I get super sick from eating bratwurst, but then Son of Hot Doug's moved into my neighborhood. So now when I don't feel like cooking, I eat there and it's ruining my life. But they have alligator sausage!

When I worked at General Motors Technical Support center, it was my team of mostly women and then like 100ish former mechanics in a call center. The communal kitchen fridges were full of some of the grossest food.

One guy in Transmissions ate exclusively Hungry Man meals for lunch. I never saw him not eating a Hungry Man meal and it was usually the salisbury steak variety.

One guy in Driveline would eat an entire package of hot dogs that he would also microwave all at once and eat without condiments off of pieces of Butternut white bread. Sometimes he would cover them in one of those enormous family-size can of baked beans before microwaving.

One of my team leads was on a very strict diet by his doctor, but could spot gravy on a lunch from three cubicles away and would walk by your desk asking if you had gravy on your meal.

All of them were like human garbage disposals during our frequent company potlucks, shoving anything and everything on a plate out of Dale Earnhardt themed slow-cookers.

I have a big bottle of unopened Tahina.

Don't fancy falafels though

What can I do

I grew up with a very crunchy granola mom who had crunchy granola mom friends. I remember one kid in our play group, Daniel, was allergic to peanuts so his mom would always insist on bringing snacks for everyone. One time my mom, his mom and the two 4 year olds went to a pumpkin patch. She gave me a sandwich and said it was a peanut butter sandwich. It was a tahini sandwich on white bread. Who would do that to a child?

I've never eaten goose, but those fuckers are mean, so I would eat one with gusto.

I briefly worked on a sheep farm in Kansas during a college break and it did nothing to convince me to not eat meat. We had basically all the ground lamb we could eat (lamb meatloaf is amazing), plus fresh eggs and chicken every time a chicken in her flock was either too old, or acting up. I fed them in the mornings and one morning I mentioned to her that one of the roosters basically attacked me when I was in the enclosure. It wasn't a big deal: I was wearing coveralls so the claws in my arm didn't even register, but she went out and we had chicken for dinner that evening.

This was a modern photo shoot to poke fun at the 1960's style recipe cards. Each has a little joke: the spray-painted lobster, the prawns on the fingers (and an entire tray of limes), stirring the coffee with a hotdog, cutting the "party loaf" from underneath the table.

How the gently caress did paleo manage to kill a dog of all things? They're carnivores...

Dogs' diets are closer to human diets: they need carbohydrates in the forms of vegetables and fruit. Too much fat in a dog's system can also really gently caress them up. Wolves eat lean meat and underbrush greens. I can't remember what happened in this specific instance, but I feel like it was kidney failure?

Feed your dogs green beans and sweet potatoes. Not only is it hilarious to watch them chew green beans, they really like them. Also frozen sweet potato ice cubes were our saving grace for bored, hot dogs this winter. Sorry for the tangent but dogs are not cut out for the paleo diet.

Sweet potatoes are fine on a Paleo diet; green beans have varying levels of acceptability. Most people I know who eat Paleo eat a large variety of fruits and vegetables; maybe some goon is just really bad at reading simple directions? I dunno. There's a difference between feeding your dog grass-fed beef and some veggies, and covering your dog in butter so he'll lick it off and then throwing bacon at his face.

Here's why low-carb diets are really really popular: because you get to eat meat! They'll advertise it as a lot of meat! Just shove that meat in your fat gob and you'll be skinny eventually. So when it turns out that Atkins or Paleo diets actually involve a lot of meal planning, vegetables and less bacon than originally planned, people just take what they want to hear from it (MEAT!) and skip the rest. A great low-carb diet involves lean proteins with a lot of low glycemic index fruits and vegetables (all the worst ones, to be honest). But a magic diet that someone who loves red meat can stick to involves a lot fewer veggies.

The only thing worth getting cafeteria lunch for in high school was Bosco stick day. The line would reach out into the hallway. They would announce it on the morning announcements the day before. It was a monthly event. Sometimes kids with the early lunch would buy extra and sell them between classes in the hallways, but after the administration heard of this, we were put on a strict one-order-per student Bosco stick regime.

I went to high school for a year in France, though and kids would complain about the 3-course absolutely delicious lunches that had identifiable meats, vegetables and cheeses and included dessert.

People who make a big deal about "when I cook" kind of mystify me. What do you eat the nights that you don't Instagram your food? Are you the person in front of me at the grocery store with a cart full of Lean Cuisines? I will cop to having instagrammed a meal or two when I'm especially proud of something. But I also cook dinner pretty much every night.

Cooking is surprisingly not a common skill. I think people get excited because they'll go most of their adult lives, confounded by the process. I was common-law married pretty much right after moving out with my dad (who was a good cook), to in with my spouse (who was an AMAZING cook), so I found myself later, at 26, unable to boil an egg. You better believe I took some ugly rear end pictures and showed them to people. I don't think I got too arrogant about it though as I am aware that all my meals look like vomit. Colourful vomit, though.

Cooking for me is so just perfunctory. So story:

I made like a totally not "authentic" but still delicious curry dish for my friend and her boyfriend a few years ago when I stayed at their place for a few nights. Her boyfriend does the big meal, fancy cooking. She makes pasta sometimes and puts sauce on it. They eat a lot at the local tacqueria. Anyways, I made this meal in probably about 40 minutes all told. They were both at work/class so they came home to a hot meal and asked me for the recipe.

A few weeks later I get a text from my friend expressing how she totally didn't realize how much effort I had put into that curry. Her boyfriend was making it and he'd been in the kitchen for 3 hours. I literally don't know how it takes that long, but I think he was chopping up each individual vegetable and cooking it separately. I can't imagine being in the kitchen for three hours. I would want to shove my own head inside the oven. I like cooking, but I like eating it more.

Now I'm curious what the recipe was.

Marinated chickpeas, sweet potato, cauliflower, lentils/chicken, with yogurt curry sauce over basmati. From what it sounded like, he whited the chicken, removed the chicken from the pan and started cutting up the onions. Cooked the onions, turned off the stove and started cutting up the sweet potato. Cooked the sweet potato and the onions, turned off the stove and started cutting the cauliflower up. Then he looked up how much of the stalk of cauliflower you actually use for eating. Then he remembered that it was supposed to be roasted cauliflower, so he cut it up and started the oven, decided that was unnecessary and browned it in a separate pan. Then took the (thankfully already cooked because I specified that in the recipe) marinated chickpeas and put them in the pan with the rest of the pre-cooked ingredients and started to make the curry sauce, but didn't turn on the stove because he knew that the spices needed to be heated with the vegetables. At this point he also realized that he needed to cook the rice, so without anything actually cooking, he started on the rice. Luckily that was in a rice cooker, so he could individually add the precooked bowls of everything while the stove was on to then let it cook for another 45 some minutes because he didn't want to break the yogurt/cream on the curry sauce. This was all conveyed to me via text and I was cracking up about it.

I'm glad I wasn't there because I would have screamed at the inefficiency of it. I pace the kitchen when my girlfriend cooks though so I'm not exactly a joy to have in the kitchen.
