Met-Rx Pancakes Hello There

2011-12-27T00:28:00.005-05:00

It is late Monday night, yesterday was Christmas and I probably ate about 4 pounds of food. Guess you could say I am a bit sluggish today and want crawl in a hole and pretend it never happened (eating that much). One of my cousins reads this blog believe it or not, think she is probably the only one that does. Sarah, hello and thank you! The Met-Rx Pancakes are delicious. It was what I just had

The Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles Experience

2011-12-17T16:19:00.005-05:00

I was fortunate enough to be sent down to Los Angeles by the kind people that I work for and had one amazing time. The projects for the job were a bit challenging, but it is always good to give the old mind a new challenge. The thing that made this trip special was that my wife went with me and when I was not in front of the computer or in some meeting we were able to get out and explore. For

Double Cheeseburger Love

2011-12-04T14:04:00.004-05:00

Finally after a long week at work, guess it is because the end of the year is coming and there is so much to do that as a reward I ate a double cheeseburger with fries. It was such a fantastic experience that my mind is in the moment right now as writing this. The stress from the past couple of days really got to me. What better way to celebrate than to go out with friends? I am not a regular

Turkey Breast Burgers from Costco

2011-11-14T21:01:00.002-05:00

The truth is I am trying to eat healthier than before. It kind of sounds like a broken record, but for the past couple of week, well about two months now the gym has been visited on a regular basis and the sugar and fat intake has gone down drastically. Something hit me a while back that it is time because there are only so many more days to live, although it might be better to measure in years,

English Muffin Bacon and Egg with Hashbrown Fun

2011-10-27T22:05:00.003-04:00

It is very obvious that breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day. It is like this thing that after waking up the mind goes into this place where if focuses on how many hours there are, all the stuff that needs to be completed, and how much energy it is going to require. First things first, a big cup of coffee, always. It is the one thing that is near and dear to my heart and will never be

Enjoying Eggs and Just a Little Bacon

2011-09-30T20:37:00.002-04:00

My wife and I got the morning off work together and decided to go have breakfast after we went to the gym. We trained upper body for about forty five minutes and then we ate. It was a tough work out and we pushed our bodies beyond what they could handle. It will be interesting to see what tomorrow holds because of the soreness that will be present.I got scrambled eggs with cheese and green

The Gym Diet Starts up Now

2011-09-19T16:38:00.002-04:00

Most people decide to get skinny before summer, well not this bird. I don't really give any care in the world to what people think about my figure or how well built my body is. The reason for this gym diet is because health is on my mind. Being fat is not on my list of the things that were what was wanted during my childhood, but that is how it has ended up. Food just tastes so good and when

Grilled Chicken Breasts to Go for the Entire Week

2011-09-07T19:33:00.004-04:00

My wife and I decided on Sunday that we are going to eat healthy. What does this mean? The answer is lean proteins, low carbohydrates, and high fiber. This is just lovely isn't it? Not really so we brainstormed on a way to make it less painful and more enjoyable to do. First thing that came to mind was a way to get our meat source ready without a lot of fat and calories. We decided on grilled

My Tuna Sandwich Like no Other

2011-08-24T18:23:00.000-04:00

I made a fantastic Tuna sandwich today. Yesterday my wife made one, it tasted alright, but not made to my specifications. She used celery and she kept the water in it that was there from the can. You see, we like the canned kind because it is easy to prepare and high in protein. She put it on wheat bread, she purchased this homemade kind from the store in Bellevue, WA and it is dangerously

Gatorade Seattle Because it's Hot

2011-07-25T19:26:00.003-04:00

Yesterday it was hot in Seattle, WA. When I say that some might think that it means very humid, sticky, and warm and with a temperature over one hundred degrees. That is fine and all, but to be honest it was about eight five yesterday and that was enough to put me a heated mood. What is best to cool me off and bring me back to normal? A Gatorade of course. Yes, most are probably laughing at me

