July 2011 - Healthy or Unhealthy lunches?

July 21, 2011. Warm, sunny day. The adult subject is eating pureed sweet potatoes.

July 5, 2011: Hotdogs are slowly being re-integrated into the daily meal. Hotdog, mac-n-cheese and flax seeds provide the perfect nutritional complement.

July 20, 2011: 4 sweet potatoes for one lunch!

A stick of butter, an apple and several old bags of bread top off this meal. We can't tell if this is a healthy or unhealthy lunch.

Showing that these foods can be eaten together or alone as a meal, we see a combination of sweet potato and mac-n-cheese.

Will the subject eat 5 year old blueberries?

From the subject: "It's only "better" if used by 06. Doesn't say for how long it is "good". I would not call that expired per se."

And as you can see, there are no regulations for what the blueberries will be eaten with. As always, anything goes!

TRENDING: Corn on the cob

May 10, 2011: Vertical cob with lunch in a cream puffs container.


June 3, 2011: Horizontal cob laying atop spaghetti and broccoli.


June 7, 2011: 2 cobs as a bed for a slice of pizza.

Salsa con queso anyone?








Please note the wear marks that prove the jar is in fact very old (2008!). We believe this destroys Subject's argument that the jar is fairly new and the expiration date is written in the European style.



There is definitely a glow about this cheese sauce.

Supi is back in business!

In an unconventional move, the subject provided fodder from the recent family camping trip:

Quote from subject:

"Subject located at Ricketts Glen State Park, PA campground, wearing a Palmyra Cougars t-shirt. Lunch consists of: full-strength Pepsi, some leaves of baby spinach for nutrition, bread that’s high in fiber, Parkay low-cholesterol spread, Heinz ketchup, hotdogs fried on a 2-flame Coleman camping grill. There were probably other components but the Subject doesn’t remember.

Lunch involving hotdogs can be made nutritious using healthy sides. "

Competition is brewing to see who is going to move into the original subject's spotlight. In the running we have...

Contender 1:

This little bottle of MSG made its way into the office after being tucked in the back of a kitchen cabinet.

One taste-tester remarked with a glint in his eye: "MSG makes salt taste so one dimensional." in addition: "it has so many tastes wrapped into one."

Q: "Are there any natural foods that contain MSG?" The answer: Doritos.

Contender 2:


During an afternoon lull, a half eaten sweet potato was noticed dreamingly sitting one cubicle over.
We were shoo'd away quickly, but I snuck a couple photos in.

Vote: Whose lunches do you want to see more of? Contender 1 or Contender 2.

I don't know what's on the middle plate.

Photo suggests two slices of bread - 1 slice approximately 25mm thick, the other slice barely visible - perhaps 3mm thick?

Right before a big game of tennis, an athlete must nourish himself.

Mac-n-cheese.

Rice.

Pasta sauce.

Pretzels from that place in the mall.

Option A.

Option B.

Option C.

Option D.

Option E.

Option F.

Let's start today's meal with a full plate. Going around the plate we see: 12 o'clock: Asparagus 01:30: A few peas 03:00: More aparagus 06:00: 8 macaroni and cheese noodles 06-12:00: Chicken Noodles in the middle.

The chicken was brought in a separate container than the rest of the meal.

The subject did not know what this red blob was on the piece of chicken.

He, of course, ate it anyway and was suprised to find that bite had a rather large bone in it.

To show the subject is no savage - he does not eat bones or the tough stalks of asparagus spears.

Another variation on pizza: Pizza covered in RedHot Sauce.

What is in the Jansport?

A large green tupperware, homemade yogurt and an apple.

Getting a clear view of the bottom of the container there appears to be several sandwiches and some chicken.

Sandwiches are of the 3 year old almond butter variety.

Well, even though the subject is working in another building, he manages to bring his supi-food to this building anyway!

A slice of cheese pizza, a homemade yogurt and half-eaten apple. The eating style reflects that the elements of this lunch are not eaten separately. We were all sold on the amazing flavors of yogurt and pizza in the mouth TOGETHER. What's in the Jansport? A "rubbermaid" container with a sandwich.

And an orange lidded container with something that looks like a pheasant inside.

Thursday, March 31, 2011 - Take 2!

The last native supibrot! A few more images from Thursday came my way.

The full lunch spread: 2 sandwiches, a quart of cottage cheese and an un-identifiable pasta ensemble.

Note the teeth marks where the dog ate the side of this container.

Could this be the final supibrot! post since the subject has a new job in another building??? Comment 1: From an email at 4:52pm: "Three year old Sunflower butter on homemade bread." * * Comment 2: From an email at 4:53pm: "Correction: 3-year old, un-refrigerated sunflower butter." * * Comment 3 (from subject): From an email 04/01/2011 at 11:06am: "Correction on yesterday's food: This was not sunflower butter but almond butter. I checked, there is no expiration date on the jar so at 3 years it's probably getting just right. If left out for long enough (such as, 3 years), it separates cleanly into solid matter and oil which is approved to be used as motor oil in a Prius. "

Upon preparing for a multi-week trip abroad, the subject tries to clear the refrigerator of all perishable items.

Warning: Sometimes perishable food has already perished, despite being stored in a refrigerator.

Start with a pan.

Spray with PAM, for health benefits.

Take eight slightly expired eggs (approximately 1 month expired - see note at end of post)

Put in pan.

Rummage around the fridge, pull out first thing you find - in this case - baby portabellas.

The next steps are really hazy, but when the subject regained consciousness, copious amounts of broccoli and beans were in the pan too!


This doesn't explain how the food all turned red. Well, in the green tupperware, there was already a small slice of lasagna and between the dump onto the plate and mircrowaving, it all mixed together creating what you see above.



More on expired eggs, from our resident food expert:


"This is from the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service website which is the most respectable sounding website I could find.

"What Does It Mean When an Egg Floats in Water?An egg can float in water when its air cell has enlarged sufficiently to keep it buoyant. This means the egg is old, but it may be perfectly safe to use. Crack the egg into a bowl and examine it for an off-odor or unusual appearance before deciding to use or discard it. A spoiled egg will have an unpleasant odor when you break open the shell, either when raw or cooked. "
http://www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/focus_on_shell_eggs/#32

Another website I looked at explained it further, saying that the moisture evaporates over time and is replaced by air which made sense, I think. Too bad there is no more ClampFix Focus Room, would have been a fact of the day."

Have you eaten something recently that you shouldn't have? The subject will be out for approximately 3 weeks and we need some guest posts!
