We’re having a collision of literal vs. a figure of speech.
I’m goofing with how you phrased that.

Thanks, I don’t worry about age, I genuinely have never cared which is why it was a slightly odd sensation, it’s not like I think that 35 is old, I think it just took me by surprise how quickly the years have gone!
Absolutely intend to!

I added a square of dark (70%) chocolate to my (4 batches of) chili. This darkened the sauce and added a nice flavour which is too subtle to pick flavours but enough to notice something is different.
I feel like some type of culinary genius now (even though I stole the idea)

I am coming to terms with the fact that I will be turning 36 this month and, in turn, am too old to be a character in the original Fallout games, where the cap was 35.
And the primary reason I have this existential crisis is I remember playing the games back when I was too YOUNG to be a character, where the starting age was 16…
But I also confess I did NOT buy myself another 36oz tomahawk grassfed ribeye from Piedmontese last night…even though I could justify it by saying it was for my birthday.
…so if anyone is wondering what to get me for my birthday…

I confess that I just used my corporate card to pay for a Shakeshack feast; I used the justification that we do “Fast Food Friday” as a team-building exercise.
Double cheese Shakemeister, cheese and bacon fries, hard shake (shake with a double-shot of bourbon). I further confess that due to “confusion” I “accidentally” ordered for 10 people instead of 9, so some-one had to eat two burgers and drink two shakes. I bravely accepted responsibility for ensuring there was no wastage.

Costco here (UK) just started stocking “Cowboy” steaks - looks like a tomahawk but with a much shorter bone. They come in packs of 2 which total just over 2kgs, so that’s about 36oz each I think.
I will report back on whether they are as good as tomahawks shortly…

I resumed workouts this week, setting the alarm for earlier rather than trying to somehow squeeze a workout in with limited time. I don’t feel particularly “clicked in,” but hope to soon. I’m glad I’m doing it, and felt really happy about returning my workout room to MY space after having had people all up in it. (Which is just an excuse - the reality is that I completely lost motivation and couldn’t get it back. Still, taking my territory back feels good. I like my fan pointed where I like my fan pointed!)
My confession is that I am motivated almost exclusively by a desire to fit into my corduroy pants. Not to be the best me, not to be healthy and strong, not to be hot AF. Just…my corduroy pants.
(Although I confess that I think I look good in my corduroy pants.)

I confess that one of my biggest fantasies is consuming a crap ton of fast food from my favorite places all at once. I guess it would count as a mukbang.
I mean just imagine eating pizza, burgers, cheesesteaks, fried chicken and subs at the same time. Along with that you have a crap load of sides. Cheesy garlic bread, Mac and cheese, buffalo wings, seasoned fries etc.
Then after that a ton of sweets. Apple pie, cookies, cookie dough ice cream with a lotta cookie dough, cheesecake, tres leches cake, etc.
Same, except for me it’d be a day of gorging on meat:
Breakfast: as much fatty fish as I want- grilled and smoked salmon, pickled herring, salmon head, roasted branzino, oysters,
Lunch: a roast chicken
snack: a platter of canotnese roasts
Dinner: smoked brisket and ribs
Very timely post:
I am currently deciding whether or not to treat myself to a roast chicken because I hit some PRs.
Pros:
- I really really want roast chicken
Cons:
- it costs money and I have plenty of food in the fridge
- have to walk over to buy it and I could spend the time working on research stuff

You ever had ringed seal burgers?
Wow Anna I think you’re more disciplined with food than I am. Roast chicken as a treat? If anything I would imagine fried chicken being a treat since it’s fried.

When I say roast chicken is a treat, I mean that I eat the entire chicken
Aside from the quantity, Nutritionally it’s not really a treat. It’s more of a treat because I’m spending extra money
Fried foods aren’t a treat for me because they don’t agree with my stomach at all, same with pastries or pizza
Hey Anna besides all that meat what do ya like?

eggs, shellfish (idk if that counts as meat), butter, protein bars, very very dark chocolate, honey/honeycomb
I have been eating quite a bit of oatmeal lately, but it’s not really that I enjoy it too much, it’s that it was free, convenient and a somewhat healthy and convenient source of food. I’ve been having at least 1 packet of oatmeal mixed with protein powder pretty much every day.
Sprouted grain bread is also pretty good, but it’s expensive so haven’t had it in a while. I’d love to try low carb bread, but again, it’s expensive
