiling my food as the next best alternative.

Speaking of that, tonight's menu was:

Chili-lime rubbed tilapia tacos with citrus salsa slaw, and fresh fruit.

I'm hoping to bring on summer more quickly by eating what I call "vacation food" I guess.

Yesterday's dinner was chicken, spinach, and soba soup. I believe I posted the recipe for that on the old forums.

[Black Razor]

Todays menu consisted of a can of tuna, a hersey bar, a 20oz diet dew, and half a bottle of pinot grigio. No ..not all at the same time ..that would be odd.

[Kinetix]

Breakfast -
Brunch - Bagel con Creamcheese, apple sauce, apple/mango juice
Lunch- KFC (chicken strips, coleslaw, mashed taters, biscuit, Mountain Dew)
Ride home-Mountain Dew
Home-Mountain Dew
Dinner-Sloppy Joe and salad


btw Mina, I hate dark chocolate

[Black Razor]

I just ate a cracker. Felt you should all know. :P

[Malibu Sally]

Good Lord, Kin. A little less Dew. Mix in a glass of water now and then! :P

[Alumette]

This being Day One of my South Beach Diet adventure, here's what's on the menu chez Alumette:

Greek-Style Scampi (it wasn't in the SBD cookbook but it's one of my faves and it fits the criteria for the diet, so... *score!* It's basically shrimp baked in diced tomatoes and herbs, with crumbled feta on top and a squeeze of lemon.)

Spinach salad with pine nuts and red wine vinaigrette

A glass of cabernet.

Okay, technically the cabernet is off the diet. I'm not supposed to have any alcohol for two weeks. But giving up wine with dinner is too much torture for me. I'll deal with the slower weight loss.

[Thermyte]

Some steak, and french fries. Of course powerade with it :P GREEN SQUALL!

[Tsarmina]

Onion and potato perogies with sour cream for lunch.
Now I'm gonna snack on some fruity pebbles.

[Nyx]

btw Mina, I hate dark chocolate



... Heathen.

[Dynamo-Man]

Chicken cooked on a good old fashioned briquet grill, basted with Brook's BBQ Sauce (anyone in upstate New York know where that is?), homemade potato salad, and Ambrosia (kinda).

I feel very fat right now. :chuckle:

[Kinetix]

... Heathen.

The lack of sugar in it makes it taste waxy.

[Got]

Slept through breakfast, slept through lunch and had a can of baked beans for my dinner.

And you wonder why I keep my figure.

[Nyx]

The lack of sugar in it makes it taste waxy.


You've clearly never had very high quality dark chocolate. It becomes less like the nasty artificial stuff we call 'chocolate', and more true to the flavor of the cocoa beans. It's actually more like tasting wine -- it has all these wonderful subtle nuances and flavors in it...

Alumette... you'll love this... an ounce of dark chocolate a day is good for your heart.

I can definitely recommend several brands... usually available at specialty places like Trader Joe's.

[Alumette]

Nyx, I remember reading that somewhere. Yippee! As if I needed justification. :p

And dark chocolate is... 'scuse me. I need a little personal time.


...

...

...

<sigh> Oh yes. Where was I?

Oh yeah. Dark chocolate. mmmm. Personally I prefer Valrhona, although there is a boutique chocolatier in my city who makes absolutely divine dark chocolate truffles. Usually a box from his shop is all I ever want for my birthday.

[Nyx]

Yeah baby! Valrhona 71%.

I can also recommend Unique Origin varietals... I've tried the Ocumare and the Guaranda (I must sound like I'm speaking another language to those non-chocophiles...), and it's really interesting to taste the differences. Guaranda is kinda fruity, and the Ocumare is spicier.

[Tsarmina]

Sunday morning AM and I shared some Godiva truffles. :lollipop:
*drowns in her drool whilst thinking that she's not picky... she'll take any chocolate, any kind of chocolate at all*

[Sebastian Kain]

Had Popeye's Chicken last nite..


Thinking about making tuna fish tonight..for my dieting/exercise plan.

[Tsarmina]

Tuna & crackers for breakfast. OJ to drink.
I brought leftover pirogies for lunch. Mt Dew to drink.
No clue what will be for dinner. Maybe I'll find something interesting when I go to the store after work.

[Malibu Sally]

Todays Menu(otherwise known as the "Let's Horrify Alumette" Menu):

Breakfast is a bowl of Count Chocula and a glass of V8.

