Off Topic Part Deux

So the M&J show is on and they are talking about eating/losing weight.

They are talking about salads and they have 3 on display - and she said they had something like 1700 calories each in these salads and people are eating these salads expecting to lose weight - etc.

Well these salads on display - one of them has at least 5 strips of bacon on it and maybe 7 largish pieces of chicken - and they have things like nuts etc. Who would not know that they are going to contain a bunch of calories??

What is the M&J show? I think alot of people assume if it's a "salad" even though it's loaded with meat, cheese, high fat dressing, it must be healthy since it's labeled a salad!

What's the M&J show?

And I know what you mean about people and their salads. They've got a bunch of leafy greens and then they pour on a 1/4 cup of creamy dressing and think they're being healthy. LOL

SNAP!

Oh for pete's sake. I hate when the stupid default is to combine two or more posts in one if you post within a certain window of time.

Hmmm. That was my 3rd post that appended into one. Let's see if this makes it four.

Yep. (five)

Will this never end? (six)

Sheesh. (seven)

I give up. (eight)

Okay, #######?!!!! (NINE)

Oh forget it. (10)

No one knows the M&J show - it's some silly morning show - The morning show with Mike and Juliet.

What the heck? Who dresses Mike? Blue socks? With a green tie? And those shoes with that suit! Did he dress himself in the dark?

[Sprailenes 47]

He's wearing penny loafers with NO PENNIES! WHAT THE HELL!?

E-That sucks!!!! Can't believe he's raising the rent in a recession. Who does that?

I think it's a result of this guy having a $3000.00 mortgage payment a month on this place.. he overbought and didn't have enough money down on his "investment" property.. it has 2 units.. a 2 bedroom and a 4 bedroom.. he wants over 2 grand for the 4 bedroom.... he'll NEVER get that..

If you can afford 2 grand a month, I would think you'd buy a house.

Oh and while a lot of salads now can be bad for you, nuts aren't necessarily bad, esp. in small portions.

That's what we're thinking.. but this is a university town so I think he's hoping for grad students.

No that's true, they are really good for you in small portions.

I know that some people think if you wrap a piece of bacon in a lettuce leaf it makes it a diet item - but these salads were salads like I have never seen - then again I have never seen a salad with 5-6 pieces of bacon on it and 5-6 pieces of chicken and walnuts anddddddd - but maybe that's common

I think it's common in the US! I went to this restaurant called Chickie and Petes, the menu was all fried stuff, I swear there was not ONE healthy item on the menu. So, I decided to order the garden salad, can't go wrong with that right? The salad comes and there are FRIES on top of the salad! Like an entire serving of fries! I had never had a french fry salad in my life.

Salads are one of those things that just taste better if you make it yourself I find.

Me too, I went to the fridge to get some salad, then realized it's too near dinner time
