Dinner of the Day.

Didn't you see the sexy girl in lingerie doing the cooking?

 

[Mr. Tea]

"Drinking like two Edmunds" should definitely become a widely used idiom.

 

[version]

We need to bring this one back. Inject some joy and regularity into the forum. I had brown bread, chicken soup and four spoonfuls of a mango papaya passion fruit Onken biopot.

Nice! I do love a bit of seafood. Last night we had scallops followed by monkfish, both heavy on the galangal, in honour of it being... uh... Wednesday.

Why the dessert first, wektor? I couldn't do that order. Once I eat sweet, I can't go back to savory.

I can't speak for wektor, but some people swear by it when trying to cut down on sweet things and not overeat. Apparently there's something about sweet foods which makes you want to eat so if you eat them first and get fired up then you've got a nice, filling savory meal up next and won't want to eat after that whereas if you go sweet second then you're more likely to go back for more.

I could see eating sweet first as a way to cut down on the amount I eat for dinner, since sweet quells my appetite. It's why appetizers in restaurants are savory and not sweet, as sweet would put people off their entree.

A pizza from Lidl that I pimped up with some extra parmesan and a handful of the vast amount of dried mushrooms I still have left over from last year.

are you a Keto/low-carb guy, HMG?

are you a Keto/low-carb guy, HMG?

he was meat only for a bit but it gave him constipation and scurvey so now he has added avocado and purple sprouting broccoli to his diet.

 

[hmg]

But I never gave up purple sprouting broccoli, it's delicious and bursting with sulphurophane, which, like so many, many things, you will have never heard of.

(Being anything less than a human Nordstream is constipation to the onion and chickpea crew.)

When you're so badly bunged up, the only treatment is to be dynamited by the US Navy.

it was an honest question: are you a keto/low-crab guy?
