welcome to "as the rone turns"

[rone]

In today's episode, rone contemplates the eternal question: "Can a man have a lunch that consists entirely of marshmallows?"  Both miniature and large, the soft, sweet, and sticky white cylinders are consumed without pause, until he stops, suddenly.  He sees the open bag of walnuts, beckoning, whispering in his ear...  HE SEIZES THE BAG!  The walnuts will soon become his second course...

You're really just a brain in a vat, right? The whole soccer thing is just a sham?

You're half right. I'm a brain in a vat with a robot body that plays soccer. I'm currently waiting for a new titanium rod for my lower left extremity. It should be in by next week.

I hear carbon fiber works in a pinch.

Heh. You don't have any food in the house either, do ya? My lunch yesterday was about to be soy sauce poured over basmati rice, until Jeff saved me.

Oh, and the answer on the marshmallows is, "Yes, if you don't mind having a one-hour sugar high followed by a four-hour crash into the sub-basement of your brain functions." The walnuts will only temper that by, say, half an hour unless you've trained for this sort of thing. Which, knowing you, you have.

I'm actually just snacking until the missus gets home. Right now she has a pot of chicken broth simmering away on the stove, with lots of fresh rosemary, thyme and sage from the backyard, and tomato juice from the community garden tomatoes, plus some celery and (i'm guessing) garlic.

I'm not sure how well-trained i am against the sugar crash. I mean, i'm not young anymore, and being married to a great cook does a number on your crap-eating abilities. Still... only one way to find out.

Try eating a bunch of celery, that kind of helps for some reason.

A while ago some people I know started wondering what the cheapest possible source of a day's worth of calories was. The answer was vegetable oil.

So they decided to try to live on just vegetable oil plus a multivitamin. I think it lasted a day.

Back in the 50's when linear programming was just coming into vogue, some Army nutritionists studied the cheapest balanced diet available. (You can't just live on fat; you need protein and carbs too.)

The answer was hog livers, cabbage, and water. You couldn't cook the cabbage or whatever crazy vitamin it was supplying would go away.

Their goal was survival calories, not balanced diet, but yeah. Hog livers and cabbage... yuck!
