Thanksgiving is Gonna Be Weird: A Survival Guide for 2020

It’s 2020, the pandemic is worse than ever, and the holidays are right around the corner. No matter what, this is going to be a weird Thanksgiving for a lot of people. With travel restrictions in place and most of us having a mighty desire not to murder our friends and family by spreading around a disease, there’s a good chance that you’re going to be celebrating a bit differently this year. 

And, hey, maybe you decide not to celebrate at all. Which is perfectly valid! 

But maybe you’re staring down the possibility of your first Thanksgiving on your own, or feeding just the small group you live for rather than a big crowd, or some other unusual circumstance. And if that’s the case, I wanted to compile together some resources/ideas to help you out. I know this isn’t my usual horror fare, but...well, I hope it’s helpful, regardless. 

“Help, I’ve Never Made Thanksgiving Dinner Before” Starter Kit

Maybe you’ve always gone home for the holidays but are currently stuck in an apartment with a few roommates, and none of you have any intensive cooking skills. Maybe you always take the kids to Grandma’s house and have never had to contribute more than a side dish but now really want to do a proper Thanksgiving feast for your partner(s), kid(s) and whoever else lives in your house. 

Never fear! A Thanksgiving feast doesn’t have to be intimidating! In fact, Thanksgiving foods are usually pretty simple; the most challenging part of the whole feast is the project management aspect of working with a lot of different dishes and getting everything ready at once. But the smaller your crowd to feed, the easier that is! 

So, the first thing you’ll want to do is come up with a menu. Sit down and write a list of all the foods you normally eat and enjoy on Thanksgiving. If something is served at your family meal that you’ve never cared for, guess what? You can boot that bad boy right off the list! 

By and large, the standard Thanksgiving feast consists of: 

Roast turkey 

Mashed potatoes

Gravy

Some kind of dinner roll

Cranberry sauce

Some number of vegetable side dishes (often a green been casserole and a sweet potato casserole) 

Some kind of dessert (often/traditionally a pumpkin pie) 

I’ve linked above some easy & favorite techniques/recipes for all of these foods, but of course you can buy time-saving convenience items to get you rolling -- from potato flakes to gravy mix to premade pie. I won’t tell if you don’t. 

If there’s something you’re used to eating every year that you don’t know how to make....call whoever usually makes it! If at all possible, obviously, I’m not recommending you do a seance to talk to your dead great-aunt and get her rolls recipe. Just, like...phone up your friend/family member, get the recipe, and use it as an opportunity to connect. Odds are both of you are missing the human interaction. 

“Hey, That’s Nice, But I Live in a Dorm Room”  Edition 

Okay, okay, I get it. You’re away at college and can’t get home to see your family safely and you’re living in some kind of weird socially isolated dorm situation where you have limited access to cooking implements. Or, shit, idk, maybe you’re couch-surfing or living in a motel or otherwise not in possession of a full kitchen. 

I got you, fam. 

Do you have at your disposal a microwave? Rice cooker? Even an electric kettle will work! 

If you have some way to boil water, you can make instant mashed potatoes, gravy, and stove-top stuffing. If you have a microwave, you can steam some vegetables and bake a sweet potato. For dessert, core an apple, stuff the cavity with brown sugar + cinnamon + butter and nuke in the microwave for 4 minutes. 

It’s hypothetically possible to microwave a turkey, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Instead, I’d opt to buy a deli roast chicken (about $5 at most grocery stores), or even just some turkey deli meat. Alternatively, ham usually just needs to be warmed rather than cooked, and you can buy a big ol’ ham steak at the store for a couple of bucks. 

“I’m Dead Broke Because COVID, Send Help” 

You know the great thing about Thanksgiving food? It’s cheap. No, really! It can be, anyway, especially since a lot of foods go on sale. 

In my area anyway, the local Wal-Mart and Smith’s Grocery have: 

A can of green beans for about 79 cents

A bag of instant mashed potatoes for about $1 

A big can of yams for about $1, or fresh yams for 50 cents/lb (usually a couple sweet potatoes = 1lb) 

Canned corn or peas + corn for 50 cents, or steam-in-bag veggies of your choice for $1 

Stovetop stuffing for $1 or sometimes even 50 cents per box 

Margarine for 79 cents to $1 

Gravy mix packets for 50 cents each

A can of cranberry sauce for $1 or less

Most of these are also available at Dollar Tree! 

A lot of food banks will also be giving out turkeys this time of year, and some grocery stores will give you a free turkey if you spend $50 or $100 on groceries or whatever. Do you have an older relative who needs groceries? Ask if you can go buy their food and deliver it to their door (contactless!) and keep the free turkey.

You can pretty easily feed a group of 4-6 for $20 or so, especially if you’re willing to be flexible on your protein. And what are you doing feeding more than 6 people in the middle of a pandemic, huh? 

“I’m Used to Hosting a Big Dinner But There’s Only Like Three Of Us Living In This House WTF How Do I Scale This Shit Down” 

Maybe you are a Thanksgiving veteran. Maybe you’re accustomed to hosting for a big crowd and cooking a small meal just seems dumb and pointless. I feel you. This is my life right now! But don’t despair! 

The way I see it, you’ve got a couple-three options: 

Option One: 

Cook your turkey + a different side each day, and eat your Thanksgiving feast spread out over a week or so. It’ll keep your leftovers from dominating your fridge, let you eat something fresh, and allow you to enjoy all your favorite recipes. Downside is you’ll have to cook every day, so you tell me if you’re too busy to do that. 

Option Two: 

Cook everything that you normally would, but portion off half of it or whatever to stuff into your freezer, or go deliver it to somebody else’s door. The odds are pretty good that you’ve got a friend or family member who is freaking out about the holiday, and if you can’t see them in person, you can at least drop food off on their porch and then honk aggressively/cheerfully from the safety of your car! 

Option Three: 

Make something different this year. If you’re a foodie, take this as an opportunity to challenge yourself to create something high-maintenance and weird that you wouldn’t normally make. This is a good choice if you’re off work and stuck in your house with nothing else to do. Basically you’re subbing out quantity for quality so the meal still feels special and unique even if it’s, y’know....just you and your cat, or whoever. 

PS: Roasting a whole chicken or a cornish game hen is a fun, small-scale way to get your bird-in-the-oven experience. You can also buy a turkey breast and just cook that, which will be a lot faster than the whole bird anyway. 

"I’m An Essential Worker And I’m Working Thanksgiving And Have No Time To Do ANYTHING, What Now?” 

Dude, I get it. And whether you’re a doctor, nurse, grocery store employee, or whatever other essential service-worker, my heart goes out to you because hoo boy this year has been shit, hasn’t it? I can’t do anything about the hazard pay situation, but I CAN tell you that there are a few places offering delivery-based Thanksgiving meal options! 

You might want to search around a bit for your specific area. Cracker Barrel, Marie Callendar’s, Boston Market, and other types of branded “home-cooking” type restaurants tend to have some kind of Thanksgiving thing. Why not call your local restaurant fav to see if they’re doing something similar? Most restaurants are desperate for a way to stay afloat right now, so a ton of places that don’t traditionally deliver are offering curbside service now. It’s worth a try! 

So, there you have it. 

