Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

What do I want for dinner? Today I have had two egg and cheese quesadillas and some roast chicken.

I am simultaneously bored of the food I have been eating and scared to try anything else and nothing really sounds good, BUT, I am hungry.

msbelle, do you have any taters? You could microwave a tater, or if you're really motivated, make mashed taters.

Tim would like it noted for the record that the trashpipe is "upcycling."

I've had like 5 baked potatoes the last 2 days. It still sounds good though, so maybe I do that.

Potatoes are the only "vegetable" that I have had. Maybe I steam some broccoli? Vegetables seem like hard for by belly foods.

A cruciferous veggie like broccoli is going to be a little challenging to your insides. Are you ready for that? If so, go for it! (Maybe broccoli and cheese on a tater?)

I'm in that state known as Shit, I Am Starving But Can't Think Of A Gotdamn Thing I Want To Eat. Maybe grilled cheese and tomato soup? Oooh, or no, I picked up this yummy autumn soup at TJs, so maybe grilled gouda/provolone and that soup? Hmmmm.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I"m in the neighboring state, Damnit, I'm Hungry, But All Of My Food Seems Too Complicated.

Oh, I won't lie; even making grilled cheese and soup feels too complicated right now.

Honestly, I would order something from DoorDash if I knew what I wanted. I am ridiculous.

I have some TJs autumn soup, but that REALLY seems too much for the belly.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I would read flea's book.

I am making Instant Pot chicken burrito bowls, 'cause there's nothing I want to eat but Jim insists that protein bars and tea do not constitute dinner.
