Let's Review . . .

My diet over the past twenty-four hours:

1. Friday Morning Breakfast

Large cafe latte. Brewed at home with my trusty Tassimo machine. One-third milk; one-third half-and-half; one-third espresso. Breakfast of champions, I tell you.

2. Friday Lunch

Five pieces of chocolate that I appropriated from Judge Borden's clerk, Lynn.

3. Friday Dinner

Beer and cigarettes. Too many beers; too many cigarettes (I'm trying to quit smoking, but the beer makes it difficult)(I'm trying to quit drinking, but the cigarettes make it difficult).

(Actually, that was at the Peoria Oktoberfest, not last night - but the thought remains the same.)

(Yeah, nor was that last night - but the thought remains the same. The Usual Suspects, from left: The Great Howenski, My Girl, The Usual Suspect)

4. Friday Late-Night Snack

Nacho Cheese Doritos (Dude!), Lay's Potato chips, one bite of an uncooked Pop-Tart (frosted strawberry, naturally). More beer.

5. Breakfast This Morning

More Doritos (Nacho Cheese, of course, Dude), a McDonald's Sausage and Egg Biscuit with Hash Brown. Two large cafe lattes. No more beer, mercifully.

Of course, I should have gone to Hardee's for something like this:

Or perhaps, turn on the deep-fryer for something a bit more respectable:

Richard Simmons would be so proud.

OMG! The Scottish eggs! They are great at a tailgate party! Make them ahead and wrap in foil and heat on the grill! They really go good with beer! Yeah!
Good Luck with your diet...cut out the food and just smoke and drink! Works for me!

Just remember there is a pork chop in every can of beer and boy do I enjoy those pork chops!

Scottish Egg. So, that's what that "thing" is? After researching online, it sounds really good. Here's a how-to make them post. But, I'd fry, not bake, them. I'll have to give it a shot.

Mmmm . . . pork chops. Must have many pork chops.

A Tassimo machine sounds great! How much do you spend a month on those T discs though? I might even consider shifting some wealth over from the pork chop fund. Scottish eggs, hmmm. I might give those a shot. Thanks for the link!

Jimi, they're actually pretty reasonable. I get the Gevalia espresso at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, which costs $7.99 for 16 discs. The Signature Crema coffee is the same price. Here's a list of prices. The Tassimo was one of our best purchases in a long time -- well, other than guitars and microphones, of course.

I usually get two packs of espresso a month, and Linda gets another two of a different variety. So, perhaps $35 per month. Well, BBandB also has discount coupons . . . so, perhaps not even that much.

Plus, you don't end up wasting a whole pot, if you only need one or two cups.

Of course, the way I drink it, you'd need to buy a lot of milk and cream. And don't forget the sweetener. However, they also sell convenient cappuccino and latte discs (one milk/cream disk, one espresso disc) in packs of 10 servings. Not bad, if you crave that kind of coffee.

Lunch today - pork chop sandwich from the Willie's Tamale cart in front of UFS. To die for!

If you are going to make the Scotish eggs, I suggest cutting the hard boiled egg in half otherwise they are humongous! I deep fry mine and drain them on paper towels. I also use hot Italian saugage. Mmmm...makes me want to tailgate in my driveway today!

After reading this post, I can feel my arteries hardening. Good job.

Hey Reno~ Hardening of the arteries isn't such a bad thing!

You need to harden your arteries to contain the high blood pressure.
