Warning: Cantaloupe Smells Bad After A Day

As I mentioned before I have begun to eat fruit. I started with a cantaloupe which I cut into two halves and macked down on. I left one half sitting on the counter kind of behind my box of Crispix so it was out of view. Sweet Jesus - the smell that little rind put off was enough to put you off your meal. Remember, when eating melons to get that rind outside in the trash as soon as possible. Seriously, the smell was just nasty.

Fish Oil Tablets....I have heard things...Have You?

Las Vegas Makes Mammoth Sized Cake!

FORT PAYNE, Alabama (AP) -- Move over, Fort Payne. It looks like Las Vegas has taken the cake.

After 15 years of being known as the city that created the world's largest birthday cake, this Alabama town may have to forfeit the title.

Las Vegas created its own giant cake last weekend in celebration of the city's 100th birthday. The cake, assembled by 600 volunteers, weighed 130,000 pounds and measured 102 feet long, 52 feet wide and 20 inches high.

Organizers said they expected Guinness Book of Records officials to confirm the Sin City confection as the world's largest within weeks.

Fort Payne has held the title since 1989, when it created a 128,238-pound cake in the shape of Alabama to commemorate the city's 100th birthday.

Fruit is Good - Bacon is Better

I am just coming off a huge egg, cheese and bacon sandwich and im stuffed up pretty good for now. That fruit is not very filling. I will continue to eat some fruit everyday, however it will simply be a side activity from my real meals.

Cantaloupe is Fruit

Today I am eating fruit to help lower my cholesterol

Sweet Tomatoes Buffet

Holy Moses, it was 95 here today so I decided to hit the Sweet Tomatoes Buffet. It is mostly salads and soups. They do have cookies and ice cream too. I brought 2 newspapers and settled in for a 2 hour mack-off. Seated across from me was another big guy, we came in about the same time. I looked over at him, we locked eyes, and nuff said, it was on. The battle royale. He gave after about 90 minutes and gave me a nod on his way out. For those not of the largess, this buffet competition is quite common. Its an unspoken battle, I have won my share but lost a few. Dont go up against a Samoan, those guys can bring it. I lost a buffet battle at a chinese buffet place against one. I have much respect for his abilities.

Cholesterol

I visited the doctor over my hiatus from the blog and got my blood test results back. Not too bad, but my overall cholesterol level is slightly high. Doc suggested eating fruit, whole grains and oatmeal. Jesus Christ - this is going to be abig change for me and I need your support. Tonight I macked on a Teriyaki Chicken Bowl and a big-ass salad.

My Stomach Hurts

I have been down since Sunday with an annoying stomach ache. I dont know why. I have been eating well. I should be back in action tomorrow, as it is 'Sale' day at the markets.

Safeway: Clean Your Filthy Carts

I ventured down to Safeway for a few extra things for tonight. Cheese Bagels, BBQ Chicken Thin Deli Slices, Diet Cokes, Salad Bar, Cheetos, and a cake. However, there was an incident. First one must know that they have the bottle and can return machines inside at the back of the store. So what happens is people get a plastic shopping cart then take it to their car and unload all of there filthy beverage containers into them. You can see the moldy old soda dripping off and down the cart. Plus these are a majority of beer containers. God only knows what happened where that beer can was before. Think about it. The end result is us food shoppers reach for a cart and its all nasty like a dumpster. Not just one, but every one I look over. I found the general manager and let him know that this was just filthy, he apologized and said a crew was coming tonight to clean them. While I wanted to explain the simple reason they get so nasty, I just let Mr. Safeway Man go along his way. Apparently, for that time he had come out of the office and was filling in as a bagperson. Whatever, the carts are still unusable. It's not easy carrying all my stuff in those little Goldilocks baskets. Something has to givbe here. I may call the Corporate Office.

Report From Argentina

Our Argentinian food consultant Franchi has allready reported in with some info regarding bbq's in his country. "Asado is the Argentinean barbeque. It is a gathering of friends, usually is held at late afternoon or evening, either at the courtyard of a home, or at the countryside". Included is another great 'Asado' photo:

Argentina Style

I have a friend who lives in Argentine, Franchi is his name. I am negotiating with him to do a weekly food report from Argentina with info on all the kickin meals they prepare there. More info to follow. Below is a picture he showed me that he knew I would think is fantastic.

Five Bagger Wednesday

Starting today to help document my food consumption and purchases I will be posting "The Grocery Bag Pic" for every bag I purchase of foodstuffs. Yesterday was sale day - thus I racked up 5 bags via 2 markets.

Pollo Asado - The Song

I must pay tribute to a great eating song by Ween called: Pollo Asado

LYRICS:

Yes, I do make guacamole. Uh, I would like a side of guacamole on my Tostitos I like to dip the Tostitos in the guacamole Can I get a basket, I told you about a basket of chipsI would like a large iced-tea, 2, uh, 2 large iced-teas

Wednesday Is For Shopping

I do not know how they do it where you all is from, but here on Tuesdays all the supermarkets run their ads in the daily paper. However, the sales do not start until today. It used to get me confused and riled up when I would go on Tuesday night and remember that the ads did not begin until the next day. Now I have it down straight. I have a plan of moves involving 2 local stores and a large quantity of foodstuffs. I will be sharing these items here the next couple of days as I bunker down for a couple good solid days of eating.

Rain, Eating & Powernapping

Today it rained all day long, so I ate all day long. Didnt feel like going to the store so I rummaged around the kitchen and found all kinds of stuff to mack. I also Powernapped today heavily - I inagine I have been awake about 6 hours of the day. More to come....

Teriyaki Bowls

My sister called, found out I was sick and brought me two large teriyaki chicken and rice bowls. I have eaten them and will now Powernap. 7 pounds of chicken and rice in my belly - oh yeah!

Feed A Cold

Thats how the saying goes so I have polished of this box of Crispix cereal which is real damn good. Im going to make me a beef and swiss bagel sandwich now - I recommend these easy to make and tasty if you get a good bagel. The bagel makes it or breaks it. I am microwaving popcorn ahead of time so that the butter congeals for extra flavor later. After these foodstuffs are gone, I will enter a Powernap and emerge early evening. Best to hit the markets after 6 pm when the traffic is down.

Monday Morning

Well, I have come down with a cold and/or allergy symptoms last night and still have them today. I am quaffing Orange Juice currently. I have a new box of Crispix, which I am going to eat then go back down to sleep. I will return after I feel somewhat better. Remember to eat hearty and live large.
