Yeah, the truth can be painful. At least I always said I was lame. XD

This week doesn’t seem like it’ll work out too well. Maybe next weekend. We’ll see what we can do for that.

No, you’re totally right. I thought about it and realized that even if every American cut their food intake by two-thirds, the food industry is so powerful and utterly set in its ways it would probably not change at all. That, or they’d lobby congress to pass a law requiring us to eat more. Have you seen that new documentary Food, Inc.? It’s kind of horrifying. All I have to say is don’t watch it while you’re eating dinner. (It was almost as bad as the time I inadvertently ate a plate of spaghetti while watching the most recent Saw movie. Never again.) But of course, that’s the cynic in me.

Still! Even if they continued to produce and waste literally tons of food, it would help us out in the other ways I mentioned.

So, are you free on Sunday? Brennan, David and I are planning on going for a hike. Maybe we can make soup too? Or perhaps next weekend?

Well you know, in some cultures you’re expected to leave some food on your plate to show you’re done eating and if you clean your plate it shows you want more. Also I think cleaning the plate comes more from lower income families where wasting food is a bigger deal. Now, since the mid range income level has increased over the last few years, they have more food, but that core idea of not wasting food is still there.

As far as saving food, we as a country already produce more food than we consume. A lot of which just goes to waste, and some farmers are actually paid to not harvest crops because they can’t do anything with the food. It’s not so much that we don’t have the resources to feed other starving countries (or our own starving homeless) so much as a lack of funds to move the food where it needs to be. As far as restaurants, from my experience and what I’ve seen, it seems that typically, the less expensive a restaurant is, the more food they give you. I know that seems kind of weird, but it does have some truth to it. Now, I’m not sure how accurate a lot of that information is as most of it is stuff I’ve just heard around. So it could just be the ranting of a funny little man. XD <3

I haven’t seen jumbo pocky at the asian food stores in the area, but I almost always go to the same one– mid-sized Korean one near the 76 station on del monte. Their pocky selection is pretty sparse in general. I’d happily survey the roughly 6,000 asian markets in Marina for you, though, tomorrow in the evening (when i have the car). I think a pocky errand would be quite lovely!

Well, I’m not sure I share your fervor for the word moist, but I was wondering if you know if one of the asian markets in Marina sells Jumbo Pocky by chance. I kind of need it for a cake that I’m making shortly before I hang myself from loosing my mind and being overly bothered with doing things. However should I most likely avoid that fate, everything will be better after Saturday, at which point I could probably be talked into making butternut squash soup for you….or myself or something. I need to use it anyway.

@fatlester
As John Hodgman would say, “you’re welcome.” Also, thanks for submitting the blog!

@miklskon
I beg your pardon, sir, but do you have some grey poupon?

Your total failure to distinguish the difference in these two products explains a great deal of your behavior over these past many months.

I think to some extent most everything suits me in some aspect. Well, aside from working with people. With as much time as I worked in retail you would of thought I’d be pretty good at yeah? Hah, can’t stand it. Though I must say, when I worked at CSUMB I actually enjoyed interacting with the students far more than most of my co-workers. Though I guess it’s different when you see all the same “customers” at work, other than anyone who happens to wander in. On another note, the beauty of having so many choices is that you can always change if what you’re doing isn’t working out. It may not be easy, or the wisest idea (depending on circumstances) but you always have that option. As far as working with people, having chosen psychology (at least that what I recall you studying anyway) you at least deal with people on a one on one basis at set times, and location, which makes everything much nicer.

I think you probably could have done any number of things, but cooking seems to strangely suit you. My problem is that where I’m most gifted–working with people–is where I’m not sure I’d want to work. I mean, who likes people, anyway? But sometimes I wonder what my life would be if I’d decided to be an oceanographer, or a writer, or a linguist, or any number of other things I had a passing interest in. We might never know what Julie the Oceanographer would have been like, but I guess part of having a choice is willing to accept never knowing.

I wouldn’t know anything about that as I don’t consume either. XD But I’ll believe you!

But would you really have fewer options being Amish, or would you just have an alternate set of choices? For instance, think about how many different types of wood you have to consider when building your barns. XD Well, there was quite some time where I hadn’t any idea of what it was that I was going to do. I just had no real direction tis all. Then someone suggested food and I went with it. I know I know, it’s not very glorious as most people who grew up cooking, or just knew it was what they wanted to do, or some other relatively similar concept, but it worked out for me. At least I’m not regretting it ^^ Everything happens for a reason right?