Homemade BBQ Sandwich for me

2011-07-17T00:39:00.000-04:00

Well, it looks like I have officially decided to become addicted to a new food. There is no way that I wanted to ever become addicted to this, but it happened. Many years ago I lived in the south and was able to snag up many servings of the best pork BBQ in the world. Since then it has been tough to come by, it just simply is not available here in the northwest. The food selection is very large

Patio Eating with Sunshine in Seattle

2011-06-07T19:26:00.003-04:00

Here is the deal; it rains a whole lot in Seattle, WA. Way more than what is normal for most people to handle. There is a plus to all the rain, well actually there are quite a few. The first is that the area is clean because of all the rainfall. It washes away the dust and keeps the trees and grass very green in color. The other reason that it is good is because it makes for a great work

Mr. Pancakes Sunday Night

2011-05-22T23:37:00.003-04:00

Well, I did it tonight, pancakes were made for dinner. They are usually enjoyed in the morning as a breakfast dish and have something that goes along side such as scrambled eggs and bacon. No sides went along with the meal tonight and it was just a big old pancake evening. My wife and I had a very busy weekend. The weather here in Seattle finally made a turn for the better and we were able to get

Thai Ginger Redmond Town Center

2011-04-29T17:54:00.002-04:00

Easter is over and all finished. It was a fun holiday with family and friends. I ended up eating way too much and have had a bigger belly than I would want to have, but oh well. My wife has a mother that just loves to cook the most amazing meals on days like this. I also ended up eating quite a few chocolate bunnies and about a dozen of those little yellow peeps. They are so good and I have loved

Slimming Down for Summer

2011-03-30T19:49:00.002-04:00

It's been a long winter and it seems that just like bears I have grown an extra layer of skin but it actually a result of my rich eating habits this winter, food that was absolutely phenomenal but also very high in calories and now you can definitely tell. Time for a cleanse the wife says, and this means staying at home a lot eating tons of grilled items, vegetables, salads and of course much

Tully's Bellevue Square Mall

2011-02-16T00:46:00.004-05:00

On Sunday afternoon my wife and I were getting cabin fever in the house. We were enjoying ourselves there for a while watching movies and munching on popcorn and then we decided we needed to get out of the house for a while. We discussed our options and found out that we were very hungry so we decided to first head down to Tapatio Newcastle for lunch because we both absolutely love delicious

Five Guys Burgers Renton WA

2011-02-11T00:14:00.007-05:00

I can go on and on about how I am supposed to be cutting back on the amount of meat that I eat. I have cut down on the consistency, the daily, or every other day consumption. Now I eat it about once or twice per week. When I do enjoy it, I do my best to eat the best possible. This last session I went with my wife to Five Guys Burgers Renton WA. Check out the picture and look at the beauty of this

Pancakes in Seattle (well, actually Mercer Island)

2011-02-03T13:49:00.002-05:00

Literally, just seconds ago I finished my last pancake of the morning. I ate three in total and they were so amazingly delicious. My wife found this new batter that tastes like something that I have never had before. I love IHOP, really love it, their breakfast is so good, my favorite is the harvest nut n grain combo and is located in Bellevue, WA. My wife's breakfast creation today can go

Chicken Wings for Lunch after the Park

2011-01-26T20:31:00.005-05:00

Well, my wife and I decided to stop for chicken wings during lunch time yesterday. They were tasty, something about the skin and the sauce combined with the meat works. We went to a place that we have never gone before and were very happy that we did. Before we went, we did do some exercise.Winter is in full effect here, it is not as bad as it could be, but it is still very cold. My wife

Veggie burger?

2011-01-21T18:05:00.005-05:00

The wife has been wanting me to eat less and less meat these days, she says that it is not good to eat it all that often. This must be coming from something that she is reading, or hearing from one of her family members or friends. Either way, she is on a mission to help me eat less meat.What does she do about it? She purchased a dozen veggie burgers in Newcastle, WA and brings them home. She

I Need my Blue Bunny Cookies n Cream Ice Cream Bar, Period!

