Holy wow blog friends, now this is a deal worth embracing. Charlie’s eating two slices of gourmet pizza and a pint of belgian beer at L’asso for wait for it, ONLY 6 dollars! Put down your Whole Foods dinner tray and go get some!
AND a reader informed us that if you’re in PDX, $5 gets you a whole pie at Nostrana, too!
Money is tight for Tu but this deal is a one way ticket to food poisoning.
Wrap your prosciutto around melons not cheese balls
More food combos we love to hate here, especially the AZN-fuzion sandwich from Massachusetts: a combination of minced pork, celery, onion and bean sprouts, topped with gravy and deep-fried noodles and slapped between a hamburger bun. YELLOW HEAVEN!1
Charlie’s eaten a pound of tuna salad with onions –probably wasn’t best idea before his job interview. His breath may be a bit too offensive for the corporate atmosphere.
Charlie’s favorite bio-wine Grüner Veltliner 2004 is back in stock in NYC–it’s been out since Hillary won the New Hampshire primary, make sure to pick it up before it goes off the shelves uber fast at Chelsea Market. MAJOR.
Charlie loves bacon and hamburgers; but the idea that former Ms. Satanic Verses, Padma Lakshmi actually consumes fast food with the same gusto as her ideal meal of lettuce with ice cubes smacks of FRAUD. Why do you lie to us Padma?
Charlie yuks it up with this new take on Single Ladies but gives the Yale gurrls a F for attempts at reappropriating negative stereotypes about his people. Major?
Sometimes Charlie feels ‘rexy and doesn’t eat anything for days. Othertimes, he’s like a siberian husky with Valley Fever and needs to eat everything in sight. This recipe is for one of those times:
Charlie’s Fat Balls
(For Massive Weight Gain)
Ingredients:
3lbs. of group chuck, the cheaper and fattier, the better
3 or 4 raw eggs
1 cup of peanut butter (Jif — none of that organic shit)
1/2 cup of Karo syrup
1 cup of wheat germ oatmeal
Directions:
Dump it all into a large bowl and mix it together with your hands.
Form it into balls about the size of a ping-pong ball, and feed up to 10 meatballs per serving.
It’s better served raw to preserve all the fat.
If you feel you must cook it, microwave the meatballs for no more than 30 seconds on paper towels on a plate.
Don’t cook them too long or all the precious fat and calories will seep out.
Whoops! Charlie purchased a bagel for a buck. But immediately after he took a bite, it fell out of his hands, tumbled onto the street and into a puddle. No recovery. FAIL.
It’s the Greatest Depression Ever so Charlie is saving nickels by getting all his calories at free happy hours. Today, he’s bro-ing out at the beer garden in Williamsburg with a container of sauerkraut, french fries and german mustard. Healthy, fresh and affordable: that’s Charlie!!!
Charlie’s too worked up today to Eats. He is listening to Cali Supreme Court arguments to overturn Prop 8 while drinking several cups of Joe. And yes, Ken Starr does suck.
Charlie ate yummy egg rolls and noodles with some AZN friends and ‘white guy’ at a Vietnamese restaurant last nite, instead of going to a tall/thin male model gallery opening.
Oh hai blog friends. Charlie needs to update you on gay zeitgeist and his snack hobby. Tu new obsessions: sesame sticks with Swedish mustard and a fantastic new show on Logo–yes the gay cable channel that tries to be like Bravo, called Rupaul’s Drag Race. Besides its tranny antics and one line ridiculousness, it showcases some AZN pride with a drag queer named Ongina, whom Charlie once knew back in Seattle when Charlie used to be Charleen. ZOMG! It’s true. Check both out when you can.