Lunch is a fried bologna and onions sandwich.(on toasted generic white bread) A banana :banana3:, and glass of Canada Dry Raspberry Ginger Ale.

Dinner is a plain Iceberg lettuce and tomato salad(with Miracle whip dressing). Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, with smoked sausage slices mixed in. A glass of Carlo Rossi generic red wine and for dessert: Lime jello with cool whip on top.


NOTE: None of this is actually on today's menu... I'm just trying to gross out Al.(well.... I might have the fried bologna and onion sandwich later, but on rye bread... not white) :P

[TroubleWolf]

Last night after the D&D game (that's right, I play, and I admit it :P ) everyone brought food to our DM's house, and we pigged out and drank beer all evening.

I had cheesy bratwursts, chili, baked beans, teriyaki chicken on a stick, Fritos with spicy cheese dip, and some kind of funky flatbread with ranch dip spread on it, all washed down with Michelob Light. My tummy was fuuuuull.

LOL. Very cute, Salibu! ;) I started to get grossed out and then I thought to myself, "She can't really be serious."

My menus are getting progressively more boring because I'm in "Phase One" of the South Beach Diet, which means it is some combination of lean meat and a boatload of vegetables...day in, and day out...<sigh> 12 more days till I can cook real food.

Tonight was baked chicken breast in Provencal ragout, steamed broccoli, and a green salad. Hmph. Boring.

(Oh, PS: Just between you and me, I happen to like macaroni and cheese with smoked sausage mixed in. :) You should try it with homemade mac and cheese, using fontina and provolone instead of cheddar, and then mixing in the sausage. Yum!)

[Malibu Sally]

(Oh, PS: Just between you and me, I happen to like macaroni and cheese with smoked sausage mixed in. :) You should try it with homemade mac and cheese, using fontina and provolone instead of cheddar, and then mixing in the sausage. Yum!)

For a few years there we were at the point of budgeting next to nothing for food, so we basically lived on the REALLY cheap stuff. We learned one basic rule: Never follow the directions on the box/package.

For instance... the directions for macaroni and cheese alway tell you to mix milk and butter with the cheese powder. DON'T DO THAT! Do this instead: For the fat, use mayonaise. Two big glops with a tablespoon should do. The mayo replaces the fat in the butter and milk. Next, add a little of your favorite mustard. This should be done only a little at a time till you think it tastes right... you can always add more but you can't take any out if too much. Use plain water as the liquid. Like the mustard, use only a little at a time to avoid overthinning. Use whatever seasonings you happen to enjoy as well. Mix everything together while the noodles are cooking and then add it when they are drained. This method makes "El-Cheapo" mac and cheese much creamier and tastier than the directions.

Of course, completely from scratch is best, but sometimes one just does not want to take the time. :)

[Sebastian Kain]

Had Tuna Fish Salad and Dill Flavored Chips.

[TroubleWolf]

Last night's dinner was awesome. Pork chops, loaded mashed potatoes, corn, baked beans, with root beer to drink.

My mom made the mashed potatoes from scratch, and used sour cream instead of milk in them. She cooked real bacon and tore it up to mix into the potatoes, and we each sprinkled cheese on the top after we spooned some on our plate. The whole effect was mindblowing. I never want instant potatoes again!

[Tsarmina]

*instant craving for those mashed potatoes*

I had salad for dinner,with walnuts, grilled chicken and croutons. With this rather awsome Blu Cheese vinagrette dressing. Mmmm.

I'm planning on chicken parmesean for tomorrow night. With salad and garlic bread of course. Who knows what I'll throw together for dinner tonight. I've been rather craving a nice PB,J and Fluff sandwhich. :chuckle:

[TroubleWolf]

I've had two little bitty packets of Gardetto's today. I love the little bagel chips, or whatever they are. The dark brown things. I think I'll pick a big bag up on my lunch break and snack on them this afternoon instead of getting an actual lunch.

[Masked Revenger]

In a few moments I will be eating Roast Beef Stew, Rice Pilaf, Vegies, Dinner Rolls, Salad and Cake for lunch, all courtisy of my company. :D

Chris

[TroubleWolf]

You guys! The Wal-Mart I went to at lunch to buy some Gardetto's was out of them, so I bought a bag of Barbecue Ritz Chips instead... and they're awesome! Like potato chips, only thicker, crunchier, and with an underlying buttery taste like Ritz crackers.

Man, these are almost as good as the Buffalo Wings and Cheesy Blue Twisterz, which are my favorite snack food ever.

[TroubleWolf]

Mina must be busy at work today.