2010-12-20T22:58:00.006-05:00

I think that I just switched over to be a ten year old again and I don't care. I need a ice cream bar and I need it right after I finish typing this. I want to take a few minutes here and think about it because it will make it that much better when I finally get my paws on that yummy, delicious ice cream bar. I only like the Blue Bunny Cookies n Cream Ice Cream Bar that has a thick and

Vegetarian Omelet with the Wife

2010-12-16T18:10:00.003-05:00

Today was a strange day, well, i mean this morning. My wife and I decided to go out to breakfast and share the morning meal together. We don't get to spend all that much time together, as much as I would like, so any chance I get to go with her somewhere together I do. The restaurant that we visited was nice. It was clean, well organized, and had a good feel to it. I ordered my coffee,

El Tapatio Newcastle Menu Dish Pollo al Carbon

2010-12-09T20:30:00.005-05:00

Anyone can make any type of dish with meat, game, chicken, seafood, and even vegetables. The thing is it can be perfectly cooked and seasoned but sometime there is a need for a great sauce to compliment that wonderful dish.And that is what this dish is all about. I have looked for it in many other restaurants all over but this Mexican Restaurant El Tapatio in Newcastle is the only one that seems

Flavored Water for More Intake Because of Health and the Wife

2010-12-07T20:27:00.003-05:00

My wife wants me to take in more water each day. She says that it is good for me. So, I decided to go ahead and work to get more water in. I really don't want to because it is not something up there on my list of things that I wish to accomplish in my day, or even my life, but it will be good for me. Today, I went and bought a few limes, lemons, and a few bottles of green tea. Today I cut up

Soup and my Happy Tummy

2010-12-06T21:47:00.002-05:00

It really is special, you know, soup this time of year. The weather changes to colder temperatures and snow, and then the soup starts to be served up. Today I had minestrone soup and I must say that it was especially delicious. I can't eat it alone, so I made up a cheese sandwich to go along with it. Yummy, that is the one word that I use to describe it.It took about ten minutes to make it

Chips Ahoy You Made My Afternoon!

2010-12-01T19:00:00.003-05:00

I started dragging my feet today at about four in the afternoon and needed something to get me going again. So what did I do? I went ahead and bought a small package of Chips Ahoy and made a hot cup of coffee and took so "me" time. For fifteen minutes I sat there and took my time while I ate my cookies.Did it work? Did it get me into a great frame of mind? Yes. I took each cookie out slowly

Rice, Beans, and Cheese. Simple Yet Delicious

2010-11-29T02:07:00.003-05:00

Growing up my mom used to make the family this dinner that we all loved about one time per month. It was so simple, yet so delicious. She made organic kidney beans, brown rice, and then put American cheese on it. To top it off she would put onions and then soy sauce. It was so wonderful, I loved it, and my whole family loved it.Today I made it. Not exactly the same way as my mom, but kind of

Porterhouse Grilled Steak is Something Special

2010-11-24T19:05:00.002-05:00

Tonight, the night before Thanksgiving 2010 I am grilling a steak. A big fat juicy steak on the grill. It is a 20 ounce porterhouse and boy is it filled with fat and meat. During lunch I made a visit to the grocery store and as I walked past the meat section this package caught my eye and made me visit it. I walked over and bent down and saw this beautiful red meat package that was out of

Fresh Juice Shakes Blended to Perfection

2010-11-23T19:52:00.003-05:00

I want to eat healthier because basically I am fat and need it. I take vitamins and such, but really want to get in some good healthy food in. I do not plan on giving up my junk food, but plan on including more healthy food, and this is where the fresh juice comes into play.I use the blender to make these shakes. Yesterday I purchased apples, bananas, and cucumbers. I got the blender out and

Fried Red Snapper With Head On?

