I haven’t posted recently because I started a new job, and quite frankly haven’t had the time. It’s been awhile since I have cooked on a yacht, and I forgot how much fun it is! We head to the Bahamas for a trip next week and I have been busy getting to know the galley (and the crew). Turns out I will be working with one of the crew members of the last yacht I worked on. He isn’t here now (that’s another story), but it will be fun to see him again, and his room is right across from mine. I haven’t been to the Bahamas before, so I am excited. I have been doing some research on the cuisine and it isn’t the healthiest. They have a high rate of diabetes and other illnesses related to poor diet. I have avoided Conch for some reason, but will include Conch Ceviche as part of my menu. I will be so busy I doubt I will be posting, but I will take some pictures and post.
I don’t know why I have been so obsessed lately with what is in the food we eat at restaurants. Celeste and I ate at a Chinese restaurant last night and there were some tastes and colors that were funky. Her egg drop soup was a disturbing bright yellow, not even saffron or turmeric could make it that color (not that Chinese food would have those ingredients anyways), and the sauce for our spring rolls was a very bright red. Here is a quick article on some items that you thought were healthy, but aren’t. Of course there is an item on there that I love. I used to think I was enjoying a healthy smoothie with my Peanut Butter Moo’d drink at Jamba Juice (you have to click the link at the bottom of the article to read), I have drank more of those darn things than I care to tell you! For those of you trying to lose weight, don’t forget- don’t drink your calories. Anika (one of our consulting dietitians) researched and wrote a report on the healthiest things to eat at some of the mos popular restaurants. I will have for you soon.
If found this site today. It is too funny, the ultimate in our super-sized society. These are real meals! It makes the chicken burrito in my last post look like spa food. My favorites? Let’s see, how about the bacon wrapped mozzarella sticks? Wait, maybe it’s the pizza topped with mini-pizza’s? Hold on, I like the hamburger crust pizza too, but then again, who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned meat cake? This is tough- you gotta check it out.
I love lists like this, inevitably I wind up having enjoyed something on the list. This time it happens to be the chicken burrito at Chipotle. Over 1000 calories and 2500mg of sodium- holy @#?!
America’s Funniest Videos is one of my favorite programs. I saw this video tonight and it is my worst nightmare, can you imagine? There was another funny segment of people fainting, and I swear they were all men at the altar (I’m not kidding), it was too funny, not a single lady.
My buddy Cheffrey sent me this picture. I think it was a call in order for a cake that said “best wishes Suzanne” and underneath that “we will miss you”.
It is 80 degrees here today, this time last week we were bracing for a snow storm. That’s why it’s interesting living here. I am done with Winter. In hindsight I could have picked a better time to buy a motorcycle than November. It has been a few weeks since I took it out and had a blast (this is going to be a fun spring). Everyone was out, I counted 3 Lemonade stands in My neighborhood, great to see that tradition still going strong, they each had their little marketing tricks to get the customer, it was too funny. Some dude even passed me on a segway. Don’t forget to spring forward. Click here if you want to open your own virtual lemonade stand.
