I know its early. I need help. I need to get something tasty, but not horrible for me. I have like a million options around me. Any suggestions? I want another JJs sandwich but it isnt exactly healthy and it will leave me smelling like onions all day.

The taco salad at Carl's Jr is pretty tasty and at least marginally nutritious...

The IT department here (where I work) is having a cook out at the Finance VP's house for lunch. Burgers and brats FTW....

DD, no Carl's Jr near me. We dont have some of the big name chains around. Sonic, In N Out, White Castle, etc. None here. Kinda weird that we dont as we are a decent-sized city, but we dont have them.

What I really want is disgusting Ohio-style chili, like from Steak N Shake. Ugh, I fail at eating. Well, I win at it, until age 50 when I am dead. :facepalm:

Well - no White Castle, Steak N Shake, or In-N-Out Burger here either. If I could open an In-N-Out burger place in the part of town I live in, or just south of here, I could retire in a year. There are thousands of California refugees here who drool when ever the words 'In-N-Out' are mentioned. Funny - we have an 'In-N-Out' clone place here (local chain) called Old School Burgers whose food is very much on par with In-N-Out, and the store is rarely busy...

I keep telling myself I need to lose a couple of pounds before the holidays. Working in this industry I get so many gift baskets and boxes of chocolate it's ridiculous. I haven't lost a thing though and I really, really want a spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's. :'(

Chili,

For somebody who is fighting over her love, you sure don't seem to be trying very hard.

Tude, you look marvelous. Any leftover goodies, you can send to me. I doubt we'll be getting many gift baskets this year since I work in investments. :D

I'm actually kind of worried the goods will dry up over here this year too. They temporarily moved us to another building so I'm afraid the vendors will forget about us. :'(

But, I still usually put on 5ish lbs when it gets cold. Between the holidays and the fact that I get really bad seasonal depression.

Gift basket??? nope....

Death threats??? probably.....

We used to get gift baskets and tons of cookie tins from our vendors. That stopped last year, not a single freakin' cookie tin in our department. I guess we are too small a company to try and impress.

Why the depression? Oh, and in all seriousness, judging by what I recall seeing of you, I dont think 5 pounds is going to kill you. You seem pretty reasonable compared to most chicks, dont go getting all insane over a few pounds either way.

No reason. Some people just get seasonal depression from lack of sunlight. I'm one of them.

I don't get insane over a few pounds. I just remember last year when I put on 15 between the seasonal depression and the hormone shots they had me one. I don't want to ever have to try to lose 15lbs again. Losing weight effing blows.

I was going to pick up 5-6 Jr. Frosties and let the peeps I work with fight over them. Instead I bought one of those $1 Halloween coupons books and got 10 Frosties. :D

Wendys spicy chicken is awesome. I'd still like to try the Ralleys/Checkers spicy one. It looks very good.

When i make a fresh batch at home i'll take a better pic. It really is soooo good.

They WERE good, tude. ;D And the chicken recipe sounds awesome. One of these days I will try it.


Bonus lunch pic. I thought this was extra sauce. Apparently the platter comes with gyro meat:

FWIW, I tried the new Buffalo Chicken Sandwich at Wendy's last week.

It was really nothing to write home about. The Buffalo sauce was weak sauce. I'll stick with the spicey chicken in the future.

Phil513
10-08-2008, 05:16 PM
Oh and Chihli, if you want to add heat to the adobo recipe, which i do, i toss a good amount of dried crushed red pepper in the pot, along with the peppercorns. Its not buffalo wing hot, but adds a bit of tingle without changing the flavor.