2010-11-11T18:30:00.003-05:00

My wife and I decided to go out to lunch today and we ordered the fried fish. It was a nice restaurant that is quite popular and seats about fifty people or so. Lunch is their specialty and they were packed and super busy. We had to wait about ten minutes for a table, but that was not too bad, it was just enough time to make us more hungry than we already were. Once we sat down we looked over

Coffee On Sunday Afternoon

2010-10-31T19:24:00.003-04:00

My wife and I decided to go out last night because we wanted to see all the people dressed up for Halloween. It was fun, a little too much fun. We ended up staying out way past my bedtime. We started out in downtown Seattle in Pioneer Square and never left. It was such a great time to see how all the people love to celebrate this holiday. We did not get dressed up and we kind of got looked

Tired Day and Need Energy

2010-10-12T19:24:00.002-04:00

Some days are just tired days. You wake up and you are tired. It is in the best interest to go ahead and reach for a cup of coffee and do all you can to make it better, meaning increasing the energy levels and waking up. It sometimes work, and sometimes does not work. Today is a day where I just can't seem to wake up fully no matter what I do. I tried coffee, then I tried a long hot shower,

My Own Mexican Food Creation

2010-10-08T13:27:00.004-04:00

Last night I was all alone because my wife is out of town on a business trip. It happens, and although some people think that the man of the household should be the one that does all the money making and such, that is not how it is these days. Women are smarter then us men, in my own opinion. We might have differences and stuff, but I think we are a bit lower than them as far as being who is

Big Belly Happy Guy after Eating Full Pizza Solo

2010-09-30T19:00:00.003-04:00

Just want to post today about how big my belly is getting. I am not pregnant because I am a guy, but boy do I look like it. Last night I ended up eating a whole pizza by myself. Can you believe that? I just got so hungry at about 10:00 p.m and I picked up the phone and made an order to go. Pizza really is a gift from the heavens. I got a meat lovers special. The one where you can hardly

Popcorn Sucks and is not the Same as Chips

2010-09-27T19:21:00.003-04:00

There are things in life that are just not the same. Some people try their best to make things kind of the same, but they are not. The two things that will never be the same is popcorn and potato chips. You see, one is good while the other one is not. You might first think that the popcorn could be something enjoyable, and it kind of is, but never will it be as good and delicious as potato

Melted Parmesan Cheese on Spaghetti

2010-09-24T19:42:00.005-04:00

Well, I did something today that I was quite proud of. I made my own spaghetti, it is not like it is all that hard, but I made it in a way that I have never made it before. I purchased angel hair pasta and they are the really thin and skinny noodles that are tasty and delicious. I bought tomato sauce and tomatoes, as well as tomato paste. I made my own sauce with oregano, peppers, garlic, and

Shrimp and Cheese Empanadas

2010-09-20T20:52:00.003-04:00

With each day there comes new experiences, and this new experience has to do with shrimp and cheese mixed together inside a empanada. This is something that is fabulous and is so tasty and delicious that I get excited typing about it and sharing it with the world. There are restaurants sometimes so close to usthat we are not even aware that they are so close. My wife found this restaurant that

Spicy Tacos Make Me Super Human

2010-09-17T20:36:00.003-04:00

Yesterday I ate tacos that had some very hot and spicy onions on it. Well, it was not really the onions, it was the habanero chili that were in the pickled onion mix. It was a tricky thing, you see, I got the tortilla and held it in my one hand and then placed the steak into the middle of it and then put some salsa inside and then the onions. I started to eat it and it was so tasty. I really

Grill Out With Shrimp

2010-09-13T20:31:00.002-04:00

Shrimp are tough to cook but boy are they so tasty. My wife and I went to Costco yesterday and actually bought shrimp there. It does not seem like the best place in the world to buy them but they are so fresh and good. We purchased the big kind, the really big kind that are almost as big as lobsters, not really, but almost. The shrimp can dry out real fast when you cook them on the grill so

