So, whats for dinner tonight?

nice

Sounds good LeeLee! Sweet of your mom to make you dinner :)

When I was a kid ( along long time ago) I walked back and forth to the Catholic school I went to in an old Italian neighborhood of Chicago (where else would be parents be) and when the weather was nice there was this little old man who sold italian lemon ice for .....yes....5 cents. We would always get one for the walk home! Memories!!!

Well, I love food...period...BUT, I have to lose the 10 lbs that my doctor told me I gained since last year. Does anyone have any good low-calorie meal suggestions?

Eleroo, I am going to apologize ahead of time for this.... LeeLee..I had a soft serve cone tonight with colored sprinkles.....

I love Spumoni WITH the candied fruit!!!

I love food!! Luckily with my running I'm in shape, and I'm petite anyway. But my cholesterol sure can get out of whack!! I swear, we're all going to die from something. I was rushing, I was at a football game tonight, so I had a lukewarm hotdog. yuck, they didn't even have any onions to put on it.

Roxy-colored sprinkles are the BEST!!!!

Lawn, I did think of you while I was eating them..and they were all over me.

Fins, I love a good hot dog. The best was at the Henry Ford Museam. They have an Oscar Meyer kiosk there and I had a foot long chili cheese and onion...and boy did I pay. But it was good.

Roxy, I love the Henry Ford museum! I live about 2 hrs away. Did you do the whole Greenfield village thing? When we were there last year we got to sit on Rosa Parks' bus...incredible.

Yes, my sis lives in ypsilanti. My son has been there alot and he wanted us to go so we went this summer. It was so awsome. I love history and this was really neat. Hubby is a car fan so he walked around in a daze. Son wanted to go to Greenfiled and hubby did not, I talked him into it and was so happy I did. It was awsome. Even he thought so. We got to sit on the green and listen to dixiland jazz. It was soo cool. talk about good icecream with colored sprinkles.

LOL!!

My favorite snack is vanilla icecream in a tall glass, covered in a ton of sprinkles & add coke/pepsi to it. Its like a float with sprinkles. Then when you are done with the soda, you can eat all the sprinkles!!

That's ok, Roxy. I came home and had my last high calorie meal for awhile. I had chicken fingers and french fries from Zaxby's. I love pop-tarts, so I had two for dessert. Tomorrow, it's raisin bran and soup for me!

We had volleyball tonight so Taco Bell Beefy-Cheesy melt for me...it didnt sit well :(

Taco bell never does sit well with me! I love it but my stomach doesn't agree!
;)

Volleyballmom! You make your own Tamales and Enchiladas but still eat at Taco Bell. Whats wrong with that picture? Tamales! I almost forgot! Hint hint!

That cheesy-beefy melt is really good though!!!

OMG homemade Mexican food! Volley, when are you having us all over?? :)

I have been trying to pry that tamale recipe from her little Mexican hand but she just won't let go! LOL!

We ended up going to beef o bradys last night. Had a roast beef garlic melt. Very good!

I have never been to a Beef O'Bradys. They are all over here in Tampa Bay. I will have to go.

Then she is going to have us over for dinner then!

Yeah! We will have to remember not to eat on the plane!

I guess I will be eating leaves and sticks for the next few weeks!! Hubby and I went to the Fair last night- ate way too much of all the wrong things- funnel cake, cotton candy,onion petals,etc :shock: If my triglycerides were over 600 before I did this, I can only imagine what they are now!!..KAren

OOHHH! I love Funnel cakes. I am soooo jealous!

Frog, from what I hear they don't serve anything worth eating on the plane anymore anyhow so we should be good and hungry for tamales when we get there.

OMG Karen I LOVE fair food! I didn't go this year because my back was hurting really bad. I ONLY go to the fair for the food!!!!!! I love funnel cake and elephant ears!!!!! I had blood work done today and am not expecting good results.........I have been taking my cholesterol meds though.

U girls are BAD, BAD!
;)
All that fried sugar!! :shock:
Ang

I know- but it tasted sooo good!! I'll take extra fish oil pills :lol:

Ang- I had gone off my meds because they were too high- big mistake!!

At lease we didn't eat the fried mashed potatoes on a stick-heart attack city!!! :lol: karen

Ummmm... fried mashed potatoes on a stick????
:shock:
Do tell more!
ha ha
Ang

Yeah- don't know how they did it, we couldn't find the booth! Somehow, they take mashed potatoes with cheese and bacon, and fry it on a stick-I just wanted to see what they looked like!!
They also had fried brownies- anythig fried to help you reach death sooner :lol:

Ok i'm not a big fried food eater normally but fried taters with bacon n cheese! OMG!
I wanna try that!
:D
Ang
P.S. Ur killin me here, now i'm hungry! ha ha

I am so hungry now too. I have never heard of the fried mashed potatoes on a stick!!! They sound really good, though. I really need to stay away from fried food. I came in late since I had a dr. appt this morning so I don't get a lunch....my coworker is going on a BK run so that's what I will have today.

me too- I am starving!!

Must be all this talk about fried mash taters with bacon n cheese! Wow that sounds awesome!
;)
Ang

Gonna do one last hurrah- fried oysters tonight-brother got them off his shrimp guy :lol:

I'd rather fried shrimp! i'm telling u i hardly EVER eat fried foods now all i can think of is something fried! ha ha
Bad, bad Karen!
;)
Ang

:lol:

I love fried anything! Fried Chicken, shrimp, oysters, cheese.
Tonight is sauteed grape tomatoes in extra virgin olive oil and garlic with arugala and crumbled feta cheese tossed with Iinguini fini with a litte of the pasta water.

I love anything fried. Chicken, Shrimp, oysters even fried cheese.
Tonight is linguini fini with grape tomatoes, arugala and garlic and crumbled feta cheese and a little of the pasta water. It is healthy and tasty!

Sorry frog :( , but none of that sounds close to tasty. I'll take your word for it though!!

frog-that sounds divine!!!

Ah HA!! :P Frog...just noticed your post on here abuot me eating Taco Bell but yet make homemade tamales :wink:


When starvation sits in at 10pm, unfortunately you gotta eat whatever is open :cry:

About the tamales....yes, I can get that recipe to you and anyone else that wants it.

I could eat tamales with homemade red chili & sour cream all day long yum yum!!!

I could eat nothing but Mexican food every day for the rest of my life and be completely happy. I LOVE it. I would also weigh about 1000 lbs, though.

I love Mexican food too. We are fortunate here to have several family run Mexican restaurants. They are a good value too!

Authentic Mexican food is very hard to come by in my part of the country!

Frog, you are in Tampa??

I was born and raised in Port Richey..Moved up north just 10 years ago. I'm still homesick.

I am sure it is! It was hard to come by in NJ as well when I lived there. I am sure that things will change as immigrant entrepeneurs start exploring open markets in different areas.

I live in Clearwater! I was born and raised in NJ and moved here about 3 1 /12 years ago when the job market up north was a mess. It is friggin' October and it is still hotter the a habernero. Whats up with that?

It is unseasonably warm here too-not hotter than a habanero but definitely a lot warmer than normal. Makes me worry that we are going to have a horrible winter.
