Nutrition, Wumpette Style

[Miss Philicia]

Do you know who Anthony Bourdain is? He was nursing a hangover and filming part of his Travel Channel show, The Layover, show 4 blocks from my apartment at a Vietnamese soup place And he had dinner at a restaurant I went to last year, and filmed at my favorite cheese shop, and at my favorite sandwich place. Oh, and he also went to the Chinese place I regularly rave about as not being "just any Chinese"... I got it goin' on!

ps: HE DID NOT GO TO CHICK-FIL-A

[Buckmark]

Here are the appetizers Wumpy and I had tonight at AMG in Washington.  Is that plastic cheese on Wumpy's plate?   

DISCUSS!

Will's Appetizer:


Henry's Appetizer:

[Miss Philicia]

That's just sad. I suspect he ate that way every single meal amirite?

Also, what kind of restaurant has both Cheese Whiz Faux Nachos and California Rolls on the menu?

[Buckmark]

Oh, that was his pre-appetizer at the hotel before dinner. Who knows what he had at dinner? We split up for dinner last night - some (me) went for Asian. Others (Will) went for Italian. If he had more cheese there, at least I hope it was real cheese.

[Buckmark]

In the interest of full disclosure, here are the results of my lipid tests which I received from my doctor this morning.  Total cholesterol is 154, HDL is 57, triglycerides are 57, and LDL is 86.  The hand-written numbers are from 6 months ago.

Also in the interest of full disclosure, this is before Jeff, Wumpy and I had our seafood blowout on Sunday afternoon in DC.   

Wump, we're still waiting for your test results!

Will's Appetizer:

That cheese was so freakin good. And you chumps were holding back on me. Yall didn't tell me there was Nachos at our dinner bar, I accidentally found it while I was snubbing my nose at the salads.

Also in the interest of full disclosure, this is before Jeff, Wumpy and I had our seafood blowout on Sunday afternoon in DC.   

To wit:


that was so damn good. Steamed Skrimps, Mussels, oysters, clams, Calamari, Sausage and potatoes, and the best damn Bloody Marys I have ever had (heavy on horseradish). Oh did I mention we order 2 Entrees each ...the Steamed Seafood Pot and the Fried Shrimp...Lipids be damned!

We got seriously wrecked with seafood. And to top it all off I was in the company of two GORGEOUS menz's

 Seriously I was hoping to skirt by the posting of my results. But now that you've done gone and plastered yours up here Queen P will never let me slide.

Results in 2 days. 


Ps- Im quite impressed with your numbers. But im sure mine will be better

It was a lite snack for me ... two hours later we all went out for Chinese . I'm not making this up LOL .

[WillyWump]

Oh shit, I forgot about that,. LOL. It was literally 2 hours later and we ordered full entree's at Kim Il Sungs place.

As Jeff would say.. "We went big that night"

[Buckmark]

Heh... we did have Chinese food about 2 hours after all of that delicious seafood.      Oink!

Also, those Bloody Mary's were most excellent!

[wolfter]

I ate reasonably yet I gained weight while there.  Life is so unfair.  I'm just fortunate we had kitchenettes in our suites as there wasn't much to eat in DC.  Here was my typical dinner.  Not sure why I have a pic though?



Wolfie

[WillyWump]

...as there wasn't much to eat in DC.

Lolwut!?

[Miss Philicia]

... and let it be known that I received a very distressing text demanding to know where the closest Captain D's was located.

[Jeff G]

... and let it be known that I received a very distressing text demanding to know where the closest Captain D's was located.

I will have to take the blame for that text although I didn't send it . I just wanted you to know we were thinking of you and I couldn't think of a better way than arousing your scorn  . 

[bocker3]

Although "someone" (who shall remain nameless....) DID eat, not one -- but TWO McDonalds meals while at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.  The rest of our party had a bit more healthy Boston Market Carver sandwiches -- fresh chicken breast.  Granted, there were many options and he DID give away one of his Diet Cokes.

[wolfter]

Lolwut!?

I only had one true meal the entire time there.  Thanks to Henry, I was able to eat a fabulous meal at a Mexican restaurant.  We found it be accident as it was next door to the liquor store.  Most of the other places we visited as groups didn't have a lot of options and the Asian Waiter scared the hell out of me and I only ordered veggies with bean curd sauce.

I'm sure there was probably something to eat Saturday evening, but I've offically blocked it out.   

[WillyWump]

and the Asian Waiter scared the hell out of me and I only ordered veggies with bean curd sauce.

Yes, he was rather scary... he scared me into a full Orange Beef entree with hot and sour soup.

[Miss Philicia]

Can't you plebes handle the low-fat delicious sushi/sashimi route?

... and I can't imagine eating TWO meals from McDonalds at once.

WHERE IS THAT FUCKING LIPID PANEL RESULT THAT YOU'VE BEEN LYING ABOUT FOR A YEAR?

It was a #2 and a #5.

You people need to realize that this AMAZING frame I sport requires lots of energy to keep it looking so good. Not only that, but I think I walked like 22 miles that day and prob burned off those 2 meal deals within 30 minutes.

