They say you can't change him, but when they say that they're talking about trying to change him *for the better*. Maybe it can work the other way round.

The non-drinkingness sounds like a huge challenge and possibly not worth it, but what do I know.

I eat fishies now. I had shrimp and mussels on Valentine's Day and salmon on Sunday.

20 bucks if Laurel can flip the vegetarian.

xpost - Getting him to drink, though - sometimes people don't drink because they know what assholes they are when they do.

Excellent.

if you can get him drunk you can get him to eat a greasy cheeseburger.

Mussels + V-Day = :) :)

Kev that new name rules.

Veg is sadness because it means my cooking will go un-et by Liked One, but drinking? What do people even DO with themselves?

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

One of my very good friends (Kid, from the band) does not drink, but he makes up for it with his eating.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Does he at least meditate or build houses?

new york groove by ace frehley, obv.

NOOOOOOOOO! orig version by Hello!

Constant sex.

― lavender mofo (kenan), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 16:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait, are you saying they have sex...sober?

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Do you only cook meat, Laurel?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 16:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait, are you saying they have sex...sober?

haha Yes! And with enthusiasm!

― lavender mofo (kenan), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 16:45 (seventeen years ago) link

morbs, the production on the ace frehley version is HYSTERICAL! they bury his vocals in the harmony because of his atrocious accent, then the mid-range is pumped up in the word "groove" causing a "back in a new york grOOOHve" sound. it's amazing.

John, pretty much everything has meat or meat base in it somewhere. Lentils for brek this morning? Totally awesome made with bacon and home-made chicken stock.

So unnecessary, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

i am not arguing about bacon with the bacon-free.

I rollerskated to 'New York Groove' all the time as a kid.

I dated someone who didn't drink (and was in AA), but it wasn't a problem, especially because she still went to bars (and music shows in bars, etc.). I can't seem to stop dating vegetarians, which makes ordering chateaubriand impossible.

pork chop sandwiches

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 16:59 (seventeen years ago) link

The bacon is probably an integral ingredient in that recipe, so it's not that, but I'm not sure what the point of the chicken stock is. I guess I just dislike the notion that vegetarian food is flavorless unless it's gussied up with meat. I'm not saying don't eat cheeseburgers, I'm just saying lentils are pretty great on their own.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Nueske's thick-cut applewood-smoke bacon would convert anyone to the meat-eating cause.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I remember the Ace Frehley version from high school. meh.

You know what's severely underrated? Plain nonfat yog.

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

^^^^ mix with garlic, salt, pepper, cucumbers, tahini. Jerusalem salad up in this piece!

Also good with this combination sans tahini as a cooling side dish with hot hot curries.

xpost otm

I used to think a container of yoplait was good for me, but then i read the ingredients. Now I have to file it under "guilty pleasure."

― lavender mofo (kenan), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Plain yogurt is gross. Gotta be vanilla.

Dan, John: what time are you guys thinking of getting to Galway tonight? I'm trying to figure out my schedule.

― n/a (n/a), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Have any of you eaten there?

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:14 (seventeen years ago) link

N: Starts at 8, right? I may catch a ride over if I can find one, otherwise it'll be the Fullerton bus. I'm shooting for between 7:30 and 8 I guess.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not sure yet. Probably depends on how late I stay at work, which would determine if I go straight there or if I go home first and then drive.

I have eaten there, yes. I remember it being pretty good, though I can't tell you what I had. It was a few years ago.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Do you guys need to be there any earlier to sign up?

I just consumed a blend of 6 live active cultures. BOO YAH!

― Calico (calico), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan, I wouldn't eat plan yogurt plain, probably! But it's SOOO GOOD and necessary for sauces and toppings and cooking purposes.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I had the hummus appetizer dealie when we ended up there last week (Galway). It was acceptable.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

True, I buy it for making tzatziki sauce sometimes.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

That pig named after me is awfully cute.

We watched an ep of Dirty Jobs last night during which the very handsome Mike Rowe worked on a pig farm. And a small pig farm that probably can call it's methods humane and they still did mean things to baby pigs (clip their teeth off, cut off their tails) that made me have to hide in the bathroom until the segment was over.

I am the most conflicted meat eater I have ever met. FYI.

I think that chicken stock adds a lot of flavor to lentils, etc., and I tend to use a lot of it, but I think vegetable stock works just as well as a substitute. Maybe I'll start using more vegetable stock. Best bet would be to make my own but what am I, made of spare time?

Plain yogurt w/ salt, pepper, etc. is AWESOME.

The burger at Galway was subpar.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I had a great burger last night. It involved avocado spread.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 17:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Mmm...

Guess what time it is?
It's PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME

What kind of jelly, Sarah?

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 18:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think you're ready for it, Eazy.

You know, I have decided I don't like that dude. He's just a little too smug. He's handsome, yes, but he is very aware of that, and seems to always be smirking about it in a self-satisfied way. Contrast with the mythbusters guys, who are just huge geeks and really into their job. Way more fun.

― lavender mofo (kenan), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I loved Deadliest Catch so much, and he was the narrator for that show... it's hard to move on from such awesomeness.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 18:15 (seventeen years ago) link

never saw that. you have better associations than i. I just think of that dude who's covered in shit and acting like he's way above it.

― lavender mofo (kenan), Wednesday, 21 February 2007 18:17 (seventeen years ago) link
