    A slimmer verison of CP

    As a reminder for all of you guys attempting to do this, slimming down is a marathon, not a sprint. Conservative calorie deficits are more beneficial than just eating the bare minimum. Example, if you normally ate 3,000 calories a day, try cutting that down to somewhere between 2,400 to 2,600...

    Scotch for a bourbon lover?

    I'm more of a scotch person, however I do dabble in bourbon here and there. Of the few scotches I've had, I have to say The Balvenie Double Wood is the most similar to bourbon (primarily Pappy Van Winkle imo) in terms of texture, viscosity, and flavour.

    NYC Area Monthly Meet Up

    Hope you like Malaysian food. Roti Canai and Crispy fried intestines, and even sting ray wrapped in lotus leaf!!! Man, I'm excited. For you newbies going to one of these, the Matador is a great venue for it, very spacious and liberal, although the owner might have his own unsettling quirks...

    NYC Area Monthly Meet Up

    Sorry guys, while I do like the environment that the Matador provides, the logistics are just counter productive to my work week schedule. I'll see those of you who will be at Florio's next Wednesday, unless I get hungry, then I'm at Nonya's next door for some Malaysian food :thumbs: ... and...

    Bacon Explosion!

    Definitely going to have to try this when the weather gets warmer. I'm thinking of maybe adding some sort of amaretto to the sausage for a twist. There are just so many variations I want to try, such as an extra layer of mashed potatoes on top of the sausage, or pepperoni slices instead of...

    Philadelphia Eagles!

    Oh man, there are only two teams I'm most afraid of in the NFC playoffs... The Panthers and the Eagles. Next Sunday should be a good nail biter. Go Giants!!

    Banking question: Credit Scoring

    Ask your bank if they offer a secured line of credit for your checking account. It might be worded differently but the product is just a line of credit backed by your savings account, and they freeze a portion of the funds as collateral. You can also try to get a personal savings loan...

    I am in dietary hell....

    Beans are your best friend at this point, especially black beans. They are high in protein and fiber, both of which help to keep you feeling full, especially the former. If your family is going total vegan, I'd suggest cutting out all forms of pasta as well and get your carbohydrates from the...

    Bringing back an old American Icon... the cowboy boot!

    I went to the Western Warehouse website, and it seems they've become part of the Boot Barn family. Nice selection of boots at decent prices. But I'm looking for something with a little more durability than the regular production boot, and didn't have the coin for a custom made boot, so I did a...

    Bringing back an old American Icon... the cowboy boot!

    Ok, so I've been on the hunt for cowboy boots for over the past two years, but living in NYC has made it somewhat difficult to see if I actually like them. Been fortunate enough to run across a store with a pair of Justin Lizards in my size, bought them, wore them, broke them in, and fell in...

    NYC Area Monthly Meet Up

    Most likely fried. They might have the soup dumplings, but I highly doubt the dumpling house has a Shanghai style background. Sounds good.

    NYC Area Monthly Meet Up

    Any one feel like meeting up early for some late afternoon dumplings from the dumpling shop up the block on Grand St? I'm thinking 4ish. $2 for 8 dumplings, and boy do I love dumplings.
