Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

When I tell people I'm vegetarian, the response is usually along the lines of, "I don't know how you do it, I couldn't give up [insert food that they could definitely give up but whatever]?"

This feels like the same blind statement, but by the federal government.

Try being a vegetarian power lifter. I try not talk about it because it’s always the same dumbfounded conversation about how can one possibly get enough protein and how soy will make me a woman. Getting sufficient protein is not even hard at the calorie levels I am consuming and even though I eat soy in moderation it seems a silly argument considering I keep making major progress towards a world record set by a long line of men.

I will say one thing; the variety of foods and meals has gone up exponentially since going vegetarian. Meat based diets are convenient in terms of effort to prepare but are quite boring in their variety and presentation. Also I physically feel better and psychologically as well.

Some employees at my work created a #cooking Slack channel to stay connected about cooking at home and whatnot. And a lot people post the most BORING meals. It's like "hey guys look at this meal we made with rice and veggies!" it looks like this picure below. A lot of Hello Fresh meals look like that too. I guess I'm spoiled because my girlfriend is an amazing at cooking and is constantly making fun, international foods. Just the other day someone posted about making a Hello Fresh Bibimbap meal and they said it was the first time they ever had it before. I was shocked, thinking to myself "You've never had bibimpap before?!" like Tom asking Ann that she never heard of Ginuwine before.

I know quite a few people from work in their 20's who don't cook. They Grubhub everything.

I got a laugh out of one being forced to buy food and stock up his fridge and figure out how to cook because Grubhub is now hit or miss with availability to deliver food now that it has been pushed over capacity by COVID-19 stay at home orders.

I find it amusing and interesting. I don't know if young and not so young people will cook more after the lockdown but I've never seen so many people making bread at home. I mean, even my father is making bread and he only cooks when it's my mother's birthday! On the other hand, a few McDonald's are reopening in France and it caused huge lines of cars with people waiting up to three hours for a Big Mac.

Smoked Applewood Marinated Chicken, Farro and Peas.

I usually have chicken or fish. Change up my vegetables all the time, love roasted Brussels sprouts the best. Either Farro or rice.

I know! If you have to wait 3 hours for a burger, at least go for something with tons of cheese (or three slices of cheese here) .

Yes, Le Big Mac in France is like the Big Mac in the USA but half the size. Thank God.

Royale with cheese is the quarter-pounder. Since they use the metric system. And they serve beer. I mean, glasses of beer!

That's why so many parents take their children to McDonald's. Can't wait for the Mc Wine Menu.

And who knows what they call a Whopper. Nobody goes to Burger King.

Until the Impossible Whopper. I know a lot of people that go for that alone.

We call the Whopper, the Whoppper. We can be smart sometimes. BTW I prefer Burger King to McDonald's. Their high quality frozen buns fresh from the freezer does make the difference.
