Our Weird Eating Habits
This is all you need to know about me and food …
Every day I have my house manager, Hershey — who I stole from the Mercer Hotel with André Balazs’s blessing — wake me up with a hot washcloth for my face, a leg rub, and a plate of toast soldiers.
Then someone always gets chicken potpie and potato salad from D.D., you know, Dean & Deluca. If I can’t afford D.D., I just don’t eat.
One thing from living next to Paris Hilton in L.A. … she always had a fresh cake in her house. So I make sure someone gets a full, fresh new one every day, like marzipan. My house manager tries to put it in the fridge, but I don’t like refrigeration. I know, so Portlandia of me. But I’m sorry, I’m from Portland!
That’s what I eat. Every day. And then I need sugar from 4 a.m. to 5 a.m.
We all have our own weird eating habits. I’ve been eating bacon, arugula, and mango sandwiches with Sriracha lately (sweet and salty with a little bit of heat—I love it). Courtney Love eats $30 chicken pot pies every day, has fresh cakes delivered, and has to wake up in the middle of the night to eat sugar cookies or ice cream. Stars—they’re just like us, etc. [via]
What, in the name of all that is holy, are toast soldiers (which I initially read as “toast sliders”)?
@Saralyn@twitter Crispy sticks of toast!
@Fig. 1 Like…toast just cut into sticks? If so, the fact that this is A Thing (and one to be included as an indulgence alongside one’s morning leg rub) is probably the weirdest decadence listed here!
@Saralyn@twitter It IS actually a thing, though it is a British thing and has been for ages. The ‘soldiers’ are for dipping into soft boiled eggs that are still in their shells.
@LolaLaBalc That makes sense (I love toast & runny egg yolk, just didn’t know it had a name), but there are no soft-boiled eggs mentioned here! It sounds like she just has folks cut up her toast into little strips for giggles.
@Saralyn@twitter Haha, I wouldn’t put it past her…
hahha i love this so much. the fresh cake thing is a crucial barometer of success.
@Logan Sachon What she doesn’t say is what happens to those cakes at the end of the day. Does she eat the whole cake every day? Or just throw it out for a new one?!
Mike Dang! The sandwich sounds delicious. Bacon is the best.
Oh I can so relate. I’m on a three month streak of eating the same salad everyday for lunch. Sometimes I eat it for dinner too. I can’t get enough.
I do this with a lot of foods where I love it and love it and love it and then one day… I just don’t anymore.
Now I understand why she needed to borrow $2.75 million from the Bean’s trust fund.
@Sadie All for cakes that are not for her daughter’s birthday
