Oh, we are at the SILLY peak of the night. Everything after this is woe and lamentation.
How YOU doin', CoSo?
Any random questions for me?
@MLClark What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
lol
How are you doing, Torin?
Any recent inspirations to uplift basic cuisine for low-income consumption, a la KD with spices?
Perfect! I've been doing a fried egg sandwich as my daily meal as of late, so this is hitting ALL the right notes. Just got some paprika in on the action today!
Sorry to hear about the flood and all its disarray. Hope that's the last of major seasonal upsets for you for a while. 🤞
@MLClark Thanks! I hope you enjoy them just as much as I do :)
Whoa, does that mean you're only eating one meal a day? If so, not sure how you do it... I would not last very long on that kind of diet, thanks to a lack of body fat and a super-fast metabolism.
Which is part of the reason why I always make sure I have several months of long-shelf-life food (and at least 3 weeks of drinking water) in reserve... otherwise even a short food shortage could be very dangerous for me.
Thanks. Me too!
@MLClark Anyway, I'd best get off to bed... I have work in the morning.
Catch you later - have a great rest of your evening!
OMAD just makes it easier to get "eating" out of the way in one go so I can pack more work into the day.
But it definitely also makes it easy to get tipsy on very little, when I do imbibe.
Sorry to nod off on you there! Have a decent workday, if you can. 👍🏻
@MLClark LOL I think if I tried to eat enough calories for the day in one meal, my stomach would probably rupture.
I need to eat over (sometimes *significantly* over) 3000 calories a day on average just to maintain my weight.
I know some gym bros who do a 2MAD for similar reasons, spaced 4 to 6 hours apart, while others just make sure what they're eating is super energy dense.
But for those in training, OMAD taken after a workout and around 19 hours fasted can help to optimize training benefits via boosted HGH levels, so to each body its own maintenance needs! Glad you know yours.
@MLClark If you fry the toast in the same pan as the eggs using the same oil, the toast will suck up the all the bits of seasoning that came off the eggs when the oil wicks up into it... which ends up flavouring the bread, reducing oil wastage, and eliminating any reason to butter the bread.
The mayo or pesto definitely aren't necessary at all, as the bread usually ends up being plenty flavourful anyway, but they can make a very nice addition.
@IrelandTorin @MLClark African or European toast?
Now you're giving me a hankering for injera!
@MLClark Pretty good, all things considered! Life has been fairly chaotic - my home got flooded a couple weeks ago by a roof leak during a heavy rainstorm, so I had to move - but it could've been a lot worse and (with a fair bit of help) I've just about got it all sorted.
How about you?
Hmm... well, this definitely isn't novel, but hard-fried eggs (add salt, pepper, dill, and paprika) as a sandwich on pan-fried toast, perhaps with a little mayonnaise (or if feeling fancy, pesto) is very tasty!