I hope some of these tips taught you something new, pointed you to a helpful resource, or gave you some ideas. More than anything, I just want everybody to be safe and happy this holiday. So, please -- get creative, wear your mask while you’re shopping, avoid the get-togethers, and be careful. You may save a life!

~~~~~~~TW: Eating Disorders, Weight, BMI, Medical Conditions~~~~~~~~~~~~

RANT SKIP THIS BIT IF YOU DON”T WANT TO READ 

I’d say that’s all that happened really today, but there was a comment on one of my posts that upset me not gonna lie. It said “why was this in my recommended I’m not even anorexic”. I responded to this person saying that in no way shape or form do I promote any type of disordered eating. I do not wish any type of eating disorder for anyone. 

I suffered from a restrict/binge cycle of eating that made me sick. I started this blog as a way to channel my health and eating problems in a healthy fashion that also kept me accountable for actually losing weight. 

I am 4 foot 10. To be 4′10 and 160 lbs is bad, in fact that makes me obese with a BMI of 33.4. 

I suffer from severe Adult Onset Food Allergies: see the list, its long <3

NO soy, cows milk, red meat, pork, gelatin, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, peaches, mangoes, green tea 

LIMITED chicken, eggs, turkey, sheeps milk, goats milk, broccoli, cabbages, tomatoes, gluten (wheat), hibiscus, apples, any fruit and veg with skins really

my food options are pretty limited, and it seems like every week I lose another food I thought was safe, but then I eat it and get sick. And we dont know why. 

So if you are wondering what I eat, at this point not much because a week ago I ate a soy burger, got hives and since threw up everything with soy I’ve eaten and a few days ago i had some cashew milk ice cream spiked a fever and needed an EpiPen. 

 I also suffer from a rare type of asthma (neutrophilic and eosinophilic asthma) and Hashimotos Thyroiditis ( an autoimmune condition). 

Real talk there are days I sleep on the futon in the living room because I can’t get up the stairs to my bedroom.

So honestly I’m fucked for being healthy on a good day, let alone healthy and active during a pandemic.

IN THE United Kingdom https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/ 

That’s All I got for today everyone. Sorry if its not up to my usual stuff, I’ll hopefully be back up to snuff tomorrow. I just had to get that off my chest. Good news is I’m going to a new doctor on Friday and hopefully I’ll at least get some tests ordered to figure out whats going on. I don’t know if anyone cares at this point but I’ll keep updating until I figure out no one is listening.

Ten Facts:

She abides by her code: “Never fire the first shot unless provoked or otherwise shot at.” She literally has never fired the first shot or thrown a punch unless she thought it was justified in some way.

Remy, before she joined the Argent Crusade, hunted down people who hunted down animals for sport. She had a seething hatred for folk like Hemet Nesingwary, and it’s likely she’s tried to hunt him down at one point.

Despite her sense of touch, pain, and taste being muted, Remy’s sense of hearing and smell has been amplified to compensate for the others. She can accurately tell the composition of a mixed drink by smell alone or even hear distant footsteps by putting her ear to the ground. This has largely eliminated the need for a hunting dog. She instead opts for scavengers like hyenas and carrion birds as companions.

She dabbles with Drust death magic and Gilnean witchcraft. While she’s not an expert in either art by any means, she can use them to remove curses from objects or even amplify the latent energy some items hold. This is how she creates her curios and bone charms to sell under the caravan. She’s also used the magic to peer through the eyes of her hunting companions as a way of scouting. (Who here misses Eyes of the Beast?

She’s moderately known within the Argent Crusade and folk from the crusade speak fondly of her. She’s made friends with crusader Leonid Bartholomew, “Leo” as she calls him. The two are pen pals and  exchange letters from time to time.

She was born on the Thornbolt Hunting Lodge, a home that has housed the Thornbolt lineage of game wardens, hunters, scouts, fur traders, butchers, and pathfinders for generations. Remington is listed as the heir to the estate and land, and Stormwind hasn’t had the time to demolish or potentially reclaim the estate and land, given the war and all. Remy hopes to live in it again some day, and she still holds the deed to the estate.

While she believes she would be a terrible full-time mother, Remy is great with children! Children bring out the kid in herself, and she’ll happily spend a day goofing off. She makes it a priority for the caravan to help out during Children’s Week, and the Fence Macabre is on the list of trusted benefactors for the Orgrimmar Orphanage.

For eating and drinking, Remington keeps a fake waterskin stomach in her body to catch most of the food and drink she ingests. While she can’t taste it, she can feel the texture and smell of it. She also keeps a sponge or rag in her side, just in case that food and drink leaks out from the fake waterskin stomach.

She’ll never admit it, but she’s absolutely fascinated by Void and Fel magic. Remington never had a talent for the arcane arts, and she couldn’t even cast the most basic prestidigitation spells. Fel magic is tempting. She sees her talent with a rifle as lackluster compared to stuff that can quite literally smash craters into things and make fire that burns hotter and longer than arcane magic. But she doesn’t trust herself to stay herself if she begins to dabble in Fel, so she currently avoids it.

She’s hollowed out the fingertips on her left hand, and she can unscrew the fingertips for extra things she may need. They house ink, gunpowder, an extra bullet, a tiny flash bomb, and birdseed respectively going from the thumb to pinky.

Weight Loss Tracker Days 1-3

So, I have once again. Decided to try to lose weight. AND, keep track of it for you guys! That way, you can maybe get some tips, or help me out. Or just watch for shits and/or giggles. I will only be doing this on our Tumblr and our Blog website. So, feel free to check both out. Like. Comment. All that jazz.

I will be keeping track of all I have eaten and digested. On top of that, I will also be keeping track of all I have done via excercise. Please let me know if I am wrong in certain aspects; what diet changes I can do; or work out regime I can adhere to. I am 355 lbs, and 5'9. I AM looking for big results *rather* quickly, but not to the point I will harm myself nor kill myself. But, rather, get to the point my body can WANT to work out on a daily, so I CAN go to Micky D's and enjoy what I want, without worry.

As a rule, I will NOT be consuming things after 7 pm. I usually go to sleep around 1 am, and wake up at 7 am. According to my old Air Force recruiter, you shouldn't consume anything after 6 pm. BUT, he also had me on a training regime, that entitled that I wake up at 4:45 am and go to sleep at 11 pm. So, I adjusted for the time I sleep, and when I GO to sleep, and determined 7 pm is a good cut off. If I am wrong in my adjustment, please let me know. Also, let me know if bananas or fruits are good to consume.Because I like bananas.

ANYWAY.

Day 1:

I woke up, stretched out each leg for 10 seconds on my couch, and swung my legs back and forth 10 times, by standing near a wall and swinging the leg furtherest from the wall. I then did 10 jumping jacks, 10 sit ups, and 10.. things. I dunno what to call them. It's where you're standing and bring one elbow to the opposite knee, and then continue switching limbs until you're done. I dunno. I did 10 of them.

I then took the big doggo I am staying with for a walk. I don't know the exact distance, but it wasn't too far. Probably about 7 minutes. I then took his little brother for the same distance, and then finished out a 30 minute walk using my time remaining. I was dancing on top of this.

I rode my bike around the neighborhood once. There's a lot of somewhat steep hills to go up and down on. So, that's always nice.

Every hour on the hour (When not working), I usually get up to stretch or do 10 jumping jacks.

