Nutrition, Wumpette Style

[Miss Philicia]

tl;dr

all I know is I am loving my cup of Federal Donuts P.T.'s Coffee special blend right now.

The best part of waking up is Fancy Faggy Pretentious Java in your cup

[WillyWump]

^ I see what you did there. cute.

[Miss Philicia]

So girls, just got in from my manicure with Jacqui at the hyper-gay Charlie Salon. Then had a lovely cold brew Toddy where they employ an 18-hour extraction technique. Thank you Elixr Coffee. I buy coffee beans there and they always give me cards for free drinks, so basically I never pay when I go except for a tip. Deal! Then I had a craving for carnitas so I hoped over to Taqueria El Jarocho and stared at this muscular young Latino guy eating at the table across from me. His tight white t-shirt exposed everything. And he had divine supple lips that would perfect for eating out my ass for hours.

[Miss Philicia]

Can I have a witness? The massive Tijuana cheeseburger from Rosario's Mexican Pizzeria (one block away!). You can even place your delivery order through facebook! Delish, with a lot of grilled onions and guacamole. AND BACON!

[WillyWump]

That actually looks pretty good, but the bun could have been better I think.

I made Chili dogs for supper, and have just finished partaking in a delightfully sweet Cara Cara Orange.

 

[Miss Philicia]

Kaiser rolls for hamburgers are very Philly. They don't use them in DC or NYC, so I don't know why they do here. And they also like to do some light coating on fries, which again they don't do in either DC or NYC.

[WillyWump]

I dont like any coating on my fries.

 Btw, I make the worlds best fries. What's my secret you ask? Well You use fresh cut potatoes and put them in a pot of cold oil and turn the fire on high and cook them till golden brown. That's right cold oil, not hot. surprisingly this makes less greasy fries and also gives it a crisp crust and sinfully moist center.

[Miss Philicia]

I don't deep fry at home -- greasy, dirty and messy. I make frozen fries, they taste fine if  you get the nice ones with sea salt, and have zero fat. Oprah told me so a decade ago.

btw, when I say places in Philly use kaiser rolls and dusted fries, it's only the local greasy spoon/diner places that do it. The ones that cater to the odd folks known as native Philadelphians. And trust -- they are odd. I live here, I'm not from here.

The more upscale, nouveau hipster spots that I frequent generally do not indulge in this.

[WillyWump]

I make frozen fries,

This doesn't surprise me given the Instant Potatoes in your cupboard.

I bet you own one of those vile deep fat fryers don't you Wumpella? No wonder you pass out when you go jogging.

[WillyWump]

Are you referring to the Presto Frydaddy?



My caught on fire about 10 years ago and I've never replaced it. Btw, dont try to fry an egg in one of those.

PS- LMAO at your avatar

[Miss Philicia]

I've gotten so even when I go out and something has fries I don't eat more than a third of them.

[WillyWump]

I've gotten to where I cant stand the taste of fast food fries, for some reason I cant take the taste of the grease. Maybe my taste is changing again.

Nobody here is going to believe this statement. Would you like me to run a poll to prove my point?

O Hai Hoes.  Ah see nuttin' much changes round this here place.


Willipetta, I'm reporting you for posting pornographic images alluding to bestiality.  I am outraged

Hmmmmm???  This taste changing of yours must be recent, as I seem to recall you scarfing down 2 large order of McDonald Fries in DC last August.

[Miss Philicia]

Oh psych -- another (though non-hipster) Korean double-fried chicken place just opened downtown. And it's on 11th St so right where I often find myself!

http://chickaliciouspa.com/menu-chick-a-licious-philadelphia

Totally going to get the sweet chili and/or wasabi aioli glazed. NO TRANS FAT! NO CHORESTEROL [sic]

Plus don't you love that they're closed on Saturday but open on Sunday - the reverse of Chick-Fil-A. Oh wait -- that's fucked up. Their half chicken is $11 whereas the fancier hipster Chicken & Donut place I've been obsessed with for the past year is $9, plus you get a free donut.

[WillyWump]

 That's only because we had just walked the entire National Mall and were only half-way through the Museum of Natural history. I had to refuel this magnificent machine of a body, and it was either that or dried out Boston Market chicken.

Dang you order 2 lunches in front of a bunch of queens and you can never live it down 

O Hai Hoes.  Ah see nuttin' much changes round this here place.

Oh Hay Rev, nice of you to pop in. Why dont ya come back when you cant stay so long 

[Miss Philicia]

The only time I've seen someone order two meals was when I took a Dominican hustler back to my swanky Oscar de la Renta designed hotel and allowed room service after sex.

[WillyWump]

So I have a dinner date tonight with an old friend from Austin , and I cant decide between The Lion and Rose Pub or the famous La Fonda On Main as ourt dinner destination.

Since undoubtedly he'll want sex afterwards perhaps I should step it up and go all out at La Fonda. However, If we go to Lion and Rose I can rudely watch the Texas Rangers on their big screen while I feign interest in his boring stories.

Of course the Margaritas are better at La Fonda.

hmmm, I hate these decisions.

[Miss Philicia]

Girl please. Ain't no child gonna put out for your donut-filled colon because you shell out for some second-tier platter of flautas and a bad margarita. The only thing you'll be doing after dinner is yanking out that hidden baggie of coke in your top dresser drawer.

[Ann]

Agreed. That was just quackers. Consider yourself warned.

RAMP SEASON HAS ARRIVED IN THE NORTHEAST!

