Nutrition, Wumpette Style

[ds4146]

btw, I now have a gourmet hipster hot dog and craft beer place in an old auto body shop near me, and the best part is I can go play Skee Ball there!

Skeebo will be thrilled you that you can play with him I am sure.
It actually sounds like a great place to go for some fun. Enjoy.

Dinner was a sensible salad and 4ml of intramuscular Testo Cypionate in the thigh, oh and a piece of Key lime pie for dessert 

oh ps- yes those are purple silk polyester sheets, the boys just love them!

[Miss Philicia]

Miss P had a Cobb salad, fresh strawberries on fromage blanc, and a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie.

So basically you had a salad and bacon with a few veggies thrown in and some white cheese, plus a not so healthy Chocolate chip cookie...I have to admit I've had much better.

Actually my Cobb salad didn't have bacon.

Then it was not a Cobb salad..not a true Cobb salad.

It's very good, but you have to put those french fried onions on the top.

YIKES!!!

Looks like dog food.

agreed. disgusting.

[WillyWump]

take another percoset, your bitchiness is breaking through!

[anniebc]

Looks like dog food.

And Miss P is back!, looks like the pills are wearing off.

Seriously I hope you are not suffering too much, and you have a house boy to run after you and get you your gourmet coffee and cookie's.

Well better soon

Well fuck me -- today is National Cheeseburger Day and I'm homebound ;(

[Jeff G]

Does 5 guys deliver ? I will have a burger to your door within the hour . 

[darryaz]

Well fuck me -- today is National Cheeseburger Day and I'm homebound ;(

It's times like this that I miss In -N- Out Burger.

[Miss Philicia]

They actually just closed one of our two Five Guys located downtown. Isn't that kind of unheard of? It was weird -- this one was always empty while the other one had a lot of foot traffic.

That said, now that we have Shake Shack here I think I will be switching my loyalties. The burgers are slightly better, slightly less greasy, and the interiors of the actual restaurant are much nicer. Extra credit for serving beer and wine... oh, and onion rings!

Plus this is located directly across the street for dessert if you don't want a shake.

[Jeff G]

I have been doing super good on my diet but just thinking about a good old juicy burger from 5 guys makes me want to splurge . Its cheeseburger day so it would un-American to not have a burger .   

[darryaz]

In honor of Cheeseburger Day I made my Mom go to a local burger joint with me.  It was delish.

[Miss Philicia]

*ding ding ding* Philadelphia just won #1 Hotel Bar for the entire US.

Cheeseburgers are OK.  But hamburgs with ketchup, mustard, and pickles.  Or hamburgs with lettuce tomato and fat slices of onion and creamy dressing, like tahini or yoghurt based dressings...  Who wants the cheese then.

[WillyWump]

dammit. story of my life. It's Cheeseburger Day and I have a bad belly I'll jsut have to celebrate tomorrow.

It's times like this that I miss In -N- Out Burger.

weren't those only in the West? I remember going to one in Vegas and it was amazeballs! Rumor has it Austin is getting one though.

[darryaz]

I looked at their website and they're in the DFW area now.

[WillyWump]

Cute read.

I can relate as I only go in to Whole Foods for fruit but always come out with my fruit PLUS Kambucha or a $14 bag of Hemp seeds

[Miss Philicia]

You can only obtain decent fruit at Whole Foods? It really is Shit Antonio.

or Central Market. Otherwise it's just plain Navel oranges or red delicious apples, and who the hell eats that shit anyways?

[mitch777]

really? we get a choice of 5 or 6 apples and 2 or 3 oranges in the off season at our major grocery chain. got to travel 17 minutes drive though. I think you live in Sad Antonio.

[Miss Philicia]

Seriously. My neighborhood supermarket easily has half a dozen types of apples, maybe more right now. And always of suitable quality. Grapefruit, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, etc.

Oh, and it's four blocks away!

[Miss Philicia]

Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownies baking. Unfortunately I don't have any vanilla ice cream to go with them.

Maybe tomorrow I will crawl down four flights of stairs with my crutches and hobble around the corner to the tiny grocer, but they only stock very low-brow items. I have to mail something at the post box anyway.

[wolfter]

I was going to post this link as a new topic, but I guess here is also appropriate.  I subscribe to Readers Digest and wasn't sure of my take away on this article.  Definitely some food for thought.