Then, 8 hours. And 15 minutes of work. THAT'S always fun.I work a meat and seafood counter. I finish up seafood frozen mostly, help customers with fresh fish and meat, and if I have time, I help meat department do whatever they need to do. It's not an "active" job, but it keeps me busy.

Now for the food.

1 apple in the morning after all my workouts. 4 bananas (1 when I got home at 10:30pm). 1 serving of Aldi's Cheezits. (Savoritz). 2 cups of Iceberg Lettuce. 12 Grape Tomatoes. 2 servings of bacon bits. 4 oz of Chicken Breast. 1.5 cups of 1% milk. 2 cups of 1% chocolate milk. .75 cups of 2% Milk. 1 Mike's Hard Watermelon Lemonade 11.2 FL oz. 1 Ultra Monster, Green Apple Flavored, and 2 Sparkling Frosts (Sparkling Ice. Aldi Brand), and I add ketchup and thousand island sauce to my Lettuce when eating it.

It's been 3 days since I've had soda. It was a nightmare today. I THOUGHT I could make it through the day without needing caffiene, but I just couldn't. I grabbed the second best thing I could think of. If there are better alternatives, please. Let me know. I really don't wanna be relying on these Ultras too much.

This IS my last Alcoholic beverage for the time being. Will consume on celebrations, or dates.

So, this is the diet and excercise regimes I have decided to undertake. On my days off, I plan on adding 1 cup of Aldi brand Chunky soup to my salad at night, and plan on going on an extra walk during the day, but with every hour on the hour, THAT increases when I don't have work. Day 2: I went to sleep at 2 am and didn't wake up fully until 10. I can make all the excuses I want, but I'm not going to let THAT happen again. I am going to FIGHT until I win. IF, I must switch it so I wake up at 8 instead, I will do so.So far today, I have stretched out my back for 10 seconds, my legs for 10 seconds, and did the swinging thing again for 10 reps each. Then, 10 jumping jacks, 10 cross-armed thingies, and 10 sit ups. Apparently, the small black dog, was sleeping with Grand Master Pibb, so I decided to take both dogs for a walk at the same time. I counted my steps, and it was 350 steps to where we go, and therefore, 700 in total. I finished out a 15 minute walk by myself, by going up hill and meeting a dog who was on the run. OUTLAW. I also worked, once again, for 8 hours and 15 minutes. To supplement this, I had an Ultra Monster before going in. Because, I am NOT going to work without caffiene. Not right now anyway. It was also an impossibly long and hectic day, but at the end, I decided to stick around, and help out a few coworkers as well. I've had the Wife Sandwich (What I shall dub the half sandwich of Salami, Turkey, Ham, and Swiss Cheese my coworker lets me eat), 1 apple, 4 Bananas (2 after 7 pm), a serving of Cheezits (also after 7 pm), 2 cups of Chocolate Milk, 1 Cup of 1 percent Milk, 2 cups of Iceberg Lettuce, 2 Oz of Chicken Breast, 2 servings of Bacon Bits, 6 Grape Tomatoes, and two Sparkling Frosts. Boy, I was SO tempted to have .45 oz of Popcorn Chicken from the Deli today. But, I did NOT. So, Ha. I'm in it for the long haul. I am NOT stopping until I win this time. I promise it to myself, and to you all.  Day 3: Today, I started out perfectly. 30 minute walk without anybody. 10 sit ups. 10 knee things. 10 jumping jacks. 2 bananas. But then, I went to the store to pick up some energy drinks. When I got there.. I was weak. I HAD to have some Black Bean Hummus and .43 lbs of Popcorn Chicken. HAD TO. And that's all I had. One thing of Black Bean Hummus (10 servings of 45 calories each) and 2 Subway Sandwiches. Yeah. Subway Sandwiches. 2 Footlong. Italian Herb and Cheese, Spicy Italian Sandwichies. After 7 pm no less. With Pepper Jack Cheese, Tomatoes, BBQ sauce, Light Mayo, Black Olives AND Red Onions. I figured with everything else I've been doing and the fact I spend an hour raging at Crash Team Racing AND PLAYING Crash Team Racing. That I at least ended the day completely evened out. Granted. I still screwed up. BUT, no more. (Mostly because I have no money). But, I feel great. Working out and walking. Eating healthy again. I feel SO happy lately. It's been 3 days. But I feel amazing. 5 days without soda as well. It's gonna end well. It's gonna end beautifully. I can feel it. Please comment on this LONG ass post. Like. Share. Whatever you wish to do. I'm sorry it's so long. I didn't want to start this until today anyway! Because OCD.

Yugioh S2 Ep 28: Marik Ishtar Canonically Only Weighs 121 lbs

Yo, I got hella sick this week and slept for what felt like 3 straight days, so because I’m still not fully functional (like I just found french fries in my front pocket of my sweatshirt and I have no idea when over the past three days I put that in there), in celebration of finally being awake, lets watch a lucid dream put to the screen, that’s right, it’s time for Yugioh.

Last we left off, Yugi has decided to throw this heavy chain and anchor over Joey’s neck--referring of course to the golden cursed necklace and not the actual chain and anchor that is hanging above them and about to kill them (but probably weighs the same but we’ll get to that realization later). I was really hoping that we’d get to see Pharaoh pull up in the corner like a little shoulder angel and just start shouting at Joey, but apparently you can’t catch the Pharaoh Dad curse that easily.

So apparently I missed THIS the last two episodes--but there’s a huge ass Death Clock above the anchor? Seriously, there’s been a time limit this whole time!?

I would be jumping into the ocean the moment I saw this clock, I just cannot even fathom the thought of playing a 20 minute card game. Like once my older brother--a different bro than my younger bro who edits this blog, this is my Chaotic Neutral bro--decided to shove 5 different Uno decks together to create an ultimate deck that was almost entirely wilds and draw 4′s and it was such an excruciating experience, that my Mother secretly threw the game away. Forever scarred.

Anyway, now that he’s strapped with Pharaoh in a Box, finally things got weird enough that Joey snapped out of it. First time he snapped out of it was because of a dragon...second time was the puzzle...he has yet to even kind of recognize Tea strapped in a bondage chair with a giant storage unit threatening to crush her--that one doesn’t seem to bother him.

Joey has a very selective memory, but he only seems to come to for about 10 seconds at a time and mostly just sweats a lot whenever he does.

(read more under the cut)

And as Joey pulls out the same piece he once threw out a school window and into a really fancy fountain, he has a very quick flashback to Season One. Or Season Zero, depending on which version you like better. (What school has a fountain, PS? Was that a quick donation from the Kaibas so the principal could shrug off some demerits?)

And so Joey puts the puzzle back together and back over his neck.

It’s fine. Go back to throwing fireballs at your best friend, but if you litter, then that’s just way too far. I mean the show has to stretch this out four episodes anyway, so despite their endless friendship love--Joey is still possessed and we have nothing left to give him unless Yugi just starts unloading belts.

Really confused at how this magic even works or operates when the puzzle is so far away from Yugi, but maybe Pharaoh has a battery life like a wacom tablet.

Man, so there really is no way to have any privacy when that guy’s in your head huh? Like can’t even hang up the puzzle when you’re on the toilet--no--he’s just...always around. This is the worst curse.

Back on the boat, the story boarding team realized that Marik is an underage teenager and cannot drink alcohol on TV.

I mean he didn’t even have a bottle of whatever he’d drink to fill that glass (milk, I’m assuming. Marik seems like the type of person that’d put ice in his milk.) But all that was drawn next to him was just one bucket of ice. Marik’s just back here stress chewing ice like a pregnant woman.

PS I just looked up Marik’s age with a quick Google Search and can we talk about something real fast--just real fast--JK I’m gonna talk about it a lot.

+++++RATHER LONG WIKIA WORMHOLE WEIGHT DISCUSSION FEEL FREE TO SKIP++++++++++

Age‎: ‎16 <---which seems a little young, but OK, it’s an anime

Weight‎: ‎121.254 lb <------- EXCUSE ME, WIKIA!?

Height‎: ‎1.8 m ; 5.906 ft 

He is nearly 6 ft feet tall and 120 lbs!?

Y’all.

Marik HAS NO BONES.

