What did you eat today?
Quote: EvenBobQuote: billryanMy first time eating at a Texas Roadhouse was a rousing success. I picked up a $100 gift card for $62 from a Choice Hotels incentive, so I looked at everything as if it was 40% off. Our server was outstanding and helped us go over the menu, pointing out some choices that aren't so obvious. I was going to get the T-bone but went with the NY cut instead. Their rolls and butter could be a meal by themselves.
Everything seemed Texas-sized, and the service was outstanding. With the 40% off, it was cheap enough but I won't be in a rush to go back. It's hard to put my finger on why, the food was great, but the atmosphere wasn't me.

I'm jealous that you people can eat this crappy food and keep your young boyish figures intact. I'd weigh 300 lb if I ate it places like that on a regular basis. I don't even eat much red meat anymore, maybe once a month. Rolls and butter? I wouldn't be able to button my pants in a week.

Use my diet plan, one meal a day and lots of bad snacks. I have stayed between 155 and 170 for most of the last 40 years.
The wife is making braised short ribs tonight and they are smelling excellent.

They sell veggies? I didn't notice?

According to the website menu, one of the side dishes is steamed veggies.
I believe it is possible to order a salad.

Oh my gosh, only 8 or 10 more healthy choices and I might even eat there. Not

As comedian Steve Hofstetter has pointed out, for a boycott to have any meaning, there must be a change in purchasing habits.
(He says "You don't use these things". I forget which show, but it's available on the Youtube.)
Chickpeas use about 10% of the water needed for many other Arizona-grown products, so they are pushed to use more of them.

Brussels Sprouts. Cabbage. Wood chips. Tuna. Parmesan cheese. The only thing I can be sure of is the Brussels Sprouts.
I may make light of EB’s cooking, but I’m sure I would like that, whatever it is. The only EB foods that would be not for me are the ones that include fried eggs.

They are not wood chips but if you eat highly processed food you're eating wood everyday in the form of sawdust. Foods like ice cream, whole wheat bread, granola bars, package cookies, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast cereal, bottled salad dressings, cake mix, corn and flour tortillas, cheese spreads, coffee creamer. All these items and more contain sawdust from wood. Yummy.
Breakfast: a Costco protein bar, and a mug of coffee
Lunch: two corn dogs, cooked in my Foodi Ninja in air fryer mode (warning: the sticks get hot)
Dinner: frozen leftover pizza

Do you eat the same menu every week?

Some sort of salad, with croutons, doused in mustard and adorned with black pepper?

Red salmon and avocado salad with celery, Tomatoes, spring mix, cabbage, onion, homemade croutons. Made my own honey Dijon dressing and it was terrific. Best dressing I ever made.
I've been buying fresh ravioli recently, but these were typical supermarket small square ravioli. They are cheaper but not nearly as good.
Quote: billryanI pan-fried some imitation ground beef, then tossed a half jar of Classico traditional sauce and a few herbs and spices. Meanwhile, a bag of Albertsons cheese ravioli was in the microwave. When they were about 3/4 of the way cooked, I placed them in the frying pan and added a couple of fingers' worth of ricotta cheese. Three or four minutes of stir-frying and I had a nice dinner and lunch for tomorrow.

What is imitation ground beef? I don't think that I have ever heard that term before. Is it plant based?

Yes, I've been using Impossible plant-based ground beef, but yesterday I tried Morningstar. Between the sauce and cheese, it all taste the same- ground beef, ground turkey, ground plant.
but I haven't had one in years.

Once upon a time, you'd have been a New Year's baby. When the Church switched to January 1st as the New Year, the holdouts were castigated as fools, out of touch with the modern world.

I have never had one and have wanted one for about 30 years. There was no Carvel in Las Vegas and when I moved here to Florida the closest one was over two hours away so the wife would not go get me one. Recently they opened one in Fort Myers so this will be my best birthday ever.

Carvel cakes are sold in some supermarkets, although maybe not Fudgie. I'd have insisted on a road trip to NYC for the real thing.

New York City is not one of my favorite places to visit so even a Fudgie the Whale would not be enough of an incentive.

I've been to New York City a couple times and every time I'm there I'm thinking how do people live here on purpose. It's super crowded, super expensive, it stinks all the time like garbage and exhaust fumes, has high crime, and the people are unfriendly. Yet millions of people choose to live there and move there all the time. I don't get it.

The movie did a good job of presenting the struggles of ethics the group faced with eating the bodies of their friends and loved ones.

I don't think I would have a problem eating a dead human in that situation as long as I could cook the meat.

I've said it to people from New York before and they say things like, well, in the same block where my apartment is I can buy pizza at 1:00 in the morning or Chinese takeout. And I'm thinking, are you 12 years old? That's not a reason to live somewhere, that you can eat crappy food anytime you want and it's within walking distance.

In the movie Hombre Paul Newman plays a guy raised by Native Americans. At one point this rich white woman is saying that she would never eat a dog like the Indians do. Paul Newman's character says you get hungry enough you will not only eat the dog you'll fight over the bones. People have no idea what it's like to be really hungry.

I think that I am very unusual in that I don't think that I ever get hungry. There are plenty of times that I want to eat but that is mainly for taste and mouth feel. I am not even sure what being hungry feels like. I have probably told this story before but in college once I went five days without eating and didn't even realize it. I was too busy working on a project that was consuming 20 hours a day and never thought of food.
The dinner was prepared and served by Homeboy employees and as a fundraiser,it seemed pretty successful. I mainly went for the networking and think I may have found the situation I sought.
Dinner was Prime Rib, roasted potatoes, and street corn.

I can't eat those chickens because they don't taste like chicken. They're injected with a saline and brine solution that contains a whole bunch of sugar and salt and a chemical list as long as your arm. They make the chicken juicier and way saltier and heavier. One three ounce serving of Kirkland chicken has 450 mg of salt which is 20% of the salt which you need in an entire day. And 3 oz is nothing. It's a few bites. To me their chicken tastes horrible, has a chemical plastic taste to it but you won't be able to tell because you probably eat it all the time.

I probably get these chickens once a month. You will not be surprised, but I add salt and pepper to it.
