Don't know if you're interested in this. I thought I'd ask.

Tii, I understand your fellow Texan countrymen entertain a food known as "Fritos Pie".

Do you know anything about this?

i've had frito pie i think which is just chili mixed with fritos,
but i havn't seen this stuffed dorito thing yet, i'll have to
try some, thanx!

 

[sleepy]

I had a bowl of Hormel Chunky Chili With Beans mixed with Fritos two nights ago. My Mom used to bake the chili in a casserole with shredded Longhorn Cheddar and Fritos on top. Back in the 60's.
Same thing, huh?

My local 7-Eleven, the new one I posted about last year at this time, still has no cerveza. No wine. No Bud. The People are supposed to able to grab a Big Bite or a slice of Pizza with a brew.

My local 7-Eleven is no good!

 

[Tii]

mmmm Longhorn Cheddar....I like!

 

[sleepy]

It's weird. Longhorn is the shredded cheddar used at places like Taco Bell.
It's my favorite cheese, but the Kroger chain supermarkets recently stopped selling it. On the other hand, Taco Bell quit using Hampshire (cultured) Sour Cream awhile ago. Now they're using Yogurt. They need to read the fat report...

It's In The Bag...

This is what passes for Frito Pie these days.

YUMMM ?

YUMMM... ?

 

[Tii]

i'll have the second one...

 

[sleepy]

That could be Yummm. It all depends on the chili con carne, or.

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

so what other ways are you people trying to commit suicide, if i may ask?

jesus.

 

[sleepy]

I could try not eating.

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

and don't ever let me claim i'm not a hypocrite. yesterday with my subway chopped salad and turkey burger from the diner (sauteed onions and blue cheese) i had a small bag of jalapeno kettle fries. prolly doesn't sound like much, but...

- should be eating organic
- shouldn't be eating processed meat (the burger)
- should be avoiding dairy
- shouldn't be eating preserved / fried / starchy products

yea, one day closer to stroke / heart attack... couldn't resist. :)

 

[sleepy]

But lately I start my mornings off with an apple cinnamon cereal bar and an Ensure (Vanilla or Butter Pecan).

Is that alright?

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

ensure is the worst offender... loaded with simple sugars, unfortunately. maybe replace it with a piece of fruit?

also, how about oats on the stovetop as an alternative? (steelcut are best, but rolled will do) then immediately upon cooking, sprinkle in some frozen berry mix (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries) and maybe a little honey to taste.

the cost is low, sugar index is modest, and you're doing your body a favor with fiber, antioxidants, nutrients and anti-diabetic.

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

btw, re: ensure,
i know it's designed to be a meal substitute for those in need, loaded with a range of vitamins, but my take on the studies is that they consistently find that added vitamins are decidedly inferior to the same stuff absorbed through whole foods.

i mean, it's not a big stretch to say that our GI system evolved to absorb things one way, not so much the other. daily vitamin products (like ensure) may even be harmful for various reasons, e.g. overload of fat soluble vitamins in fatty tissue. but there may also be a 'system shock' component as well.

Too Much Fruit...?

I'm trying to loose more than a few pounds. Twice this week I ate just fruit all day. I was surprised how satisfying it was. I made a huge bowl of Cantaloupe, Honeydew, Strawberries, Blue Berries and Grapes. Plus a couple Oranges and Grapefruits on the side.
Weight Watchers allows unlimited fruit and they don't count fruit calories. I think it may be working as I've need to tighten my belt. Eating just vegetables always leaves me craving bread or whatever. The fruit...well I just kept throwing it down and felt good and satisfied.
Are there risks in eating all this fruit?

As for OTC vitamins. I have had reactions to multi's , B complex, D 2000IU. Some of those were under doctors orders. I don't take those because of tachycardia and stomach pain. I still take some Selenium and have been for over 30 years.

Twice this week I ate just fruit all day.

Wish I could say that; I have a tree of fantastic-tasting oranges (don't know which variety) that I encourage friends to come harvest because I have an aversion to licking juice from my usually- dirty or greasy hands.

Cantaloupe, Honeydew, Strawberries, Blue Berries and Grapes. Plus a couple Oranges and Grapefruits on the side.

Good mix, although I've never warmed up to grapefruit. Put'em all together, though, and I'll find a way to get through it.

Preferably with a fork.

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

coily--
awesome, good man.
same kind of approach that helped me go from 190 to 145. (as a skinny little 5'8" man)

btw, one of my heroes in life, jane goodall, spent her adulthood in the presence of our closest relatives and found that the chimpanzee tribes move rather exactingly in response to various fruit ripening. makes sense for us too, i think.

there is a very close relationship between flowering / fruiting plants and animals, and we are just one part of that mix. it's a pity that we think the whole thing revolves around us, but it's just not true IMO.


EDIT: grapefruit is very dangerous in combination with various meds. so be vewwy vewwy quiet when hunting bugs. just sayin.

 

[GSGregg]

No surprise that something I've failed to embrace after sixty-seven years might be dangerous, but I don't get the 'bug' part; does grapefruit harbor something more evil than the mini-beetles that burrow into oranges?

What the heck---the Vodka will cancel 'em.

 

[Coil_Smoke]

I know grapefruit affects the absorption of drugs. Like increasing serum levels of opiates. Then grapefruit can interfere with metabolism of chemicals in the liver by blocking some enzymes. I have learned to love grapefruits. I saw a friend eating one like an orange. Peeling it by hand. I gave that a try and yes the first couple sections can be mighty tart. Then the sugar content comes forward and the thing becomes a real treat. Vodka and grapefruit(A 'Greyhound' ???)is a very intoxicating kick in the pants and I think it takes advantage of those notorious side effects of grapefruit.

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

i meant that as a riff on elmer fudd hunting bugs bunny. middle-aged humor i guess.

They're now available. Okay. I tried. I ate. They are Great.
But curiously, they are Breaded, not tortilla chip crumbs.
They still have the seasoning. What I got was a solid thick slice of blended brick cheeses with peppers and onion, and coated with seasoned bread crumbs. They should be coated in light crunchy Doritos tortilla crumbs, like a pocket cheese Quesadilla, but the current version will do.

The cheese flavor is outrageous. Very rich and unexpected.
The sodium level is high, 1 gram which is half the recommended daily limit. They could cut that and still have a great product by relying on the onions and peppers.