As a reviewer, it’s not my job to go around saying if drawing Marik way too skinny for a normal human being is right or wrong, because that’s a discussion that you can find plenty of info on. I’m pretty sure the people who made this show never expected when they first drew Yugi’s crazy eyes and horrible hair that we’d have a generation that would point to it and say “that’s hot”

And I’m not saying any of these characters have eating problems either, because we’ve seen all of them eat healthy meals. The shocking thing is that they gave these fake characters--remember these aren’t real people, they are cartoons--a specific numeric weight.

Blood type I expect, other random anime tidbits I expect--but weight seems super duper random and so awkward. Like, why do we have this information? Was it on a card or something? Like did the intern who came up with this weight number even research like...how much a normal human weighs??? Did they pull this number out of their ass???? None of these numbers make any sense, and they have these for apparently every single person who has appeared on the show. It’s incredible.

Man, Marik’s still wearing Baby Gap over there. Which...that explains the very small hoodie.

...one sec, let me look at the stats on Yugi.

Weight‎: ‎92.594 lb Height‎: ‎1.53 m ; 5.02 ft

OH NO. Who did this!?

He can’t even ride a roller coaster yet! Well, that explains a lot of the need for so many belts on this show. Yugi hasn’t hit the big triple digits yet.

Oh, Yugi.

And since we’re talking about numbers, lets talk about that puzzle now that we’ve talked about Yugi’s body weight. And like, lets be real--this is a cartoon and so of course it weighs magically nothing in the physics of the show...but lets just see, using math, how much this is if a 7 inch isosceles pyramid were made of solid gold (assuming that there is no gap in the middle, because that’s the way I’ve personally interpreted it.)

Now I’m gonna throw out a number and if you disagree, that’s cool beans and I don’t care, I was an art major, leave your math in the comments. But my math: It’s roughly 60 lbs. Some people online say it would only be 2 kilo’s but I don’t know what planet they’re from. Gold is .7 lbs a volumetric inch

Of course this weight also depends on how heavy the chain is, but I mean...the chain is stronger than Joey Wheeler and Tristan combined hitting it repeatedly with a pipe. It’s gotta be a car-towing/superlock chain.

a 20 inch heavy duty tow/lock chain is like 15 lbs, from what I see on Ebay.

So that pyramid necklace, indeed, is 75 lbs--4/5 of Yugi’s weight.

Now lets say you think there’s a gap in the middle and each piece has about a half-inch thickness, we’ll subtract about 43 lbs.

That’s still a 32 lb necklace guys, it’s about a third his weight!

Now lets say this was gold plated--first off, it’s not. But, lets say it’s entirely copper AND it’s hollow. That necklace is still 7 lbs with a 15 lb chain which is 23 lbs.

So, in all, Yugi actually weighs more than most people on this show--but it’s only because of the necklace, meaning the strongest thing in Yugioh, other than the endearing power of friendship between Joey and Yugi, is Yugi’s neck.

I also looked up Seto Kaiba and it didn’t say his weight right away but it did say this

Favorite Food‎: ‎Filet Mignon with Foie Gras Sauce

Damn.

Why does Seto Kaiba crave freakin ducks? Someone please give this poor child some candy. Give the whole cast candy.

+++++++END RANT OF EVERYONE’S WEIGHT ACCORDING TO WIKIA. I’M NOT EVEN SURE WHY WE KNOW THIS?+++++++

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, the boys are still babysitting Serenity, who has the pure muscle mass of 108 lbs, which is nearly 20 lbs more than Yugi Muto and only about 10 lbs less than Marik Ishtar.

She could probably lift Marik Ishtar. TBH with OP buff Wheeler stats like that, Serenity could probably punch out half the cast and does not need babysitting.

Duke Devlin is still following them around. I don’t really know why. No thugs are after Duke. Duke can just leave whenever he wants to, but he’s either so fascinated by Tristan’s predicament, or so enamored by Serenity’s soft hair and beautiful bandages, that he’s decided to follow along like Bakura in Season 1.

Except Bakura in Season 1 followed along because he wanted to screw them all, I’m pretty sure Duke won’t be doing that because I’m fairly positive that dice earring he got off of Etsy isn’t a millennium earring. I’m fairly positive he isn’t going to randomly kill everybody. I don’t know if this show could handle yet another villain dead set on destroying the world.

This love triangle between Tristan, and a girl who I didn’t think was real in S1, and Duke Devlin, the guy who was in a one-off at the end of S1 when the season should have already ended. So this is happening now. Interesting choice, show.

Serenity is like 12, right? Like her brother’s 14-16 and she’s like 11-13?

This show has a cast mostly full of people who are all the same age yet they keep shipping the few people that are either too young or waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too old. (except for Yugi and Joey, of course, who are the same age)

Duke Devlin, with this newly found responsibility, immediately walks a blind person into the street.

Anyways, speaking of ships that are way too old for this show, look who’s here and driving the dumbest convertible I’ve ever seen drawn.

And on the other side of town, the show edited out most of this violent nonsense for me.

Mai’s car, straight from fisher-price. I can’t stop looking at it.

So um...in the time it took to get Tristan, pick him up, turn around, and then drive here it was like...a 2 minute drive?

But, youknow, consider the Kaiba’s perspective. You’re watching this effed up duel straight from the bowels of Satan, and you hear a car pull up, and you’re like “oh finally, someone’s come to help us” and you turn around, and it’s a blue clown car full of Mai Valentine, Tristan, that random horny kid from the class across the hall, and some blind woman?

So Mokuba, who weighs less than one millennium puzzle at 61 lbs, actually makes an attempt to explain everything as quickly as possible and this is like the fourth time this kid has had to explain to someone else what the hell is going on.

Ah, and now everyone’s a bystander.

Almost the entire cast is here now, right? At least Yugi will die with an audience.

Bandit Keith weighs 187 lbs, PS. He is, so far, the only character I’ve checked who weighs more than Yugi with the necklace on.

Anyway, their weights are all awkwardly available online and I’ll probably go back to forgetting that this random info exists (much like I consistently forget that Seto is only 6′1″ although he’s drawn like he’s 8 ft tall)

Next week on Yugioh:

So how much does Yugi’s hair weigh when all that product is on there? Does Seto ever eat that Filet Mignon he craves so bad? Is Mai in fact renting that car and does it get busted here in the Abandoned Warehouse neighborhood?

Weigh-in: 309lbs (-1.4lbs) Day 8 August 22, 2019

Fuck dude. Really? I'm almost upset that I'm down 1.4. Because now it puts me in a real predicament. I was fully expecting to gain weight and have an excuse not to do IF anymore. Just to recap, I've been on the fence about whether this plan is right for me. Mostly because I don't like feeling hungry most of the day and when I'm hungry I tend to feel irritated and grouchy.

Let me tell you, I've spared you the details of a lot of what I've been eating out of embarassment. Just yesterday, I had a whole publix chicken tender sub (if you're not from Florida, you probably don't understand how unhealthy this is). It's literally big fried chicken tenders on bread with mayo and cheese plus other veggies. It's my guiltiest pleasure and when I finish one, I'm so full that I hate myself. I believe they recently released the caloric value and it's almost 2000 calories on its own.

So that was my lunch. Then for a snack I made 1 and a half bagel with cream cheese. Went to play hockey. Then after that I went to Wendy's and got a double bacon cheeseburger with fries and a frosty.

Yesterday, my wife made me a really solid lunch. A big turkey sandwich, a bunch of raspberries, a protein bar. But after work I was still hungry and stopped by BK and got myself a whopper AND a crispy chicken sandwhich. Previous days I've had buffalo wings, and an entire appetizer of fried pickles. Chic fil a. Mcdonalds. Popeyes. Burritos and tortilla chips.

