Helen Makes A Thing: Breakfast Burrito Edition

Ok, ok, so it’s 2pm, “breakfast” whatever, I do what I want! Heheh
Yummy scrambled eggs and cheddar/jack cheese mixture, salt & pepper, rolled up in a whole wheat burrito. With OJ. On a gorgeous Sunday. Looking at a pink dogwood tree in full bloom.

Lol it would be perfect, if it weren’t for my loudmouth Cuban neighbor’s cologne wafting in here when the wind blows this way. (Yes, THAT’S how much cologne he is doused in. I was wondering what those 55-gallon drums in his backyard were filled with.)

Cravings

I would do unspeakable things for some boneless buffalo wings and bleu cheese right now. Unspeakable things. Or pretty much any fried savory delicacy, so long as it’s not fish - (I can’t stand seafood) I’m not in a sweets kinda mood, but that’s all that’s in my room currently. Looks like I got myself a real First World Problem on my hands, huh.

Bruegger’s Bagels in upstate New York currently holds the record for the World’s Biggest Bagel. Imagine how many pounds of lox and cream cheese you’d need to dress it properly. 
This awesome bagel weighed 868 pounds and required 1,100 pounds of dough, 900 gallons of water, and 10 hours of baking time. It was prepared at the New York State Fair on August 27, 2004 and was sliced and served to onlookers, who were encouraged to make a donation that would benefit local area food banks.
[via The Wondrous and Wikipedia]

…
Don’t worry, guys, I did the math!
The average plain bagel = 140 grams ( 0.308647 pounds)
                                      = 300 calories (with NO toppings)
                                      = 56 g carbs
Most bagel experts agree that eating one delicious bagel is like eating 5 slices of bread (but I consciously block that out when I eat a bagel  - Ha!)
Sooooo, the gargantuan bagel pictured above, weighing 868 pounds (or 393,718 grams) is the equivalent of:
 2,812 plain bagels, = 14,060 slices of bread,  = 843,600 calories and contains 157,472 grams carbohydrates.
You might want to hit that elliptical trainer afterwards. Or the nearest ER
Bon Appétit!

Artist Casey Weldon created this awesome painting, entitled Beefcake, for Sweet Hot Mess, a group show curated by Rudy Fig and Katie Carpenter for the Cult Status Gallery in Minneapolis. Contributing artists were asked to create pieces based on sweets, after which bakers were asked to created actual sweets based on those pieces of art. What a great concept!

Casey’s painting of a cake made of meat was inspired by the cake paintings of Wayne Thiebaud. Even the sides of the painting are marbled like a good steak should be.

Visit Casey Weldon’s blog to view the amazing edible creation that a baker named Lynne created to accompany the painting.

Beefcake prints are available here.
