I usually end up purchasing Luigi's delicious pina colada flavored italian ices or Haagen-Dazs's raspberry sorbet / yogurt bars. If It was calorie-free, I would order a coffee ice cream from Haagen-Dazs and pour rainbow sprinkles all over it. Describe your favorite ice cream, I want to know!
do you simply enjoy hard-boiled or soft-boiled eggs? or perhaps you like them scrambled or do you prefer them sunny side up instead. i personally prepare only the egg whites and "poach" them in vinegar w/ garlic powder, salt, pepper, basil. i serve w/ salad and a side of ketchup. how about you?
Coffee icecream w/ rainbow sprinkles on a sugar cone!
Tiramisu
Baklava

2 egg whites cooked in vinegar and garlic
Turkey
Honey Wheat or Bagel w/ Jelly
Apple? or none
Vanilla Coffee w/ Sugar and Skim Milk
Ketchup and Garlic! and Salad!
watermelon! nectarines, grapes, sorbet, fruit-flavored popsicles
warm italian bread and chilled milk poured inside
i would break chicken bones with my teeth and suck the bone marrow out.
I too missed this, and it's fun!
When I was in fourth grade I was seated at lunch where there was a sort of protrusion in the cafeteria wall just behind me. Other kids had to squeeze by to get to their seats. I made some wild gesture, hit a tray passing behind my head and ended up wearing a bowl of tomato soup just like a hat.
"Tomato head" in the yearbook eight years later -- guess who?
I doubt I can come even close to the cleavage [silver]wear... but here's my worst food moment:
For several weeks last year I attended class with my daughter.
One morning just before school the girl was putting the milk back in but pushed out the Palek Paneer (spinach & Indian cheese) leftovers. I had tried this one shelf stable brand but it was icky. I'd put it in the fridge because that's where things go to rot; at which time I can feel okay about tossing them but, until then I try to convince myself I'll be eating it soon. So, with the child's help there was green stuff everywhere including all up and down her legs just before we needed to leave and we were already running late. But really, we had to clean it up, and we did, but what a comedy of errors. I pulled the garbage out so it would be right next to her and after I did that she went over and dropped things under the sink not realizing the garbage was no longer there. In the car I told her she'd done me a favor because I hated that spinach. Will I ever stop blowing her mind away?
For lunch while she was in math class, I ran down to our store that has a great organic deli section with fresh hot food that changes seasonally, each day's selections even depending on what the farmers bring in that morning. It was a special delight to find out what veggies they were having everyday. Apparently that day though there was a bounty of mushrooms as everything had them in it so there was nothing I wanted.
Anyway, no hot veggies for me so I put together a salad, putting some bleu cheese dressing in a little plastic container. Then I went to the check out lines because the one by the food was backed up. I managed to get behind some lady apparently confusing the store for the bank because she wanted something like $25 in ones and a roll of quarters but handed them $40 which the checkout girl couldn't conceive that meant $5 left over so she was short-circuiting. I was about to move to the next line but someone scooped it before I could so I was freaking a bit on the time left to get back before 4th period ended.
Finally, my turn and I stepped forward. That's when the dressing container flung itself out of my hand over to the next checkout I had wanted to jump to, up against this lady's shoes where it exploded and went all up and down her legs and shoes. In slow motion no less. It doesn't look like much when it's in one of those little containers but when it's on a person it seems like so much more. I'm just grateful she was wearing a skirt rather than pants because I would have destroyed those. It was awful. I'm still horrified.
She was really nice about it but it's not like I could help her get clean; that would have been completely creepy. She said, "It's not like things such as this happen everyday." at which point I told her about the spinach not 4 hours hours earlier.
Thanks for reviving the thread. I'd missed it earlier and this gave me a bunch of giggles. Great stories. :)
We were in Beaune, France, when my moment occurred. It was in 1988 and my first trip to France. The restaurant in our hotel (Hotel de la cloche) was very famous so we had dinner there one night. It was the off season and only one other couple was in the place, so it was very quiet. Nate and I were conscious of the fact that we needed to add to the quiet, so we spoke in whispers. That's the back story. I decided to order les escargots because they were traditional to the region and I'd never had them. The waiter handed me a device that looked like an eyelash curler. I had no idea what it was for but took a guess that maybe it was meant for holding the snail. I picked it up, closed it around the shell, and then the device snapped out of my hands, clattered across two tables and finally fell on the floor. I would gladly have climbed into one of those shells if I could have. The other couple looked up at me and the man said..."It is a different way of life, is it not?" We all laughed....and then gabbed away for the rest of our dinners. PS, no harm was done to those snails...the waiter brought some pate for me, something I could handle!
8 yrs old. I was in charge of the mashed potatoes for the Sunday dinner. Company coming -- had to make it good. My first ever anything in the kitchen. I used 1 CUP of salt rather than 1 tsp. HORRID. 30 years ago and my family STILL won't let me bring potatoes to dinner.
I used to work at a coffee shop.
Our milk came in normal 1 gallon plastic jugs and we had a trick for conserving space in the trash can when we threw away the empty jugs... we'd steam it and then stomp it (the heat would make it easier to compact them).
So one night I was steaming and stomping a bunch of jugs and for some reason, my co-worker put the cap back on a steamed-but-not-yet-stomped jug. I didn't realize it so I put the jug on the floor and jumped REALLY hard on the jug.
It was like a gun went off in the cafe! The cap flew about 30 feet and hit one of our customers. Luckily it didn't hurt him but boy did I feel like an ass.
thought it was time to revive this thead; another one got me thinking how young I started cooking unsupervised...
I started wearing glasses in 6th grade, but was never happy how I looked in them. It wasn't until high school that I wore them at home, I figured I already knew where everything in the house was. So this was sometime between then.
I had made a chicken stir fry for my parents, and they commented on the fresh lemon seasoning I had used. I didn't think about the fact that I hadn't put any kind of citrus in until my dad's tongue started to go numb, followed by mine and my mother's. I had grabbed the Lemon Pine-Sol instead of the Mazola oil - in a certain size they come in the same bottle! We called poison control and he assured us that a few tablespoons between the 3 of us didn't warrant medical attention and made a point to tell me to always cook with my glasses on from now on.
I always did after that! Just after I met my husband, though, I brushed my teeth with antibiotic cream, so he got me LASIK for my 30th birthday this year. It's safe to eat at my house again!!!
Wow, the original post is almost a year old, so I've got to wonder how the plan worked. Did you stick to it, did you lose the weight, and did you keep it off?
Personally, I don't think this is the best idea, I understand trying to cut down on refined carbs, but I think moderation is key. Carbs are not evil and once you return to eating carbs you will gain most of the weight back. That being said, damascus flax flat bread is the best, i used it to make sandwiches, wraps, and pizza.
I too am trying to change my eating style by cutting down on carbs. Weird thing is I thought i would be successfull in never eating bread again. I had a feeling my will power would carry me through the journey of leaving bread....but hey 3 days later and Im freaking crzy. I have been longing for bread, and yeah in a way Im having withdrawals..no lie. I used to eat atleast 8 servings of bread in various ways a day so why ever did I think I could just quit.
Wut I learned: you cant just quit cold turkey...its impossible.
Start by taking out certain things like say, one less piece of toast a breakfast, skipping an extra bowl of rice. Moderation is the key. You must take it one day at a time.
Rachael, Guy and SLoP should be BANNED. Every Rachael recipe I've tried has come out like s**t.
I love just about everyone else on the FN.