My point is, I ate like a fucking pig even for my standards. Fast food. Terrible shit. I'm telling you, I really wanted to test the limit and see if IF on its own (without calorie budgeting etc) could result in weight loss. And as you can see I really did push the limit. No wonder I was expecting to gain weight. But I lost 1.4 lbs. And now it begs the question: If I had been eating more like a decent human being for the past week, how much more could I have lost?

So this is my predicament. Do I sign on for another week of this? Or switch over to low carb? Or transition to low carb while doing IF?? Fuck. Idk man. I just don't know. Anyway, it's 6:32am and I'm gonna be late for work, so I need to end this post now. I'll update you later.

BMW

PS: It's 1:02pm and I still haven't eaten so I'm about to have a conniption fit. Ok here's what I'm going to do... I'm going to do low carb+ IF combined and see how that goes. I want to see if I'll adjust to the fasting side effects (hunger, fogginess, irritability etc) and if it stays bad this week, then I'll just continue with low carb only. Also, since I know low carb works great on its own, I figure it's a good fall back on those days where I play hockey at night and need to eat outside of my window.

I haven't decided if I'm going to start straight up with Atkins' induction or start straight on phase 2. The difference is that you can eat nuts/seeds, some fruit (coconut, berries, cherries, cantaloupe, honeydew). And beans/ legumes like chickpeas & hummus, edamame, peas etc. I'll prob skip to phase two unless I read new info that says it's a bad idea. I can't imagine I'll be eating a whole lot of that anyway. Other than that, it's veggies, meat, cheese, and eggs. I'm looking forward to it. I mean if I lost 1.5 lbs eating like complete shit on IF, combining that with low-carb might be cray. We shall see.

Our Three Favorite Spots For Everything added to Google Docs

Our Three Favorite Spots For Everything

We think about food a lot. Like, a lot a lot. And while we have plenty of guides to great first date spots and lists of literally every single sports bar in LA, sometimes, what’s really on our minds are specific dishes. Singular foods that, much like a Kylie Minogue love interest, we just can’t get out of our heads.

And thus, Our Three Favorite Spots For Everything was born. Each week, we give a different staff member free rein to write about the very best spots for those very dishes - from gluten-free pastas to big ol’ chicken parms, and everything in between. This is our very specific field guide to eating in LA, and we’ll be updating it regularly, so check back often for more inside looks at what’s going on in our brains (spoiler alert: it’s mostly just cured meat plates and this video of Kim Cattrall scatting).

three spots for: lobster rolls

Chances are that within approximately seven minutes of meeting LA Staff Writer Brett Keating, you’re going to know two things about him: He grew up in Massachusetts, and he has strong feelings about seafood. (Don’t get him started on how to pronounce “scallop.”) So needless to say, he’s very critical when it comes to lobster rolls. Here are his three favorites in town.

 Jakob Layman Broad Street Oyster Co. $ $ $ $ American ,  Seafood  in  Malibu $$$$ 23359 Pacific Coast Hwy 8.6 /10

I always thought only tasteless yuppies from Connecticut preferred hot-buttered lobster rolls to cold ones with mayo, until I tried the one at Broad Street Oyster Co. in Malibu. The roll is perfectly toasted, the lobster is fresh and not at all spongey, and the clarified butter takes it to another level.

 Jakob Layman Found Oyster $ $ $ $ Seafood  in  East Hollywood $$$$ 4880 Fountain Ave Not

Rated

Yet

Found Oyster does quite literally everything right - including their lobster bisque/lobster roll mashup, a fantastic, cayenne-heavy version that I’ll happily sacrifice a couple orange-ish stains on my shirt for.

 Jakob Layman Connie And Ted's $ $ $ $ Seafood  in  West Hollywood $$$$ 8171 Santa Monica Blvd. 8.3 /10

The most substantial roll of the three, the cold roll at Connie and Ted’s is a classic. It’s heavy on knuckle meat (the premier lobster roll meat, if you ask me), and lightly dressed with mayo. I absolutely douse it with lemon, too.

three spots for: eating alone

Editorial Operations Manager Jess Basser Sanders enjoys being alone. It’s why she wrote guides like Where To Get Some Pasta And A Glass Of Wine By Yourself, and shows up to work an hour-and-a-half before anyone else. So as a self-proclaimed master of solitude, here are her three favorite places to eat by herself. Don’t try to join her.

 Jakob Layman Hippo $ $ $ $ American ,  Italian  in  Highland Park $$$$ 5918 N Figueroa St 8.2 /10

If I had a spirit meal, it would be pasta and a glass of wine (OK, sometimes I swap in a martini). It’s fun to do with a friend, but secretly, I love it when everyone else is busy. If I’m in Highland Park, my preferred solo meal is at Hippo. You can almost always walk in and sit at the bar. Bring a book, try one of the wines on tap, and order whatever pasta they’re serving that night.

Pho 2000 $ $ $ $ Vietnamese  in  Koreatown $$$$ 215 N Western Ave Not

Rated

Yet

Years ago, I worked in Koreatown at a job I hated. So whenever I could escape for lunch, I’d jump in my car and drive to Pho 2000 on Olympic. I’d get the oxtail pho and spend an hour slurping in silence, scrolling through my phone looking at job postings. Now I just go back for the pho - and the nostalgia.

 Jakob Layman Gjusta $ $ $ $ American ,  Sandwiches ,  Deli  in  Venice $$$$ 320 Sunset Ave 8.7 /10

I used to live in Venice, and while I miss nothing about weaving my way through the tourists every weekend, I do miss Gjusta like it’s an actual real person. One reason is that I can no longer use this place the way the locals do - walking in at 2pm on a weekday, ordering a tuna conserva or tomato confit or smoked fish plate without having to wait, and eating it while leaning on the counter, knowing you’ve got life all figured out.

three spots for: gluten-free pasta

We talk about pasta a lot at Infatuation LA HQ, which makes life in the office pretty hard for our gluten-free LA Marketing Manager Marika Jayne. But rather than getting mad, she got busy - putting together this list of her favorite spots for gluten-free pasta in LA.

 Holly Liss Osteria La Buca $ $ $ $ Italian  in  Hancock Park ,  Hollywood ,  Larchmont $$$$ 5210 Melrose Ave 8.2 /10

The carbonara at Osteria La Buca is one of the best plates of pasta in LA, and just because there may not be any gluten in the noodles doesn’t make it any less great.

 Jakob Layman All Time $ $ $ $ American  in  Los Feliz $$$$ 2040 Hillhurst Ave 8.9 /10

All Time doesn’t always have gluten-free pasta, but when they do, you better get after it. Their gnocchi with lemon parm can only be described with three words: Potato pasta pillows.

 Benji Dell Jones Hollywood $ $ $ $ Italian  in  West Hollywood $$$$ 7205 Santa Monica Blvd. 8.3 /10

There’s no reason to be sad about being gluten-free at Jones Hollywood, because almost any pasta can be made gluten-free, and they’re all excellent. It doesn’t hurt to get a Dirty Sue martini, either.

three spots for: Japanese breakfast

On the rare occasion LA Editorial Assistant Kat Hong wakes up at an “acceptable time” for breakfast, there’s only one choice for her - 朝ごはん, a.k.a. asagohan, the glorious, perfect meal known as Japanese breakfast (and no, we’re not talking about Michelle Zauner’s indie rock alias). Here are her three spots for the most important meal of the day.

 Azay $ $ $ $ Japanese ,  French  in  Little Tokyo $$$$ 226 E 1st St Not

Rated

Yet

Azay is my go-to weekend spot. There’s nothing better than grabbing a corner seat on a Sunday morning, digging into their simple, homestyle breakfast set (and realistically, also whatever special they have that day) and going on Twitter while pretending to read.

 Jakob Layman Orsa & Winston $$$$ 122 W 4th St

For my birthday last year, I called out of work and treated myself to Orsa & Winston’s breakfast omakase. I like that it’s not very traditional - expect dishes like pear and apple salad, and miso-based minestrone - plus, they gave me a free pot of tea even though I didn’t even mention the birthday thing?

Fukagawa Soba & Udon $$$$ 1630 W. Redondo Beach Blvd. Ste 6

