Subj : Meat, Medicine, & More To : Daryl Stout From : George Pope Date : Thu Mar 17 2022 13:44:06 > George, >> Just heard this about Outback Steakhouses in Texas: If you go into >> Outback Steakhouse in Texas & order anything but a steak, they take >> you "out back." (ouch!) > Never mind wanting the bloomin' onion. :P I know abot his thing -- nearly 5,000 calories! Looks like it'd taste delicious as all, but not worth it for me -- I'll try to fake it in sallow oil in a fryingpan -- dust some onion wedges with seasoned flour & immerse & fry. The fanm wants to try it, to, but not at that cvalorie count! (Io seriously hope people don't treat that thing as a single serving appetizer! -- a group of 4-5, maybe, & only order light meals (not my usual 16-32oz steak with potato, unlimited sourdough bread with herbed &/or garlic butter!) As an appy for a group of 8, it's likely perfect -- just enough to whet the appetite, then have a basic meal (not the surf & turf, & no pasta on the side of your steak) But rumour has it that many of your fellow Americans aren't quite that delicate when ity comes to food. An order, for one person of: Blooming Onion starter, plate of prawns as a starter, caesar salad with chicken, steak, lobster, pan of lasagna, baked potato(loaded), washing it down with plenty of beer or wine. Then desserts(plural) including cheesecake & Mississippi Mud Pie, & maybe ice cream. Get an order of dry ribs to eat in the car on the way home. . . I'm sure it's happened. & they consider the walk from the restaurant door to their car to be sufficient exercise to burn off all those calories. As a 16-year-old I once had, in one meal: order of nachos for 4 ( to myself) 3-4 plates from the salad bar (mostly potato salad & deviled eggs, & luncheon meats) 32-ounce prime rib (medium rare, cooked to perfection! *kisses finger tips*) loaded baked potato Mississippi Mud Pie a la Mode (anybody tried to steal a taste, I stabbed them with my unused salad fork!) I use the same ONE FORK when I eat. (I've washed enough dishes over the years, even by then, to know that using fewer is always appreciated) Buyt if I didn't eat around 6,000 calories a day then I lost weight from my already nearly anorexic loknig frame. I smoked 30 strong cigs/day & walked anywhere from 10-80 miles a day, all at a fixed 6MPH pace. So, yeah, I could break the eatinjg rules whe4n needed. I sdropiusly got kicked out of an al you can eat Chinese buffet restaurant becaise Io'd pay my $5 & eat 78 plates of only meat, piled high! He(owner) tried to get me to eat some bread, rice, veggies, etc., buty nope, I ate what I liked & needed to fuel me for what could be a 2-10 day fast (I never knew until afterward); like the tiger - the best way to have longterm strength is an all meat diet & lots of it! Looking back it's amazing I was never constipated! (not til my late 20s, post paralysis) > let you have the money...would you mind telling me how you won??". > The customer smiled, and said "First, I told the bull I had a bigger > pecker than he did...then, I proved it". Oh come ON now, that was over 30 fleeping years ago -- will you people EVER let this story die down?! The money's all spent -- I even donated a quarter of it to various charities. Neve returned to that bar again,. though, as resentment rtan high from those who hasd helped fill the jars. > I forgot to get a deal like that for a casserole the other day, as I was > limited on funds, and wanted to get good deals. So, I got these 3 minute > pizzas, bags of chicken nuggets, lunch meat, single cheese slices, and > ketchup. It still cost $75, but with bonus fuel points, and filling out a > survey, I'll have 20 cents a gallon off the next time I have to get gas for > the car. The other day, at $4.20 a gallon (mid-grade), it took $46 to fill > up the car. It'll probably be above $5 a gallon the next time I fill up. > I saw a meme that noted "I got gas for 99 cents, but it was at Taco Bell". There you go. Like the gas station cum diner sign said: "Eat here. Get gas." Why not grow a little garden patch? You can do it in containers or raised beds to put it at your height when sitting down, for safety, if needed. Just a grew basics will elevate your nutrition levels while reducing your grocery bills -- carrots, spinach, lettuce, corn (bury a small fish(e.g. pompano) with the seed for each). Spinach(or Kale, your choice) is critical for the sddark leafy greeens; vitamins (the B complex); you only need to have a serving a week, as it processes in your liver, not your kidneys If I have a saladf, I use babuy s[inach leaves, as lettuce has zero nutrients - - it's just crunch water held together by a thin layer of minimal fiber. > Yep. A cured patient is a lost customer, according to Big Pharma. Indeed. Ditto research (donate to cure cancer/AIDS/et al/etc); there's no money for researchers in cures -- only in research. Universities can't say, "Hey, we cured X, give us money for that." as people'd laugh & ask "What are you doing NOW?" >> Pissing you off? Or feeling like you've grabbed holt of a >> rhymes-with-Venus? > I thought I'd lose mine after all that Lasix in water the last time > I was in the hospital after bladder stone surgery. Me, too, when I had the laser blasting thing once & the doctor was a cruel puppy (son of a she-dog) Hecame to see me in the recovery (post-op/step doweb unit) room & said I was good to leave, they needed the bed. I pointed out that the cathetyer & stent were sti9ll in my shmeckle. He wanted ME to pull them out. I said, bnot from this angle! So her groaned & yanked everyuthing out in one fast rip, shredding the nose cone of my formerly well defined missile. For a week I had zero control over urination, as the irritating pain/itch would get it spraying(& THAT! No more straight stream) So I wasstucj at home, naked, with a dispensible juice jug nearby. Naturally, I started easing back on water consumption as I knew it would hurt like a *pause* (*&^(*^(*^&(^*()&)!!! *unpause* when it exited. Eventually I figured out I had to drink extra water to have maximum new flow, to clean things up as my body slowly healed. (urine, befioore it hits airm, is perfectly hygienic & an excellent antiseptic) A week later I was normal again (ahh, I really thought my rocket's nose cone looked like an exploded hollow point & would be forever) I like being able to pee like a man -- that was MY first landmark benchmark in the hospital -- when I could stand up & pee normally again, after my stroke. The docs & physios had other ideas, like when I could kick my left leg outward, while seated. I was still using a disposable bottle hung on my bed, as I didn't like it when a nurse had to help me transfer to SIT (gahhhhaarrrgghhh!) to go. One male nuse liked to 'accidentally', every time, without fail, brush his hand over top of "me" over my robe! Ick. I walked into the kitchen and saw my wife chopping onions which made me cry Onions was a good dog Q: What do you call an onion that likes to beat-rhyme? A: A Rapscallion! I thought I heard an onion singing a Bee Gees song. But it was just a chive talking. Q: What do you call an onion that wonĘt hold water? A: A leek. Q: Where did the onion find his family history? A: In the ar-chives Q: What do you get if you cross a donkey and an onion? A: A piece of ass that will bring a tear to your eye --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-6 * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757) .