The late summer crop of local plums is abundant.  These are the very dark oblong ones. 
Today i had a handful, so sweet, so fruity, and perfect texture.  They tasted like a million bucks, frankly.   Like the best jam. Like the best fruit jellies from the most luxurious old lady sweet shop in Zurich. Like plum gelato from some ancient gelateria on a remote island in the Venice Lagoon.

you smokin' the Ganja this afternoon?

[Miss Philicia]

Is it fresh fig season yet?

[mecch]

Local figs have been around since August but they are never ever in the markets. Imported figs are out all summer...

[Miss Philicia]

It's lamb merguez sausage and root vegetable/mushroom pot pie night!

[mecch]

you make that pie or buy it. sounds delish

[Miss Philicia]

I bought it, but I don't think it would be so hard to master at home. Delicious I must add.

[WillyWump]

All You Can Eat SKRIMPS at Red Lobster!

Here's the first round of Breaded and Skampi, second round was breaded and Skampi again, then third round was Wasabi and Skampi. Then I crapped out.



* I hope I didnt offend anyone with my wanton spending

[Jeff G]

You went big .

[WillyWump]

Go big or go home.

and I told him not to bring me no stinking salad beforehand, I needed all available gut room for the skrimps.

[mitch777]

[mecch]

Do they tell you what kind of shrimp it is.

My mom tells me that Red Lobster does have a fresh fish available but you have to ask which one it is because it changes.

The consumer report TV show investigated shrimp a week or so ago. Travelled to vietnam and showed all the ways shrimp get to us. Bio.  Small farmers. Big producers..  Then tested all the shrimp in swiss groceries.  Dismal results....
I stopped buying farmed shrimp a few years ago because I heard it was iffy.  The tv report confirmed. 
I won't pass it up if its an ingredient in some sort of hors d'oeuvre but basically I figured what I liked most about shrimp was the sauces and what not.  So why not use an ingredient that is less iffy...

Envious of those who live by the sea or bayous and can buy real, fresh shrimp...

On that note, farmed salmon tastes like "salmon flavored mouse" to me. Which is tasty, somewhat... but again, im liking the bread, and the cream, cream cheese, or sauce. wild smoked salmon, you want it on a dry cracker, plain. Yum.

[WillyWump]

The best shrimp in the world is Texas Gulf Shrimp, and this was not that.

[Miss Philicia]

You have to investigate and buy from a place where you know the source. There are some new environmentally sound/sustainable farmed shrimp on the eastern shore of Maryland -- no antibiotics, etc. unlike what comes from Asian and South American farmed shrimp. Of course, some hipsters are raising this shrimp. And I saw it on TV too!

No doubt Wumpy's all-you-can-eat shrimp was from some place that pumps it full of toxins.

[mecch]

When I can't afford wild salmon, which is most of the time these days, I buy smoke herring. Its not farmed, its cheap, it tastes like fish and its delicious...
Though the worrywarts tell me its overfished... Ruining eveything.

[mecch]

They visited a bio production in Vietnam. Its not just the west that is hip and pc about food production and interested in whole foods, sustainable food production etc etc.
I saw another doc about quality food production in China, which exists, and in demand.  We just don't get it... We get the crap.

[WillyWump]

No doubt Wumpy's all-you-can-eat shrimp was from some place that pumps it full of toxins.

Red Lobster's shrimp is sourced from the luscious and bountiful shrimp farms of Ecuador <interesting read btw.

Philly gets a great write-up in the UK Guardian newspaper (they even mention the great authentic tacos in my hood -- sorry Guilhermina!):

Philadelphia's food and restaurant renaissance

[WillyWump]

Philadelphia's food and restaurant renaissance

well. It's about time Philadelphia catches up with what Dallas, Houston and to a lesser extent Austin have been doing for the last 10 years 

Welcome to the big-time Filthydelphia

[mecch]

Doesn't every big city have foodies and some good restaurants??
Doesn't every big city have relatively interesting gay scene?
Doesn't every big city have hipster enclaves?
etc etc etc

I liked the slide show of cities where you can get big Queen Annes and such, for peanuts....  (As the last little unknown city I checked in Switzerland, 5 room smallish but good condition houses were still over a million.... )

[Miss Philicia]

well. It's about time Philadelphia catches up with what Dallas, Houston and to a lesser extent Austin have been doing for the last 10 years 

I doubt New York chefs move to those places, which is what the article was about. No New Yorker wants to be serving food to a table full of Ted Cruz lookalikes.
