I’m the most unhandy guy in the world. My wife just built us a deck. She is talented.

Ohh boyyy… I’d be rich if I got paid every time mum got mad at dad for his lack of “handy” ability

Otoh, our good family friends are the ultimate handy people. The funny thing is that when they work together, they communicate like they’re on a reality tv fixer upper show :joy:

No shit. It gets to the point with my wife where I finally go, “Quick! Call the Red Guards! Tell them to throw me into the *cow pen! See who’s gonna pay for this shit!” lol.

*Commie-era China’s version of gulags.

I confess that, once again, Pat Casey had it right: meatloaf sandwiches are amazing. Also, I confess I’ve taken to a habit of doing all my meal prepping while “Rocko’s Modern Life” plays in the background. I have no idea why that show just puts me in a good mood for that.

Especially with gravy

Since I pack my sandwich about 11 hours before I eat it, that can make the bread dissolve, haha.

You always pack the gravy separately and use it as au jus and just dip the sandwich in it.

Such an approach would absolutely NOT gel with my “speed eat my meal in 2 minutes at my desk” technique, haha.

Why eat so fast?

So I can get back to work. I’ve got like…6 meals I eat over an 8 hour shift. Can’t take a lot of time with them.

If we were supposed to swallow our food whole like reptiles, we wouldn’t have teeth… lol

I understand this approach is definitely working for you, but I don’t understand so many meals?

Rip open lunch box, removes Sammy, throws lunch box across room, grabs small Tupperware container with gravy, rips lid off, tosses top bread slice approximately 6ft in the air (if sitting), aggressively dumps container of gravy onto loaf of meat, throws container at coworker while simultaneously catching previously tossed bread mid air slamming it down onto newly gravied loaf of meat, devours aggressively, growls at co worker and then gets back to work.

Really not seeing how this should slow you down.

I’m trying to gain weight. But thankfully that will be ending soon. I’m excited to get back to something a little closer to normal.

@wanna_be The slowdown will happen with all the time I have to now spend at HR, haha.

I think it needs to be ketchup in a sandwich (with loads of butter). Nothing against gravy but in a sandwich, either it’s going to be too little or.its going to be slop.

And if anyone suggests that the consistency of my gravy is off then dems fighting words and I’ll stab you in your throat.

How many meals do you eat at home?

I spend so little time there I don’t know, haha. I make sure to have the big 3 with the family, I have a late night meal before bed, typically a pre-breakfast before the family wakes up, and if I train that morning I will have a post training meal that is still pre-breakfast. With some snacks in between.

The simpler solution would appear to be workout less…

But that’s none of my business insert Kermit drinking tea meme here

We are all still jealous - that’s what I’m saying.

I’ve discovered ice cream goes really well with Protien shakes.

Jokes on you: Alexander Cortes discovered this in 2012 in the elitefts article “Twelve Steps to Getting Bigger”

  1. Eat Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. Remember, insulin is the most anabolic hormone, and we want it to skyrocket post-workout. Not only is every flavor delicious, I’m positive that the quarts are secretly designed to be post-workout meals with 1000 calories, 100 grams of carbs, 30–40 grams of fat, and some grade A dairy protein. Toss in some protein powder and you have the most delicious weight gainer in existence.
