This sounds like a lot of work. Do you have any pictures to show if it's worth it?

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Agreed. I'd like a photo and I'd like to know how this fits into the weight loss thread.

[pinback]

"A lot of work". Once you have the chicken done, it literally takes five minutes to put together, and then you just wait until it's done.

And the chicken itself? OOOoh, I gotta throw THREE THINGS into a pan and then sit on my fat ass while it boils for an hour and a half. OOOoo, DIFFICULT.

[AArdvark]

Don't you have to learn how to prepare roadkill and grits now that you've moved to the backwoods? I guess not, chiles are available all over these days. But still, culinary expansion.

I'm writing this again, and next to each ingredient and step, I will write the average number of seconds involved. I don't mean how long it takes, I mean how long you have to actually be doing things, or in other words, we'll just see if it's actually "a lot of work". You dicks. Why you gotta make me do this.

What happens now is we start with the yelling and

[Flack]

Pinback, can you figure up the calories?

[pinback]

Pinback, can you figure up the calories?

83562

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

You are now clearly avoiding me.

[pinback]

Yes.

[The Happiness Engine]

Do you have a version that doesn't overcook the everloving shit out of the driest possible cut of meat? I mean, I guess you shred it into sauce but your readers can save time by just swapping out the chicken for a box of chalk at that point.

[pinback]

Do you have a version of yourself that knows anything about cooking?

[Flack]

Pinback, can you figure up the calories?

83562

Well then, that's off the diet. I'm down almost 20 pounds in 4 weeks. I asked MyFitnessPal if I could have 83,562 calories for lunch today and it exploded. So I think that's a no.

[pinback]

TECHNICALLY what you're talking about is KILOCALORIES, so "83562 calories" really means "under 100 calories" the way you're using the word.

(Insert seventeen pages of stories about VAX computing, Pascal, and song quotes.)

TECHNICALLY, there's absolutely no way you slopped a bunch of ingrediants into a dish and then estimated its energy value to 5 significant digits. Though I do like the thought of you meticulously assembling these recipes just to burn them up in your bomb calorimeter right before the delivery guy arrives with your 16" meat lovers.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

Is there a sort of .... Gold Standard towards calories, like there never was for IBM Compatibles?

[Flack]

I think it's a title left unclaimed at this point. I nominate Ben's Famous Green Chile Chicken Enchilasagna.

I would not nominate the grilled chicken salad from the Sports Column across from the 1up in Denver, based on today's lunch. I also would not nominate anything from Casa Bonita, unless we are talking about the gold standard for stomach cramps. Oof.

[Ice Cream Jonsey]

I appreciate you getting the salad for lunch today. I noticed. You're making the effort and we all love you for it.

That salad blew and that's the worst part about watching what you eat: when you DO decide to go out for a meal and it blooooooooooows.

I pretty much get green chile in a bowl every time I go to a new restaurant. Everyone does it really well out here. It's on everything. It's in me.

It's in me, Flack.
