There you have it, folks! Month two of what I have ate this year. Oh, the asterisk by “Goulash” is there for a reason. My mother likes to call it, Hamburger Italianio. We’ll call it goulash and she gets upset. It’s the same thing! I am hoping to post another ‘chef john’ video soon. I was quite surprised to see so many videos of people making beef lo mein. Some questions for you,

  1. What should I tone down on eating?
  2. What other places do you recommend?
  3. Should I watch what I eat?
  4. Should I watch what I drink?
  5. Cut back on coffee?
  6. Cut back on soda?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

February Stats – Part I: Drinks

Posted on by

Before I start this post, I need to give myself a pat on the back. I am still going strong on logging in everything I have ate and drank so far. Like January, I am going to post everything I drank and then within a day or two, I will post what I ate.

Here is February. It’s the shortest of all the months. Black history month, Groundhog Day and Valentine’s day all fall in it. I don’t celebrate any of them. I wonder if I ate and drank more this month than last month.

Like before, I’ll post in the same format.

For this month, I had a total of 42 coffees. Let me break it down for you:

  • Starbucks: 26 total. Each coffee cost me about, $2.15. This month I spent, $55.90 on Starbucks coffee. Out of the 28 days, 1 day consisted of 2 coffees. Totaling last month and this month, I have drank, 51 Starbucks coffees and spent a whopping, $109.65! Someone needs to slow down on this coffee. I tried. Really, I did. I just like coffee. If I keep this trend up, drinking roughly 26 coffees a month, I could be looking at a total expense of:

26 coffees x 12 months = 312 coffees

312 coffees x $2.19 = $683.28

If I refer back to this previous post, my total amount is cut in half. Good, yes?

  • With my schedule being changed, I don’t drink my quick morning coffee as often. Compared to last month, I drank 11 less coffees. This month I had, 8 small coffees and 2 large coffees.  The sizes are still the same. The small cups are 8 oz. and the large coffees are 20 oz. servings.
  • I visited Bob Evans twice this month. I had a total of, 5 coffees. That is 8 less than last month. It seems about right. I visited Bob Evans 4 times month. I average about 3 coffees per visit.
  • I had lunch twice at, “Philly Time”. Usually going there means I will get a coffee at Latte Land. I had a total of 2 coffees from Latte Land this month.

Soda:

I told a friend I would try cutting back on soda this month. I don’t think I did. I cannot recall without looking what I drank last month soda wise, but I am sure I either drank about the same, if not more. I had a total of:

  • 43 1/2 cokes
    • 18 1/2 of those are from work. They are 20 oz servings. The half serving is when a co-worker knocked my drink over, losing about 1/2 of it. Out of the 14 days I had these size cokes, 5 days consisted of having 2 cups worth.
    • 20 canned cokes
    • 3 of the 43 were the 20 oz plastic coke bottles
    • 1 was a medium size drink from Burger King.
    • The last coke was when I went to the movies. I saw, Legion. I do not recommend it. It was horrible. I had 1 serving.
  • 8 pepsi’s
    • 1 Pepsi was from Subway.
    • 2 of these were from, Ming Garden. It’s a chinese place I frequent often.
    • 1 was from a local  Italian restaurant.
    • 2 were from my sandwich place, “Philly Time”
    • 1 was from my monthly (sometimes bi-monthly) visit to “Popeye’s Chicken”
    • The last Pepsi I had this month was from, Pizza Street.

That is all the soda I drink this month. That is a total of, 51 sodas. Compared to last month, I drank less. (62 sodas last month) I guess I did improve on something. Kudos to me!

Back to my favorite drink of all, alcohol. Let’s break this down for you. Checking last month, I had 30 Bud Light beers. This month I had, 29. Lets check out the bud lights I had:

  • 25 of those were bottles. My friend and I decided that the 5th beer I drank on, 2/9 was gay. I don’t know how a beer can be gay but it is. That is a long story to explain why we said it. I take many notes about the food and drinks I consume.
  • 2 were Bud Light cans. I am not a fan of the can. I’ll drink it from tap and I’ll drink it from a bottle. I just cannot get to liking the taste from a can. It still has that metal taste. Remind me to tell you an event that happened this night.
  • The last 2 beers I had this month, were from “54 Street” They were both the tall beers. Compared to last months 11, I am slacking. It would be more but I haven’t visited it as often as I like to. I need to get back to doing that. Maybe this weekend. Text me to remind me, please.