Weekend Food Party With My Wife

2010-09-10T21:09:00.002-04:00

This weekend my wife and I are planning a Saturday afternoon to go into town and just eat away all that we can. It is Friday night right now and to be honest I am super excited about it. It is going to be so fun that it might even be hard for me to sleep. The weather is looking a bit on the rocky side, not sure if it is going to rain or not, but we should be alright. I first want to eat

Peanut Butter and Jelly I Need A Break, Sorry

2010-09-09T22:15:00.003-04:00

I am no longer going to eat peanut butter and jelly for a while, you see I have had enough. It has been a favorite of mine for years and years and now I just need to take a break. My mother made me these type of sandwiches for years. All through elementary school it was a staple for my lunch and then in high school it was what I had when I would first get home to hold me over until dinner time.

Big Meat Burrito Rocks My World

2010-09-08T22:28:00.003-04:00

Today I decided to go the local shop for lunch and get me something that I just love more than anything in this world, meat. It is not a hamburger, although I love those, it was a big tasty burrito. It had so much meat in it that I didn't know exactly how to handle it. I first looked at it and thought "holy cow, what is this?" and then I was very happy about it. I realized that the lady that

Why I Love Hummus

2010-09-03T20:25:00.002-04:00

I just love hummus. Since everyone around me has been all up on me to get in better shape I now have to look for other options that are still in the range of tasting some what decent. Luckily there is hummus which tastes good, on my taste buds.Hummus is made out of chickpeas and tahini and although you would never catch me eating tahini or those peas alone by themselves you will for sure catch

Comfort Foods With Fried Chicken and Mac and Cheese

2010-07-19T15:07:00.003-04:00

Just this last Saturday I felt stressed. The economy is starting to do better but still not what it was. Work has been very stressful and I have been putting in mad hours. I like work and I like some stress, but this is a bit over what I can handle. I know it is my own fault and I need to work on my own ability to cope with the stress. I do have one strategy that I use and I did it big time

Carl's Junior Chicken Strips Enjoyed on My Bed

2010-07-06T20:20:00.000-04:00

Yesterday evening I made it into a Carl's Junior for a fun filled time, well not actually. I went in there to order out because I wanted to go home and watch television on my bed while eating my beloved fast food. It smelled good when I entered, like a fresh hamburger and french fries. It made me at first want to order one of those 6 dollar burgers, the pictures are so big and the presentation is

Morning Coffee Fun

2010-07-05T21:02:00.003-04:00

I get up every day and have a cup of coffee. Just as the sun rises each day I get up and drink a cup of coffee. I drink it on the way to work. It is fun for me, you know, one of those things that makes life fun. It isn't a complicated cup of joe, quite simple. It is brewed with a decent machine and then I put a bit of cream in it and 2 small teaspoons of sugar. I also put whip cream on top,

The Hech With Tofu

2010-07-02T17:00:00.001-04:00

So I decided to try tofu again, this time it was fried and made into a burger. Forget it. I will never eat it again and I don't ever want to smell it again either. It is just gross and I don't like it. I figured it might end up being ok with some ketchup on a hamburger bun and fried like a hamburger, but it just does not work. There are things that will just never work. You can't take carrots and

Why Health Food is for the Birds

2010-06-29T21:39:00.002-04:00

The other day my mom brought me over a bag of this health food that she bought at the local health food store. You know, the kind where you bring in your own organic bag and weigh everything by the pound in plastic bags. The kind where there are these big barrels filled with organic rice and organic beans. To be honest, I like the idea but hate it overall. I know my mom is concerned about me

Oatmeal All Day, All the Time

2010-06-25T19:57:00.002-04:00

Getting over that stomach flu was tough and now I am only going to eat oatmeal for a while. It is a decision that came after much thought and since I really want to avoid pain and gain pleasure, I am eating oatmeal. Not the boring kind, but rather the fruit flavor kind. It tastes real good, and when your stomach is recovering from a bad episode of no good pain and suffering oatmeal is a savor.