While I love Orsa & Winston’s non-traditional take, sometimes, I just want a classic Japanese Breakfast. And my favorite place for that is Fukagawa in Gardena. It’s a bit of a journey from my apartment in [REDACTED], but the D Combo, which comes with grilled fish and natto (very important!!), reminds me of the mornings when I lived in Japan.

three spots for: sandwiches so big you’ll need a nap

LA Editor James Montgomery loves big sandwiches and even bigger naps, so whenever he can combine the two, it’s gonna be a good day (though not necessarily a productive one). Here are his favorite spots for sandwiches so filling they make you sleepy.

 Jakob Layman Eastside Market Italian Deli $ $ $ $ Sandwiches ,  Italian  in  Chinatown ,  Downtown LA $$$$ 1013 Alpine St Not

Rated

Yet

There’s a lot to love at Eastside Market Italian Deli, but if I’m looking to conk out for an afternoon, there’s nothing better than their massive D.A. Special, approximately 15 lbs of sausage, meatballs, roast beef, and pastrami on crunchy bread. Sweet dreams!

 All Day Baby $ $ $ $ American  in  Silver Lake $$$$ 3200 W Sunset Blvd Not

Rated

Yet

Silver Lake’s All Day Baby is pretty new, but their smoked beef and cheese sandwich - tender beef, creamy cheese sauce, and horseradish mayo on a soft brioche roll - is a sleep aid as timeless as counting sheep.

 Jakob Layman Wax Paper $ $ $ $ Sandwiches  in  Chinatown $$$$ 736 N Broadway Not

Rated

Yet

The sandwiches at Wax Paper are named after NPR hosts, which already sounds pretty sleepy, but their Larry Mantle takes it to another level - especially if you like bologna, salami, pickled peppers, and dozing off on your drive home.

three spots for: cold brew

If there’s one thing LA Staff Writer Brett Keating is known for around the office (aside from his obnoxious support for the Patriots), it’s coffee consumption. And until he gets that cold brew tap installed at his desk, he’s going to keep pursuing his mission of finding LA’s best cold brew.

Menotti's Coffee Stop $$$$ 56 Windward Ave

If you think all cold brew tastes the same, I’m very sorry for all the mediocre versions you’ve been drinking. And also, head straight to Menotti’s in Venice. They pick their favorite cold brew batches, and send them off to a brewery to have them kegged for a perfect nitro brew.

 Modern Times Beer: The Dankness Dojo $ $ $ $ Bar Food ,  Vegetarian  in  Downtown LA $$$$ 832 S. Olive St. Not

Rated

Yet

Speaking of breweries, you probably know that Modern Times’ Dankness Dojo is one of the best in LA County. But they also roast their own coffee, and it’s great - and also reasonably priced. Get it without ice.

 Spoon By H $ $ $ $ Korean ,  Dessert  in  Beverly Grove ,  Hancock Park $$$$ 7158 Beverly Blvd 8.7 /10

Cold brew ice cubes are a discovery akin to that moment you learned your AirPods case doubles as a phone stand. Ask for them with your fantastic iced coffee at Spoon By H, where they come in the shape of coffee beans.

three spots for: Excellent table bread

Does everything taste better if it’s free? Perhaps. LA Editorial Lead Brant Cox argues that a basket of great table bread has the power to change the course of an entire meal - if not your life. Hyperbole? Not at these spots.

 Jakob Layman Jones Hollywood $ $ $ $ Italian  in  West Hollywood $$$$ 7205 Santa Monica Blvd. 8.3 /10

With solid pizza, incredible dessert, and our favorite martini in town, there are all sorts of reasons to be hanging at Jones Hollywood - and that includes their table bread. It’s basically seasoned flatbread, but when you dip it into some balsamic and olive oil, you’ll forget you came here to eat dinner.

 Jakob Layman Craig's $ $ $ $ American ,  Italian  in  West Hollywood $$$$ 8826 Melrose Ave 5.1 /10

Craig’s in West Hollywood is probably the most celebrity-packed restaurant in LA, but unfortunately, the food is absolutely awful. That makes filling up on their incredible table bread even more of a requirement.

 Holly Liss C&O Trattoria $ $ $ $ Italian  in  Marina Del Rey ,  Venice $$$$ 31 Washington Blvd 7.1 /10

If free carbohydrates come with a warning from the waitstaff to “please exercise restraint,” you know they’re going to be good. And make no mistake, the free garlic knots they hand out at C&O Trattoria are tremendous.

three spots for: french onion soup

When you hear the words “pinnacle of human creation,” what comes to mind? The immortality of the written word? The convenience of indoor plumbing? Dev Patel’s face? Well, if you’re LA Editorial Assistant Kat Hong, you think of French onion soup. Here are her favorite spots in LA to fire up a hot, hot bowl:

 Benji Dell Petit Trois $ $ $ $ French  in  Hollywood $$$$ 718 N. Highland Ave. 8.3 /10

You literally can’t talk about French onion soup without mentioning Petit Trois. Their version is mega-traditional, which means it comes full of caramelized onions, toasted baguette bits, and enough gruyère to forget about the time I misquoted the “Myth of Sisyphus” in the company-wide Slack channel.

 Jakob Layman Oriel $ $ $ $ French ,  Wine Bar  in  Chinatown $$$$ 1135 North Alameda Street 7.9 /10

I am fully obsessed with Oriel, to the point that I once made this photo of their dining room the background on both my phone and my work computer. And while I will happily eat everything on the menu here, their F.O.S. is trèèèèèèès bon.

Trader Joe's $$$$ 8611 Santa Monica Blvd.

Trader Joe’s: Frozen section. Two-pack. Thank me later.

three spots for: A big ol’ chicken parm

LA Editor James Montgomery isn’t here to take part in your small-plate scam. All he wants is some good ol’ gut-busting chicken parm, the kind that’s buried beneath a sheet of bubbling cheese, drowned in a sea of marinara, and so big that the accompanying side of pasta feels like a cruel joke. Here are three spots that do it right.

 Dan Tana's $ $ $ $ Italian  in  West Hollywood $$$$ 9071 Santa Monica Blvd 8.6 /10

Ordering the chicken parm at Dan Tana’s is practically a prerequisite, right up there with getting hit on by Ron Jeremy. It’s cheesy, saucy, and the more martinis you drink, the better it gets. And you can say the same thing about Ron.

Little Toni's $$$$ 4745 Lankershim Blvd

It’s certainly not as well-known as other old-school Italian spots, but Little Toni’s in North Hollywood makes a chicken parm that I’d put up against any in the city. You will have leftovers.

 Jakob Layman Dear John's $ $ $ $ American ,  Steaks ,  Italian  in  Culver City $$$$ 11208 Culver Blvd 8.0 /10

The rebooted Dear John’s in Culver City pays homage to Old Hollywood, so I expected them to do a mean chicken parm - I didn’t expect it to be stuffed with cheese, though.

three spots for: a whole damn fish

LA Staff Writer Brett Keating grew up in New England, so he’s basically always talking about Cape Cod. It also means that he spends a lot of time thinking about seafood, and if he sees a whole fish on the menu, he orders it. So here are the best places in LA when you want to pretend you’re a grizzly bear and eat a fish whole.

 Jakob Layman Here's Looking at You $ $ $ $ American ,  Seafood  in  Koreatown $$$$ 3901 W 6th St 8.3 /10

Here’s Looking At You’s whole-cooked sea bream comes coated in what are basically green curry Rice Krispies, and it’s fantastic because of it. And because it comes with a sauce made from coconut caramel.

Cheko El Rey Del Sarandeado $ $ $ $ Seafood  in  Long Beach $$$$ 343 E Market St 8.4 /10

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by options at Cheko El Rey Del Sarandeado. But the Mexican seafood spot in Long Beach’s whole-grilled snook - flayed open, and grilled over low heat - reigns supreme.

 Jakob Layman Dudley Market $ $ $ $ American ,  Seafood  in  Venice $$$$ 9 Dudley Ave 8.5 /10

Reasons I’ve gone to Dudley Market: The wine list, the clam and pork toast, to prove to my boss that it’s really true they own a fishing boat (it is). And in addition to all those, anytime it’s on the menu, I get the Vietnamese-inspired fried rockfish with nuoc cham.

three spots for: pad thai

LA Marketing Manager Marika Jayne has a lot of opinions about a lot of foods - but she’s most passionate about pad thai, a food that can be eaten for any reason, at any time of day. Here are the best places to eat the ubiquitous Thai dish, in her words.

 Luv2Eat Thai Bistro $ $ $ $ Thai  in  Hollywood $$$$ 6660 W. Sunset Blvd. 8.7 /10