Ending off my alcoholic intake for this month was my lack of Rum drinking. Last month I had 36, this month I had only,

  • 8 shots of Captain Morgan Rum. 2 of those shots were for, Matt. He asked and I said okay. They were nightcaps. They did the job. I sleep like a baby.

Aside from all the crap I drink above, I do drink juice. Sure the juices are full of sugar but they still have to be better than all the soda and alcohol I drink. Breaking  down the 18 juices I drank for you, yo:

  • 2 juices were Orange Juices from Bob Evans.
  • 1 of the 18 juices was a Capri Sun. The flavor of the said juice was, Fruit Dive
  • I had a total of 15 minute maid juices.I will say this. I am in love with this juice.

    Minute Maid Orange Juice

    • 1 orange juice
    • 5 cranberry apple raspberry juice
    • 9 cranberry grape juice

Finishing off my list,

  • 1 big ass cup of lemonade from Chic-Fil-A
  • 1 taste test of, sweetened black iced tea (4 oz.)
  • 1 mug of homemade Hot Chocolate
  • 1 glass of 2% white milk (Belfonte)

I don’t see much of a difference in what I drank. Do I think I will ever cut back on coffee? (I’ve already had two so far this month) Will I tone down on the alcohol I drink? Will I drink more water? Only time will tell. There is still ten months left this year. Within the next few days, I will post the food stats.

I am very set in my ways with the food I eat. I like things cooked a certain way. Let’s go back to the first of the month– to a devastating meal prepared for me at work.

small Hy-vee coffee
beef/bean burrito (1/2 size)
bacon cheeseburger (2 slices cheese) – BURNT!
Onion Rings
20 oz. Styrofoam coke
Starbucks coffee
2 mini orange muffins
2 can cokes
subway (cold cut combo)

In the bold writing, I had a fellow employee make me a Bacon Cheeseburger. At first, she was upset that I didn’t ask her. That I only allow certain people to make it. That maybe be true to an extent. The said people were on break and I was heading there as well. Sadly, she took it upon herself to push the job on to someone else. I am not a complainer when it comes to food. There are very few times I have built up the courage and the rage to go back, toss the burger in the face and demand them to fix it. I would either do that, or this. This simple job was not an easy task. Oh, no. It was brain surgery. Maybe the sadly excuse of a meal was in my fault. I mean, I didn’t write down how I wanted it cooked. Simple instructions.

  1. Butter the bun and grill it.
  2. Cook two pieces of bacon.
  3. Cook burger. Don’t burn it.
  4. Add two pieces of cheese.
  5. Lettuce and tomato.
  6. Put in basket.

Hm..six steps. Easy right? Alcoholics have twice as many steps and they complete them with no problems. I wait patiently for my meal. I gaze at my watch a few times. Surely they didn’t forget me. Maybe there were busy, maybe they had to slaughter the cow, maybe they were arguing over who will get to cook it for me. Whatever the issue, you people are taking far too long to cook a simple burger. Ten minutes is all it takes. No fifteen, not twenty. No exaggerating. I grew three new hairs on my chin before it came out. So the sorry excuse for a burger comes out to me. Let’s check the steps again. Let’s see how well they did.

  1. butter the bun and grill it.
    • nope. just grilled. no butter.
  2. cook two pieces of bacon.
    • one correct so far. Here’s a cookie.
  3. cook burger. don’t burn it.
    • Oh, they cooked it alright. The NHL called, they want to know if I can spare my hockey puck.
  4. two pieces of cheese.
    • OoO..two right! Kudos.
  5. lettuce and tomato
    • Damn you! Were we out? Look up. There is a stockpile of tomatoes and lettuce in front of you. It’s called a produce department. Check it out sometime.
  6. put in basket.
    • A plate, a basket. They all look the same.

I finish my meal and on my return, I am asked how was it. “Horrible! Did you forget about it? It was burnt.” She defends herself, stating that she didn’t cook it. I was under the impression when I left to sit down, that you were going to cook it. You raised holy hell when I wouldn’t let you, then I do, and then you push the job on to someone else. I don’t think so. If you saw the sad looking burger, you will understand why I choose to cook my own burgers. I know how I like my burgers.

The burger, although it wasn’t to my liking, was the same thing I get. Same cheese, same toppings, same bun. It’s not just at work, it’s everywhere.

Burger King: Whopper with cheese (no onion/no pickle), onion rings.

