'Night all.

Is that related to the Red Truck wines?

so how about my...er um.. the defense of that officer luv :p

I dunno. It's out of California.

I'm great at detective work. Just not at nearly 4 in the morning.

I have hated them for years but seeing some of my friends miss work the next day after dollar dog night at Coors Field last spring reinforced my belief.

:shrug: I tried...you headed off to bed?

well there is your problem I try not to eat out anymore because I don't trust the we-todd-did kids who handle/cook my food

Yeah. Thanks for making it interesting. :)

I try not to eat out because I get almost uncontrollably addicted to fast food when I do. One trip to Wendy's or Taco Hell leads to a week of eating that shit, and another 5 pounds to get rid of. I'm trying my hardest to stop the cycle, and to eat more wholesome stuff. It ain't easy.

Anytime...I'm full of crap to talk about all the time...sleep well

Start a wine thread one of these days. I am out of the loop but you are back/moving back to KC? With a larger city you should have better access to good budget wine.

Yeah I hear ya...I had it a couple of weeks ago when I went to sonic and ordered a supersonic breakfast burrito w/ tots and an ocean water...got all the way home and had a hamburger...WTF?!? and it wasn't the first time they screwed up my order but it was the last

AKA wine in a box?

Umm....No.

Random thought:

Does anyone still use APB...all I ever see are BOLO's

Pizza's the other problem. Early in the month, I did Papa Murphy's, and then less than a week later decided to I wanted Papa John's delivered.

Been cooking ever since, thankfully. Actually ate cantaloupe and strawberries for a snack yesterday. I'm surprised my intestines haven't gone on strike. They probably will later, after I start to eat salad.

Even more than the weight, the expense is the killer for me. It's been a slow spring work-wise, and I can spend as much in two days of eating out as I do in a week+ at the grocery.

that is budget wine no? :shrug:

Oh yeah the prices are getting out of hand $7 for a burger, fries and drink from McD's

I learned a weird lesson about portion sizes, too.

About a month ago, the folks where I work decided to have Taco Bell. Not wanting to take advantage of their generosity, I only asked for a soft taco and an order of zesty nachos.

They added an empenada, but the moral of the story is that, while I'd usually get at least 3 soft tacos, nachos and a huge drink, and often a lot more (to the tune of 8 or 9 bucks at Taco Hell, which is saying something) I was *full* on 1 zesty nacho, 1 soft taco and 1 caramel apple empenada.

Talking about this is making me want to get tacos tomorrow. Taco Hell really is the most economical. I can get 3 soft tacos and an iced tea for $3.75.

$.99 for a 2 liter of soda, $3 for a 1 lb bag-o-fries and $3 for 1 lb of hamburger that will last me a week of eating a burger fries and soda

Keep reminding yourself toxic hell instead of "taco" hell and it will help

And WTF is up with $20 for a large pizza? I mean really! $4 for a frozen pizza from the grocery

I think I need to start doing that. The downside is that I can't grill out here. There's an overland park ordinance against charcoal/gas grilling in apartment complexes. I may be the only person who observes it, but that's how I am.

Maybe I should drag my grill out into the middle of the lawn.

More of wino budget. For getting you drunk boxed wine probably packs more of a punch than cheep beer. Though I guess budget is a relative term. I was thinking under $10 a bottle.

ahhh...I'm a hard lemonade kinda guy anyway...better hangovers

That's why I do Papa Murphy's (that's the take home and bake pizza). 6.99 for a large pepperoni. Really good pizza, too.

:hmmm: I have noticed residents of apts around here grill in the courtyard area....I never really looked into the law I think they just prohibit doing it on the balcony

ahh...never had papa murphy's...sound slike I just might sometime in the near future....are they 24 hours?

Thinking of what the meat at taco bell looks and taste like is enough to keep me away except for the rare drunken night when there are no other options.

a 24 hour Sonic helps

No, 'fraid they're not. I think they actually close at 8 or 9 here.

It's kind of cool. You order your pizza, they make it, right in front of you, wrap it up and you get to take it home and cook it up. You can refrigerate them, of course, too, and cook it whenever you want.

They close fairly early. I really like their pizzas but the franchises are mostly in the Denver suburbs.

yeah the only one I can think of off hand is the one off of mississippi and I-225

There is a middle eastern place very close to me that is open 24 hrs that is gold if I'm in a drunken pinch.

just give it a lil while I'm sure they will start to compete with McD's and Sonic and Toxic Hell and Burger King

have you ever had viva burrito?