No matter what time of day, if you’re alone or in a group, or if you go to the restaurant or get delivery, Luv2Eat Thai is never going to let you down. They have the best pad thai in LA, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Get it with the duck.

 Jakob Layman Jitlada $ $ $ $ Thai  in  East Hollywood ,  Thai Town $$$$ 5233 Sunset Blvd. 9.4 /10

You’ll be tempted to try everything at Jitlada, and you should, but don’t skip the pad thai just because you see it on so many menus. They do it very, very well, and it’s also a great palate-neutralizer after their extremely spicy Jungle Curry.

 The Original Hoy-Ka Hollywood $ $ $ $ Thai  in  East Hollywood ,  Hollywood $$$$ 5908 Sunset Blvd. 8.1 /10

Not only is The Original Hoy-Ka a great lunch option in Hollywood, the portions of the pad thai (and almost everything) are big enough to become your dinner that night, too.

three spots for: tsukemen

LA Editor James Montgomery grew up in Florida, so whenever he mentions dipping, we assume he means tobacco. But sometimes, he’s actually talking about dipping noodles - a.k.a. tsukemen, noodles dunked in a bowl of rich broth. And while that sounds simple, good tsukemen is actually tough to pull off. Both the noodles and the broth must be perfect, because there’s nowhere to hide the shortcomings of either. Here are three places that get pretty close to perfection.

 Tsujita Tsujita LA $ $ $ $ Japanese ,  Ramen  in  West LA $$$$ 2057 Sawtelle Blvd 8.3 /10

You will always wait at Tsujita, but at least you’re waiting for LA’s best tsukemen - their rich and flavorful cha siu, with BBQ pork over cold noodles.

Palms Ramen Yumeya $$$$ 11127 Palms Blvd

Palms Ramen Yumeya is an unassuming spot, but their tonkotsu tsukemen definitely deserves accolades. Plus, if you ask for extra garlic (which you should), they’ll deliver fresh cloves - and a garlic press - right to your table. Go wild.

Menya Musashi $ $ $ $ Japanese  in  Sawtelle Japantown $$$$ 2012 Sawtelle Blvd Not

Rated

Yet

Menya Musashi is located on the same stretch of Sawtelle as Tsujita, which is a pretty bold move. Good thing their tsukemen is up to par, especially if you order it with pork belly, thin pork katsu, and a soft-boiled egg.

three spots for: pastries

Editorial Operations Manager Jess Basser Sanders has a unique role. She works in our LA office, but has to be on our New York office’s time. So she starts work every morning around the same time everyone else is waking up. But as such, she’s learned a lot about LA mornings. Specifically, where to find the best baked goods in the city.

 Konbi $ $ $ $ Japanese ,  Sandwiches  in  Echo Park $$$$ 1463 W Sunset Blvd 8.0 /10

My favorite time of day at Konbi is 8:56am. It’s the perfect time to sit at the counter, order a breakfast set, and put dibs on a couple of LA’s best pastries right as they come out of the oven. Don’t try and choose between the plain and chocolate croissants - just get both.

 Jakob Layman Huge Tree Pastry $ $ $ $ Chinese ,  Taiwanese  in  Monterey Park $$$$ 423 N Atlantic Blvd # 105-106 8.0 /10

I am not the kind of person who would a) order a glass of milk or b) dip anything in it, but I make an exception for Huge Tree Pastry in Monterey Park, where the Taiwanese donuts are not complete without a mug of house-made soy milk to dip them in.

 Jakob Layman Lodge Bread Co $ $ $ $ Cafe/Bakery  in  Culver City $$$$ 11918 W Washington Blvd 8.7 /10

I don’t have any kids, but every time I order the cinnamon bun from Lodge Bread Co. I get a little insight into what the parent life might be like. It’s almost as heavy as a newborn (my arm gets sore carrying it home), and wherever it goes, people want to take photos of it.

three spots for: khao soi

In the waking moments of your day, what’s the first thing that crosses your mind? Is it the overbearing work project you’ve been putting off all week? Why Rose didn’t pull Jack onto the door with her? Lizzo? If you’re LA Editorial Lead Brant Cox, the answer is khao soi. And more specifically, how soon he can get the curry noodle soup into his body. Here are his three favorite spots when he needs to scratch the itch.

 Jakob Layman Northern Thai Food Club $ $ $ $ Thai  in  East Hollywood ,  Thai Town $$$$ 5301 Sunset Blvd #11 8.3 /10

For me, it’s the creamy coconut broth that usually makes a khao soi. At Northern Thai Food Club, it’s the giant leg of chicken that’s so perfectly-cooked the meat falls off with one brush of the fork.

 Jakob Layman Pailin Thai Cuisine $ $ $ $ Thai  in  Hollywood ,  Thai Town $$$$ 5621 Hollywood Blvd 8.1 /10

You could pass Pailin 100 times and not notice it. But you can eat Pailin’s khao soi once and be changed forever.

 Spicy BBQ Restaurant $ $ $ $ Thai  in  East Hollywood $$$$ 5101 Santa Monica Blvd 8.0 /10

I once ate Spicy BBQ’s khao soi three times in one day. And yes, that’s a brag.

three spots for: prosciutto

How do you measure luxury? In bubble baths and champagne? In sports cars named after arachnids? Well, if you’re Infatuation LA Editorial Assistant Kat Hong, it’s all about cured meat. If you’re looking to get in touch with your inner George Alexander Louis, she’s got three places that serve prosciutto so good, you’ll feel like a little prince.

 Phillip Guerette The Factory Kitchen $ $ $ $ Italian  in  Arts District $$$$ 1306 Factory Place 8.6 /10

I’m not particularly religious, but if there was any indication that God exists, it would be the prosciutto + fried dough + burrata behemoth from Factory Kitchen.

 Jakob Layman Larchmont Wine and Cheese $ $ $ $ Sandwiches  in  Larchmont $$$$ 223 N. Larchmont Blvd. 8.9 /10

For the days you wake up with a fever and the only prescription is more prosciutto, head to Larchmont Village Wine and Cheese and get the #5 sandwich.

Cookbook $$$$ 1549 Echo Park Ave

I once left Cookbook with five packages of their prosciutto. Maybe that was overkill, or perhaps pure hubris. Either way, it was worth it.

three spots for: drinking a martini tonight

Is there ever a bad time to get a martini? Not really. But the best time is definitely tonight. Here’s where LA Staff Writer Brett Keating is headed as soon as he’s done here.

 Freedman’s $ $ $ $ Deli  in  Silver Lake $$$$ 2619 Sunset Blvd 8.4 /10

Sure, Freedman’s has great food. But their Classic Martini is the real reason I go to this Silver Lake spot twice a week.

 Jones Hollywood $ $ $ $ Italian  in  West Hollywood $$$$ 7205 Santa Monica Blvd. 8.3 /10

Jones has the best martini in West Hollywood, and no matter what restaurant I’m driving back from, they’re never too far out of the way.

 Chez Jay $ $ $ $ Santa Monica $$$$ 1657 Ocean Ave Not

Rated

Chez Jay’s martini isn’t going to blow you away. But it’s the size of a 7-Eleven Slurpee, so anytime quantity is more important than quality, this is where I go.

5.22.19-5.30.19

5.22.19 - Mom and I did yardwork! Dad cut down more of the front yard trees so mom and I worked on chopping down some branches even more and putting it into the lawn bags. I did all the filling and taking out the trash and putting all the lawn bags and trash cans to the curb. I think we filled like 7 lawn bags? Yeah, and to the brim!!! Was so sweaty. Manong picked up Marv and manang and they got mom and I  tropical smoothies (magno magic) hehehe.

5.23.19 - Marvin’s honor night!! Got ready and the whole fam went to the peak. Marv got honor roll! So proud of him. He was disappointed because he realized he could’ve done better, but we were happy for him. Saw Mr. Vangelder and hugged him! Lol After the honor night we had dinner at Mcdonald’s. Then we went home and dad got working on the pilot again xD Sibs and I played Overcooked 2! lol

5.24.19 - Got up and ready to go to Detroit for my OHS clearance. Manang came as well. Dad walked me up to the 4th floor and I got ready. Mom, dad, and manang left and got pho. Whole process was like 1.5 hours. Did my N95 mask fitting then worked out on drug test. Good thing I had all my papers since that sped up the process (I think?). Then after that I did my vision test and boy oh boy my left eye is SHOT! I couldn’t even see the big E in the vision test thing. I just knew it was an E but I couldn’t see it. It was that blurry!!! But my right eye is good. I could see the second to the last line to the bottom. Sigh.... after that I got my blood drawn. Forgot what test it was for tho. Maybe nicotine test? Before I got my blood drawn tho, I talked the girl that was with me during the whole process on the 4th floor. Her name is Pauline but she goes by Pau! She’ll be working on the unit below mine and she’s also a new grad!!!! She graduated in 2017, but took a break. Didn’t take the NCLEX until last year in March which was just like me! I graduated last year, took a break, and then took the NCLEX in march of this year! So we’ll be starting on the same day so it’s nice to have a friend. After the OHS clearance, I got picked up and we went to the basement parking so dad could sleep before work. Dropped him off at 4 then we went to get Marv.. Stopped by Mcdonald’s on Sibley and manang treated me to a quarter pounder (thank God for 2 for $5). Got marv then went home. I took a nap and then went down at like 8? chilled in the living room. Manong went to pick up dad.

