I asked Alexa, and she replied that drinking three liters of room-temperature water would burn 15-20 calories, while the same amount of ice water would burn closer to 150. She said she'd be happy to debate you on it if you have Alexa Plus.

If you pour ice water on yourself your body should burn calories also as it tries to maintain your temp.

I assume that’s the idea behind drinking it.

Way out of line.

Took me 10 seconds to try and figure out why you suspended EB. And 5 more seconds to disagree. Lighten up. Cut his suspension to one day. In the back and forth history of EB and BR antagonizing each other this is pretty mild.

Took wifey out for pizza. Her request. I had my espresso martini to start…. I always have them substitute extra Bailey’s for Kahlua. Lowers the overall sugar content. I don’t mind it bitter.
Eggplant Rollatini appetizer was excellent. Eggplant was soft but not slimy.
Wife orders veggie pizza. She wants no peppers or mushrooms…. So my side has double those items.

(Since EB is suspended I won’t get chastised for the martini!)

Is Bailey's really much less sugar than Kahlua?

I'll at least consider the clemency.

Please don't. Repeat offender just can't help himself.

Bailey's has about 20 grams of sugar per 100 ml, about 7 grams per 30 gram serving. Kahlua about 40 grams per 100 ml, about 12 grams per 30 ml serving. Maybe it's enough to make a difference by switching. Or maybe not.

Is it true that if you post something totally suspendable, but it also made the admin laugh, the admin has to serve the suspension with you?

Unless you are drinking a couple of pitchers a day, I think you are safe drinking whichever you prefer. Few drinks contain more than three ounces of alcohol, and people don't normally chain drink them.

I'm from Long Island, the home of the real L.l.IT. My personal record was five in a sitting, although I only rermember the first four.
When I moved upstate in 1979 for school, I couldn't believe what was passed of as LI Ice Teas.

It's been about six weeks since I switched to Rao's pasta, which has two ingredients and is bronze cut. It makes for a better dish when you first cook it, but you have to treat the leftovers differently. Regular store-bought pasta leftovers fry up well in olive oil. The noodles carmelize and are almost crunchy if cooked right. The bronze-cut pasta absorbs the oil and doesn't carmelize. I'm beginning to think I'd rather use pasta that fried up better, especially when it is half the price.
Rao's sauces, on the other hand, are worth every penny of their very premium prices.

I only drink one thing now. I take one cup of lime juice and mix it with a 1.75-liter bottle of rum. Drink it straight up out of a glass. It's called a rum sour. I have two drinks a day, about four to five ounces total. 1.5 ounces is the official amount that's considered a drink. Having owned a free-pouring bar our drinks were closer to two ounces.

Now try that with Yukon Jack, and that concoction is called a Snakebite. It's quite good, the whiskey in the Jack gives it a bolder flavor than the rum.

I don't think that I have ever tried a rum sour. I do like a good whiskey sour but have not tried it with other alcohol. I drink so little now that it is almost shocking considering that I used to drink 8 to 10 drinks a day. Moving to Florida has helped as I do not have many friends that drink regularly. I am probably down to 2 to 4 drinks a month now.

If you order a "rum sour" at a bar, I expect what you'll get is something more like a daiquiri.
2 measures rum
1 measure simple syrup
1/2 measure lemon juice
1/2 measure lime juice

(the last 3 ingredients would be "sour mix", prepared freshly. A daiquiri would be 1 measure of lime juice, omit lemon.)
May the cards fall in your favor.

Publix now sells large containers of Panera soups. Wife won’t eat soup out of a can anymore. Got her the tomato, and me the broccoli cheddar. It was great microwaved. Perfect consistency. Lots of broccoli. I added garlic/parmesan croutons which matched perfectly. Probably the rest for dinner tonight. I’ll be broiling some Nathan’s hot dogs to insure I get enough salt in my diet.

In medical school 40+ years ago I was able to take a ‘renal’ elective with ‘the guy who wrote the book’. Literally. Anyway, he started asking us a question…. How much salt do you excrete in a day? We gave answers in grams, ounces, teaspoons…. He said the answer is…..

‘As much as you took in’…..

Unless you are Lot a healthy man neither accumulates or loses salt. But of course TEMPORARILY things can change. Especially in certain disease states. Which is why it’s generally recommended to limit sodium intake.

I guess he didn't need a wife, given what his daughters did. Ugh.
