Dinner Plans? (14 Viewers)

[FordPickup92]

Never thought of food as being a bad thing, but then again food is just something I really enjoy.

I enjoy food also, but I have a bad problem with over eating and self control when it comes to foods lol hence constant dieting and a hob that required excessive calorie intake so I can eat like a heifer lol some people can eat food and it's nothing more to them than that because they dont get enjoyment from it...scary I know

Is @Señor Tony shredding for stereo?

I actually try to do similar meal prep as much as I can.

The meal prep has helped free up so much time in the first 18 months of having my daughter. Get that freezer stacked before yours arrives man!

Moderation is definitely the key. Anything in excess can be a vice. Even chipping

That's good advice. I usually prep for a couple of meals at a time, but I've not thought to freeze them. Maybe I'll give that a try as a test run.

I'm still in the process of ridding myself of the dad bod, the last thing I want is to get it back again when I actually am a dad lol

A few weeks after your baby arrives your official dad bod licence should arrive in the mail so you will be all sweet man, don't sweat it!

Recently I was knocked out three times in the first 90 minutes when I hosted. Thank god it was a cash game lol...........

As always, your food looks phenomenal.

I'm due to visit my father in Alabama again. You and @Ben need to host another meet in the next year or so!

The food was unbelievable. Eating steak with a plastic fork and knife? Not even one utensil broken, thanks to a 29.5 hour slow cook in the sous vide, followed up with a 30 minute smoke, then a blowtorch sear.

Many went home with empty pockets, none went home with an empty belly.

The biscuits put the Red Lobster cheesy biscuits to shame. Choco-balls in the green container were Nutter-Butter balls, the other ones were Oreo balls. Sooooo good, we basically demanded he make them again for the classic.

You guys start diet season early! I don't start shedding my winter coat until at least middle/late spring

It's good, but not oh my goodness lives up to the hype good. It's still just a chicken sandwich. Flavor is good, it's a bit more crunchy than Chik-fil-A and also less salty which I do like a lot. I got the spicy version and it's a mild tingle at most.

So you also believe desserts should be their own food group? A meal isn't complete without dessert.

Well of course!

Dessert is imperative.

The smart thing to do is to downsize it.

I know, the very concept of a single scoop of ice cream, or a wedge of cake that my (ex)father-in-law would call a "Joke slice" is absurd. However, proper serving ware does wonders. A small bowl...

...is more than enough for a single scoop if ice cream, if you are using a Demitasse Spoon. They also make demitasse forks for cake or pies.

If you did dinner right, you shouldn't be craving a 1/8 wedge of pie or a whole pint of Haagen Daz. There simply shouldn't be room. That doesn't mean that the sweet tooth, oe a bright finish to the meal should be ignored. Just don't grab a shovel and jam in into your skull.

Put simply, which is better, one had of poker at $100 a hand, or 100 hands of poker at $1 per hand?

Savor life. Food is life.
