Middleswarth – I wish I could quit you!

20110529-083031.jpg

Damn! Having committed to a 10lb challenge. That’s a commitment to losing 10 pounds. I have committed to oatmeal, protein shakes, chicken, veggies and egg whites. NOT MIDDLESWARTH CHIPS!!!!

Thank God I can’t get them in Philly.

However, I was in the Poconos with my friend Rob. We went trail biking today. The Poconos are the mother land of these evil, wonderful chips!!!!

So like Jerry Falwell, I come before you, in tears! “I HAVE SINNED, I HAVE SINNED AGAINST YOU!”.

I can’t resist these chips! They lure me in and don’t let go!!!

So…. Like a dirty, sweaty cowboy on Brokeback, i give in and just say….”Ah MIDDLESWARTH, I wish I could quit you!”

Philly Cupcake Warz

Cupcake Warz

Dear Foodiez,

1 Nite.
11 Judges.
6 Bakeries.
18 Cupcakes.

War is hell! And in this case – very fattening!  It may seem like a dream come true – a blind taste test of 18 cupcakes.   Trust – it can become overwhelming after …. about bite number …. 9, it’s at this point one realizes …… wait, I’m only half way through.  Panic begins to set in as you realize, I’m actually getting sick of cupcakes.  LOL~  Then you take a drink of milk, a deep breath and you move on.  You dig in and get the job done!

Ice Cream Warz Winnerz!

War is hell, I’m pretty sure Sherman said that right after he burned Atlanta.  Well, Philly wasn’t on fire, but it sure was hot on July 18th when 4 foodiez gathered to engage in our first annual Philly Ice Cream Warz!  We picked 4 local “icecreameries”  (if it’s not a word, I just made it up!) for the competition.  Just to make sure we were not pulling a surprise attack, we went so far as to send them an advanced notice – no ambush – it’s all good!  Their challenge:   make a banana split, serve it up in a classic style, and let us judge it on 4 categories, Toppings, Ice Cream, Presentation, Creativity.  We facebooked, we tweeted and we emailed all of this to all 4 participants.

Is the suspense killing you?  Want to know, who won?  Keep reading after the JUMP!!! Read More…

Philly Cupcake wins Best Of The Gayborhood

Philly Cupcake Sweet Potato

Dear Foodiez:

Let the record show that Foodrulez.com gave props to the Sweet Potato cupcake last month!

However, this month, they take the cake from Philadelphia Magazine as Best Snack in the Gayborhood!

Philadelphia Magazine stated, “Philly Cupcake is like falling down the rabbit hole. With mannequins. The to-die-for cupcakes (our faves are Twix Dream and The Massacre) and random stuff dipped in chocolate (Swedish fish!) make Wonderland seem boring.”

Personally, I recall High 5′ing Michael the owner when he told me they have a Twix Cupcake!

Way to go Philly Cupcake!  Way to make the gays proud!  Now all you need to come up with is a sugar-free, carb free, fat-free cup cake and all the boys leaving 12th St and Fusion will rush in to grab one.  Lord knows the boys need to keep the abs poppin’
