I ate almost 1500 calories worth of cookies yesterday.
They tasted really good, but I didn't feel well by the end of the day. 0 -

Oh god that sounds amazing! Good luck and take some pictures! I wish I was as adventurous as all y'all on here when it comes to cooking/baking! I haven't a clue when it comes to most of that stuff

My DOH! would recommend Carnegie Deli but only if you are keen on a pound of corned beef.
Oh thanks that'd be great
Just make sure you get a New York style pizza- Ahhh my mouth is watering thinking of all he great food the city has to offer! I hope you have a blast!!
Mmm pizza.. I will definitely be doing that! I've also been told to get a chicken kebab from one of the food trucks aha and I really want a lobster roll. Can't even imagine the amount of calories I am gonna consume. Thankyou!
A few people on MFP have mentioned there are a lot of awesome bakeries & gelato/ice cream destinations in New York.

If you like to thrift store shop then visit www.thethriftshopper.com to find out where they're located in NYC. I bet you could find a lot of treasures in some of the locations, but I would bet the prices will be a bit higher since they're in NYC.

Baking requires strictly following the directions or things can go very wrong. Cooking is just finding what you think sounds good together and experimenting. I love both.0 -

Don't you hate that! Food get in MAH belly! I also agree with what Franc has said about weighing a protein bar & finding out it has around 30-40 more calories than it should. Today I weighed my Quest bar & it weighed 70 grams instead of 60 which I am not going to complain since it's Quest & more Quest isn't a bad thing, but I can see how it can screw up someone's day if everything weighs more than what it should.
I confess that today I went to Wal-Mart to grab some groceries & was pleasantly surprised that they have started to carry a bit more healthy/organic/vegetarian meals. I bought a few Evol frozen meals I haven't tried before & around six Amy's frozen burritos (I wish they had Red's brand but oh well). I also bought some more diet soda since I can't live without my Diet Mountain Dew. Oh Diet Mountain Dew how I love you so. I bought another package of Oreos not that I need anymore since I bought the new S'Mores, Mega Stuf, & Reese's Peanut Butter ones on Sunday. This time I got the Lemon Oreos & was surprised that they actually have a pleasant lemon taste. To round out the shopping trip I got Breyer's Golden Oreo ice cream (I haven't had that one in ages) & their Raspberry Cheesecake flavor. For those that are lactose intolerant I noticed my local Wal-Mart has the new Silk Cashew ice cream flavors & some of the flavors seem pretty good. If they would've had the Snickerdoodle one I would've bought that too.

That's exactly what I always tell people! Experimenting in baking works by a VERY small margin (working within wet to dry ratios, for example) before you get a big ole disaster on your hands.
I am in love with both cooking and baking, but I find baking more "creatively" challenging (since I LOVE to experiment) so I enjoy it more. I've had tons of fails but a few really awesome wins! 0 -
I didn't log at all this weekend and I ate SO MUCH FOOD!

Never mind letting us know how they turn out... just let me know when they're READY, I'll be on your doorstep. 0 -
I'm working on my squat depth at the gym. To help me with this, my PT set up a box that my bum has to hit. Unfortunately, whenever my bum hit the box... it sounded like I was farting

This is why I love cooking and enjoy baking only on rare occasions.0 -
I cook more than I bake, simply because if I bake...I might not be able to control myself. haha.
Yesterday I did make a Sopapilla cheesecake that turned out amazingly. My family ate it up! I left two pieces for my parents and took two for myself. I did adjust the recipe by using lower calorie items and nixing the sugar for truvia. And using a tablespoon of butter rather than a quarter cup. It was so good!0 -
Just been playing cat-ch up.
These are my two boys, they don't really have proper names. They are called black cat and ginge.

