Photo Phriday: Our Unhealthy Eating Plan
May 21, 2010 at 8:18 am | Posted in Photo Phriday | 4 CommentsTags: diet, dieting, Dining Out in Boston, Drive Through Diet, healthy food, KFC, Taco Bell, You Smell Like Lunch
When my bloggier half and I began our “healthy eating plan” (aka diet) back in February, we made a fairly egregious rookie mistake. It is almost embarrassing to admit this, but here goes: in our early dieting days, April and I decided to focus on fresh foods – fruits, veggies, whole grains and lean meats. Now, three months later, we are realizing how foolish that was, and how often we needlessly transformed into Mrs. Hoofington as a result.
You see, Andrew stumbled upon a new and, apparently, highly effective plan in a KFC/Taco Bell eatery. Waiting in line to order his favorite extra crispy chicken, biscuits, mashed potatoes, gravy and coleslaw, Andrew saw these signs and, like any good gumshoe, raced back to share his discovery of the “Drive Thru Diet.”
"Christine" lost weight at Taco Bell. Jerk.
Yes, it’s true: “Christine” lost 54 lbs. eating at fast food joints. And not only that, she lost the extra poundage without even having to expend enough calories to walk from the parking lot to the counter to place her order! She remained seated on her shrinking keister and simply rolled her car to the “drive-thru” area to obtain sustenance.
Aaaah, the wonders of modern science and fast food eateries!
I’ll take a gordita and a smaller pant size, please.

Think you’ve seen and heard everything there is to see and hear about my long, lonely commute? Guess again… There’s a McDonald’s in North Station that is, apparently, banned from actually serving anything. Check this out:
Apparently this McDonald's serves... nothing...?
So what, dear reader(s), do you think is on their menu?

Apparently you, dear reader(s), receive fewer off-color remarks than we do! And I suppose that makes you lucky… but only to a point! Granted, you may not have had the pleasure of hearing that you pull off a W.T. outfit far better than expected, or receiving inappropriate congratulations on the decreasing size of your rump, but as a result, you couldn’t win our fabulous prize!
And so, without further ado…the winner of our insults contest is… (drum roll please)…
Mary Ellen and her shocking “do!”
Mary Ellen is a mommy blogger extraordinaire and, despite her gram-gram’s delightful observation, great at avoiding sticking her fingers in light sockets!
Congratulations, Mary Ellen! Send us your snail mail address and we will send a fab prize your way faster than an electrical current travels through Jell-O!

Say What?!? It’s Contest Time!

Don’t ask me why, but earlier this week we discovered that the heat was on in our office – it was 68 degrees outside, and 82 inside. Oy! As I said to April, I was shvitzing like a chazzer! Anyway, when one of our colleagues returned from a lunch meeting, he announced that the office “smelled like someone’s lunch.” That brought me back to some funny times visiting my grandma…
In every nursing home, there’s always a feisty ol’ biddy who may have lost her youth but whose tongue is sharp as ever. In my grandma’s home, said biddy had two favorite insults for fellow residents: “You smell like lunch,” and “Your children look adopted.” Every time I heard her skewer another resident with one of those barbs, I felt badly for them, but also had to hold in a chuckle.
"Seinfeld" gave us some great zingers... This wasn't one of them.
And then I started thinking about other funny insults that have been lobbed around. For example, someone once informed my co-blogger that she “looked like a smoker.” Ummm… I have no idea what to make of that, and neither did April! For those of you who have yet to be graced by her presence, I can assure you that April does not smell like an ashtray, has well-colored (not yellow) teeth, and is not sporting the distinctive wrinkle-mustache that some smokers get from constant puffing
As for me, the strangest insult zinged my way was probably a couple summers ago when an older woman (who shall remain nameless) informed me that I was “the whitest white girl” she had ever seen. Mind you, the woman addressing me was also caucasian… But she was convinced that I was practically translucent, and felt the need to inform the world of this fact. How do you respond to that? Thanks for noticing? Shush, you old bag?
And that brings me to today’s Factinis & Factomelettes contest… What is the strangest/funniest insult you’ve ever received? Bonus points for witty come-backs (even if you just wish you had said them but couldn’t get ’em out at the time). Contest runs through Friday at 3 p.m. when we will announce our winner, chosen solely at our discretion, who shall be awarded a fabulous prize.
Bring it, dear reader(s)…