Stupid Stomach Flu

2010-06-23T17:29:00.003-04:00

Wow, just when the summer was starting to get fun I get knocked down with a stomach flu. I have been yacking and spending hours in the restroom. No fun I tell you. The last time this has happened was when I was about thirteen and my mom had to sit next to me the whole time because I was in so much pain. This is death. I was on the ground for like three hours just wondering when in the world

What's In Your Father's Day Menu?

2010-06-16T23:02:00.002-04:00

So father's day is this June 20th, and what do dads do when it's the day to celebrate them, well only a couple of things. Usually eat alot of their favorite food, golf or watch their favorite sport on TV. This year they are in luck because there the world cup going on in South Africa. So it can be a soccer sunday, but what can you feed them?A barbecue is a great option to really bedazzle dad, and

Fried Rice Delivered to My Door

2010-06-09T23:53:00.003-04:00

You just have to love that you can pick up the phone and in a few minutes some hot fried rice will be in your hands. I love it and my stomach is so full right now. I literally took a shovel and inhaled it. I am a bit bloated right now, actually a lot bloated. I can stand up and push my belly out so far. It looks like I am pregnant. I am, and my baby is fried rice.I ordered it with shrimp

Prostate Cancer and my Body Mass Index

2010-06-02T21:03:00.002-04:00

My mom called me today and said that she just watched a report on how if someone has a larger BMI number that they will have a bigger prostate tumor. I am in my 30s and not really sure why she is telling me this, but so be it. After asking her what in the world is going on and why she is telling me this, she said that sooner or later my prostate will give me problems. I thought, great mom,

Comfortable Restaurant Chairs

2010-05-27T15:11:00.005-04:00

We went out to eat at Chili's last night and I have to admit that the appetizers were great. We got the hot spinach and artichoke dip and the wings over buffalo. It was fun ordering and waiting for the server to arrive. The wait was not bad, but my stomach was just so hungry that it seemed a lot longer than normal. The chairs are comfortable there and after eating the two thousand calorie

Steak is Meat and it is Good

2010-05-25T16:19:00.003-04:00

I have a hard time with the people out in the world that just don't like steak. How in the almighty good name of grace could someone not eat it? I eat it grilled and pan fried, the grill is good on certain occasions however the pan fried is what I love the most. This can be eaten alone by itself but to be honest there has to be potatoes on the side. I like the mashed potatoes topped with

Fried Fish and Chips Saturated Fat and Health

2010-05-22T22:15:00.000-04:00

Just went to Jack in the Box and ordered the fish and chips off of the drive thru menu. It has been a staple fast food meal for me for over ten years now. It is a tasty food combination but has been concerning me because of the saturated fat content. It is high, very high, and I know it is, but I still eat it. Many people still eat things like this even though they know

Stomach Talking Back?

2010-05-19T18:55:00.002-04:00

At about four this afternoon my stomach started to make noise. It was not the best sight in the world. My buddy at work looked over at me and started pointing his finger and laughing at me. It was not like some wimpy type of noises coming from my stomach, but loud roars, similar to the sound the lions make on national geographic. It is stupid how this happens because I was really hungry and

My Ramen Noodles Confession

2010-05-17T18:14:00.000-04:00

Alright, I have to admit something and come out of the closet with it, I eat Ramen Noodles. Yes, this is something that I don’t admit that much and do not really like about myself. Why do I eat them? It boils down to one thing and one thing only, they taste good. The seasoning is like something out of this world. I usually don’t eat them that often, but lately it has been a weekly thing. I will

Bacon and a Sauce Makes Hollandaise

2010-05-12T23:25:00.006-04:00

Before writing this article I did a quick survey here at my work and it was simply to answer which was their favorite egg dish, not for this week or last month but favorite egg dish ever. The results were not stunning to me I just wanted to prove it and made sure that my favorite egg dish was everyone’s favorite egg dish and the winner is: Eggs Benedict. I thought it would be scrambled or

