Damn man, what are you waiting for, GO EAT, do it now! :D


No seriously, something in/around the 30's seems to mean slower metabolisms in most people. All those bad eating habits of previous years can catch up.
I used to be one of those "could eat whatever" types. Now I have consequences to that. It sucks. I hate self-control. :p

I hear you. I made it to 34 before that started happening.
 
I'd drop the carrots and add in some leeks, plus a bit of stuffing if chicken is the meat in question.

There you have it – the dinner of champions.

Boring!!


I'd much rather have a nice selection of Lebanese or Mexican food than a dull roast dinner...

Unfortunately a true part of life. :(

Same here.

As they say, there are two types of people; those who eat to live and those who live to eat. I definitely fall in the later category.

As for the consequences, I just tell folks my chest slipped or fell down. :p
 
So worst case scenario: I'll be like rdowns when I'm 34?

Come on. We all know it just goes to your boobs. :p That's why e always encourages you to eat more rich curries.


And a bit off-topic, but when my girlfriend gained 3 kg, she said her boobs got bigger. At around the same time, I also started to suffer from really mild carpel tunnel. Coincidence?

Her slowing metabolism is going to be sha-weeeeet.

That's called Problem/Resolution. :D Made me think of that scene in Bruce Almighty, where Jim Carrey squirts ketchup all over his breakfast. "Biggerrrrr....?"

I thought it went straight to dem legs..
 
Thanks for reminding me...
:(
<pats the seat beside me> The 30's isn't so bad, it's the age I learned to stop caring so much about what people think and learned to appreciate the value of what *I* want. :) ...but it did come with a bigger ass. :D

Same here, but I married your stereotypical british man and my dinners have gotten a lot more bland. I did turn him onto Fajitas and Chicken Tikka Masala (to start) though. WIN! :D

They so don't need to be bigger, but yeah, it all goes to the T & A cause. :eek:

*high five*
 
This may sound silly, but my ideal dinner is one with my family, no matter what we're eating (within reason, of course).

I often eat breakfast or lunch alone, but I really don't like eating dinner alone. It's prime conversation time!

I agree, 30's ok. But in only a few short years and it's 40 for me... I wonder what that'll bring.
A fat head probably...:eek:

So you are making some headway in the food area then?
:)

Mmm fajitas. Thank god there is a plethora of good Mexican food restaurants in Southern California. I think you just decided on my lunch for tomorrow.

A bigger sense of not caring. :D

And yes, slowly but surely the englishman is becoming more adventurous* with food.

*word used lightly :D

You cannot beat the Mexican food in So Cal. :)

I'd kill to have a Baja Fresh open in London. Ultimo Burrito with chicken FTW!

(do you know this stupid "British english" spell-check doesn't even recognize "burrito"? THAT is how clueless Britain is about Mexican food. :p)

There's a Burrito stall, of sorts, in Exmouth Market, Islington each lunch time.
It's small and basic, but bloody lovely.

The London office is just up from there, so when I'm there I have a big fat beefy burrito...
Mmmmmmm



EDIT: Damn!! I've made myself hungry! I should drag my ass out of bed I suppose...
 
^ How bizarre. Maybe so! :dogeyes:

Next time work sends you over that way, let me know. Maybe we can catch a burrito together. :D (why is that last sentence so amusing? catch a burrito... aaaaaanywaaaaay...)

Didn't you say awhile ago that e can now join in at Indian restaurants without starving, or were you simply referring to a new ability to eat spicy foods without whinging?

I ordered chicken tikka masala one night and he actually liked it, so we've found one dish he can eat when we're all out on a curry night. :D Since then we've had it several times. I am most pleased. I won't hold my breath on spicy dishes. Leave the Vindaloos to me. NOM!
 
My ideal dinner would be the rat from this thread. There's nothing like a BBQ rat sandwich!

As others have mentioned, ideal dinner: with friends or partners, lightly baked. ;)

Food would probably be Italian or Middle-Eastern. Wine is compulsory. Dessert? Optional.

Memorable meals have included: waist-deep in water while flyfishing for trout at dusk, wrapping a fresh catch with butter in tons of wet newspaper and throwing it on the fire for an hour or so... washed down with a river-cooled beer.
 
Some kind of Chinese food with a Pepsi and a 17 inch matte 3.06 GHz unibody MacBook Pro + 30 inch LED matte Cinema Display for entertainment.
