seriously, why do some people need to tell you every single ingredient on the plate of every member of their party the night after they all went out to a restaurant? it's not that interesting!!!

I'll have what she's having

Some people are way too into food. I don't get it either.

By some people you really mean women.

i'm all for a nice dinner.

but breaking it down like it's a science project takes away the enjoyment, ya know?

and NOBODY care's what your co-worker's friends' wife ordered at that little place in the north end on saturday.

As opposed to this thread?

i wasn't even thinking in those terms but you are absolutely 99.9% correct.



that other .1% is "the gays."

i almost put that in parentheses in my original post but i figured if i didn't i'd get at least one reply saying exactly that.

...lAST night I had SHEPARDS PIE with cayenne pepper and chedder cheese mashed potatoes....

dude i'm STARVING right now and that sounds good.

what did your husband have?

this.

There's a bunch of hens in my office when do this constantly. Most of them need to put down the plate and join a gym or two.

same here and the sad part is i work in health care!!!

I don't understand the appeal of the Food Network either. It's just food, people!

Although I could go for some of what Brixx had.

Me either. I like cooking on the grill or something different, but people get all animated like it's the most exciting thing they did all week. I don't get it.

I like food food is good

last night I had turkey soup with a side of fucking turkey

this has to stop soon!

Why have you been talking to my mother?

I had the final bowl of Turkey Soup '09 for breakfast and it was still dee friggin licious. FOODDDDD!!!! HELL YES!

North End place? Well of course it's being discussed in detail! It's Italian.

when i had cable i loved food network, cause many of the shows had few & simple ingredients i'd never have thought of doing, or that gave me more ideas... plus they had all those watchable-in-spite-of- themselves people like rachael ray, who i'd never wanna meet but was such a total fucking cheeseball i couldn't look away... on the other hand, some of my most (i thought) intelligent FB friends ONLY EVER updated w/what they were cooking that day, to the point most of them went on Hide... even worse were the comments: "mmm, sounds good." oh just shut the fuck up, already.

Really, people going on and on about any mundane thing (a meal, a movie, an unexceptional vacation, etc. etc.) they've recently experienced makes my eyes cross.

Okay. Great. You enjoyed that. I don't need to hear every little fucking related detail so shut the fuck up.

And it's invariably pretty stupid people that do this. People without the brains/self awareness to realize that when someone they've been talking at for ten minutes hasn't/has barely responded, there's just zero interest there and it's time to shut it.

I generally look at it like this:

Boring people talk about other people, mediocre people talk about events, interesting people talk about ideas.

Now, you can't be fascinating every fuckin' second, but discussing what you have for every meal.... it's almost as mind numbing as those people who always wanted talk about real estate. It's like a dull grown up version of fantasy football or some shit.

i totally fall into this category just by starting this thread.

When I used to go the the Back Bay BSC, without fail, half of the chicks on the treadmill/stairmaster were watching Giada. There's definitely a psychological issue with a woman who is exercising off the calories while watching an anorexic broad cook food.

I dunno about anorexic.



More like "scary-faced" with a perfect body. you don't have tits like this ^^ when you're anorexic.

True. Nice b00bz! I still wouldn't eat anything she cooked. Never trust a skinny chef.

I have witnessed a group of women who are all on Weight Watchers spend
a good 20 minutes talking about what foods they could eat, which ones were better than
others - and then talk about when their "cheat" days were going to be.

I didn't hold out a lot of hope for their success.

I do this shit with d00dz. Cooking rules.

I'm a big fan of Giada, and can watch her while I'm working out. Though cooking shows are not what I prefer to watch on the treadmill. The one show that will make me not think of eating at all is Ina Garten the Barefoot Contessa. I'm sure she is a great cook but to see her on that show all soft and rolly polly with that big billow shirt is just so not good.

My wife and I used to watch Nigella, I can't remember any recipe's but....


BONE-APPA-TITS!

I love her. Did you see her on Top Chef? She and Padma were served breakfast in bed.

Chick at work is always telling me she cooked this or that. Then she always offers to give me the recipe.

"Can you grill it?"

"No."

"Then it's of no use to me, thank you."

No but I'm gonna spend a lot of time thinking about that.

I bet her kids call her Mammy.

Food is one of life's greatest pleasures!! Speaking of food... Have you ever attended some pish posh dinner party…and just left motherf****ng famished? Well last night, the PMS’ing moo pig Twelve Twenty did… in an epic way.

Almost bit off Husby’s head on the ride home. (How the f*ck are you possibly friends with people who eat so health-i-ly?? so or-gan-ic-ally?).

To appease my monster-belly (and equivalent crank-i-tude), we stopped for some good ol’ trusty salty pizza.

Trust me, I love a well cooked meal, I just don't think about it much before
or after eating it.

As to your question, one of my pet peeves is going to a party which goes through dinner time
where only hors d'ouevres are served. I want some real food!

Danny V never fails to amuse. He has almost an OCD about shit that makes other people happy or shit they find joy in. Awesome.

I love:

- 100 Asians pouring onto the Red Line at once
- Indian food
- Talking about Indian food
- Watching someone eat three day old Indian food with their mouth open on the Red Line
- Greek food, especially the way it looks and smells
- Martin Doyle
- Johnny Angel
- The friend zone
- Taking the Internet and all Noise Board discussions very seriously
- Any and all products made by Apple, including Steve Jobs' brown "jobs"

and oh so much more.

I heard this, bra!
