Nutrition, Wumpette Style

[Miss Philicia]

I'm afraid to drink alcohol until I know what's going on with my liver -- though I know I'll still do so anyway when I go to NYC as it's the once time a year I drink a bit. At least I'm having my ultrasound done before departure.

*sigh*

Um, that looks good but I will stay clear of the last question Julia.

Oh trust, Imma blow up the bedroom tonight after that meal.

And you wonder....

ps- why is there a little pile of scallions bunched up in the corner of the plate?

It makes the dish POP. Geez, don't you know anything about presentation?

[Miss Philicia]

Because your bad taste and lack of sophistication is reflected in your dish ware?

This might be a clue to your relationship status / Question that you asked

Because they are afraid very very afraid

I saw that and was shocked, I expected that kind of news to come from McDonalds.

I have developed an addiction for Ricola Elderflower sugar free Herb drops , though Heroin is cheaper these are better for me.

GASP!!

 My fave Stuffed Shells have half a days worth a sodium! So given the amt of salt I had for breakfast, If I eat this for lunch then I have to have a glass of water and a celery stick for dinner! LOVELY

[Miss Philicia]

You need a bag of Doritos for dessert.

I already told you it's not proper to taunt an AIDS patient with bad kidneys and crippling pain

Celery is high in sodium. 

[Jeff G]

I am severely addicted to massive amounts of sunflower seeds that I eat every day . I eat the kind in the shell that is roasted and salted . I have slightly low blood pressure so my doctor says as long as that and my kidney function is OK its not a problem . Its a whole lot of salt but I will have a hard time not eating them when the day comes I cant .

[Miss Philicia]

I knew you were addicted to those but I always assumed that they were unsalted. I'm amazed you take in that much salt daily.

What about hypertension -- you're not on any Bp meds yet? I went on them at the age of 40 and I've never been a salt addict in my life.

I do not have hypertension or any history of heart disease . I actually took a bag of the seeds just to show my endocrinologist how much salt I was getting and she told me what I shared . 

[BT65]

I have low BP also, always have.  When I was in the hospital, it got down to 75/40.  I have also been told I should eat a lot of salt, I really don't, but when I get labs, my sodium level is always a little low. 

[Jeff G]

Im a salt junky LOL .

Im grilling ribs out today and making a pot of field peas with fried corn bread fritters .

Real cornbread with no sugar .

[mecch]

I like this in the winter especially, and its good to snack on along with trail mix when out for a long walk.  For trail mix I like salted nuts mixed in with unsalted nuts and dried fruit of course. 

In winter I crave dried figs (but not TOO dried.. still kinda moist and succulent).  Must be a mineral in them or something

[Miss Philicia]

I think you should make a Cornbread Cake with Buttercream Icing.

soak in warm water for 20 minutes -- some people soak them overnight. And of course you can also throw in something you're cooking. I have about 20 of them right now in the fridge.

[Jeff G]

I made a big mess with my fried corn bread fritters . I put too much baking powder I think .

Best. Yogurt. Ever.

Siggi's, Icelandic style strained yogurt.

It is so Good, first time I've tried it. Its even thicker than the greek yogurt. I can only find it at Whole Foods here. It's $2.19 so a bit more than Dannon Oikos, but so worth it. This is the blueberry which is my fave flavor of yogurt, but I bought the coconut to try also.

Moron -- I discussed this about three years ago. And it's actually made in Brooklyn.

Of course I had the real thing 8 years ago.

LAWL I was going to say I think we previously discussed this. But I'm pretty sure it was Rev. who brought up Siggie's. So you fail. again.

uh, no August 28, 2010 even pre-dates this entire thread so I first mentioned this subject 3.5 years ago thankuverymuch.

So you fail. again. epically.

ps: Speaking of Rev. Moon -- he called me on the phone last night to say Happy Birthday. He did not request that I relay a "hello" to you.

[WillyWump]

btw, speaking of yogurt, have y'all tried the Dannon French Onion Yogurt Dip? Or the HelluvaGood Yogurt dips? They are great! and much better than the sour cream based dips.

  I was just trying to get your goat with that last one. And I succeeded!

[WillyWump]

LOOK.

Yes that says "Mango & Jalapeno". 

It's pretty good, does Siggi's even make a bad flavor? This one leaves a slight heat/fire on your pallette but otherwise you cant taste jalapeno.

Coconut Siggi's is still my fave.

National Margarita Day: Where to Find Skinny Margaritas in Philly Restaurants

Time for me to get busy tomorrow -- Guilhermina will still be throwing back the same slop at the the Egyptian-Persian Taco Shack while I have my pick of:

La Calaca Feliz: Chiquita Margarita
2321 Fairmount Avenue, Fairmount

Cantina Dos Segundos: Skinny Girl Margarita
921 North 2nd Street, Northern Liberties

Tequilas: Skinny Margarita
1602 Locust Street, Rittenhouse

El Vez: La Flaquita Rita
121 South 13th Street, Center City

Taqueria Feliz: Chiquita Margarita
4410 Main Street, Manayunk

however, my money is on the Ranstead Room, 2013 Ranstead Street -- the elitist speakeasy with no sign on the door or even a web site though there's always yelp, entrance through a back alley... gritty, urban. You know the drill. And you can also sneak through the kitchen of El Rey if you're in good with the help. I'm going with the Tamarind Margarita

No,,,Sahid got in trouble with the Health Dept (45 demerits) so I will be patronizing Casa Molino for the next week or so until Sahid can get rid of the gnats.

There's a guy who has eaten nothing but pizza for 25 years

There's a guy who has eaten nothing but pizza for 25 years

"..it sometimes results in his blacking out on the kitchen floor in his underwear with frozen food scattered around him"

This could easily be me after a night of drinking.

Interesting.  It's like a total opposite of someone who, say in childhood, had to eat the same thing for a long period of time, and subsequently avoids it in the future.

[mecch]

The guy has EDNOS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_disorder_not_otherwise_specified

Its a pity he can't enjoy a variety of food and must limit where he can eat...

I decided to make Cheddar Broccoli Chicken soup today. I saved some small florets to put in at the end but wanted to puree the celery, onions, and most of the broccoli.

Went to grab the immersion blender and the cord was caught on something in the cupboard. Silly me kept tugging. Turned out it was caught on the blade of the mandolin. 

Kenny is bringing home a new one.

To be topped with scallions and croutons. (yes, the croutons are homemade but slightly overcooked. lol)
