My colon just turned upside down thinking about this. Enjoy those times, the older you get the less the body enjoys it.

i figure ive only got a few years left of nonsense eating. then i'll prolly switch to some simple, egg+toast+coffee til tombstone
It's very true that all of a sudden you wake up and crave just butter on toast with black coffee, and then that's just like, the best breakfast for years after that. Oh my god I'm becoming my parents
I've given up and have been eating yfood (meal in powder form, EU soylent equivalent) for the last 9 months.
The better option amongst many bad options, is how I rationalize my choice.
I did Soylent for a year or so and have zero regrets. I felt better, lost weight and probably saved some money. I ate it for most meals but would probably make dinner for myself about half the time just for some variety. Hope you have a good experience with it!
This is so funny to me because I'd rather fast than take calories from something like Soylent. I don't think the stuff itself is silly, or that you are- sometimes people are underweight or can't have solid food and any source of extra calories can help. But using it to lose weight, instead of to supplement? Instead of just eating less, but of things you like?
Autistic fella who's very texture sensitive here. Why have I never considered that myself? That sounds heaps handy for giving me healthier meal choices.
Give it a try. There's different brands. I learned that I quite prefer those with milk based protein, and dislike those with pea based protein.
I have a cheese problem. Not sure if it counts as being stuck on it as it has been my entire life. I will eat cheese with peanut butter. Peanut butter Mac in cheese 🤤
my pizza requires 2.5lbs of cheese. i think youd enjoy it
I have always wanted to try Chicago (and Detroit) style. Unfortunately the one time I was in Chicago, my Amtrak layover wasn't long enough to find that many options and I ended up at some vegan place a few blocks away.
i was driving through arizona once and out of the corner of my eye i caught a 'giordanos' sign at a mall.. i couldnt believe it. it turns out the original operators from paris, il (chicago) opened one in paris, az. so weird.
keep your eye out!
If you're a home cook, it's possible to make a very passable Chicago style pizza at home. I've done knock-offs of Giordanos's stuffed spinach and also a standard Lou Malnoti's.
But I'll admit that it's a bit tricky if you don't have that base knowledge of what you're going for.
I think this was the resource I used to back-engineer the crusts. The rest is getting the order of ingredients (cheese on bottom to form a fat shield that protects the crust, toppings, potentially more cheese or another razor thin crust, then red sauce.)
I do cook at home, the bready things I make are with basically corn flour. I have wheat flour, but I don't even know how old it is... A new thing to learn!
im already there, you can see my copycat in this thread its beautiful, and exact.
Deep dish crust has been surprisingly easy to replicate at home, but for the life of me I can't get the sauce and especially the sausage anywhere near where I want it. I swear Lou Malnati's does some outright witchcraft with their sausage. It's so good.
Plus, it's amazing how hard it is to find whole milk mozzarella in some places.

My wife and I really like nachos. Over the summer, we discovered both a new fresh salsa and a new canned cheese sauce that are cheap as hell and that we both really like. I estimate that over the course of two months, we went through over 30 bags of tortilla chips.
thats a lot of eggrolls... but I can relate. Sometimes I decide to grind out a recipe until I am good at making that thing, and will just chow down on that one singular food item for weeks. The last one was sausage & cheese grits, which admittedly I think I mastered really quickly, I just wanted to keep making more of it.
I'll do this, I'll get interested in a new food, way overdo it for awhile, then it makes it into the regular rotation.
Boring grocery store Top Ramen. I add loads of vegetables, and only use half the flavor pack. I've got it down to a science.
Stuck on food items? No...
Just ignore all those screamin' sicilian strombolis in my freezer.
When I find some [reasonably cheap] novel taste, I do this.
Knowing the individual tastes involved is part of the fun.
Had about 15 grilled cheese sandwiches one week. Outer sides of regular bread slices covered in mayo with an incredible Carolina Reaper infused cheese slice in the middle.
Congrats you've beat my pr
I get stuck on foods too but it’s usually something I cook. I keep cooking until I get the recipe down, then I get sick of it after awhile and move on.
I’ve also got a few staples: breakfast burritos (tofu scramble + homemade fake meat or soy chorizo), chili, pizza with imported tipo 00 flour, stir fry, etc. I love spicy foods so especially with the stir fry I add chili oil to kick it up several levels and then something repetitive and boring a lot more complex.
Everywhere I’ve worked I’ve had a lunch, so one place it was one set of items, another place another set …
Vegetable soup lately.
That's approximately 438 grams of protein. Egg rolls sure are an eggcellent source of protein!
I'm currently stuck on eating bags of raw tagliatelle, picking apart and eating some as I'm typing this LMAO
That sounds ...crunchy.
That’s a lot of egg rolls? 4 a day? I mean I love queso but I will admit I go get a fountain Diet Pepsi at Leary once a day.
i get them in packs of 16 from the local sams. i only eat once per day usually so theyve been that meal all week
