no one should be eating those 100 calorie backs- it's processed, HFCS loaded crap. Want a 100 calorie snack? Eat an apple or a banana and get some antioxidants and vitamins too while you're at it. Wake up America.
the meal I've been dreaming about the last 3 years since I haven't been to New England since I moved to the lovely Rocky Mountain yet completely landlocked state of Colorado: steamers dug that morning at low tide, lobster straight off the boat bought on the way home from a day at the beach, corn from the farm stand and Sam Adam's Summer....All eaten outside at the picnic table situated in the small patch of grass between the cottage and the dock as the sun sets over the great salt pond.
Lucky Charms with strawberries or maple frosted Shredded Wheat with blueberries and Silk Light Plain Soy Milk. Haven't had either in a while though. I've had the same box of Multi-grain Cheerios in my cabinet for a while.
Oh. I like this one. Chinese Buffet. But I always eat the "un-Chinese food" like the sushi (I know, not good stuff but who wants to waste good sushi on a hangover), kimchi (the buffet is in a very Korean part of Denver), Wonton soup, lo mein and whatever else has some sort of fish or shellfish in it and one of those fried sugar covered dough things. And lots of Ice Tea with lemon and sweet n low. It still meets the greasy, protein and carb categories but for some reason this is lighter to me and I can go to the gym about 3 hours later.
Ellio's pizza. Saw it in NY when I was last there but not out here in Colorado. I didn't know planter's stopped making Cheez Balls. Bummer. What about the Potato Stix? I think Big League Chew is making a come back this summer. I've seen it in several places just this past weekend. I hadn't seen a sweettarts lollipop in ages either, which i used to get after little league games but then I saw one in a candy shop on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder. That place has all the candy I've seen as lost here. Oh yeah, Haribou definitely still makes gummi bears.
hmm...all the states I've spent time in:
NY= neopolitan (classic for a classic)
LA- I like the Pecan Praline but maybe Hurricane flavor for NOLA (that Pat O's kind, not the Katrina kind)
SC- hmmm...grits? Sweet grit flavor...not sure
AL- an ode to history- Chocolate and Vanilla
TN- Whiskey...easy one
NH- I don't think Lobster ice cream would fly, maybe salt water taffy pieces in sweet cream?
RI- I agree with Coffee or Lemon but maybe it should be Coffee with donut chunks?
CO- Rocky Road...once again, buffalo flavor= Not a Good Idea!!!
Who says I stopped eating Easter candy...Cadbury Mini Eggs are the best. They are NOT the creme filled things. Never had those. Never want them. As a kid we always got the malted eggs, Jelly Bellies stuffed into those plastic eggs, and some little toy like a kite or a small lego kit or a Playmobile figure. Mom bought a few lbs of jelly beans and kept the leftover ones hidden. When she wasn't around, I'd search high and low until I found them. My grandmother made a rabbit shaped yellow cake with whipped cream frosting and then covered with coconut and it had large jelly bean eyes and nose.
ooooh sandwiches. My current favorite is on whole wheat italian from this obscure baker in Cairo, NY (please send more, Mom), toasted with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, extra sharp (preferably white) cheddar cheese and Helman's Light Mayo. So good.
I also love love love the real mufaletta from Central Grocery in NO,LA.
And another homemade favorite, roasted deli turkey, bread and butter pickle slices, roasted red peppers, spicy muctard, spinach and provolone, grilled.
I'll pretty much make a sandwich out of anything I can find though. I
Lobster and clam rolls come in hot dog buns so the bread doesn't take away from the flavor of the seafood inside. It's simple. But everyone's right. The Giants play in Jersey however if you've ever met someone from north Jersey, they always claim to be from "the city" so there's that...food wise, NY wins by a long shot but its a far more diverse city than Boston and bigger too. Go Giants.
Christmas morning has always been grapefruit halves with honey, scrambled eggs, toasted english muffins with butter and jam, panettone, bacon, and Kippers, or Scottish smoked herring steamed in a plastic bag, orange juice, tea and coffee. .This hasn't changed once for as long as I can remember and it's alway made in the morning, before any presents could be opened.
@uaskigyrl--LOL, if I let my Labrador Retrievers eat until they were full, I'd be broke and they'd be too fat to move.
Besides, doesn't anyone notice that most dogs, and animals for that instance, will only eat until they are full? At least all the dogs that I've had will....no more, no less....
That's ridiculous, I believe that nobody should really "diet", everything in moderation...stop eating when you're ful, eat a square meal (a meat, a starch, and a veggie, with a salad on the side), enjoy a small serving of dessert every once in awhile.
I don't know, I just don't get it
the 100-calorie pack idea was good when it first came out, cos it's made sense--things that could be portioned into 100-calorie servings logically, and still be enough to provide something to munch on--it was originally cheezits, pretzels, that kind of thing.
but now it's just gotten retarded...i saw a 100 calorie pack the other day for fuckin' cupcakes.
stupid.
@ love2cook, it would work for you, if you didn't have possession of opposable thumbs and permission to open the fridge. Seriously, if someone else was in charge of doling out portions of food for you, and you had no control over what or how much you ate, the person in control could easily regulate your weight. It wouldn't be fun, but it would work.
i think it's indicative: we shouldn't eat something we shudder to give our pets...
I make my dogs treats and dog food she is perfectly fit dog. If she looks thin i give her more if she looks fat i give her less. this does not work for me but she is the perfect weight, me on the other hand........
A truly resourceful dog will just eat their own poop if they're still hungry after that 100-calorie pack.
@wookie- That's why Noodle, my Daschund/Beagle mix has to ride in the cart at Petco. Otherwise, he'd eat ALL the 100-calorie packs--as an appetizer.
@db--I saw them, too, as my 5 month old black lab was about to stick his entire head into treat bulk bin! I do recall rolling my eyes and shaking my head at that latest gimmick.
The newest phenomenon is already upon us folks. At www.youbars.com, you can create your own snack bars using a variety of ingredients such as proteins, nuts, fruits, seeds, sweeteners, etc. As you build, the site tells you how many calories you are packing into your bar. Another similar site allows you to create your own cereal mix and actually name it. It, too, counts the calories as you go. I never checked the cost, but you can bet they're pricier than your standard energy bar.
