I know. You’re access to food is greater than mine. since you said you hadn’t tried them, I thought I’d give a brief description

Not really a confession but…
I most likely will have access to a barbell again for two months (58 days more or less)
I know the right thing to do is ease into things but…
I confess I wanna get back as close as possible to where I was before the pandemic and get there as fast I can.
I know I should just stick to 5/3/1 but… any ideas??
Not sure how quickly I can get access to a barbell again after that time frame

Dude, the Gainz Angel’s Share!!! You need to leave a few bits for the Gainz Gods or they will not look favourably upon you…
I share but in my direction lol You may leave a little on your plate and then finish off your kid’s plate. This is science (and the primary benefit of having children.*)
*Also, have kids early so you don’t go 20 years without food that society deems unacceptable for adults. Pretty sure this is the only reason places like McDonald’s exist. My kid tossed that shit aside, plays with the toy and I eat all the junk
Deeeeeeeeeeeeep

Are you supposed to check? How often?
Nonsense. UK food is excellent.
There are more Michelin starred restaurants within the M25 orbital around London than there are in the southern hemisphere (confession: this is an entirely made up “fact”)
I think the UK has benefitted from having rubbish native cuisine, because they have simply annexed the best food from all around the world.
For my birthday 2 years ago I was given a book on the UK’s best restaurants and I was going through the Top 100 in no particular order until Covid intervened, and they are mind-blowingly good.
Number 1 is an Italian place in Bristol, number 3 is Japanese in London… they’ve just stolen and perfected the best from all over the world.
@carlbm Get yourself a Costco membership and a Weber!

I don’t know. Our winter menu is awesome. Stews, casseroles and roasts. And Sheppard’s Pie. It’s a thing of beauty. I love British winter food.
The issue is - we REALLY do our selves no favours with the summer food. Expect for baking. We can do that.
I will agree with this though. The best place in the world for Indian food is Birmingham. Curry Mile. Even where I live there is a massive Sikh community and we have 2 or 3 award winning restaurants in the town centre. If you go to “Little Lebanon” in London there are great restaurants there.
Point proven 
If I’m not mistaken, one of the uks “national dishes” is knockoff Indian
The only time England puts out a decent cricket team or rugby team is when they have at least three or four South Africans in it. They’re the same with food, they need to import the expertise!
At the end of the day though, I think you can eat better in London that just about anywhere in the world other than maybe the Basque country.

I confess that, after 3 tries, I flat out can NOT read “Dinosaur Training” by Brooks Kubrik. And, for context, I read AND enjoyed a good majority of “Atlas Shrugged”. I genuinely don’t get why people like this book. Brooks writes like a dude that had a page requirement to meet for a college paper. This 160+ page “book” could have been a pamphlet.
I confess that, after having discovered piedmontese hot dogs, I am ecstatic to have brought “hot dog night” back into the family dinner rotation.
And that, in true yuppy-scum fashion, I made 2 “California dogs” yesterday, which was a hot dog with a slice of avocado on it. I’m trying to figure out what would have been the most yuppy condiment to put on it. I’m thinking siracha sauce, but am open to suggestions.
I also confess that, I am so nutritionally simple that, whenever I eat ANYTHING, I catch myself saying “I could eat JUST this for the rest of my life”. Things I’ve said that about include quest bars, greek yogurt mixed with naked PB powder, the aforementioned hot dogs, steak and eggs, anything from the Taco Bell menu, etc etc. This may boil down to the fact that, when I turned 18, my mom said she was done cooking and we were on our own. I don’t fault her at all: she had to cook for 3 men for 18+ years, despite the fact that SHE only ever ate 1 meal a day. It taught me to appreciate the finer things.

To be fair, there’s good and bad.
There’s battered fish and chips, and jellied eels, and cockles. But there’s also scallops from Rye, and lobster from Cromer, and oysters from Whitstable.
You’re right about shepherd’s pie, that’s a winner.

I really admire this about the UK. It manage to get others to do what it can’t do itself
Confession: I’m not very well traveled, but my brothers are. They were all in the Navy, and all over the world.
They all have good food stories like from the foods places of origin.
Mine are like “The Dominos pizza in Dallas sucked or I was over the moon to find a real hoagie in so&so Virginia…”.
Kinda jealous of the international cuisine cred.

It’s good, but is it yuppy, haha. I do like that idea though. Better than just sauerkraut
