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

Turns out there’s still 1/2 a roast duck from Costco in the fridge, so I’m going to treat myself to that today. Will order tomorrow if I still want it.

It is if the person paying for it doesn’t give a crap about strength :joy:

Fixed it for ya.

Full concur.

In a similar vein to my “I don;t share food” confession - I always offer to buy separate food at a restaurant as I also eat a lot. Like a lot. I’ll order a few sides or even double up on starters. Something with protein if I can. There were times I would cost 150% the cost of the normal person for food. And then as I like a beer I can run up a hell of a tab. If can easy cost twice the average.

Confession - I’m back to eating 5 eggs and 400g of mince a day before diner. I always feel aggrieved when I return to this. Its a “diet” that works to keep me leaner and build mass. And I’m not hungry.
I never know why I stop (I do I’m very lazy).

My son–6’5" and 240#–is a hearty eater as well. He told me of once stopping for dinner at a restaurant during a cross-country drive. After he finished placing his order, the waitress looked at him and asked, “Are you serious?”

What’s “mince”?

In the states as well - that is some thing.

I was in Vegus in 2016. And I used to order the large breakfast from the diner. 2 pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausages and hashed potato. But I used to give 1/2 of it away. When it says “eggs” it means 4-5 eggs. When it says “bacon” it means 3-4 rashers. Everything is big.

Minced beef. Or ground beef.

Oh, hamburger! Got it

I legit just eat a meal before and after going out so I can eat a reasonable amount with company.

Wait! What???

Vegas back in the 90s was awesome. The trucker breakfast was… a ham steak, 2 sausage patties or links, 3 slices of bacon, 3 eggs, hashbrowns, grits, 3 biscuits or toàst, or both if you wanted them. All for .99 cents.

Good times!

My wife is not keen on this idea. Apparently its “weird” To which point I like to point out I am weird. So I’ll do weird stuff.

Vegas in 2016 was EXPENSIVE for food. We were out there to see a wedding from people that went out there in 2012. They told us it was cheap for food as well. No idea what changed but - but the all you can eat places were about twice as expensive.

It’s where I spent my childhood. Now, when I go to a crappy buffet somewhere, I start getting nostalgic.

My ex husband would NOT eat off a buffet. We usually frequented sit down restaurants. Back then the food was the calling card as you probably know. (This was early 90s.) Things started changing by the late 90s. Last time I was out there in 2005 food was expensive as @carlbm has stated.

No more King 8 :sob: They tore it down to build some shitty touristy crap.

We always stayed off strip. Spent a LOT of time at the Nugget and the Aladdin back when it existed. My white trash roots run deep, haha.

Love Vegas, and hate gambling.
Weird, huh?
I mean, gambling is fun, but I hate losing.
And I mostly lose.
Oh well

Been to Vegas once. We were very impressed by the quality of the food and service–consistently excellent from restaurant to restaurant. But cheap it wasn’t.

This!

I always preferred Laughlin and Reno over Vegas anyway.
