Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

Beans on toast (preferably sourdough with cheddar cheese, a bit of ketchup, onion, and two fried eggs) is go-to Israeli student poverty food, too.

I think the only difference between England and Israel on that is we’ll do Turkish coffee instead of tea. (Tea works, too, though)

Heinz is the one brand I have true loyalty to.

My neck has been chronically sore for at least the past 5 years. I’ve literally dreamed of having a good adjustment (spend way too much time watching YouTube videos).

I love sour cream ( pretty much no lactose), but IBS and onions do NOT mix

I doubt you will find much actual onion in there. Onion flavouring, sure.

One of my kids was watching an old Sesame St episode with Ed Sheeran on it. Is there a better case study for how fame can make an ugly looking person very desirable to a lot of people.

Fucking expensive ones where I live.

I confess I finally broke one of my training rules and drank something during training

All I can say is, this is weird and you people that do this are wrong.

But since I got up at 0300 to train I figure this was the right call.

When you say you don’t drink during training do you include water in that ??

Yup.

Hat off to you sir. I could run for 2hrs without a drink but like to sip water almost between every set in the gym!! Weird

I am a food snob and at one point would not entertain tomato ketchup or backed beans unless they were Heinz.
This was until I started to shop a Lidl a German discount supermarket. Their stuff is genuinely a fraction of the price of branded stuff.
Backed beans - 80p or 20p
Backed beans and sausages - £1.20 or 30p
Ketchup - 18p for 500ml or £2.20 for 440ml.

At this point I stopped being a snob.

Note: I was on a meal plan and when In Pittsburgh, all free condiments were Heinz- literally unlimited free Heinz

Sounds like Aldi here in the States (also German based).
I get all the foods there I can. Canned vegetables are typically about $0.50 a can, and produce (while you have dig through a bit for good quality) is the cheapest in town.
I stay away from their fresh meats though.

We are lucky in the England, we have Aldi and Lidl. If a town doesn’t have one it often has the other. Only criticism is the dates on meat and fresh veg especially, are pretty rubbish.

Yes, he’s goofy looking, but isn’t the more interesting case study that people believe that success and fame have or should have anything to do with physical attractiveness, regardless of whether the success in an arena that is looks-dependent?

A further case study (though it’s been done thoroughly, so we don’t have to worry ourselves) would be the number of men vs women who can reach that level of fame without being beautiful.

Or wait…do you mean sexually desirable, so the Sesame Street people want to, like, DO IT with Ed Sheeran? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Thanks, Allberg. I think I’m more interested in the neck issues at the moment. Yoga will probably never become a passion of mine, and I think at this point watching the free videos available to me and seeing if they match my wants/needs is the way to decide what I want to do. If these were normal times I might be more interested in finding out about the various types so I could narrow down for in-person classes, but here we are in pandemic world, so it’s me and my mat (which I’ve had for years, just in case) in the living room at lunchtime.

This is interesting, Aldi meat and dairy in the US is good for a really long time. Milk is usually good for almost a month according to expiration date but seems to stay good for almost a week after that. Only thing we’ve gotten from there that goes bad quickly is their bagged chopped kale.
