Nata’s are my favorite Portuguese pastry

In that case, go to China and experience the magic of a good Cantonese egg tart

I’d assume they’re similar? I know a shit ton of egg yolk are used for the Nata custard - even know the history behind it like the good little Portugee I am

It’s overrated in the sense that no quasi-fast food chain should really have a cult following, but their marketing and social media is top-notch.

Food-wise I think it’s basically exactly what you’d expect, no? It’s chicken and sides. No muss, no fuss.

Edit: I do have a lot of time for their sauces tbf.

I’m a Calvinist…flame free!

You’re gonna get the flames you’re gonna get no matter what!

[alex_uk]

Haha, tis providence!

literally a Chinese knockoff, but with a far flakier crust
The cantonese ones are far superior than the Shanhainese knock off or a knock off

Well… that’s for the pretty ones. My face is quite the turn off so I pair it with frumpy clothing and call it a built in personal safety mechanism

I’ll bet your physique is enviable. And I wouldn’t say that your face is a turn-off. Everyone is a turn-off to somebody. Some of the hottest guys out there are disgusted by stereotypical Western female models. That’s definitely the standard you’re trying to compare to, but it’s not helpful. Different backgrounds/ethnicities are beautiful too! Seriously. Trust me on this one, okay?

Best Portuguese themed food is Nando’s

I had nandos a couple of times, and I must say it’s magical.
I thought it was the best until I asked my Portuguese PE teachers what he thought. he scoffed and told me to get out- i hate travel, but I might just have to take a trip there… for science…

Nando’s is actually a South African chain - started in the south of Joburg where there’s a big Portuguese expat community. But they’re really big in the UK now - in fact, it’s pretty much a cult at this point.

I get that in one sense it’s just another food chain brand, but the food is really good (and healthy). Also, their house red is Spier merlot, which is an excellent South African red, and is really competitively priced. What’s not to like??

What’s you’re ejection fraction if I may ask?

I dunno. It was about >60 before cardiac rehab, and now it’s probably a lot better. At my 9 month checkup after compiling the results of the tests, doc said I’m in Really good shape.

@theBeth

Besides if you have high blood pressure that’s the only other reason to control your sodium intake.

It’s typically about 60/70, sometimes lower. Sometimes a couple of nurses have said “Whoa. I’m gonna get a different cuff to make sure that’s right.” like mid 50’s/60 ish.

But that’s with meds and sodium restricted. Doc did say we’ll talk about reducing meds at my next visit in October.

I just follow docs orders. My plan didn’t work out too good, but this guy is like a wizard level cardiologist.

I’ve seen her log photos. She’s got a tight little bod that she rips on for no reason.

I suspect her face is great, too. She just lacks confidence.

Anna, if your face is truly bad (which, again I doubt), you can do what my sister did: go invest in a pair of boobs that is slightly too large for your thin frame. 90% of the guys (including very normal datable guys) won’t be able to look you in the eyes coupled with a thin figure and nice legs.

Then go buy some tight shirts. You could be Medusa.

That’s horrid, unhealthy, sexist, and flame-worthy advice I just gave you, and you should think less of the male sex for it. But it’s absolutely true.

My sister is very bright, extremely tall and athletic (D1 track scholarship), and face that could stop a clock. She grew her hair long, got giant implants, started to wear short dresses, and suddenly no one noticed her face.

Married a dermatologist white guy – who is very tall, very athletic, and looks like Howdy Doody in the face – I convinced him to grow a beard. Looks much better, too.

Just want to point out in case this goes any further - I believe Anna is still a minor.

[thefourthruffian]

It’s not going anywhere with me, regardless.

Anna, wait until you are 18 to take my horrid sexist advice.

[aldebaran]

Well that’s what I’m doing, never really liked me, so I’m trying to sculpt a nice body! But perhaps I should have sculpted a nice bank account…

[anna_5588]

Haha thanks. You too @liftangryordie500

@caesium32

I believe Anna is still a minor.

I’m 19, bit most ppl assume I’m 12-13

[caesium32]

Sorry I thought you were like 15-16 for some reason.

@aldebaran

But perhaps I should have sculpted a nice bank account…

Aren’t you 25 or something? You still have 50+ years to sculpt one

[aldebaran]

30 in 2 days lol…

But I think I made the right decision. I’ll get money later. Meanwhile, all the gains I make while young will make it easier to grow old and jacked than the other way around

[EmilyQ]

Double-post.

I wear a camisole and spandex under my pants so I don’t have to waste time getting in and out of under clothing when I workout
