For myself, I'm virtually certain I've cooked bacon every day for the past 38 days... and have been drinking each day as well

Raisins? I could go either way, but love some oatmeal raisin cookies. Soft, no crunchy ones... Also am 129 years old.

Does coffee count?

If not, whatever cookies are around, which is plenty as my wife has been baking multiple times a week. She’s been making these super basic shortbread cookies that are quite nice.

Since I’m working from home I catch myself snacking a lot more during the day than when I was in the office. I’m eating way too many pretzel bites, Cheeze-Its, mixed nuts, chips, etc. Basically if it’s covered in salt I’m eating it. I’m heading to the store today to see if I can find some baby carrots and snap peas to mitigate this a bit.

We buy cranberry and chocolate infused oatmeal cookies. I asked my family members to hide them from me after weighing myself in at 3kg more than what I want . I’ve lost 1.4 kg since.

odd times ask for odd solutions.

Well, it was Baja enchiladas, mezcal and a Tecate from a local joint, but they went out of business a couple of weeks ago.

TBH I’ve had no appetite lately on account of stress. After finishing one final last night my wife got me a burger, some sushi and a bourbon based drink from a super shwanky place.

I have a tendency to keep the main freezer well stocked with frozen veggies and the chest freezer filled with meat, including lots of bacon. I try not to snack much...and just drink water and diet coke or snapple.

Fucking hell, raisins are the worst part of oatmeal cookies. I have never once seen cookies with oatmeal that didn't have raisins. I LOVE oatmeal cookies and bake them all the time, but I just use chocolate chips instead. I don't mind raisins as I love cinnamon raisin bagels. But they just don't belong in cookies!

I'm just spending a shitload at the grocery store since I have nothing better to do but cook every day. Nothing really out of the ordinary though. I've made a lot of chilli and frozen pizzas just because they are so damn good.

I’ve been working from home for quite a few years, so it’s really only the nights that have me out of sorts.

I’ve been doing a fair amount of extra drinking during the week ....old-fashioned’s - Woodford Rye and Larceny have been the main culprits. Been experimenting with making my own cocktail cherries as well . Soaking them in Jameson (of which I’m not really a fan) so far is the best.

I’ve also dipped into the wine stash a bit, drinking some of my ‘collectible ’ bottles that were usually reserved for special occasions. These days it’s an ‘ 05 Bordeaux with a cheesesteak made from leftover rib-eye on a Tuesday night .

This coming week I have a few rum cocktails on tap.

Rice & beans. It doesn’t use a lot of dishes, it’s super filling, and I can make huge batches that will feed me for days. Plus like every ingrediant except the chicken is shelf-stabl e so I can buy it in bulk.

Unfortunately no. A neighbor of mine has family in Oaxaca that produces mezcal. It’s not imported, but he gave me a leftover bottle from his daughter’s quinceñera. Forget the brand, but it was great. He was one of the chefs that created the menu for the restaurant I was referencing.

There’s a place right near me that does Mexico City style street food that I’m thinking I’ll get for dinner.

When I was in the army stationed in Louisiana, 1988 or '89, you could get two large Domino's pizzas and four 20 oz Cokes delivered for something like $15. Standard Friday afternoon menu for me was split that order with my roommate, drink about four beers, eat a large pizza, asleep by 9:00 p.m.

Y’all are on the west coast, domino’s is good pizza around here anyways. If it’s not NY or Chicago I’d rather just have domino’s lol. Little bit pricey though compared to costco or digornio pizza which is equally as good.

Yep, those and huaraches (the food). They also do a chicken and rice soup which you don’t find at other places.

Most people up here would have no idea those are Mexican dishes as they’re only exposed to northern mexican a d mexican-american cuisine. It’s probably not referred to a “DF” style where you’re at, but up here it distinguishes itself.

I started with bacon and then frying things in the grease. Always accompanied by a beer. That lasted through the second twelve pack averaging just under one a day.

That died off pretty quick. N ow it’s mostly just enjoying bananas and cold water out on the bike without either being frozen. That and a couple cookies after dinner. Pretty dull.

05/03/2020 at 14:04

That’s been my go-to as well! Although not THAT specific flavor. I had an assortment (so I could try them all), a solid supply of the normal 1x spicy (black package), and lots of the cheese flavour (yellow package). They’re SO good. Big handful of bagged coleslaw goes in the pan right after they’re drained, and lightly cooked as you saute the sauce into the noodles. Garnish with green onion and serve with a big glass of milk.

Heck, for the first two weeks of quarantine, it was a daily treat. Now it’s just like, every other day.

I never hated raisins in the oatmeal cookies that my mother made. BUT sometimes she was out of raisins and would use chocolate chips instead. SO GOOD. Those were the best!

05/03/2020 at 14:12

Well yeah its more akin to using turkey bacon instead of real bacon. Like sure turkey bacon is okay and I'd gladly eat it if given it. But hands down I'd always prefer regular bacon. Same goes for raisins vs chocolate chips.