Brunch For My Favorite Mother

2010-05-08T21:47:00.000-04:00

Today is Mother’s Day eve and there is nothing else that I enjoy more than taking my mom to a really nice Mother’s day brunch, she love’s it. But I don’t think as much as myself. There is simply nothing better for a food lover like myself to stare at all kinds of my favorite foods all in the same room at the same time. I hope you got your reservations just in time to your

Standing all day in the kitchen is one thing, but when you have to hustle and do a whole lot more than just standing you are going to have to take some pre cautions when it comes to your posture and how you lift things. For the person that makes one or two meals a day, this is not for you. This is for the people with the true passion and spend hours upon hours in the kitchen.There are many

Someone Wants a Fried Egg

2010-05-06T22:06:00.002-04:00

It is after nine in the evening and I want a fried egg. This is a breakfast food, but who cares write now. I am going to get the butter out of the refrigerator and turn on the pan on top of the stove and then put a nice chunk of butter in. It will not sit in there too long because if it does it will end up burning a bit and ruin the taste.It is a delicate thing, cooking an egg like this. I

Bannana Time

2010-05-04T16:56:00.002-04:00

For a snack today I ate a bannana. I like them, they taste good, but here is the real reason. I don't like crunchy things. Why? They bug me when other people crunch on them. The worst for me is chips. My wife can sit there and pound a bag of chips like they are going out of style and it wants me to crawl up the wall and hide underneath the ceiling. This is a healthy snack and after it I

Salad and Gatorade

2010-04-30T16:46:00.002-04:00

One of those bad days, they happen. It is like I woke up on the left side of the bed rather than the right. Hope you get that, the left side of the bed rather than the right side of the bed, pretty stupid, but oh well. These bad days happen, but it is amplified today because it has not happened in such a long time. Well, since the day has not been the best day of my life I figure I should

Lentil Beans for Dinner Tonight

2010-04-28T21:02:00.002-04:00

Having some lentil beans now, well not now, a few minutes ago. It was not exactly just beans, it was like a soup kind of thing. My wife made them, so I am not sure even how in the world she made it, but they were good. They have a lot of dietary fiber in them so that is a good thing. I put a few ritz crackers in there to make it taste the way I like it. I hate to crunch up the crackers to

A Trip to the Fast Food Place Just Every Once in a While

2010-04-27T21:28:00.003-04:00

Today was a busy day. At work I had to finish up many projects for the bosses. They needed me to finish up contacting all the current database of our insurance customers about the changes that were just made to our software. After talking to about thirty people I was a bit stressed, sometimes talking to that many people is just too much, so I committed a sin today. I went to the King, Burger

Eggs and Bacon on Sunday While Doing Nothing

2010-04-25T16:10:00.004-04:00

Today is Sunday, a day where you do nothing. A day where you get up whenever you want and do whatever you want. Today I woke up at 11 am and took a nice hot shower, then went down to the kitchen and my wife had breakfast ready. Eggs and bacon, along with toast and coffee. Oh my, what a day this is turning out to be. I sat down with her, we turned on the television and some chick flick was on

Meat and Potatoes

2010-04-20T00:14:00.003-04:00

Sometimes what it comes down to in order to truly enjoy a meal is to go with the basics. The basics are whatever food you basically grew up on. For me, meat and potatoes do it. Put a baked potato, mashed potatoes, or any type of potatoes next to a steak, any piece of chicken, or fish, right in front of me and you will have one happy person. Yes, all the other food is amazing, sushi, chinese

Stuck With Eating Fruit Because The Wife Is Out of Town

2010-01-19T19:34:00.002-05:00

No restaurants the past couple of days because my wife is out of town and it is kind of stupid to roll into a restaurant all by yourself. I could go with one of my guy friends, but that is not my style. So, it is making the most of it with what I have in the house to make.This morning I saw the fruit bowl that had apples, oranges, and bananas. This struck a light bulb to pop up above my head

