What Food, Right now, Are You Eating?

Ben and Jerry

Chicken and pasta, Green tea

Hagen Daz and Girl Scout Cookies

air popped popcorn with just salt

Soon- Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow Cake with Ho-Made Dark Chocolate Buttercream(REAL Butter) Frosting.

R5, That sounds like perfection.

I do the same thing. I am cool with a cake mix, but frosting is always homemade.

I prefer the old fashioned Hersheys Cocoa Icing Recipe!

That what I use r6!

I use Hershey's "Special Dark" Cocoa Icing Recipe. The frosting turns out pitch black in color, but, who cares?

I love banana cake too, so, if available, and I' want that flavor, I'll mix in a couple of overripe crushed bananas to the cake batter.

HOLY FUCK!!!!! ME TOO!!!!!!!!!

It is so funny. In 1996 I was visiting my friend at Duquesne University. I had gotten my first credit card and stayed at The Westin William Penn.

I nailed an awesome hotel room- back then the windows even opened! 18 years old. I thought that hotel was the BALLS.

Anyway, I went full out and ordered room service on my new Citibank card with the $1200.00 limit.. I ordered the chocolate cake- It was clearly the Hersheys Cocoa recipe- It was OUTSTANDING.

So ever since then, that is my chocolate cake of choice. Simple and perfect.

Me too, r8. I have carb and sugar issues. My brain lacks a shut-down mechanism, just like when I used to drink alcohol. One drink, no shutting it down, Same with sugar.

Oh well.

Oh and I forgot to add r8, You're a good writer. I enjoyed reading of your hotel escapade.

Two shakes for breakfast and lunch and a sensible meal for dinner!

Licking, tasting, sensory overload- YES!

By myself, as usual. A loner. Live in a tiny efficiency near Boston.

Annie's four cheese box of macaroni and cheese, with unsalted butter and low-fat milk. Added a no salt added can of peas to it.

Not living in luxury or with a partner like the stereotypical Data Lounger. So, kind of a sad image, no? Proper gays are supposed to live upscale, right?

But it's sufficient -- and I'm sufficient.

Marie Callender Mini Coconut Cream Pie. It's surprisingly good.

They were BOGO at Publix last time I was there. I stocked up and now have an assortment of mini Chocolate Satin, Key Lime and Coconut Cream. I'm set for a long while in the pie dept.

Vanilla cupcakes. I just made them.

Blueberry, parsley, banana, chia, broccoli, honey, vitamin C smoothie.

Omelette with chicken sausage, a little feta, onions, peppers, zucchini and some taters on the side

coffee

Smoooches, r13!

R13- You are more than efficient. I lived in Boston for 2 years on Beacon Street (163 Beacon? I do not remember, but that's close) (2007-2009) in a good sized studio (That place must be 3200 now, I paid 1600 then)

I love Boston efficiencies.

Beautiful building. I was very lucky and had no idea.

You are MORE than efficient.

Any frosting, r15? Just wondering. Not everybody likes it. I do.

Jesus Christ Della, you and I are on some kind of cosmic end of the world wavelength today. Crazy!

Those waxy mini donuts in a bag.

Della, a cupcake is a vessel for FROSTING. Especially cream cheese frosting.

Its ALL frosting!

Triple cream Brie, seedless white grapes, olive oil melbatoast-like crackery things, and Diet Coke.

I just finished a bowl of homemade cabbage soup.

r22, Our molecules are traveling at the speed of light and have stopped, for a quark's millisecond, where we encountered our mutual moment of shared...quarkiness... at the same cosmic wayside.

R25 you ruined it with the Diet Coke

I like the way you think, r24.

Just made up a batch of Toll House cookies. Ate them warm, with an icy glass of milk.

I think cabbage soup sounds divine, r26. It's a chilly, grey early Spring twilight here, just when soup tastes the best.

Hamburger and fries.

These white chocolate and lemon cream covered almonds I bought at Costco.

Tube Steak or Pie.

It’s DL, after all.

Trader Joe’s smoked trout. I buy it, but then always put off eating it although I enjoy it when I do. It’s always after the date and I was basically “it’s use it or lose it time” and as food is running low I can not not eat. But it was good.

What's a tube steak?

Fried egg sandwich. Probably sounds gross to most people, but it's one of my comfort foods.

A brownie with vodka and lime seltzer.

Ginger tea with whiskey. I guess that's not food.

A simple BLT with flavorful crispy bacon, real mayo, juicy ripe tomatoes and a good wheat toasted bread. So much flavor!

Mac & cheez from a box. Pepperidge Farm coconut cake, previously frozen. Coming up: TVP tacos & more cak.

Now I want Pepperidge Farm Coconut Cake. I'll have to add it to my list for when I venture out again.

Crab salad - just some flaked imitation crab meat, Old Bay seasoning, Hellman's mayo, and diced celery. I got it chilling in the fridge. Not sure what I'm going to serve it on/with though in the meantime.

Lemon thyme chicken with quinoa and broccoli.

I just finished a slice of my home made lemon cheesecake.

I just had a pint of butter pecan ice cream. I have a carryout order of Kung Pao chicken from my favorite Chinese restaurant: I'll dig into that in a little while.

Had a pot brownie about an hour ago now I'm ready for some munchies.

Eclairs made just for me by then neighborhood bakery!

Reading these posts I can see why Americans are obese.

BOGO means Buy One Get One (free). It's a term common in the UK, not common in the US.

The only thing I'm having for dinner is a glass of WATER. I'm trying to lose weight.

Do I type fat?

Sweet potato and black bean soup. I can't do the junk food, the inflammation makes my seasonal allergies go wild and I like to work in the garden for hours every day.

Baba ganoush, Mediterranean pita chips, Folgers instant coffee with raw sugar and half and half, and ice water. That's correct, I live in Seattle (& have done since 1972) and I drink Folgers instant coffee. I have all the heavy equipment like a French Press and a coffee grinder. But it's so much easier to boil the water in the kettle and there's no messy cleanup!

Now that virus mania has swept upon us, my local QFC has snack stuff on clearance. The only benefit to this fucking social distancing. It's starting to make me mashuga, goils...

Nuttin' right now - but having dinner later: pan-fried thin steaks, fries, onion rings, creamed spinach and salad. All home-made by my hubby. I'm one luck fucker...

Ciao Bella Blood Orange Sorbetto

Jalapeno black-eyed peas over rice with some sour cream

So you've hired an African rentboy, you fat whore?

Onion soup, tuna-fish sandwich. I'm saving millions by not buying food in restaurants. It's kind of fun.

Pork belly braised in a soy base with turmeric, garlic, ginger and hot pepper over rice with vegetables.

Basmati rice. I have been having terribly disrupted sleep for the last couple of weeks and barely been eating. In the past I've found that rice helps me sleep. Hopefully it will work.

Taco pie topped with picante sauce and a dollop of sour cream.
