Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

I just love research. I cant wait to be able to dedicate 5 years, if not the rest of my life, doing it. My family is privileged enough to afford the opportunity cost of me not working and I’m eternally grateful for that

Well, I confess I know absolutely NOTHING about the war. Busy period, didn’t want distractions.

I confess I neglected direct hammy training for years because they always felt like cramping anytime I did.

I am paying for this with a Double-DOMS multiplier now. This confession is deserving of flames

Consider this: Aldis prices are ⅓ to ½ of Giant Eagle.

I can hardly spend $100.00 at aldi lest I start feeling like I’m spending frivolously, but I cant even get out of Giant Eagle for less than $100. I did once last week on a quick swing through that ended up a bit over $50.00 but prior to that it has been years.

I love Aldi.

Well, the fresh produce often sucks at all the locations in my town. But it is forgivable, even if I am annoyed every once in a while.

Grilled! Especially teriyaki 10/10

Wet- mild buffalo sauce but also still crispy 8/10

Dry- too salty. Even when I wasn’t watching salt. 6/10

Crispy- Nah. Just nah. Needs to be bigger for batter & whatnot.

Wet or dry only.

Thighs and drums are the only parts of chicken that can rightfully see the grill or fryer.

How do I eat them? Grilled, without sauce.

How do I like them? Crispy, with ranch to dip in

I confess I was so busy yesterday, I emptied all my cats’s litter boxes was going to fill the when a work call came in. I only remembered an hour ago. After checking around the house with a UV torchlight, I’m almost thinking of waterboarding every single one of them.

Lucky I found shit that actually works and it’s not a pet product. It’s a fucking $8 enzymatic laundry cleaner but I have to use it in such a high concentration it takes fucking 3 rinses to get it off a NON-POROUS surface.

That’s awesome!

I’ve been looking for a good enzymatic Water Boarding enhancer.

If you try to waterboard the cats will need video of your lacerated body as proof.

Just remember, it’s not “waterboarding” if you use diesel.

I confess that…

Yesterday, for no particular reason, purely because I asked her to, my wife made an 18lb turkey for a big Sunday mid-meal. Similar to Dan John’s “Practice Thanksgiving”. I treated it as such, and had my normal breakfast and then just sort’ve grazed through the day until I got to sit down and eat both drumsticks and a wing.

2 parter there: I ate 2 drumsticks and a wing…ANNNNND I ONLY ate 2 drumsticks and a wing. Should’ve just taken down all the extremities at once. Next time.

Prior to that, my shipment from “Great lowcarb bread company” came in, so I’m confessing to ordering 18 bagles (2 cinnamon variants and one pumpkin spice) and 4 loaves of bread (sourdough, rye, cinnamon and pumpkin spice).

Let’s make that a 2-parter too: I love pumpkin spice. Fight me.

Unless you are @kdjohn. Please don’t fight me. …or @cyclonengineer . Basically, no one that can actually fight.

PRIOR to that, I received my shipment of 6 tubs of cinnamon raisin Nuts n More almond butter spread…

At some point in my life, I stopped spending money on video games and started spending it on food…

Pumpkin spice is great, I am in your corner for this one. (Except that fake pumpkin spice crap Starbucks sells).

Ahh, the inglorious truth of adulthood.

It’s rather fun the parallels. I was 17 playing the latest and greatest games on the latest and greatest systems and eating Taco Bell. Now I’m eating the latest and greatest food cooked on the latest and greatest gadgets and buying the $3 “Grand Old Games” sale products.

I confess that I really want to quit my research project. It’s going nowhere and I found out yesterday that I have to redo a large portion of it…

I also confess that I’m considering going to an art museum with friends tomorrow even though I have a shit tonne of work over break to do that I probably won’t be able to finish