5.26.19 church! Mom made burgers and they were so good. The patties were a little spicy, but they had cheese. It was nice and thicc too!! I believe a box of 6 patties was $7. Def worth it. Anywho, church was not busy for once lol got to talk to tita Grace for a bit. After eating I just played piano and then played with Johanna. Then the sibs and I left for Josh’s. Stopped by Kroger where I bought 2 iced teas and a 1.5 lb bag of cherries for mom. Got to Josh’s and ate! Lots of good food (chinese). Jod, Si, PJ, Jovel, then Sam came. Had so much fun playing overcooked (the first one), and then overcooked 2, pusoy dos, mario kart. After all that we played Detroit and we took turns on different stories. Joseph did Connor, Jovel did Markus, Sam did Kara, and then Marv did Markus again (with Carl chapter). Went home at 1:30 a.m. and mom and dad were watching a good indian movie. They were laughing so hard!

5.27.19 - Happy Memorial Day!!! Got up super late lol. After eating lunch with the fam, and preparing dad’s stuff for work, manang and I cleaned and washed dishes. Then we got ready to go with friends to CANADA! Jod picked us up around 5. Made our way to tita tess’. We talked about the My Body My choice movement, abortion, and just the girls of today. It was nice to talk about it with Jodan and we all agree. Anyway, got to tita tess’ and went inside to say hi. Ate lumpia and then left. Laughed so hard with Sam (jokes: sam drinking too much water. Sam changing his shorts to pants. Sam carrying all his stuff so loosely into the car). Got to Bikes and Coffee and PJ was already there. It was Sam’s first time there. Got in and Si gave manang and I an iced coffee to share. played 6 games of pusoy dos, and we all won one game each. Si told sam his shirt was too tight for him and we were all laughing saying it was his muscles lol. Anywho, left Bikes at 7. PJ and I rode with Si, and sam and manang rode with Jod. Movement was happening in Detroit so it was busy and loud. Going to Canada was so smooth! Although coming back it was of course busier. Got through the border and made our way to Jade Chinese food. Laughed so hard because we ordered dim sum. When our server finally came she was carrying like 4 stacks of teh steamers. We were all like “WoOoOoOah!“ and then she places only one steamer and we were laughing so hard thinking they were all for us xD She was even smiling. We honestly laughed so hard at dinner lol. After that we went to Presotea! UGH it was SO GOOD. The place was so nice too!!!! I ordered a taro milk tea with bubbles. Manang got a mango (cream) cheese drink and it was also SO GOOD. Ugh. Their large drinks are so big!! Watched a replay of the warrrios and raptors while playing pusoy dos. Then it was time to go home. Manang and I rode with Jod. Once we got to the American border it was so funny! It was an older white gentleman (kinda looked like Mary’s dad). He was like how do you all know each other and jod was saying we were childhood friends. Then he asks where did you go in Canada and jod said had dinner at a chinese restaurant called Jade. Then the guy asked was it good? lol Then he asked if we were bringing anything over and we said no. and then he followed up with “no leftovers?” lol and I was like oh yeah just one! And then he looked at me (because my window was down cuz it had to be) and he said to me, “where’s your date?” and I was like “Oh I’m the third wheel!” lolJod was like oh we’re childhood friends, we’re like brother and sister. and the guy was like “I’m sure he doesn’t mind having two beautiful ladies in his car xD Dismissing anything jod said LOLLL Jod was just quiet like nervous laughter xD (we were all nervous laughing lolllll Got home and yeah! fun dayyyy

5.28.19 - Dad and I did yard work in the front. Well before that I watched Joseph: Kind of Dreams. Sigh, they really need to make a graet, accurate movie about Joseph because the Dreamworks one was ehh. Anyway, dad and I worked in the front cutting down the chopped down tree bush with the cleavers xD It was a hot, humid day so we were sweating. Had a good conversation tho!!! Tried bringing up wanting to date (not like asking permission, but letting him know) but couldn’t lol. During that time, Ne called because she was gonna pick up manang but in amidst that mom asked about Ne’s bf and boy oh boy they had a long convo because Ne broke up! Anyway, dad and I worked from 2-5ish. I filled 3 lawn bags with the clippings. Then I went inside and we ate nilaga with beans (my fave!) also had steak. Then manang and ne came in time and we all ate together. During and after dinner Ne, mom, and dad talked more about the breakup and boy oh boy we were all triggered at what Ne’s ex said to her smh. Blessing in disguise! I just washed dishes then it was decided that manang, Marv and I would sleepover ne’s. Went to ne’s, ate some oreos, watched TV, then played like 2 games of Overcooked. Went to bed at like 1:50.

5.29.19 - Stayed at ne’s after ne, manang, and Marv left. Woke up at 9:40 and surprisingly got up lol. Cooked myself the one pack of ramen left, and 3 boiled eggs. Had breakfast then cleaned ne’s house. First I worked on tidying the living room. I even sprayed with febreeze. Then I worked on the kitchen. Washed dishes, put her already-washed dishes from the dishwasher away, and sprayed and wiped down the counters and stove. Then I wiped down the dining table, living room table, and TV stand. Also had the irobot vacuuming. After that I worked on the bathroom. Cleaned the tub, cloroxed the toilet and used the toilet bowl cleaner. Also windexed the mirrors. Did the same in ne’s bathroom, making sure I cleaned the shower glass so that it was clear. Made Ne’s bed and also the guest room bed. After that I watched Christopher Robin on Netflix. Baked a moist betty crocker vanilla cake and drank some hot chocolate. Talked to Josh and Pj about CP. Then around 4 manong came. Then he left and then ne came with groceries. Helped put groceries away while she cooked. Cleaned up the kitchen and set up the table while ne ligo. Then the whole family (minus dad cuz he had work) came and we had dinner. Had cheese sausages, ground pork with green sprouts and opo, and cucumber salad. It was very yummy! Oh also rotisserie chicken. I cleaned and washed the dishes after. After that we drank tea and watched Whose line, as well as Kodi Lee on AGT and Eric Chien. At around 8 or so mom went ahead of us and left for home. Then at like almost 9 we left. I gathered ne’s pop bottles and cans and manang drove us to meijer where I returned them. Made $7.30! Used $7.13 to buy conditioner, hand soap, and garden gloves for dad lol. Went home and yeeeee chilled until bed time.

5.30.19 - Got up at 3 pm lol IK so late. But had lunch with the peeps. Then I ironed dad’s uniform. Watched Eric Chien and then tidied up the kitchen. Did mom’s nails (both mani and pedi) and watched Peter Rabbit. Sibs got home at like 7 while I was washing dishes. Got ready and I drove us sibs to Canton zap zone where we did glo-golf. Marv won with 51 pts, manang 56, my 57, and manong 58 xD I also got a hole in one tho!! After that, manang drove us to Mcdonald’s near plato’s closet. It was so good! And very clean and nice inside. The four of us got quarter pounders and coffee. Then I bought a large fry for PJ and a caramel frappe. Got to Emagine and met up with PJ. Watched Godzilla 2!!!!! It was SO GOODDDDDD I mean there are little flaws but the action was definitely better than the first (the first’s build up was dragging and the fighting scenes were so short!!!!). Overall it was a good movie. Got home at 1 a.m. ish. :)
