I went to the grocery store yesterday to pick up a bag of chips and some of Guy Fieri's salsa for lunch, and I did my standard look-but-don't-touch temptation walk by the baked goods. I noticed that there was a new flavor of Lofthouse Sugar Cookies out: Key Lime. I caved and ended up getting a...

There's nothing wrong with Guy Fieri's food. I expect that kind of hipster attitude from those elitists in the cooking thread, but I figured folks here would be more receptive of his food-for-the-everyman approach to cooking.

I like Tostito's, and that's what I bought last night. However, I noticed the grocery store had a whole series of Guy Fieri salsas which I'm going to try next time. I like his stuff in general.

The last couple pages of this thread inspired me to pick up a couple bags of tortilla chips and some jars of salsa on the way home last night.

No taco trucks around here, but a shitload of pupuserias. I've never had them but they smell great.

Just finished the 184-mile C&O Canal Towpath ride. It was really fun, and doing it over 3 days meant it was a nice, leisurely ride. The weather cooperated as well, and we didn't have to deal with any strong rain or excessive heat.

I missed this among Himeo's retardation. In the fall and spring I eat in a similar fashion due to my insanely hectic schedule. Often I'll end the day with 1200 - 1500 calories to eat due to being so busy all afternoon and not really eating much, which means I get to gorge on a massive, delicious...

There's a difference between spreading the word about a diet that works and claiming that it is the ONLY way to lose weight. Just because calories in vs. calories out didn't work for you doesn't mean it's completely useless for everyone. Likewise, just because restricting sugar was the best way...

Just be honest: you hate her because she's fat.

Is there a reason to use white pepper in alfredo beyond appearance? I actually like how alfredo sauce looks with black pepper added. I can make a mean alfredo sauce but it's so much more expensive than just buying a jar of it in the grocery store for a couple bucks, so I don't make it often.

While I didn't find this movie particularly funny, I think she's pretty funny overall. I enjoyed her in Identity Thief and The Heat, which I think are the only other movies I've seen her in. I never considered it, but I like the comparison to Chris Farley and it seems pretty apt.

I never thought that Ossoi would become a voice of reason in this thread. His coconut oil crusade of old has nothing on Himeo's jihad against sugar.

I didn't realize the season was about to end. I really like the faster pace that this shortened season has had. I'd love it if they had the balls to let World War 3 starting be the end of the season/series, but in typical 24 fashion he's going to save the day at the last second. However, I...

Yes, I think that has become obvious to everyone by now.

I don't disagree that reducing carbs is great if you are trying to lose weight, but to say that calories in vs. calories out is "bullshit" is just silly. There is more than one way to lose weight. There are plenty of people in this thread (myself included) who have lost weight and maintained...

Wasn't there some guy a few years ago who lost a ton of weight by eating nothing but Twinkies? Aren't twinkies pretty much pure sugar?

The best part of this movie was Dale's Pale Ale.

Eating 5000 calories a day worth of steak will help you lose weight. Also bacon. Don't forget another 1,500 calories of bacon. As long as you avoid sugar you'll lose weight.

Even if you snack on healthy stuff you need to be wary of portion sizes. I can easily eat my daily calorie limit in nuts and fruits between meals. I'm pretty sure this has been proven to be false. I'm sure Deathwing or The Master will swoop in with their science, bitch! and present studies.

Bunch of crazy people in this thread. X1 and X2 were, and still are, great movies. And it's not just nostalgia talking because I've seen both of them again fairly recently and enjoyed them just as much as I did originally.

Someone brought a home brewed Old Bay beer to a 4th of July bbq. It was really tasty.

I really dislike the HDTV menu boards that some places are using for their menus. It's not a problem if they're frozen in a single menu, but lots of them change and rotate through stuff, which is annoying when I'm trying to decide what I want. They also have the very real negative of dying and...

Working from home unrustled so many of my jimmies. Sweet, sweet solitude!

That's strange. I'm a HUGE Panera Bread fanatic and I've gone to more than a dozen locations, both out in the middle of nowhere in the suburbs and jam-packed ones right in the center of D.C. I've never had to wait more than 5 - 10 minutes MAX for anything and any location. In fact, the busiest...

I had been living and working in bumfuck Kazakhstan for over a year, and I decided to take a 3 week vacation back in the States. In the States I basically spent the entire 3 weeks lounging around and eating all the food I missed so much from being overseas: pizza rolls, pizza hut, Doritos, steak...

My record for weight gain is 30 pounds in 3 weeks. It was so much fun.

Wow, never thought I'd see a lemonade hipster.

Are you student teaching every day? I'm kind of doing the reverse of you: I work a 9 - 5 job and then teach from 6 to 10. However, I teach in a college setting which requires a hell of a lot less energy, prep time, and grading time than a public school. Even still, towards the end of each...

A jacket works, especially if it has an inside pocket. However, he's going in August so it's going to be hot as hell in a lot of places, so I don't think wearing a jacket would be comfortable. The whole point of a money belt is that it's discrete and under your clothes so not only is it...

The vast majority of stores allow you to simply input/tell them your phone number instead of carrying the card around.

For real, I just looked up a lot of the challenges he faced during the show's run and a ton of them look like my typical Saturday binge eating feasts. I wish I'd had the bright idea of coming up with the show, and I wouldn't have turned into a fat, raging alcoholic.

I'd heard of Man Versus Food but I've never seen a single episode. I always thought it was about a guy trying to eat really disgusting exotic shit around the world. On the topic of the thread, I think both of them are idiots: him for feeding the trolls and her for being a giant sack of...

If you're drinking anything other than alcohol on vacation, you're vacationing wrong.

The way I always used mine was to keep just a single credit card and a small amount of cash in my front pocket. My passport and other cards plus the bulk of my cash were kept safely in my money belt. You're probably right that you won't get pick pocketed, but it's always a possibility. Much like...

I agree with everything Adam wrote except this. I'd definitely recommend getting a money belt, especially if you're going to be visiting big touristy areas (places that pick pockets love). It's only like 15 - 20 dollars for a simple money belt that can keep your passport, credit cards, and extra...

It's a limited run in stores, so maybe it's doing so well that it has already sold out in many places.

If you are looking better in the mirror, why worry about what the scale says? Put it away and stop weighing yourself.

If you make it to D.C. I'll eat some pizza rolls with ya.

DC characters have always struck me as having particularly stupid names, but a lot of that is probably just due to the age of the characters. Amazo, Weather Wizard, Mirror Master...they sound like Mega Man villains.