Your family is out of town and you are sitting on the couch watching some action movie and you are hungry, what to do?You can go into the kitchen and pull out one of those cardboard cups filled with cardboard noodles and some tasty seasonings, or you can make some spaghetti. The second is a much better choice because it is fresher and

New Year Changes Last For Just a Few Weeks

2010-01-08T19:30:00.002-05:00

Well, we made it to the year 2010. It was a fun time on the new year evening. We went to a restaurant with a view that overlooked the city, me and my wife and a few friends. There was a five course menu, and I must admit that it was very good. It could have been the margaritas that made it taste so good, but who cares, it was tasty. Anyway, we finished the night off watching fireworks and

Chef Ramsay Is Entertaining To Watch

2010-01-04T12:23:00.003-05:00

Getting the BBC on the television is great because there are many shows that have Chef Ramsay in them. There is the Hell's Kitchen show, which is too old to watch, have watched each episode too many times already. Then there is the Kitchen Nightmares, which is great. And now there is the show called The F Word.I am yet to catch all of the episodes of the Kitchen Nightmares so I do my best to

Japanese Steak House, Entertaining or Dangerous?

2009-12-21T16:03:00.002-05:00

Strangest thing, we had a Christmas party for work over the weekend, and we went to a Japanese steak house. There was about a ten minute wait, which was not big deal because they actually had pacman video games in the lobby? How cool is that. There were eight of us and when our section was ready, they called us right over and we sat there. A guy came to the table with a big white hat on and

An Extra Spike for A Great Cup of Joe

Everyone loves coffee. This is such truth in our days that coffee has evolved into millions kinds of coffee. There is Italian Coffee, Colombian Coffee, Mexican Coffee and Now Even Some is being exported from places as far as Africa. Add whatever you like to it regular milk, soy milk, or if it is up to me simply brewed coffee is the way to go. The simpler it is the better it tastes and the more

Happy Cooks Rule The World

2009-12-14T19:13:00.002-05:00

When it comes down to it, the happiest cooks rule the world. Why? Because they love what they do. They put the love into their food that can not be duplicated by anyone else. It is a one time creation.Being around a grumpy cook is like being around your mom when she is in the worst mood ever, it just is not good. It just makes no sense in the world for someone to be cooking that does not

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

2009-12-13T10:14:00.002-05:00

Ok, yesterday in the afternoon my friends and I decided to grab a drink and watch college football. It is what you are supposed to do on a Saturday afternoon. There were a lot of people there but we were still able to get a nice table with a perfect view of the big screen television. The waitress came over right when we sat down and took our drink orders, it was a mac and jack on tap for me,

Fast Food, AreThere Any Good Qualities?

2009-12-09T15:18:00.003-05:00

This is a tough subject to talk about, you know, the fast food subject. Here are these restaurants plastered all over and the food they make tastes so good. Would there be that many unless it tasted good and was easy for people to access?There are many people against these fast food restaurants, but why? The public just loves them, so if the public loves them then let the rock on. They are

The best thing for that is some peanut butter. It really can give you some decent amounts of energy too.In just a minute there is a complete meal.

Well, as a celebration we went to the sushi restaurant in the city yesterday. All six of us went and because it was a celebration something very exciting had to take place, and that was the sushi with a quail egg. Derrick had to order it for everyone because he just loves to make it a bit uncomfortable for people, that is what he does. Anyway, at first it looks very wrong. The thought of a

Crunchy Green Vegetables Over The Boiled Ones

2009-11-04T22:53:00.002-05:00

OK, let's remember to the time that you first had the taste of a vegetable. Can you remember that? If you were like me in any way you had carrots. The carrot was so easy for us to eat. They did not taste that good then, but know they are a whole lot better tasting.Anyway, now let's talk about boiled vegetables versus the raw crunchy kind.Which way is better for you? Well, the raw crunchy