Well, I had frozen burritos and leftover mashed potatoes for dinner last night. The potatoes were even better the second day. :cool:

Today we're having a food day at work, because my supervisor is getting a different job, and we're wishing her well. I've had jambalaya, spaghetti, shrimp cocktail, peach cobbler, brownie, strawberry cake, cinnamon rolls, and later I'll probably have a piece of the chocolate cake. I know it sounds like a lot, but when there are thirty people in your workgroup, the portions are extremely small.

[Tsarmina]

Busy? Not really. Dreaming of my dinner? Definately.
The menu for tonight:
Chicken parmesean (sp)
Angel Hair pasta
salad
garlic bread
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/Tsarmiina/smilies/tasty.gif

For lunch I had buttered noodles and a piece of the breaded chicken for the above mentioned meal. (cooked up the chicken last night. I'm transporting dinner over to AM's house so it's easier if it's mostly cooked already) Then one of the girls here couldn't finish her oh-so-bad and greasy onion rings... so I ate those. UGH. Why can't I just say no?? But I did have a yogurt for breakfast.

[TroubleWolf]

That sounds great, Mina!

Tonight should be fun. I'm picking up some chicken legs at Buffalo Wild Wings... it's Wednesday, so the drumsticks are only 50 cents apiece. Then I'm headed out to a friend's house to watch the Cardinals finish sweeping the Reds, where we'll eat chicken, drink beer, and argue about baseball.

After the game, if it's not too late, we might watch "National Treasure". And drink more beer. :p

[Sebastian Kain]

Man, these are almost as good as the Buffalo Wings and Cheesy Blue Twisterz, which are my favorite snack food ever.

Uh Oh...better not tell you i'm making buffalo wings at this summer's meetup.. :notme:

[Tsarmina]

So far I've had a banana and raspberry yogurt.

For lunch: Salad with cut up breaded chicken and walnuts. Blu Cheese Vinagrette dressing. (YUM!) Applesause for a snack. Mt Dew to drink.

But my tummy is feeling icky today so I don't know if I'll be eating lunch. :(

[TroubleWolf]

Uh Oh...better not tell you i'm making buffalo wings at this summer's meetup.. :notme:

I've won wing-eating contests, bro... you better make a lot. ;)

Man, I take care of my boys. If I go to someone's house, you can believe all of my beer bottles get into the trash, any dishes I use get into the sink (or dishwasher, if it's dirty stuff in there), and any trash I create gets thrown away. I've even been known, at big parties, to pull the trash out of a trash can and ask for a new trash bag, just to keep people from trying to balance beer bottles on top of the trash all night.

My own room may be a pigsty, but I don't make other people live in it.

Sorry man, I'm not good with those kinds of games..I"ll just have to befriend u the best I can. :(

[Tsarmina]

*munches on pecan carmel clusters* It's all my co-worker's fault! She went to the *munch-munch* store during lunch and brought back *munch* all this chocolate!

[Amoeba Man]

Eating wintergreen Ice Breakers right now. Those commercials lie! They didn't give me ice breath! :(

[Sebastian Kain]

Had Sauage and Pepporni Pizza for lunch..(still tryin to eat it while slaving back in forth.) Boss lady bought it for me, it's alright..from papa johns. Yes i'm cheating myself...but it's really one the only things i've eaten that's considered junk. I've been eating really healthy, mainly one meal a day though. :(

It's all good right? I'll have to take a pic of my body to show how fat I am..

now this belongs in my workout thread. :grr:

[TroubleWolf]

Sorry man, I'm not good with those kinds of games..I"ll just have to befriend u the best I can. :(

Heh, it was BASEketball, one of the first movies by Try Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park. I loved that movie so much, I saw it 6 times in the theater! I think I was a senior in high school when it came out. My friend Matt and I went every night of that week except Saturday night.

Oh, and all I've had to eat today are Gardetto's. I've found a new way to save a ton of money each week. I collecta bunch of my "silver change" out of my change box at home, and put it in my pocket. Then when I get to work, I use it at the vending machines to buy Gardetto's and Cherry Coke. That's enough to tide me over the whole day at work, and since I live at home, my mom makes dinner at night! The only time I have to spend my actual money on food is when I go out with friends. This should work at least as long as my change box still has nickels, dimes, and quarters in it from the four years I spent away from home, tossing change into the box every day after work...

