What are you Eating/Drinking?

[Chrunch Houston]

I cooked this in a skillet with a can of chicken. I added some hot oil from my local Chinese place and some soy sauce. It was good, 405 Calories, I just wish the rice wasn't so sweet.

Growing up in Louisville Ky, I thought all tamales came out of a can. I didn't have a real tamale until I moved to Texas.

I had never had these Hot'n Spicey tamales, so I thought I would give them a try. Not bad for a canned tamale and only 340 calories for the whole can. Now I'm just waiting for the heart burn.

I loved those when I was younger. Can't eat them now, too much salt. But, I LOVE tamales, next to burritos. XLNT brand is the best store bough tamales I've ever had. Don't know if you have them out there. Well worth it!

It's a great midnight snack, especially with toast, and maybe some chopped green onion on the side. A slice of lime helps, too. We got all kind of canned fish here in snack-sized cans - tuna, salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines, conga eel . . . you name it. There are Chinese Superstores in the area that have entire aisles of shelving stocked with these canned . . um . . *koff . . . midnight goodies.
Not to mention it's high-protein brain food.

I love mine on herb crackers with a slice of monterey jack cheese and some Mad Anthony's. 👍

No food since that grilled cheese. Going to get something now, though. Coming here always makes me hungrig!

@Solid Lifters. There are some very good tamales for sale here in Houston. Refrigerated and frozen. But I grew up on these canned things.

The best tamales I ever tasted where from my ex-room mates 80 year old grandmother.

Just a question to you 'Muricans.
I saw in @Chrunch Houston above post, the rice and chicken, which where both pre packaged. But in Australia we would cook a lot of rice in a batch and freeze it for later and use that for the rice, and add some vegetables or sauces if we wanted. And For the chicken we would use a roast (from the supermarket) or grilled breast (cooked at our place) Is this just a thing in America, or is Australia that far behind in the world.

But on topic in the last two hours I have had lots (I played a game of AFL and boundary umpired two) and hadn't had anything since breakfast, which was at 8.30 and I got home at 5.30 so I ate.
Food: 1 green apple, 3 milk arrowroot biscuits, 2 toasted sandwiches and 1 small bowl of greek yoghurt.
Drink: 1 glass of milk, 1 glass of milk, 1 glass of water cordial and 1 bottle of water.

I'm still rather hungry, but thats what 4 hours of running does to you.

Lasagne!

It was my mom and dad's 54th anniversary and my dad wanted a steak so I took them to a place that specializes in rotisserie chicken. He had a pork chop, I had a burger. Both were fantastic.

@Turbo_snail, I don't think that was an American thing. I buy that chicken by the case to eat with ramen noodles. That's not real American either.

I bought that fried rice because it I am losing weight and it was low in calories. But when I picked it up to put it in the microwave it just felt a little light. The chicken was there, so...

Many Americans eat solely out of prepackaged boxes and cans when they aren't visiting restaurants.


Today we ate at a waterside restaurant and I got to add a new animal to the list of things I've eaten.

Key West Conch Chowder

Today was a cheat day. (you gotta have'em when dieting)

Whataburger patty melt and medium fries. 1460 Calories, but that sauce with the grilled onions is AWESOME!!!

Last week was a crawfish boil, and the week before that was Wendy's.

Wendy's was my first job and is my favorite fast food restaurant, if it is done right. The problem is that it is so inconsistent, especially at 3:30 in the afternoon.

Two weeks ago I ordered a double cheeseburger with everything no ketchup, and a medium fry. The fries were like leather, and the burger patties were chili meat.*

It was very disappointing, especially since I spent the whole week eating baked fish and steamed vegetables.

Whataburger is not as good as good Wendy's, but they are very consistent. No matter what time of day all of their food is ok.

*Wendy's always keeps meat on the grill. So when you order they make the sandwich fresh. It is never pre made and under a heat lamp (McDonalds), or microwaved (Burger King), but always hot off the grill.

When the meat becomes overdone, it is set aside. It is later boiled and chopped up and used for their chili.

Dinner was a leftover homemade burrito and had no brunch. Calories for the day = 860

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Whew I stuffed myself like crazy over the weekend. Saturday my brother and his gf took me out to Buffalo Wild Wings. I had 20 boneless chicken wings and a Guinness! Stuffed. Then yesterday my mother in law took me out to our local all you can eat Asian buffet. Stuffed again. Great bday weekend with lots of yummy food.

 

[Solid Lifters]

No brunch but I did snack on some hot 'n spicy pork rinds, and stole three cookies from the Booger Twins stash. Total calorie = 200

Dinner was the last of the homemade burritos. Calories = a lot. About 1,000 or so. Maybe more, but I like 1,200 calories for the day and it's close enough. Tomorrow, salad. Back to the spinach green stuff that I got a little sick of.

Refried beans, cheddar cheese, sour cream, Mexican carnitas and Mad Anthony's Hot Sauce.

That closeup killed me. You know how to make me hungry when I'm not even hungry. I would make something like that tomorrow but I don't think my tortillas are big enough.

I use 12" Guerrero Burrito Flour Tortillas. The best for making homemade burritos, IMO. I don't like the smaller sizes unless I'm making enchilladas or small burritos.

Drinking some good old water!

Tomorrow, spaghetti!

 

[TB]

Ding dong! Jimmy Johns!

Had a lunch-and-learn today and the presenter bought too many so a few followed me home for supper.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Diet on hold for today. Last of the leftover ribs and a beer.

Hangar 24 Orange Wheat

 

[kikie]

Just finished my spaghetti. Sauce was too spicy. My tongue is still burning.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Back on diet. Clearing out the fridge. Brunch was a spinach salad mix with pickled jalapenos, a peanut butter sandwich, a few bacon Ritz with cheese and some leftover noodles. Total calories = 500. That means, dinner can only be 900 which shouldn't be too much of a problem.

 

[Lizard]

I am being fat tonight and ordered 2 Dominos pizzas as I have a voucher for buy 1 get 1 free.

Anything not eaten today will be had tomorrow for lunch.

 

[TB]

Bottom to top - hamburger bun, mayo, bacon bits, turkey burger, provolone, caramelized onions, American cheese, pile of lettuce, Devil's Spit BBQ, bun top. It was quite tasty, if I do say so myself. The kids said it was the best burger they've ever had.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Baked potato, hot 'n spicy pork rinds for brunch. 500 calories and I'm stuffed!

 

[Joel]

Steak, onions, fries. My brother made the fries, they turned out really well. The onions were caramelized in butter and bacon fat, then deglazed the pan with wine. Seared the steak on a big cast iron griddle, one of the best meals I've had in a while.

Spaghetti from the cafeteria and a Safeway Cola...
