Go grain free, baby, hey?

Until they have a grain free beer, its not happening. to weak to give up beer.

So can a single man if he gets his lazy ass out of bed to cook them.

Yup.  I am beyond helpless in the kitchen (though I can wash dishes with a breakage rate under 10%), but even I could make some pancakes and sausage.

If a dish is too dirty to where it would be too hard to clean, I generally throw it out. Sshhh, don't tell my wife.

Regrettably, the bolded part is an issue for us married men too. 

[GooooMarquette]

So with the other guys who are mostly helpless in the kitchen...you're still perfectly at home with an open flame and a hunk of meat, a'ina?

Speaking of meat — or actually things that aren't but are trying to taste like it — who has tried the Beyond Meat stuff and what is your review?

I had an Impossible Whopper at BK a few months ago.

It was .. OK.   It tastes and smells just a little different, but it's fine.    It's all buried in bun, ketchup and pickles, you hardly notice.

I consider it an inferior product, though, so if the price was the same, I'd pass.   If it was a few bucks cheaper than the real thing, I'd consider it.

Haven't tried Beyond Meat, but I have tried several veggie burgers over the years and been generally unimpressed. The only one I'd want again is a wild rice burger they make in-house at Fitger's in Duluth.

There once was a little hobbit who lived in the forest....

Hold up!


I'm going downstairs to watch that episode right now.

I knew you wouldn't leave me hanging. That may be my favorite episode of all time

A priest here in CT was on the local news saying that you shouldn't eat the "impossible burgers" on Fridays during Lent.  Basically its getting around the rule on a technicality.

The fact that you aren't eating meat on a day when you aren't supposed to eat meat is a "technicality," simply because of the name of the product?

I guess that means you could eat a big slab of steak as long as you called it an "impossible salad."

Seriously? I don't see Hasidic jews saying eating imitation crab meat is against the rules because it's a technicality. It's not meat, if God was all knowing and it was against Gods will then God would've said "no meat and in a few thousand years no imitation meat either!"

[The Sultan]

I understand what the priest is saying.  The whole point of not eating meat on Lenten Fridays is to abstain.  If you are eating something that tastes the same, you really aren't abstaining from anything.

But let's be honest.  The whole fish-doesn't-count-as-meat is a big ole asterisk anyway.

Yep this was his point.  Frankly, I think the early church had a lot of fishermen and they wanted to sell more fish.  I like to think that ultimately God will judge us less on what from His bounty we denied ourselves and more on how we treated our fellow human beings.

Tell that to this guy, this is true Lenten sacrifice

Why?  Was Jesus on HGH, too?

James and John were banging the trash can, aina?

Might try Wahlburgers today. Any menu suggestions?

Most Scoopers are exempt from Lenten Laws as seen in their Sweater Vest closets as "being or dressing like" you over 59.

Like day 1, bro.  Jesus was an investor in the fish industry start ups in the valley.

Arby's Fish and Cheddar.....ooof.  🤢🤢

[Dr. Blackheart]

All this fish talk got me thinking about Arthur Treacher's. Was a big fan and they had a location by the house that is now closed.  I haven't seen another one in years.

Not a totally unhappy ending, though, as an Arby's replaced it.
