Question for January 26, 2019

 

Are you a carnivore, omnivore or veggiesaurus?

Omnivore leaning towards veggiesaurus. I pretty much only eat chicken and small amounts of pork (like, pepperoni sized amounts of pork because i am only human), and then not very often. I usually go days without meat at all. This is because as I cruise through middle age I find I feel much healthier when I limit my meat intake. Also, after many years working in environmental fields I have amassed some truly horrific stories concerning meat production. So unless I know exactly where that chunk of cow is coming from, it ain't going in me.

Omnivore. Though some foods have become harder on the digestive tract with age (and I'm only in my thirties!).

Keeps my bases covered, I like knowing that I can always find something to eat wherever I go.

What's to tell? What's wrong with a poor, innocent Mars Bar dipped in batter and deep fried? :lol:

 

Aww man, I don't think we can even get the Mars Bar here in the states anymore. Haven't had one of those since I was a wee boy.

Ice berg lettuce is an aesthetic food, you only use it for the CRONCH! It's got nothing else to it. 

I feel terrible when the inevitable, unavoidable, ubiquitous IB Lettuce is added to whatever burger or sandwich I’ve ordered. 

 

All those sad little wabbits, deprived of their rightful food

Not sure about the whole deep fry everything trend I hear about in England and Scotland. I've tried some things like that at the local carnivals and it didn't really excite me...

 

In that case You'll want to avoid The State Fair of Texas... <_<

There was one year where some vendor at the fair figured out a way to do Fried Coca-Cola.

Hard to say.  We eat meat on occasion, mainly due to food budget having been tight for so long, but now we eat it every now and then. 

 

.. But I really love a good salad too. 

 

So omnivore.

Isn't it celery that takes more calories to eat than you gain by digesting it?

(And it tastes vile, but please don't tell the wife I said so.)

Celery, that thing you put into stew for a bit of extra flavour.  Some put it in so there's crunchy bits, but mine goes in at the beginning and is pretty much not really there when it's served...

If this is what you guys call Celery, then I got a little tip for you.

 

It's extremely healthy.

 

Cut into pieces and mix it with red bell peppers, mushrooms, sliced onions and grated carrots.

Stirfry some chicken/pork/beef or fish if you want it veggie, leave those out, you might want to use tofu.

 

In the meanwhile boil water, put noodles in, take the water of the heat.

Let the noodles warm up for 4 minutes.

 

Put that in a colander, wait till you're ready with the stir fry, add the noodles and then add a teriyaki or a sweet chili sauce.

Stir, and put in a bowl.

Eat it hot..

No! That's peanut butter delivery! :lol:

 

(I actually eat it all the time, it satisfies my desire for CRONCH without making me fat and it adds good flavour to all sorts of dishes.)

Omnivore, but depending on the meal or what's in front of me, I can drift towards the extremes.

 

At breakfast, particularly at buffets, I will overload on ham, bacon, sausage and eggs. And maybe that one slice of melon to pretend I care about my health.

 

In the presence of fries, chips, tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole, or any other crunchy snack food, I'll gobble them up in very unhealthy quantities, despite being "vegetarian" foods.

Seriously, I can and do enjoy a good salad (preferably cabbage over lettuce) and regularly bring some for lunch. I always have a pot of vegetable soup ready at home, and more than once I've found myself not eating meat for several days without realizing it. But meat is always near if the craving comes up.

What would be your dream job?

 

Super-villain!

 

A more serious answer is something in the space industry, I'd love to study other worlds.

Dog or Cat?

 

I don't mind either, but I've never had a cat, so I guess it's dog by default.

Question for January 24, 2019

 

Do you already have or plan on getting a 3D printer?

 

No.

When they become an indispensable part of everyday life I'll get one, but not before then.

Question for January 25, 2019

 

If you  could only have one, what is your favorite paint line?

 

Vallejo.

Although I'd probably pick Reaper paints if they used different bottles (I could never de-clog mine).

Omnivore.

There's certain things I won't eat, but I don't think there's any food groups that I omit entirely.

I have paperclips handy when painting.

A straightened paperclip always helps to declog any dropper bottle regardless of brand.

Works for me for the Reaper/Vallejo/Scale75 bottles.
