The Last Day of Supper

28 Mar



What did you have for dinner? We had enchiladas (they were good too)–but enchiladas is not what comes to mind when you ask us what our last supper would be. So that’s it, the question is simple-

What would your Last Supper be? An innocent conversation somehow turned completely chubby and we decided that one final meal was  not enough and we needed an entire day to fulfill our fat food fantasies.

Choose your own adventure.

JP:

BREAKFAST: I want an omelete, with green things and some bacon– with a little bit of cheese on top. Oh, and then I want maple pork sausage-links not patties. I need a biscuit ( I do believe that a  biscuit is in everyones perfect breakfast) And some fruit. (CB Note: Oh, now she wants some fruit)

The perfect bisquit

LUNCH: Lunch is simple, it’s so simple, yet it’s IMPOSSIBLE to find in Washington, DC. A New York deli turkey club sandwich. It’s the most delicious thing you have ever tasted. I think thats all I want. Yep, thats lunch.

DINNER: None other than the chicken finger. I have had a chicken finger in Atlanta.  I have had a chicken finger in Denver. I even have had a chicken finger in Australia!  I love chicken fingers. I want two types (1) the tradition chicken fingers, with honey mustard and barbecue sauce ( thank you) and (2) spicy buffalo chicken tenders, with a side of the blue cheese (please and thank you). And Isckabible’s fries ( from Philadelphia) with a couple of ketchup packets.

DESSERT: This dessert is an original, Key Lime Cheesecake. With no crust, just the cheesecake.  And then… a float. And not any regular float- like no coke, no root beer. Just orange sherbert and sprite, there is nothing else to say.

CB:

BREAKFAST: My champion breakfast would be Jimmy Dean hot sausage patties. Scrambled eggs with cheese, home fries (A little burned) with ketchup. Three pieces of wheat toast with strawberry jelly (strawberry preferred).  Fried apples and a mimosa. (JP note: When did drinks get added?)

LUNCH: There’s a place in Pittsburgh called Tessaro’s and they serve NY strip steaks with onions, blue cheese, mushrooms and 2 delicious pieces of bread. Homecut french fries with ketchup and malt vinegar mixed together- with an orange slice. The drink, not an actual orange slice.

DINNER: The mother of all the meals. I would like to have (JP Note: She tried to add an appetizer) seafood fondue from Pappadeaux’s Restaurant with the french bread and Crawfish Etouffee ( JP Note:  No. She just added an appetizer).

Seafood Fondue! (not an appetizer)

 

DESSERT: A slice of the triple tuxedo chocolate cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory- and then I die of cardiac arrest.

JP & CB Drink Pairings:

(CB & JP Note: After Carmen brought up mimosas, we decided we also wanted to have a last day of summer drink menu as well)

  • Breakfast: Mimosa
  • Lunch: Margarita w/salt rimmed glass
  • Dinner: Manhattan
  • Dessert: Mind Eraser. or Bailey’s with coffee (Decaf)

Mind Eraser: Don't forget the straw

This was a really invigorating conversation for us- it was freeing. If you’re feeling bored or low at work today, we think this is a pretty good conversation to have. Tell us your favorite Last Supper.

Curvy Tip of the Week: Breast to Impress

18 Mar

Everybody loves a titty-men, women…even babies. And everybody loves springtime. Do you know why? Because there is more titty. Your bustling bosoms come out of hiding from those itchy sweaters to show off your goods. However, life is not a strip club, and we must remain calm and figure out the appropriate titty for the appropriate look.

 

a hott mess

a mess: you look like a crazy ass hot mess

A MESS: This isn’t right on so many levels. From the untrained eye, this looks appropriate. However, her breast to body ratio is un-proportional.

The Fix: She needs more support. Plain and simple. All she needs to do is tighten the straps.

 

WILD

WILD: I mean, does she have on a bra? Why is this wild? Because they are roaming free. Absolutely NOT. They do look beautiful and probably smell like cocoa butter. But that doesn’t make it okay.

The Fix: Strap em down. Big breasted women must wear good supporting bras. We suggest going to a Lane Bryant Store and getting your breast fit for the correct size bra– visit http://www.lanebryant.com to find a store near you.

 

Showing off your other assets

OTHER ASSETS: It doesn’t have to be all titty all the time.

Why we like it: She looks great, and she doesn’t have to show her bosoms to do it with this dress.  She could have totally showed off her breast, but she didn’t. She is showing off her amazing legs, and sometimes thats all you need.

 

WORK

WORK: It is tempting to show more breast at work. Not only is it tempting, it is also luring. It’s like 50′s pin-up, Mad Men, bombshell, but your at work– and you cannot do that.

Why this works: She is showing just a glance and she has on a necklace  that accentuates her breast, but she is not showing everything. Sometimes all you  need is some accessories, and let the rest be left to imagination.

 

Hey girl!

HEY GIRL: This is your classic happy hour titty. You might get a free drink with this cleavage. When attending after work functions, you can show a little more cleavage, but you never know who your going to run into…

Why this works: The color choice is great. She found a color that sets her apart from other women in the room. Her breasts are definitely supported, but the cleavage looks natural.

 

Find me in the club

IN THE CLUB: If you are going to show this much boob, it can’t be at the family reunion- it has to be at the club. Can you stop staring?  We think it’s okay to show your breasts in the club, but there is a fine line between being sexy and hoochie. (see above)

Why it works: The dress fits her chest very well, and she is not popping out of her top. The V neck line accentuates her chest in all the right places. And she looks like she smells like cocoa butter.

Final Words: We have been all of these women before, and sometimes, we even break the rules. We are not trying to condemn or judge. We are trying to share lessons learned. It is important as a curvy woman to feel proud of your body, and have the power over your presentation and image. You can show off your best assets without going too far.

Final tip: Use cocoa butter.
