I told you the other day that I would be posting a picture to This Is Why You’re Fat as soon as I found it. Well, I found it and I sent it to them. I hope it makes it on the site!
These Double Heart Attack Fries come from Abock.com. Hope he doesn’t mind my submission – I did fully credit him though! He seems to have a good sense of humor from his blog, so hopefully I don’t get web-yelled at! Well, the internets are for sharing. When the boy showed me this picture, I said, “Omg I need this.” Look at that gooey cheese melted over the fries. And the grilled onions. Mmmm.
Yeah, it looks gross. I know. But also good.
This weekend I’m going to the Seattles to visit my brother, his girlfriend and their pup. We have some great things planned, including some delicious meals. This menu to Portage Bay Cafe looks AMAZING for breakfast – look at their options! To name a few – Chai and Soy Milk Oatmeal, Organic Prawn Omelette (with goat cheese!), Organic Apple & Whole Wheat Pancakes, Â Buckwheat and Rice Flour Pancakes for the gluten intolerant, Graham Cracker Crusted Challah French Toast (with vanilla custard!), and so so so many more mouth-watering options. The pancakes and french toast all include a trip to the toppings bar. Wow. As you know, I am a BIG TIME breakfast fan. I want it all.
And no trip to Seattle (at least this section of it) is complete without a visit at Red Mill Burgers which is just a few blocks from my brother’s apartment! They have some secret sauce that is just addicting and delicious. I also wanted to check out the place my brother goes every week for Thai Tuesday — hopefully we have time to go everywhere we want to.
Anyway, as you know I have been trying to listen to my tummy. This means generally cutting out all carbs. But lunch can get expensive when living on protein and today when I was in the Amish Market in Tribeca I spotted Annie’s Organic Mac and Cheese in SINGLE SERVINGS! Just add water! 240 calories! The Easy Mac of my college days has come back to me slightly healthier. For only $5.49 a box (includes 5 meals) I couldn’t pass it up. Especially with my love of mac and cheese. Yes, I know my stomach can’t always tolerate carbs. But I thought to myself, “How can I know if I don’t try?”
If my tummy says no way, then I will listen and give the box away. But at least I tried and can honestly rule it out. Another visit to the doctor tomorrow will hopefully give me some more insight. We’ll see. . .
Have a great Presidents’ Day Weekend!
