Okay, for all intents and purposes, here's a stock image of fingerling potatoes.

I'm not in the business of unwarranted flamboyance. :D

J/K The thought did come across my mind, but I just wanted to devour ma food and the hell of messing with the phone, uploading to my FTP, downloading to my laptop and then uploading to imgur. You'd think in this, the 21st century sharing images would be easier. LOL Okay, okay, I complicate the hell out of things by not using the "cloud." I run my own damn cloud.
you upload to the computer from the phone and then upload to the site from there, it's really simple.

I can't really eat stuff like that anymore. I have high cholesterol and heart disease runs in the family. My mom just last year had quadruple bypass surgery. I was in and out of the chapel and smoked a full pack of cigarettes for about a 9 hour ordeal before I could see my cyborg mom in the ICU. The surgeon told me prior to surgery what to expect in terms of the crap load of hoses and what not, but I think it was perhaps the sound my mom made after they pulled the tube from her throat that got to me.

My grandma had heart surgery and told my mom you never want to go through this. And then here is my mom saying the same thing. Props to the heart surgeon that can do that. I've watched it on YouTube and it's unbelievable.

All of the older folks in my family cooked everything with lard and made it to at least 85. One guy made it to 104. The only person who died relatively young was a drug addict. Still, I do eat too much greasy food.

I suppose it's more about your DNA disposition then anything else. I mean, my great, great grandma smoked like 4 packs of smokes a day and died at 95. Unfreakingreal.

I believe in eating whatever your body craves. Your body will tell you what it wants. You just have to listen. If you die eating what you want and like, at least you'll die happy.

I've always felt like I'm living on borrowed time anyway. I've been close to dead several times and then my severe health problems hit, so any day I wake up is a good day. I try to augment my diet with healthy things. I eat a lot of fresh fruit and vegetable soups. I just finished off a big pot of quinoa soup. I usually make this a few times per month with black beans or quinoa:
  • White quinoa
  • Mushrooms
  • Kale
  • Green peas
  • Onions
  • Celery
  • Garlic
  • Tomatoes
  • Lemongrass
  • Kefir Lime

I believe in that philosophy too. Well, to some extent. A large part of me just wants to splurge in good Mediterranean food and lots of fish. I also like drinking lots of water and seltzer. But another part of me, like the evil twin says, " triple cheese burger with everything on it and a malt to wash it down!" Thankfully, that part of me isn't so beckoning. LOL

I pretty much constantly crave shrimp, which is unfortunate because I live in the Midwest. I will say that I recently went to both Joe's Crab Shack and Red Lobster for the first time and they were either better than I expected or I was just way too in to the shrimp.

I can't handle more than two of those Red Lobster biscuits though. They're really good but it's like eating cheesecake - a little goes a long way.

I love shrimp as well. Mostly raw shrimp or unbreaded shrimp. My family usually buys a shrimp platter for new years and I suck that sucker down. LOL Nothing quite like cocktail sauce and shrimp. But now I have sort of a phobia with shrimp. While I was getting a haircut we were talking about casinos and some others shit, and we talked about the casinos up in the mountains here in Black Hawk. Well, this town is butt against another town called Central City which I'm told was supposed to be the capital of Colorado at one time. But anyway. These two very small gambling 1800's rustic towns have shit for any municipalities in terms of a simple hospital. If you need a hospital I reckon they fly your ass to Golden or Denver down the mountain. Well, the hair stylist was talking about how her dad ate shrimp there and while they were going home he all of a sudden had an allergic reaction and couldn't breathe. So they had to haul ass down the mountain miles away from a hospital. Luckily the guy didn't die, and apparently never had a problem with shrimp before. He just became a allergic.

So it's bothered me ever sense I heard that story. "Will today be the day I suddenly become allergic to shrimp?" And I too eat shrimp at Black Hawk at the buffet.

Yeah, I've never been to a Red Lobster before and just went a few weeks back for my birthday. They had an all you can eat shrimp promo and I took advantage of that. Was pretty damn good.

Went to a Mexican food restaurant I've been meaning to check out and ordered fajitas. Pretty damn good. To top it off, there was a nice looking Latina there with a blondish ponytail and a nice cute little ass. :D

Post a pic of what you think is better. I've had many forms and all are virtually the same. Not pictured were the corn tortillas.

I guess I should mention they had like four versions. I got the cheapest.

LOL brilliant. Life is more than enjoying eating for some of us, we eat to survive and then enjoy life itself.
