What did you eat today?
Quote: DRichQuote: Dieter
All of my friends set out to live fast and die young.
Two of us were unsuccessful, as we lacked the acquired taste for hard drugs.
I haven't seen, spoken with, or communicated with a single friend of mine from childhood or High School in 39 years. I am guessing that many are dead, some are rich and some are poor.

My high school has a class reunion picnic every year and I go sometimes. You aren't missing anything.

You are right again. Why would anyone want to go to YOUR HS class reunions??

How disappointed you must be..
link to original post
Not really.
Many of "my friends" took my ex's side in the divorce, and we lost touch.
Many people I knew in school were never "my friends".
There is no need for me to go to a reunion to waste my time with people I didn't and don't care about.

They're not my reunions, they're the class reunions. They get about 90 to 110 people to show up every summer. I went last summer and it was super boring and it's really a downer to see how old everybody is. I look at least 10 years younger than I am or so I'm told by just about everybody, so I'm doubting I'll ever even go again.

I meant how disappointed you must be that you didn't die young. You had a goal is that you did not achieve it. My goal was always to do well and live as long as possible. I'm 75 so I feel like I'm at least part way there on the age thing.

Hopefully your health will continue to be good and you last many more years. I will be very disappointed if I live to 75.

My 40 year reunion was this year. I was not invited as I have not kept in touch with anyone of them for 39 years. I also have not been back to my hometown in 39 years.

It won't be the first time I was wrong about death. I was given my "last rights" in 1980 and somehow I beat the odds. I was also convinced I would die on January 22nd 1990 and obviously I was wrong about that one too.

Dying young is obviously out of your reach now, you're only a couple years away from Social Security. You can start collecting at 62. I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed and will have to go through the trials and tribulations of getting old. My advice is get more cats.

Smoked sausage & egg on a biscuit.
A nice buttery biscuit sandwich is nothing to scoff at, even if it does come from the gas station.
Unlike so many places that bring in the same (awful) frozen biscuit sandwiches and microwave them to death, this place makes the biscuits in house, and seems to do a pretty good job of not salting the heck out of everything.
A pleasant al fresco breakfast.

Who doesn't like bacon. I've never met a person in my life who doesn't like bacon. Elvis even liked bacon on his fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I don't eat bacon anymore but I love it.

Roadside barbecue stand (is there any other kind?), pulled pork sandwich, fries, coleslaw.
The pulled pork here is excellent, smokey and juicy.
The fries are perfectly crisp, and pleasantly seasoned with the rub they use on the meat.
Coleslaw is crisp and flavorful, without swimming in dressing.
The sweet sauce is exquisite.
The hot sauce is good, but had too much clash between the molasses and pepper for me to douse the sandwich in it.
Obviously, since this fine establishment offers a cash discount, I paid cash.

I am jealous. I consider myself a BBQ snob but I refuse to put BBQ sauce on it.
I'll try it without, and then if the sauces seem ok (this is what fries are for, yes?), I'll try a few drops on the next bit of sandwich.
Too many places sauce the pulled pork before serving. Just slap it on the toasted roll and let me worry about sauces.
Could have used a crunchy pickle, but MUCH better than the last place I stopped for barbecue.

No it doesn't. You're just confused because it didn't come in a plastic container with the picture on the outside that you can finish eating in five or six bites and think you're getting a great deal.
most of the people in the world are expecting to eat at least 3 times per day
that means hundreds of millions of pounds of food has to be processed every single day
animals slaughtered, delivered, placed on shelves, bought and prepared
it's really quite amazing when you think about it

Soups generally don’t ‘look’ great. Bob’s picture is pretty standard for a home made, full of good stuff, soup. I tend to like eggplant but for whatever reason don’t recall it being in many soups.

I know most people eat two to three meals per day but I personally could not imagine eating more than one meal a day. One meal seems to fill me up for the whole day/ I have been eating around 3pm and that lasts me for 24 hours. I do snack on jerky, chips, or nuts regularly before bed.
I think that I am different than most because I really don't know what it means to be hungry. Really, I don't know what someone is experiencing when they say they are hungry. I generally eat out of boredom not because I am feeling any different.

And many snacks before you ate your meal. When I was growing up there was no snacks, you didn't eat it between meals. There was nothing to snack on. If you were lucky and you begged hard enough they would give you a cookie. Maybe. There was no snack aisle in the grocery store and if there was one it would have had potato chips and Fritos and some pretzels and that's about it. A snack is just a meal by a different name. Eating is eating.

Not today, I have eaten nothing but Cheerios. I did eat a lot of Cheerios this morning, three bowls I believe, so I haven't needed to snack today. I have had a bag of pistachios sitting on my nightstand for three days and amazingly haven't had any.
Quote: billryanApache fry bread slathered with Irish butter and just a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg. Tens of thousands will converge this weekend for various meat-inspired activities at the Meat Tucson festival, and many pop-up restaurants will set up for the weekend. There is even an authentic NY hot dog vendor selling dirty water Sabretts for the unfriendly price of $6.50 a pop.

I have still never had fry bread. My wife raves about it and I knew a guy in Vegas who had a Fry Bread food truck.

I never heard of it until I moved to Arizona. It can be hit or miss, but the food truck I get mine from has an excellent reputation, and it is all they sell.
Brisket sandwich, fries, mushrooms (and a diet cola).
The brisket is intensely smokey.
Plain fries this time, crisp, but not as salty as the spiced fries from last week.
The mushroom breading was not crisp, and they needed a dash of salt.
The provided ranch dressing for the mushrooms was lackluster - excessively tangy. One of the house barbecue sauces was a better match.
I wanted some variety. Onion rings were not available (a good thing, if the mushroom batter is any indication), and I wasn't in the mood for fried okra (which I can't stand if the breading isn't crisp).
This brisket would be excellent with macaroni & cheese. I know they do a pulled pork mac & cheese, and apparently also offer smoked sausage, turkey, or brisket.

If it's any consolation, I'm not supposed to.
Eating it anyway is one of the small perks of not letting myself worry much about an early grave from congestive heart failure.
You might be able to smoke your own brisket, but I think a lack of salt would be a detriment. The salty/smokey/rendered fat combination really makes the beef pop.