[Tsarmina]

Buying stuff from work costs too much. I bring a lunch &/or snacks everyday. I mean, a 20oz soda is like $1.30 right now. Insane!
Maybe you should go to one of them bulk warehouse type places. (Like Sam's Club/Cosco etc) Buy the ginourmous bag of snacks and bring a bit of it every day to work.

*sneaks into Wolfie's room to find his loot box... but is repulsed by the horrid mess it is*

Well, I spend about $3 per day on vending machine snacks, using money that was just collecting dust in a box, as opposed to going out for lunch and spending $5 to $7 of my hard-earned paycheck money per day... so it works for me!

And stay out of my room as long as you've got all your clothes on!

[Sebastian Kain]

I'm gonna merk this lady at work..if she don't come buggy me about us selling boxes to these students so they can pack their stuff up. She's someone's mother..and she's been here the last two days...

Trick..

No she is not Stacy's mom... :(

[Akamaz]

ok, she may not be stacy's mom, but does she got it goin on?

[Sebastian Kain]

ok, she may not be stacy's mom, but does she got it goin on?

No she did not have it going on.

[Tsarmina]

And now back to the discussion of food....

Dinner last night:
some swiss cheese
some peperoni slices
frozen package of turkey slices in gravy, heated up and dumped on an onion roll.
twizzlers
Mt Dew

Breakfast: Fruity pebbles
banana

Lunch: Salad with shredded cheddar cheese, walnuts, cut up chicken,croutons and Poppyseed and Honey dressing. Mt Dew to drink.

Snacks: Chocolate!

[TroubleWolf]

Last night at the bar the deal was half-priced appetizers, so I had the mozzarella sticks and the cheesy cottage fries. And a boatload of Bud Light.

And now I'm hungry again... maybe I'll actually eat a lunch today. Chinese sounds good...

[Alumette]

Breakfast: scrambled eggs

Lunch: a stick of string cheese, 15 pistachios, and a green salad with sliced chicken breast

Dinner will be chicken and vegetable stir fry (no rice), and mocha-espresso custard for dessert.

[TroubleWolf]

How do you stop at 15 pistachios? I can't stop eating those little suckers until the bag is empty.

[Tsarmina]

Me neither. Unless all that were left were 15? :eyebrow:

I've had some yummy stuff this weekend.
Friday's dinner: AM & I shared a 1/2 chicken meal from Boston Market. (neither of us were really hungry) Sides were mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and cinnamon apples. Also their caramel brownie which we ended up not eating until Sunday morning.
Saturday: One meal late morning. Went to the diner down the street. Scrambled eggs, French Toast, Bacon, Sausage and Ham. (leftover ham with pea pods for lunch today.)
Sunday: TGI Friday's. We shared...Jack Daniel’s® Tower-Jack Ribs, Shrimp and Sesame Jack Chicken Strips. Served with Friday’s® Jack Daniel’s® sauce. Dessert was the Chocolate Rush. Two slices layered with rich chocolate fudge, dark chocolate mousse, white chocolate mascarpone mousse, chocolate cake and rich chocolate ganache, topped with shaved white chocolate and served with drizzled raspberry sauce Yes. It was that awsome and then some. After eating that, my chocolate milkshake didn't taste all that sweet anymore. :chuckle:
Later in the evening I had a PB&J sandwhich while my computer re-booted from a particularly nasty map disco.

This morning: Chocolate Royal Slimfast.

I usually don't eat out that much. It was an unusual weekend for me. I guess I need to cook more this week to balence it all out. Damn. And I kinda wanted pizza.

[Alumette]

How do you stop at 15 pistachios? I can't stop eating those little suckers until the bag is empty.


I know what you mean. But I allow myself 30 a day. That's it. I pretty much have to apply raw will to keep it at 30 or less.

Imagining myself in pink tights helps. They are the most unflattering piece of clothing in the universe. Without question.

I ended up not eating the stir fry for lastnight's dinner because I wasn't hungry. So I had it tonight:

Breakfast: over-easy egg and two slices Canadian bacon
Lunch: Chicken caesar salad (no croutons), and a V8 juice
Snacks: 15 pistachios, seltzer water, a stick of string cheese, and celery sticks
Dinner: Chicken-vegetable stir fry
Dessert: mocha custard

[Sebastian Kain]

Breakfast: Turkey Bacon and cheesy egg sandwich. Made by me of course. :)

[TroubleWolf]

Turkey Bacon :)

There is something horribly, horribly wrong with that phrase. Is it bacon... made from turkey? Or some mutated pig-turkey that has greasy pink feathers and goes "Gobble-Oink"?

