  • Proud of consuming truckloads of food? I must have missed that memo. Alternative take - overstressed, overworked, and struggling to survive, seeking out any kind of dopamine or serotonin bandaid to make the struggle with bothering for one more day worth it. It’s not something people typically WANT to do, but it can be an unhealthy coping mechanism when options are limited.

    I’m in a southern Chicago suburb. Yesterday it was over 70 degrees, last night we had hail and tornadoes, then I wake up to snow flurries. There are trees and plants doing things they shouldn’t for weeks and I suspect my spring allergies are already starting.

    While part of me is embracing the “milder” days, it’s also a bit unnerving.




  • I’m not even a fan of seafood, but my understanding is that anything of notable size will be deveined. Unless you’re talking little popcorn shrimp sized things, which for that I think they “purge” and then call it good enough because with all the seasoning/breading there wouldn’t be enough to notice.

    Again, nothing I have any interest in eating, but I’ve watched a lot of cooking shows.










  • An irritating number of companies make it inconvenient to just view a menu, and want you to “Start your order!” to see prices and availability. I get that certain items are regional so entering a zip code makes sense, but if I just want to look at a menu and prices to see if I even want to do business with them I shouldn’t have to create an account.

    That said, for convenience purposes I’ll occasionally order food online or over the phone so it’s ready by the time I’m driving past on my way home and pick it up.