I like a green onion with my corn bread and butterbeans as much as the next guy but I'm not going to throw a party because they are popping up out of the dirt ... how silly . 

Do you have your ramp season party hat on yet Miss P . please 

[Miss Philicia]

A green onion and/or scallion is not the same as a ramp, silly cow. They look similar because they're from the same "family" but taste all together different. Obviously you've never had anything with a true ramp in it.

TRY AGAIN REDNECK.

Careful or I will force you into going to the premier upscale modern vegetarian restaurant in the US when you come visit.

(actually it's supposedly out of this world and I really want to go)

I would love it . One of my fave places in Chicago for breakfast was vegetarian place .

This isn't that wretched old skool type of inedible vegetarian place, full of dirty, filthy hippies. How dare you. This is about the modern artisanal produce revolution popularized by locavore hipsters.

[WillyWump]

Never heard of Ramps. Nor would I celebrate their arrival. Who cares really. Amirite?

Anyways Just got back from the PO after having dropped my Tax return off on time for the first time in at least a decade, and Ive decided to take the rest of the day off and make a celebratory supper.

I will be making Buttermilk Roast Chicken from Smitten Kitchen (thank you MissP for turning me on to that site) Ive been marinating the chicken in buttermilk brine since yesterday. To accompany this delightful dish I will be preparing Jeff's Rosetto Potatoes from the AMG Cookbook. I am also making a Macaroni Salad from a box (thank you Kraft) and Frozen green beans.

Yall Jelly brahs?

Oh Ps- Henry, we are going here next time I'm up, K? Cause if they are selling 12,000 pounds of meat a week I need to be part of that.

[Miss Philicia]

Never heard of Ramps.

Attention Walmart Shoppers: No surprise there.

[mecch]

This isn't that wretched old skool type of inedible vegetarian place, full of dirty, filthy hippies. How dare you. This is about the modern artisanal produce revolution popularized by locavore hipsters.

And yet, Chez Panisse and Moosewood (and soon Bloodroot) were all doing this in the early 70s.....  Though there were some dirty hippies around, the food was already pretty good and the "local" valorised.

An ancient, practically senior citizen now, who enjoyed all 3 as a very YOUNG man, and even worked at one, not to mention that prickly Park Slope Food Coop. WAY before it became insufferable in the new millennium... But yeah, even tastier....

[Miss Philicia]

True, and Alice Waters has always been way ahead.

[mecch]

I remember some REVOLTING vegetarian restaurants in NYC in the 80s. I think the hippies and hippy towns were well in advance of the worldly New Yorkers. 

Not this season, but last, Portlandia had some good gigs about "locavore hipster" a-holes.

I wish we could keep the food, and be rid of the worst of the foodies. 

Also, CHEAPER. 

It should all go All-American and there should be a national, healthy fast food joint thats truly people priced...  Michelle Obama, are you listening? Walmart has FAILED.

[mecch]

I grovelled, in vain, at Jeremiah Tower's feet for a sous-chef post at Stars....
Worked at some restaurants and nightclubs in the Mission, and fed up with SF complications. so fucking complicated......, threw in the towel, went back to NYC and got a job at Credit Suisse / First Boston within mere weeks.

I dunno how it is now, but my experience of SF is that it was a very hard nut to crack.  Easy to be marginal and fabulously eccentric, but much harder than NY to be gainfully employed...

Food nazis can suck my dick.
I was tripping on hash in Geneva on Saturday and I wanted to eat. Most restaurants are so overpriced and mediocre I went to McDonald's.  I got a "Mcdeal menu" it was 8 US bucks, two cheeseburgers, fries, a coke, to go. With a coffee. It was PERFECTLY packaged.  A holder inside to keep it all in place, a perfect crisp bag, and there was a napkin, a straw, two ketchups (you pay for them, as you must pay for EVERYTHING in Suisse, 20 cents each), a creamer.

I had to wait 2 minutes while the COOKED the hamburgers. The buns were toasted, perfect.  There was a cute young guy working and there were 5 girls, count them, hanging on his every breath. They seemed to know him and he was masterly working them with McDo corporate hospitality delivered with irony and immense charm and testosterone.  He gave me my bag and I took it to the quai and watched the sun set on the Jet d'eau. 

I dunno if we need a foodie fast food equivalent but if someone could pull it off, it would make godzillions in profit.

Mecch, sometimes I just absolutely adore you, although it's rare.

[WillyWump]

You know...sometimes when you text someone with a cooking question all that is needed from that person is a quick and concise answer, Not an answer + endless derogatory commentary. Amirite? Anyways, I digress.

For dinner I made Spaghetti with my world famous meat sauce. NOW THAT'S EYE-TALIAN!

For desert I made a lovely Strawberry Trifle with fresh strawberries, blueberries sand bananas. I didn't have a proper Trifle bowl so I had to use a large Tupperware bowl (which I inherited from my mother, thankx mom!). I also forgot to put the crushed pineapple in so I will serve it on the side. Ima take some over to my neighbors after I get through ravishing it. They don't speak english but they love it when I bring surprises for them!

Carry on.

I too have a world famous meat sauce (that I obtained from watching an episode of the Barefoot Contessa LOVE HER).   I would be interested in seeing your recipe.  A good spaghetti and meat sauce is pure comfort food!

I know exactly how you feel Willy , I have somebody that does that to me on a continual basis . I handle it but my sweet gentle disposition is challenged daily .

My tormenter is the bastard love child of Truman Capote and Charles Nelson Reilly , so as we say around here , that boy aint right .