My mom made homemade burritos last night for dinner, which were pretty decent. I feel like eating a burger today, so I'll probably just go down to the cafeteria here at work.

[Sebastian Kain]

There is something horribly, horribly wrong with that phrase. Is it bacon... made from turkey? Or some mutated pig-turkey that has greasy pink feathers and goes "Gobble-Oink"?


Nope. It's bacon that taste like bacon. :P I grilled burgers on the foreman..wanted to make some hot wings last nite, but didn't want to wait for them to unthaw. I went to sleep early, cause I didn't sleep over the weekend. :(

[TroubleWolf]

I still wouldn't eat it.

I got chinese food for lunch. Hot & Spicy beef. It wasn't very hot or spicy, but it tasted pretty good. Next time I'm going to try the Garlic Beef. I used to only get the General Tso's Chicken, but sometimes I just feel like ordering pork, shrimp or beef, so I branch out.

It's really a lot of food for $5.00.

[Tsarmina]

MMmm. I love General Tso's chicken. I get that most of the time I have chinese. That and crab rangoon.

Right now I'm eating a ham salad sandwich. Made the salad from scratch myself. :)

[Kinetix]

Tuna Melt with some of the juiciest strawberries I've had in a while. I'm going to go get some more...

[Tsarmina]

Waaaa! Share with me!! *pout*

[Kinetix]

*tosses some for Mina to catch in her mouth*

[TroubleWolf]

What is she.... flipper?

[Tsarmina]

*tosses some for Mina to catch in her mouth*
*smacks Kin upside his head. Hard. Then steals the rest of the berries*

[Sebastian Kain]

Made some Honey Mustard and Hot Wings Last Nite. They were okay..not my best. Made some fried drumsticks as well. Mainly cause I didn't think I had enough wings for the house. I did..cause one of my roomates had already ate. :)

[Tsarmina]

Nothing too exciting here for lunch. Skillet chicken & potatoes leftover from dinner and a 1/2 ham salad sandwich.

I have no idea what dinner will be.


oh and MmmMmm, honey mustard chicken!

[Tsarmina]

Dinner for Friday night...
Killer Dillers - Thinly sliced pickles, breaded and deep-fried, served with a cucumber-dill dip.
White Lightning - A white pizza with fresh garlic, chicken sausage, spinach, Pepper Jack and Ricotta cheese.
Had leftover pizza for breakfast Sat & Sunday. :D

Lunch:
Turkey burger (no bun) with mushrooms on top & sugar snap peas.

[Alumette]

Dinner lastnight was:
Chicken Capri
Green salad with sauteed red cabbage
Steamed green beans
Strawberry mousse

Dinner tonight was:
Broiled salmon with lemon-dill cream sauce
Green salad with grape tomatoes and bleu cheese crumbles
Pinot noir (although I should have poured a sauvignon blanc, I think)
Chevre in herbes de provence

I'll be having cantaloupe for dessert.

[Noble]

Alumette, your meals sound like the dinner menu's at the retirement home for the filthy rich where I work at. I don't understand what the words mean half the time, but the dinners are super fancy and spiffy.

As for me, I am currently each some chocolate M&M's and may very well dig into some bread sticks I have left over from Pizza Hut.

[Stalking Shadow]

Dinner last night: feijoada.
Dinner tonight: leftover feijoada. ;)

[Alumette]

Dinner last night: feijoada.
Dinner tonight: leftover feijoada. ;)


Can I come over? :)

[Sebastian Kain]

Food is for the weak! Crash diet time!

[Tsarmina]

I'm weak. I love food.
Breakfast: PB & J sandwich.
Lunch: Same as yesterday.

[Sebastian Kain]

Dinner: Grilled hotdogs on the foreman grill. chopped up onions, made chilli and had cheese to go with them among other condiments. Had some chips as well. For desert I had cheese danishes and vanilla icecream.

[Tsarmina]

Dinner last night. 1/2 a turkey artichoke Panini.
Breakfast: Slimfast
Lunch: Franks and beans with chocolate milk. :)
Dinner will be porkchops, some vegi and maybe a salad too.

[Alumette]

Food is for the weak! Crash diet time!

I guess I'm weak too. I love food with an intense passion. Which is why I love to cook, and I cater (very) part time in addition to teaching French and doing ballet.

Tonight's dinner was:

Sauteed chicken breasts in a provencal white wine-tomato reduction (not sure what to call it since I kinda made it up on the fly), couscous, and a green salad with pine nuts.