My goal is to catch up today.I have a fascination with calendars. I love them. I always have multiple calendars up. I think they appeal to me because I have a short attention span, so I get a new picture every month. I get excited when it's "new calendar day". I tell my dog when it's new calendar day, but she doesn't seem to care.
Yay, I'm not the only one. I have five calendars at the moment (three are in my room, one in the bathroom and one by the computer). One is a black cat calendar and I always tell my black cat about the new picture.My new manager is starting Tuesday and I have to give the New Hire Orientation. I hate doing it, hate hate hate public speaking! I'm torn between doing a crappy job so I never get asked to do it again and trying harder than usual to impress the new boss.
I'm right there with you on this one. Whenever my manager is out I have to help with her part of the new hire presentation. I always get nervous during it and forget what I'm saying at least once. Hate it!noaddedsugarx wrote: »He was so cute when he was a little kitty! -
Now he's a big beast!
AWW. So cute! I wish I could have seen my Lovey as a kitten.I love fat cats. And I can't take 100% full responsibility for coming up with this nickname. My husband and I used to watch King of Queens and there was an episode where Dough (Kevin James's character) was called Fatty McButter Pants by some kid and that cued him into the fact that he was overweight. Or something along those lines. Ever since that episode, Owen was coined with that moniker. It was very fitting. No pun intended.
Awesome. I love King of Queens and I was wondering if that was where you got that name.
That was supposed to say Doug but my phone changed it.

I went to a birthday party yesterday, had hotdogs, pulled pork, chicken dip, cake ice cream and more beer than I should have. Then did a Glow Run where I work with my mom, wife, daughter and niece.
Today I put a brisket on the smoker at 8am and as of right now it's almost up to temperature. Stoked up a fire around 10am and did steaks for lunch and have had a few adult beverages since then while taking care of some yard work and now I'm just chilling by the fire waiting for the brisket to finish.

Thanks for the links! I've bookmarked them and now I've got a wicked craving for gelato

Join the club! Along with so many beers.. I keep vowing to make the switch to gin and slimline tonic but I've just discovered I can get Brooklyn Lager here and I absolutely love it. I miss the days I used to think beer/lager was gross. It's so funny how your tastebuds change as you get older.

Have you tried tequilla with plenty of freshly squeezed lime juice and slimline tonic? It tastes amazing - I was g&t fan for many years but slimline tonic kind of killed that a bit, but with tequilla and lime it's just so tasty

I haven't but I love the sound of that. Definitely trying it next time I'm out!0 -

Still haven't seen my Owen. It's getting hard to hold onto hope. I am starting to resent my stepdaughter's cat because she's here and Owen isn't.
I had so many things planned to do today but so far I've pretty much managed to do nothing more than catch up on this thread.
I, too, am loving all the pet pictures. If I could figure out how to post pictures from my phone, I would.
We were invited to a baptism and dinner yesterday where I did not restrict or even pay attention to what I was eating. I just ate. Loaded cheesy mashed potatoes, hot dog, nachos, chicken with mushroom gravy, 3 dinner rolls with butter, roasted vegetables, Dr. Pepper, chips and dip, and 2 homemade cupcakes. My stomach hurt so bad and sounded like a door in a haunted house. So many noises.
The only regret I have was not having another cupcake. Although I think my stomach would have exploded if I had.0 -

Awww. This is so sad. I sure hope he turns up. 0 -
I also love the pet photos.
Here are mine:
The littler one is Trevor and the bigger one is Ajax (after the large Greek warrior, although he was tiny when we got him, not the cleaning fluid).

Confession I am on Youtube & listening to Eddie Murphy's Party All The Time.
I don't know what's funnier Eddie Murphy having a hit song, Rick James hair looking like a poodle, or the random crazy guy in the video dancing that looks like Kanye West.0 -

Somehow that came up when I was talking to some co-workers a couple of weeks ago. I'm old enough to have memories of when it was a hit, but had managed to block it out. ;-) It was one of those "can you believe this was a thing" memories that can be so fun.
I also always forget when Eurovision is, so thanks to this thread I'm planning to make my sister listen to/watch all the entrants with me tonight. We discovered Eurovision around the time she first got a BlueRay player, and went nuts streaming the videos (probably 2012?).0 -
OK, I have to get in on the pet-sharing action. Here's Wilbur (dog) and Muffin (cat). This is one of the first times they actually interacted in a calm way. Wilbur really wants to be friends but Muffin is not overly interested.
Muffin is the older sister and very much thinks she's a pretty princess.
Wilbur is my big baby. He loves lounging in the sun and cracks me up how he'll put himself in weird spots to get the last bit of sun. (FYI/BTW to earlier complaints about cat-calling while running: No one cat-calls me when I'm running with him)

I like cats but dogs trump cats for me and I LOVE your doggy!! What kind of dog is he? So cute! That face!0 -
Thanks @LBuehrle8! I'm a primarily dog person, too. Wilbur's a rescue of unknown origin, but the vet thinks he's a Boxer/Great Dane mix. He is the sweetest boy with a cute under bite that pokes out sometimes
