@ElendilTheTall I'm going back to bed, but I hope to catch you tonight! I'll probably be looking for you right around noon your time. See ya then.

hello @ElendilTheTall

hi

Darn it. I'm just now over feeling crappy. I dodged a bullet yesterday, my juror number wasn't called for today so I could have stayed up all night if I wanted too. I have the sneaking suspicion I won't get so lucky today (for tomorrow). I'll find out at 5. Sorry I missed you @ElendilTheTall.

Hi Tom, quiet day. I'm making a Puerto Rican dinner. Picadillo, black beans and rice, and tostones.

All very traditional.

I've had these recipes in the back of my head for a while, I'm getting started as soon as all of my dishes are done.

cool, cool

hmm, food

jesus it's past 9pm and I haven't eaten yet

I do that all the time. Then I get started eating and people nearby need to protect their limbs.

Ha yeah, I'm the same

A colleague and I were discussing our respective eating habits the other day - he's diabetic and very very skinny but when he's on his insulin he'll happily eat enough to kill a normal person, whereas I'm similar just because I'm a fatass. Our close-to-retirement lady colleague who's very into diets, whole foods, yoga and so on just looked apalled

the suggested portion size on packets of pasta is 75g (dry). I think I use between three and five times that

I always think I'll eat a lot, but I never do (unless I'm starved from not eating all day).