If you live down south there is also one off Arapahoe and I-25.

I doubt it. They don't really have an incentive. They seem to target the family rather than the kind of nuts that are up this time of night.

Good stuff? Googled it and there isnt one close to me.

I live in westy...which has its own benefits ...the promenade, broomfield events center etc etc

yeah not bad at all actually for a small ma and pa owned company....also GOTTA eat chubbys...that stuff is really good

play place? :shrug: I dunno shat seems to really suprise me lately like the whole 24 hour sonic...I wish A&W would come back stronger and get the fuck away from KFC.....that place is awful I prefer popeyes or churches to that place

I am much more familiar with that area outside of my own in south denver. There is a papa murphys up your way then. 120th and Sheridan I think.

Yeah I think they have 4 places..I know of the places off of leetsdale and quebec and pecos and hwy 36

OH! I know where you are talking about...by the 24 hour fitness

holy shit I post way too much

Oh, it's not a play place, or a sit-in-place, but they're geared towards working parents picking up dinner on the way home. At least that's what it looks like to me.

A&W's here are connected to Long John Silver's. The KFC's are stand-alone, exept for one that's a KenTacoHut.

I actually like KFC, but primarily because it's a fast food place where I can get green beans and corn on the cob, rather than fries. And I have a weakness for biscuits.

Its near there. On the other side of 120th and by the grocery store east of sherridan. I want to say its a King Soopers.

Yeah I have seen the LJS combo out here too...love the LJS


you n me both :drool:

got it...I'll hafta go check em out sometime...if I don't get distracted by the popeyes up there too

And home-made cinnamon rolls :drool:

Yeah, I'm glad we brought the LJS up. One more thing to crave.

Thankfully I have some lobster-stuffed salmon in the freezer, so hopefully I can stave it off.

Abos up in Broomfield has some pretty good NY style pizza too but its a bit overpriced. Better by the slice lucnh spot.

eeww I have heard BAD things about Abo's

I baked tollhouse cookies last week, but instead of 2 cups of semisweet chips, I used a cup of semisweet chips and a cup of dark chocolate M&Ms.

I have some more weight to jog off now.

OMG I'm coming over!...only if your cookin tho

[token homophobe joke of the night]Just don't stare at my butt[/token homophobe joke]

"you can eat whateeever you want, but your gonna work it off later" famous drill sergeant quote just before boot-camp christmas vacation

Pei Wei usually gets me when i'm up there.

I'll be too busy salavating over the salmon :p

You're making it really difficult not to make a sequel to the homophobic comment of the night. ROFL

Its pretty damn good. I have had better around town but still its good.

actually I'm a huge sucker for the really nice chinese place ...I forget the name....down by the park meadows mall they also have one on 16th street...damn can't think of it

Be my guest I am here to entertain and be entertained:)

Man, I haven't had chinese in months.

You guys are killing me tonight.

lol you know how it goes....once on the topic of food....

The only one I can think of down by park meadows is John Holly's.

We started talking about burgers and my brain went straight to ruddfuckers. But we've moved on to the even worse arena of asian food now. Maybe it's time to try the thai place next door.

'course I've been saying that for 4 years.

no thats not it....maybe I'm being too specific it is asian food....really upscale kinda place...hence park meadows and the 16th street locations....actually there is one in lakewood off of wads and alameda...damn

PF Chang's? I know there is one of those in Lakewood as well.

P.F. Changs DUH!....damn I'm dumb

Thai is not bad at all...place here in denver called swing thai....also you gotta try indian food, really really good...it is all spicy tho

Swing Thai is pretty good. Glad you brought it up since its one of those I liked a lot but haven't been to in quite a while. There are several Asian places I have been meaning to try over in that area near Broadway but always forget.

if you like swing thai you gotta try the indian place off 6th ave and Emerson (?) I think... it is by Rainman...maybe we can talk him into buying sometime :D

Thai food's one of my favorites, I just haven't tried the place here. I still have a thing about feeling weird going to restaurants by myself. You'd think I'd get over that after 4 years.]

I've never really been interested in trying Indian. I'm not big on heavy spice (yes, I know that sounds odd after saying I like thai).

well fellas I'm pooped I think I made it to 100 posts tonight so only 900 more to go....another time :p

l8ts

take a book...read and eat at the same time...helps with digetsion

shit 3 more to go...well 2 now ha ha!

I've actually done that several times. I still feel weird taking up a whole table by myself.

Plus, well, I like watching TV while I eat. Hence takeout. hehe