I poured a *fantastic* California chardonnay (Monterrey, Arroyo Seco). I normally despise most American chards, since for some reason American winemakers seem to think it will kill them to make a chard without oak, but this one was lovely: no oak to speak of, with kind of a buttered toast and apple note, lots of fruit, and a mineraly/flinty finish. It was absolutely lovely. And the best part is, it was cheap, something between $8-$12, if I remember correctly.

For my fellow oenophiles, it was a 2002 J. Lohr Chardonnay. I'll definitely be buying it again. Want to try it with some kind of cream sauce next time since the wine's acidity was nice and snappy.

[Sebastian Kain]

mwhahaha..I'm weaker than all of you...














I love to eat.. :(

[Alumette]

Didn't eat much today, and I'm not sure why.

Breakfast was a bowl of granola with milk and a poached egg.

Lunch was a lowfat stick of mozzarella string cheese and a piece of Laffy Taffy.

Dinner was a salad of field greens with a grilled chicken breast and red wine vinaigrette.

[Alumette]

Poached salmon with cucumber-dill sauce and a green salad.

I poured a disappointing Cotes de Luberon.

But I'll make up for it with dark chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert! :)

[Thermyte]

Frozen pizza which I screwed up :P (Tried to cook it in a metal ban with this cripser thing in the microwave...not good)
Had Taquitos, a Powerade, and BIG K cheap soda crap. :cry:

[Tsarmina]

I had a big pile of them new Dark Side plain M&Ms last night. Man are they good!

[suburbanhell]

I have been on a big Twix kick lately, not so healthy...

[Poison]

Sech and I are having pollack filets in a tomato-basil marinade with rice in a few minutes. Mmmmmm...

[Tsarmina]

I have a slimfast for breakfast. *sigh*
PB & J for lunch.
I hope to find something yummy for dinner.

[Malibu Sally]

We're going camping this weekend so it's the usual "roughing it" fare: Lots of reconstituted stuff.(though the Beef with noodles IS pretty good)

Hopefully we can catch a fish or two(mercury levels be damned). I'll be bringing butter in the cooler just in case so we can fry them up. To drink will be lots of bottled water, Coke and beer.

[Sebastian Kain]

Wooo Fish Fry here at my sister's ranch! Word to your Aunt!

[jose1011]

Pb&j.....bwahahahaha!!!!

[Tsarmina]

Pb&j.....bwahahahaha!!!!
Hey! It was really good PB. The honey nut kind. I woulda had fluff on it too if I hadn't eaten it all. :P

[Valcarde]

Home-made spicey chicken stew.

[Tsarmina]

Chicken ceasar salad and garlic bread. Which we are bringing with us to the park. :)

[Malibu Sally]

Well, thanks to all the non-native species that have been introduced to Florida waters, we ate like kings. Lots of Tilapia filets in the pan this weekend. All one needs to catch them is a castnet.

[Alumette]

mmmmm. I have an *awesome* tilapia recipe. We eat it at least once a week!

Tonight's dinner is:

Marinated flank steak (broiled)
Fauxtatoes
Green salad with gorgonzola and balsamic vinaigrette
and an old vines Zin from California.

and dessert will be simple: a couple squares of organic 75% cocoa dark chocolate. mmmm

[Malibu Sally]

mmmmm. I have an *awesome* tilapia recipe. We eat it at least once a week!

We brought home LOTS of fish.

[Nyx]

Right now:

Nutella

Nilla Wafers

2% Milk

.... *purr*

[Meltman]

Um, what's a Nutella?

[Nyx]

Nutella is a nut spread made from hazelnuts, but it's got cocoa in it, so it's basically spreadable chocolate...

It's gooooood stuff. Should be able to find it in the peanut butter and jelly section of most large grocery stores in the US.

[Alumette]

Nutella <whimpers>

mmmmm

Can't have it anymore though. <cries>

Sally, I'll get that recipe to you asap. Just had it tonight for dinner, btw.

And for desert... dark-chocolate-covered strawberries! Yum!

[Kinetix]

[Tsarmina]

Did someone say Chocolate?!!?
I think we need some Chocolate Therapy (http://www.benjerry.com/our_products/flavor_details.cfm?product_id=150) I had me a big spoonful of that last night.... MmmMmm good.

[Meltman]

Mina? The Campbells people want to have a word with you.....

Mmmmm......Half of a barbequed chicken.

[Stan Walker]

Wow, you are good Stan.

