I admire how men have enough self esteem to share with other people that they put some inches on their waist. It’s harder for us women to talk about our bodies.

Thank you for sharing.

And for those of you wondering, no, I am not fat.

Yes, glutamic acid, more widely known in its monosodium glutamate (MSG) form, is widely used in Asian cooking (as well as canned soups) as a flavor enhancer, and is also widely reviled as a cause of many ailments, most especially in migraines. It gives food a taste dimension most often described as “savory,” and is in fact produced by certain cooking methods, particularly if foods are cooked for a long time. Therefore, using MSG is a sort of “short cut” in cooking. I personally am not impressed with the body of evidence suggesting it has some harmful health effects, and since I have learned to recognize the taste I can say with certainty that it does not trigger migraines for me. I don’t doubt there are some people sensitive to it who should avoid it. For most people I think it should be a non-issue.

Is awful offal lawful?

By: JohnB

JohnB — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:21:44 +0000

In point of fact, that can happen just from excessive alcohol consumption by itself. Heavy drinking tends to cause men to have decreased testosterone and elevated levels of estrogen, as does weight gain, which can often happen when you’re consuming vast quantities of calories in alcohol. Concurrent heavy pot smoking also increases that risk, since several cannabinoids have estrogen-like structures. (Never happened to me, though. I was quite flat-chested, even for a man, until I took up weight-lifting in sobriety and put on four inches on my chest.) (Now, since I quit weight-lifting because of my asthma, I’ve stayed the same chest size but put four inches on my waist…)

Yeah, that’s what made me think it was probably “Exigente.” I do recall my mother, who speaks no Spanish, made an attempt at a joking reference to the commercial when my dad complained about something, saying, “Who do you think you are, El Caliente?” My dad, having taken Spanish in high school, was quite amused (caliente means hot).

I meant to say pass of 8 oz of meat for $22 and it better be filet.

By: cadetstar

cadetstar — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:08:03 +0000

Well, the other problem…240 grams of meat is only 8.5 oz. That is enough for 2-3 servings of meat, and for Japan (and people who don’t eat as much meat), I’m sure is fine.

Try to pass off 8 oz of meat in the US and it better be filet.

Since hormones are the master regulators of biosynthesis in the body, almost any organic chemical found in nature is derived from, or regulated by, a hormone. What that has to do with buying a package of them for dinner, however, is not at all clear.

By: JohnB

JohnB — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:48:03 +0000

I don’t think you could use a hat as either an anthem or a mantra, although it certainly could be a yantra.

Yes, we are cognizant of your traumatic history with offal patties and we feel your pain. Worst thing my grandma made me eat was all my peas (which at the time I didn’t like), although I found a handy solution: throw them, one at a time, behind the radiator when she wasn’t looking! As far as I know, if the apartment building is still there, down on East 7th Street in Manhattan, the dessicated remains of fossil peas can still be found behind the radiator).

Another mistake that many do when translating into Spanish is to say that the word excited is “exitado” which actually means “aroused”. A lot of our clients have had horrible Spangrish mistakes and we have to point them out to them.

One school had a questionnaire that asked, “what gets your kid excited?” A lot of the parents felt uneasy with the question.

They probably said “embarazar” to mean embarrassed, but in reality they said “getting pregnant.”