Popeye’s: Three piece meal (mild/dark meat), mashed potatoes, biscuit

McDonald’s: 20 piece chicken nugget (2 BBQ, 2 Sweet/Sour sauces)

Ming Garden: General Chicken, Steamed Rice (soda in place of eggroll)

Subway: Cold Cut Combo (foot long on white) (lettuce, tomato, salt/pepper, vinegar/oil)

Bob Evans: Farmer’s Choice (over easy eggs, bacon, pancakes, toast-in place of home fries)

There is one exception to the rule. I visit one establishment frequently. Well, I use to. I like to get a  Deluxe Philly Steak (green peppers/onions). If a certain employee is there, I get suckered into getting a Creamy Chicken Wrap (lettuce, tomato, no onions)

If you saw the stats for January, you’ll know that I visit those places far too often. I visited Subway on, 01/09/10. I was ready to get my normal meal.

Me: Foot long cold cut, on white.

Her: Were out of white.

Me: What?

Her: Sorry. We have Monterrey Cheddar instead. It’s on white bread.

Me: (cries) I guess.

Ruined. A sandwich I love so much was ruined. It has been my sandwich there forever. I’ve been eating that sandwich longer than Jared’s been a corporate tool. My streak was broken when I asked my sister to pick me up a sandwich. Was it my ever so, amazing Cold Cut Combo? No. It was the wretched, Subway Club. Eff you, sister! You killed a little bit of me inside doing to me. They are not the same! It’s like if I lost something and I asked for another set of eyes. You bring me Helen Keller.

But with all my petty demands, my SSDD style of eating, I switched it up. No lie. I did. It was just yesterday. I went to Burger King. I stared at the menu for a bit. I even do this when I go out to places I already know what I want. I stuck with the Whopper but I went large this time! I went for the double. Maybe God got pissed at me for doing that or maybe just bad luck on my part. I ordered my food and asked,

No lettuce and no onions, please.

She taps on this big sign right next to the register. You don’t have to be a whoe. You could have just told me. The sign states that, “due to a global shortage of tomatoes, we are out. We only accept the highest quality of tomatoes. Sorry for effin’ up your day, Kirk. Maybe next time you should stick to the same crap you always get. Ain’t that a kick in the scrotum? Even when i try to be different, I get screwed royally.

In conclusion, don’t try anything new. You’ll just get roshamboed. Don’t go Bruce Banner on me if I don’t ask you to cook my food. Don’t change my order either. And if I order something, it better be what I ordered. I’m not the only one that gets angry. See for yourself.

January Stats – Part II: Food

Ah, food. It has to be my greatest downfall. It seems that I wouldn’t. I mean, I have a site called, “I Don’t Eat That”. Yes. I hate a lot of food. Yes, I don’t eat certain items. But that doesn’t mean I hate all food. I may be a picky eater but I manage. I don’t go hungry. My diet isn’t the best. I eat plenty of fast food and greasy things. I snack too. I am a sucker for donuts and cookies. I have a pretty rough idea of the food I ate this past month. But this will give me at least some idea of what I eat more than anything. Maybe I can change my diet. (ha!)

I had a long list of places I would go to for lunch. As the years went on and as my taste buds decided to bid some of those a fond farewell, my establishments became very limited. Take the popular(?), Taco Bell for example. I am going to say it has been about 6 years since I actually ate there. Wait, no. I did have it about two years ago. Not by choice though. I was with some friends and they all seem to like that craptastic food. I didn’t want to be a whoe and ask to be driven around to a place I prefer. I sucked it up and ate the damn tacos. Without sounding gross, and by all means, there is no way I can make this sound any better. I had some serious ED! It’ was brutal. Save a tree, don’t eat Taco Bell.

I have crossed Taco Bell off my list. I have crossed off a favorite Chinese place I loved after my friend found a hair in his food. Sucked too. It was his first time going there. It was probably my 50th. Who knows how much hair I have eaten already. Maybe enough to send off to Locks of Love. So, that place is done. I found a new place. Not the best food but I like Chinese food.

