The Fat Pack

We grew up in Chicago, land of the deepest, dishiest pizza and the classic hot dog. We know how to eat, and we like food a whole lot. We also like to travel, resulting in the varied tales of gastronomy presented here. We'll sample the cased meats and beers of Germany and London, the inventive uses of rice in India and China, and even the cuisines of Cincinnati and California. From the most elaborate dinners to the tastiest grocery store sample, anything edible is fair game. -The Fatties

A Day of Picnics, Pedicures, and Pasta

The Spread: pink lemonade, carrots, hummus, various chevres, strawberries, gaucamole, and multi-grain pita chips. oh, and jessica, towels, bathing suits, and sunshine.

Later that day, we decided to make dinner. Harry was there, making his classic crab cake recipe that involves corn and celery and onions and crab meat, pounded all together and rolled in crushed saltine crackers. yummmm.

We made asparagus ravioli with meatless meatballs and pesto. reduced-fat pesto that i actually liked more than regular cuz it wasn't as oily. the meatballs also have like 100% less fat than meaty ones and tasted just like meat. justin tried one and said it was outstanding before we even told him it was completely veg.