I'll be having chinese for dinner tonight, I think. Some sort of gourmet sandwhich from Panera for lunch. :)

[Malibu Sally]

*still patiently waiting for that spectacular tilapia recipe from Alumette*:waiting:


In the meantime... I will be having a Grand Slam Sub from the Ball Park Sub shop today. When I get it home, I think I'll put the sub in our cuban sandwich press.

[Alumette]

Here you go Sally. Sorry about the wait. This is a rough time of year for me.

1/3 cup dry sherry or vermouth (I use rice wine usually instead)
3 T low-sodium soy sauce
2 t sesame oil
1/4 cup chopped scallion
1 t freshly-grated ginger
2-4 tilapia fillets

Heat oven to 400* F. Mix all ingredients except the tilapia and combine well. Place fish in a shallow baking pan. Drizzle the soy sauce mixture over the fish and bake for 12 minutes or until done.

Bon appetit!

[Alumette]

Chicken Capri (Chicken breast sauteed in garlic, sherry, prosciutto, and onion, then baked smothered in herbed ricotta, diced tomato, and mozzarella(, and a green salad with pine nuts and fava beans.

Pouring an Australian Shiraz because it's all I've got on hand at the moment.

[Nyx]

I have a few cravings in life. One is chocolate. Another is to be warm.

I discovered today which is stronger.

I shivered quite happily while enjoying my bowl of chocolate caramel ice cream drizzled with chocolate syrup.

[Tsarmina]

Two turkey hot dogs with ketchup and mustard. Apple juice to drink. *sigh* It's all I had to grab for lunch.
Tonight I think I'll make up some TunaMac salad. That's quick and won't heat up my kitchen too much.


Oh, and I <3 Ben & Jerry's!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v610/Tsarmiina/smilies/wub.gif

[Nyx]

... Ice cream is great and all, but I only venture out into the below-freezing after-dark wind and drizzle to get *gelato*...

[Larke]

i've been very upset with ben and jerry for awhile now... they took away "from russia with buzzzz" it was my absolute favorite... *cry* but the Gobfather does look good.

[Larke]

*reads most of the posts and pummels Alumette for being able to cook whatever she wants* I live with picky picky picky husband who happens to be allergic to garlic... pretty much freaking hosed... no vinegar no mayo no ketchup no sour cream.... i can make um, chili.. and tacos (from mix with nothing special on them).. um, grilled chicken PLAIN doesn't like bbq sauce or any sauce... my ONLY choice is plain or marinated in teriyaki... once in awhile i indulge myself and buy some fresh green beans and sautee them in butter and garlic and run my hubby out of the house.... they're sooooo freaking good... mmm..

last night was chili... um, tonight, leftover chili.

[Sebastian Kain]

Plan to make some Prez spaghetti..before my team meeting tonight.

[Tsarmina]

Allergic to garlic??! Man that is terrible. *is thankful she has no food allergies*
Dinner last night was turkey burger, tuna mac salad and pickles. (hot sweet mustard and spicy BBQ sauce on the burger)
Lunch today, turkey burger and tuna mac salad. :)
Snack is baby carrots to dip in Italian dressing.

[Alumette]

broiled steaks with a mustard-garlic-pepper dry rub, smothered in a red-wine, mushroom, and onion reduction; served with a side of whole-wheat couscous and a green salad with feta, baby greens, and pine nuts. I poured a nice cabernet. Yum! :)

[Nyx]

I am proud to announce that I have just successfully made Coq au Vin alla Italiana, and it was/is delicious! Nice with a glass of the wine that went into the sauce.

[Tsarmina]

Amoeba Man and I officially started on the South Beach diet on Saturday. And man are we having fun making meals. :)

Today I had spinach & cheese quiche with turkey bacon.
Green salad with cucumbers, sun dried tomatoes, cut up chicken in a smokey tomato dressing.
Dinner will be leftover catfish with broccoli I think.

[Titomancer]

*sigh*....Ramen......more Ramen.......even more Ramen.......maybe some Mac'n'Cheese if I can scrounge up cash to get milk.....and spaghetti if I'm feeling like splurging.....Too bad they dont pay m to play video games.

[Tsarmina]

*sends Tito the tub of cookie dough that's been in her freezer*

[Alumette]

Mina, I've been on the South Beach Diet for about a month now, and I love it! I've lost something in the neighborhood of 10 lbs! (Didn't weigh myself when I started, but I got weighed at the doctor today and I'm within 4 lbs. of where I'd like to be).

