Everything FOOD.

When did food porn become the thing to do? I see at least 3 food pics a day on social networks. If I really ate with my eyes, I'd probably be fat.

This thread really makes me hungry haha... Wish I could cook.

I agree. It's a great way to find out all the things I haven't tried... but mainly just making me hungry haha.

Originally posted by Piranha tried a hot turkey & provolone snadwhich from Costco today.  It had all the qualities of being good (margarinated grilled bread, turkey, melty provo, etc), but, on the second bite, I got the strong taste of latex (you gotta wash latex gloves if you're gonna use them for food prep...or leave the condoms for after work), a taste that doesn't just go away...then, when I was flossing, I extracted a big coarse black nose hair from between my teeth! It's not mine because I have fine blondish/brown hair.  I don't feel so good...

Ugggghhhhh!

Not enough time to make something nice tonight, so I just made Kraft Dinner, added 3 slices of havarti cheese. On the side, had 8 slices of bread with lots of butter and covered in sugar, ate them while I was cooking. Drinking a litre of fruit punch as well. I've never tracked my caloric intake before, but for this meal it was well over 2'300 calories.

Originally posted by chillwill ^ Holy crap, you ate 8 pieces of bread?!   Your whole meal was like 400 grams of carbs.  Thats more carbs than I eat in a week, lol.

Lol same here. I never eat 400g of carbs either. And I don't like bread that much :P

Haha guys, don't worry these meals aren't really abnormal for me. I don't put on anything that I eat because I have an unusually very, very high metabolic rate... most of the food energy I consume is converted to body heat. So as long as I keep eating throughout the day, I'm less susceptible to feeling cold. The downside is I never stay "full" for more than 30 minutes, no matter how much I eat at once. I don't artificially stimulate my metabolism by working out or anything, unfortunately it's just how I am-- got it from my mother who is also naturally slender. I should still be eating healthy, though... which, for that meal, I was not.

Originally posted by snowboardinrox357 I guess in some ways you're pretty lucky because you don't have to worry about staying fit and losing weight. If only I could eat as much as I want w/o gaining too many pounds :P

lol I know what you're saying but I wouldn't call it lucky since my food expenses are pretty high because of it, and I spend too much time throughout the day eating. For instance, can't really afford to eat out; I think the last time I ate fast food was McDonald's breakfast and that receipt was $20.18.

beef jerky is the best while snowboarding

salad explosion!  i was doing the final mixing of one of my supersalads and it got away from me, hah.. but i only lost about 30% of it to the floor.  coulda been worse..

yep, but they're not on

various types.  ranch has always been my favorite flavor but it's one of the unhealthiest dressings, so i try to find basic/organic/non-dairy options

I'm gonna make me some mexican lasagna tonight. Haven't tried it, but the idea came to mind yesterday and im cravin the shiz out of it now. Pics will come later!

When I lived in Brazil there really was no salad dressings. Salad there is usually served with a lil salt, lemon, and vinegar. Its actually very light and tasty.

I wonder if back in the day it was ever common to eat salads without dressing? I mean it would seem dressing has been around forever, but what if at one point that was normal to just eat it plain. But I'm sure that didn't last long!

I owe all my grattitude to hot sauce. I put hot sauce on evrything. Even on the salad I just ate.

I prefer to be able to taste my food rather than fire.

My gym schedule is pretty rugged, so I'm still droppin pounds despite eating like a typical fat american lol.and.. as promised, mexican lasagna! pardon my messy plating skillz lol.

That looks really good! Where can I get some Mexican lasagna?

The staple dressing. Oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice. Probably been around since the start of time

I had an idea in my head of what i wanted to do with it, then I used this site to make sure all the ideas were right in my head. watering down the salsa was about all i hadn't thought of, and it turned out perfectly. If you do a vegetarian version (i.e., omitting the meat and substituting beans or possibly TVP), cut the water to about 2/3, as the one i made for my gf wound up a bit soppy.

Originally posted by solocreep Cooked an egg with butter instead of oil. HUGE difference in taste.

Well duhhh! It's frickin delicious! and also part of the reason we Americans are so fat lol. Other options to try: sausage grease, bacon fat. Bacon fat's my personal favorite.. it will make the eggs look a bit darker than oil or butter, but mmmmmmmm, bacon! Made some sausage patties yesterday for breakfast (along with a purple potato hash) and cooked the eggs in the sausage grease. Surely unhealthy, but om-nommed the hell out of it lol

Originally posted by Lux Burned some of my dinner tonight because I was playing Gran Turismo while cooking...Fail. It was pan-fried seasoned sausage, green beans, onion, garlic, and steamed asparagus with rice on the side. I'll have to bite off the burned parts lol

I hate it when I try to cook something and accidently burn it while doing something else. Sometimes I go check my email while toasting bread and then I accidently burn it. One time, I was talking with my friends and I let the pizza burn black.

I like to cook bacon first, then cook the eggs in some of the drippings from the bacon. Best tasting eggs ever.

That is so true. Good tasting food usually is the unhealthiest.
I tried El Pollo Loco for lunch today :)

Lol. No matter what restaurant I go to, old or new, I my breakfast order rarely changes. Bacon and eggs!

Originally posted by Angry Midget Yo Originally posted by solocreep Lol. No matter what restaurant I go to, old or new, I my breakfast order rarely changes. Bacon and eggs! I'm the same way, if I find something I like then I just keep on ordering the same thing over and over rather than try something new and end up not liking it.

That always happens to me, too! If there's something that I really like, then I never order anything but it. It's a really bad habit but I hate it when I try something new and then it tastes bad and then I never want to try new things again.