[Miss Philicia]

Currently eating a Cobb salad and whole grain bread, no butter. Oolong Magnolia hot tea with a small scoop of raspberry sorbetto.

Whatever. I was sent a text-embed photo of you exiting Dupont Metro station and saw the beginnings of a beer gut and a quickly balding old man.

Did anyone else have blisters and callouses on their feet / toes after all that walking in DC?  My dogs were barking after I got back home.  I spend too much time at my desk all day long.

oh yes, I develop a blister on my little toe. Hurt like hell. It kept popping, OUCH. Of course the sick kicks I was sporting were not really hiking shoes, so I paid the price.

Ohh lookie what I found in VA, Sweet Tea Wine....mmmm-mmmmm.

[Buckmark]

Here is what I prepared for supper last Sunday.  Fresh, wild catch gulf shrimp, done on the BBQ, marinated in lime, tequila, garlic and olive oil.  Server over a salad dressed with balsamic, white wine vingar, olive oil, and a touch of grated parmesan cheese:

I suppose this is why your Lipids are so good?

Don't forget the part about being a wee bit, what shall we say -----  BITCHY, when you are hungry.

I do try to watch my diet.  Obviously I blew that in DC (why do you think I had my tests done *before* AMG?).  Exercise helps -- that's the biggest change I can think of since my last lipid panel.  I also think I have good genetics on my Dad's side of the family (from Italy -- Rome), and my doc says that can make a big difference.

I do get a tad bit sideways when I get hungry

Looks delish, Henry... though we must rethink your plates. So grandmothery!

[Buckmark]

Looks delish, Henry...

Thanks!

though we must rethink your plates. So grandmothery!

It's called vintage, dear.  Mitterteich Bavaria China.

Still, I've been searching for a new set of plates.

[Miss Philicia]

Thanks!

At some point I will inherit a very fussy collection of +100 year old china, all enclosed in a rather fierce roll-top secretary/armoire desk.

However, my personal taste is more iittala. But not the fussy iittala, the simple modernist lines like Teema and Kartia. Their Teema line is now 60 years old -- IS THAT FUCKING VINTAGE?

[Jeff G]

My dinner plates come from the dollar store and they are big to accommodate all the slop I eat , they are so big my cabinet door wont close all the way . Hows that for fancy . 

[Ann]

I have vintage Correlle.

[Miss Philicia]

I have a set of 8 extra large dinner plates (simple, white) that are so large I can't close the cabinet door either. So don't think you're special for one minute. And while I can't claim that they were from a dollar store, they are not "label specific" dishes.

Everything else though is iittala one coffee cup and saucer will set you back $50. Ah, the things I miss from my days being employed

I heard you can get the same things at Ikea.

[Miss Philicia]

I heard you can get the same things at Ikea.

Trust, not as well made -- my ex-roomie in NYC has that Ikea white stuff and while it's OK, it's not as high quality as iittala. You folks will just have to trust me with iittala.

And also don't get me started on the necessities of owning the complete Stelton Cylinda line coffee and tea set in stainless steel or Goran Höngell glassware.

ps: isn't today Official Wumpy Lipid Panel Results Day?

[Jeff G]

So don't think you're special for one minute.

I will never be special until I can get Adap to buy my gourmet cheese for me like you have done .

No body can ever be as special & fabulous  as David is, however we all can take notes watch & learn 

[wolfter]

You all should try eating more veggies.  Special thanks to Henry for sharing how simply he cooks corn on the cob.  I tried the old microwave for 3 minutes thingy with the husk on and it turned out fabulous.

I read on-line from a woman who freezes it in the husks and also microwaves it for 5 minutes with excellent results.  I froze an ear yesterday and was totally happy with the results.

Bitches please

ANY self-respecting Queen knows that the ONLY vintage China to have is the Royal Crown Derby in the Old Imari pattern.

I long for a set of this.. oh but dont break it, a teacup alone will cost you about $255. An entire dinner set will run you about $8,000...




PS- I have Lipid results in hand

This is the ONLY way to eat corn. 

I've never tried the freezer route though.

[Miss Philicia]

Southern queers have such bad taste levels.

Now scan your lipid panel results and post them.

[wolfter]

Southern queers have such bad taste levels.

Is that because we don't believe in eating bait?

[WillyWump]

BITE ME!!

I think I need to celebrate with a Bates Special from Burger Boy 









ohhh, and btw, the chol is down from 232. 

[WillyWump]

. AND WHERE THE FUCK ARE THOSE RESULTS FROM HIS LIPID PANEL LAB TESTS?

*ahem*

Cat got your tongue? oh and keep in mind these results were with NO fish oil.

[Miss Philicia]

These results clearly are forgeries. One must assume that you learned to lie with such ease during your sad, pathetic attempt at being a married heterosexual.

[ds4146]

Your numbers seem "desirable", however they seem old. You did go to DC, and you were the one with two happy meals, two cokes, right? Just saying.

Bahahahahaha! you queens just refuse to accept the fact that even though I frequent teh drive-thrus  I have pretty decent Lipids. Dont hate me 

[WillyWump]

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that after I received my lipid results I stopped by the Golden China Buffet ($6.99), and had Buffet sushi...
