The number one spot

In this inflationary economy where eating even at fast food joints costs nearly $20 (got to love high cost of living San Francisco), it’s important to find deals where possible. Especially for us weightlifters seeking easy protein gains. A surprising candidate has emerged in the number one spot: Hawaiian food. For about $13, I can get a BBQ combo plate at the local Hawaiian BBQ restaurant, and it’s got nearly a pound of meat! The normal eaters of you can likely split that one plate into two meals. A fantastic deal.

Chipotle used to occupy that top spot, but lately I’ve soured on the brand. For whatever reason, the Chipotle closest to me puts in way too much salt. It’s not a good feeling to eat a meal and then have to endlessly drink water in the hours following. If it were a one time thing where the staff person may have been a bit heavy handed with the shaker, sure. Sadly it’s been a pattern.

Hawaiian BBQ it is. Best of all, you don’t have to give the staff a death stare just to ensure they don’t shortchange you on the protein portions.

High school was 20 years ago for me, so I don’t expect people that I haven’t seen since then to recognize me. At least not immediately. Recently I ran into such an acquaintance, and she did not remember me at all. Flummoxed! Do I really look that different from my high school years? You know, apart from the normal aging process.

Apparently I was on the chubby side in high school. I’ve either forgotten about it, or it’s been too long since I’ve started to worry about my health back in college. The acquaintance I ran into finally did recognize me, and mentioned with a rather crude hand gesture that I was missing an entire chin. I guess that’s nothing to complain about. How many looksmaxxing folks out there wish they could develop a proper jaw line like I’ve apparently done.