You will likely have to buy all new jeans in a week or two. And IMO it's a really easy diet to follow once you break yourself of the carb cravings (beware, they can induce some craaaaaazy mood swings!)

Good luck with it!

[Tsarmina]

........You will likely have to buy all new jeans in a week or two. And IMO it's a really easy diet to follow once you break yourself of the carb cravings (beware, they can induce some craaaaaazy mood swings!)

Good luck with it!
No, I'll be able to fit back into my old jeans! I also have quite a few jean shorts that are practically new that I'm looking forward to fitting into again. The weight loss is almost secondary to improved health and energy we will be enjoing. :) :) :)

[Titomancer]

On today's episode of "Aluminum Chef"....

brown rice, garlic powder, individually wrapped cheese slice, diced up black olives, and taco bell mild sauce....

I had to make due with what I had left in the pantry...it's not bad...if you get passed the taste.

[Malibu Sally]

Lamb stew with plantains, and blackbeans & rice on the side. Chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Yummy :lollipop:

[Necra]

This thread makes me hungry every time I read it..

[Malibu Sally]

Tonight was "Cuban Burrito" night. Basically last night's leftovers topped with salsa and stuffed into tortillas.(see my previous post about what last night's dinner was) :p

[Meltman]

Sweet and Sour Chicken. Wasn't that good really. This particular take-out place doesn't put pineapple or vegetables in it. :grr:

[Malibu Sally]

Relived my "poor white-trash" youth for lunch today.

Fried bologna sandwich with onions,
Fritos,
Bowl of Kozy Shack rice pudding. :)

Lunch will be a spring green salad with sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, radishes and parmesean garlic dressing.
Snack of chocolate pudding. :)

[Meltman]

Boysenberry Sorbet and a Double Dutch Muffin.

[Larke]

mmm parmesan garlic dressing...

well i'm eating Cool Ranch & Cheddar Cheez-It Twisters and a Coke with Lime...

no idea what will be for dinner. But I bought this already cook garlic herb pearl potatoes and had them last night and the night before and they're soooo good! All you do is sautee them in butter for a few minutes, yummy!!

[sheld0n]

I just came up with a new recipe for scrambled eggs. :)

I call it "Babylonian Scrambled Eggs", because the origins of the ingredients come from diverse places, and because i thought its a cool name. :D
Now, i am never precise about my cooking, so please bear with me if the descriptions are a little vague.
The meal is relatively simple to make though, so i hope that wont be too much of a problem.

What do you need:
Three eggs
Slightly less than two tablespoons of butter
A large slice of Ham
A small Onion
---
Herbes de Provence
Oregano
Thai Red Curry Paste
Salt (preferably vegetable salt)

What do you do:

-Dice the ham and the onion into tiny bits.
-Put the butter on the frying pan, set it on medium power and let it melt.
-Open the eggs onto the frying pan, and throw in the diced onion and ham immediately afterwards.
-Stir to achieve sufficient scrambledness. :p
-Add a minimal amount of Thai Red Curry Paste. And i cant stress this enough, that stuff is really strong.
The amount you take should fit on the tip of a butter knife. Once you add it, stir the whole thing again, to spread it around.
-Add a pinch of Oregano and Herbes, and stir it again a little.
-Turn the gas off, add salt and serve with green tea. :)
It should still be a little bit fluidy when its done.

So anyway, thats pretty much it. I thought you guys might get something out of it. :notme:

[Meltman]

Ben & Jerry's Mint and Cookie ice cream.

Hey, I remember this thread! I killed it! :p

[Alumette]

*welcomes Widdy with a smile and a glass of pinot noir*

[The Widowed]

Cool! I'm more of the cabernet savignon type, but pinot noir will do. :)

*pigs out*

We can send out for a pizza too. I'm buying. :D

[Alumette]

cracked pepper steak with herbes de provence and a sherry reduction, roasted cauliflower with gruyere, a green salad with homemade red wine vinaigrette dressing, and a lovely petite syrah.

Yes folks, Alumette is cooking again. Bless this job action, I have time to indulge in some of my more time-consuming, sensual hobbies!

*happy dances*

[Emerald Sky]

I keep trying to get the bakery department in the supermarket I work in to make a foot long cannoli. They keep refusing.

Until I get that, all other food is meaningless to me :(

[Meltman]

And so...the Meltman said 'LIVE, THREAD!' and thus the thread had new life!

Hmmm, last thing I ate...

Ham and Farmer's Cheese with Mustard on Italian Wheat bread...
Kettle Cooked Potato Chips...
