Starting a ketogenic diet today. 2 poached eggs and 2 slices of bacon for breakfast. Chicken salad (made with avocado oil mayo) with carrot sticks for lunch. Leftover Easter ham with green beans for dinner.
Edit: Shoot, carrots aren’t allowed. Blueberries instead.

Chicken salad for lunch. A banana and pear for dessert. Maybe I'll have some ice cream while playing video games.

When I became an adult, there were two things I guaranteed myself.
1. Never have a personal trainer. I don't need to pay someone to yell and scream at me to workout. I can just as easily look up a workout and do it myself, on my own time, where I want.
2. Don't have someone else tell me what I can and cannot eat. I eat what I want, when I want. Sounds gluttonous, but it isn't. I don't do much sweets; couldn't tell you the last time I had ice cream. Same for cereal. I don't eat a lot in general. I'll throw some veggies in once in a while, but it's not a staple in my diet. I usually have fruit as a snack in the office. Otherwise, not much of a snacker. I usually have some meal with eggs in the morning, often without meat. If I want something, I get it, but it's far from a child's diet.

My wife was telling me of a coworker (let's call her Alice) who (along with her husband, Bob) became strict vegans recently. (My wife feels sorry for Alice, who is super thin.) Alice told my wife that Bob has been going to the gym at 5:00 AM and asked her if she wanted to come along, too. She said "Not at 5:00 AM!" My wife told me that she suspects what Bob was up to: He's getting up early to grab hamburgers, egg and sausage muffins, bacon, scrambled eggs. Basically, he's secretly eating what he's craving.

Ice cream now. Neapolitan, so named because folks long time ago mistakenly believed that this colorful ice cream was from Naples, Italy.

Another reason for me not to get married. You know who doesn't care what you eat? A dog.

@professor, are you even good-looking enough to attract a wife?

Aah, ice cream, my worst kryptonite Do not befriend somebody with a ice cream maker then complain that you can't get certain flavor of ice cream easily (e.g. rum raisin with extra rum). Well, that friend proceeded to create gallons of rum raisin ice cream plus unique flavors like Amaretto Kahlua, Kona Coffee Almond, Cherry Cordial, Fruity (mango, strawberries ...), Blueberries, taking up half of the freezer space of my 25 cf refrigerator. What's the man to do in order to regain those needed freezer space? Quickly eat up the ice cream, of course. True story - my A1c went up by .6, prompting my primary care doctor to write me a warning letter. "Don't eat this, don't eat that, don't eat, period." I had since ditched the frenemy, and took several urgency measures. Within 3 months my doctor wrote me again, though not in these exact words, "How do h**l did you lower your A1C so much in such a short time? OK, eat what you want."

I'm willing to befriend anyone who gives me what I need. Yes, it's a dishonest friendship.

I'm on a diet so I would love to talk about food.
I miss nacho cheese Doritos more than anything. And beer.

i had been reading about Japanese cuisine and learned about the omakase: chef's choice. I walked into the only sushi place in town that is Japanese owned and ordered the omakase sashimi. The sushi chef came out from behind the counter and asked if I was serious. I said I was. He said how much, I gave him a dollar amount. He asked: more fish or better fish? I said better fish. I was a fat and happy man that evening. Omakase is a good way to have a fine experience in a sushi place. It can also work in other kinds of places too. Chefs often like to show off and do something special for people who give them that kind of trust.

Since this is somewhat random, I'd say my favorite snack food if I can find it would be Gordon Biersch garlic fries. Not too many places have it now. I've had it at their brewpub in San Jose. Whenever I pass by Roseville I go to their place at the big mall. I remember once I got some there and took it to Thunder Valley Casino. Someone saw them (they used to be in their logo box) and someone asked where I got it. Also SFO and OAK airports have it somewhere, but I'm not sure if garlic fries are the greatest thing when someone is ready to board a plane.
I think the original Gordon Biersch location in Palo Alto (now "Dan Gordon's") is allowed to use the same recipe. They have "GB Classic Garlic Fries" on their menu.

I don't go to those fancy schmancy places like you folks. My favorite fries are the Cajun fries from Five Guys. You have to eat it right away or else they'll get soggy and disgusting. I suppose that goes for all fries.
And then there's the free peanuts. I used to love those. Then, time passed. I bought some Costco unsalted peanuts. Got used to that taste. Then, when I went back to Five Guys and threw some peanuts into my mouth, they were super salty. I don't know if Five Guys changed their peanut roasting recipe or changed vendors or what, but I can't eat those extra salted peanuts anymore. I prefer the unsalted variety from Costco.