I don’t eat at a certain Popeye’s anymore. One day, I bought a delicious three piece meal. Dark meat, please. I got home and sat down to enjoy my three piece dark meat meal. Double You Tea Eff!? All white! Those bastards. I asked for dark meat. They even repeated it to me. You’d think they would get it right. No. No, they didn’t. I am not one to complain. I usually suck it up and eat it. I went back to get my order fixed. Instead of pitching my food, the a-hole behind the counter put it back in the bin. Right back up there to serve to the next unsuspecting customer. Needless to say, I called their corporate office. They found nothing on the camera. But I know what I saw. I have not gone back to that store. I still eat at Popeye’s but not that one. Who knows. Maybe they all do it. Until I see them do it, I’ll keep eating there. What mama don’t know…

After some horror stories about Pizza Hut, I don’t order from them anymore. Guy I work with told me about the dirtiness, the things people did to food, the whole Dominos pizza crap we all watched on Youtube in disgust.   He might not be the most reliable source. He might be all talk. But he said it, so I’m going with it. I should be careful. One day I might not any places to go to.

I wrote out everything I ate and tallied it up. I really don’t eat that much. It’s a lot of the same things, just over and over.  I do have lunch five days a week at work. I don’t care for our pizza anymore. I don’t eat the salad bar. Remember? I hate, HATE salad! I like fruit but I want real food. It’s usually Chinese, Burgers, or a sandwich for lunch. I’ll switch it up and get something else. But I am a predicable person.

I covered drinks already. Now it is time to cover food. Sit back and enjoy!

Maybe I can eat other things. Maybe I can cut back on the snacking, the coffee, the soda, or less fried items. Not saying I will. Hell, tomorrow I can forget all this and eat the same exact things. Thanks for reading this and look below for photos. I like to take photos of some of the food I eat. It serves no purpose. Enjoy!

I was determined to blog tonight. Plans changed. But with the push from a friend, I’ll do my best to blog.

Kirk: i was gonna blog tonight too…
Drinking Buddy: you can still blog
Drinking Buddy: plenty of time
Drinking Buddy: plus the booze will make your blog funnier

You don’t have to twist my arm. I’ll blog. Yes. I have been drinking. It’s a normal thing I do on my day off. People at work just assume this is all I do. I don’t shower. I don’t eat. I don’t sleep. From the moment I get home, I down a bottle, then another, and then another. I drink them to the point of drunkenness.  That’s just a fabrication. I don’t stop when I am drunk. I do drink a lot. Is it bad? Maybe. But I stay inside. I don’t go out driving. At least I don’t anymore. Shit is expensive.

I have been keeping a log of the crap I eat and drink. You’ll see the log in a few days. I like soda. I always have. I usually have at least 2 at work. My morning usually starts out with a coffee. It could be an expensive “Starbucks” coffee, or a cheap coffee from work. I don’t think Starbucks is that expensive. I mean, spending $2.15 or $2.14 (real starbucks) on a coffee is crazy but I do it. I like it. My brother raises hell about it. “You gotta get your rich mans coffee?” I am trying to cut back. His ‘rich man’ comment isn’t the reason. It’s cause I know now how much I drink. It’s effin’ crazy.

I might get a juice throughout the day. That usually tides me over till lunch. Lunch has always been a coke. If I was to think about it, I can get a rough idea of the amount of cokes I have drank at work. Not including refills or the coke I might get on my way out the door. I am talking about the coke I get at break. I have had this job for 15 years. I am sure when I first started  I didnt’ work 5 days a week. But give or take the days I came in on my days off or the extra days I have pulled, I’ll say an average of 5 days a week. In 15 years, I have had at least 3,900 20 oz. cups of soda. Yes, soda. Not cola. Not pop. Eff the people that say those. It’s soda. Even if I go out somewhere and asked for a drink, I’ll say coke.  They might serve pepsi, but coke is easier to say. Deal.

Almost 4,000 cups of soda!? Insane! And that’s just coke. I am not a fan of any other. Scratch that. I will drink Pepsi. I like either. They are the same shit to me. Pepsi is a bit sweeter. But in a challenge, i’ll take coke. It taste better out of the can.

I don’t care for much of the other brands. I like diet pepsi. Why? Reasons are still unknown. I’ve tried diet coke and I hate it. I’ll drink Sprite. I’ll only drink it if my stomach hurts and I feel sick. I am sick about once a year. So I have maybe one sprite a year. I like root beer. Not from the fountain. Not from a can. Not even from the 1 liter container. I like it in a frosted mug, poured from the tap. Something about it that way, makes it perfect.

I don’t like Mr. Pibb. I don’t like Vault. I don’t like Dr. Pepper. No Mountain Dew. No Crush. Just coke. Now, I do like cherry coke. I would drink that all the time in high school. I’ll have it here and there but my drink is coke.

I can go on and explain my whole straw reasoning but that can wait. I’ll save that for another story.
