learnteach: (Bastard's Prayer)
Rolled out of bed this morning to head out to work out, checked work email...uhoh. Minor customer issue is now major customer problem. Again. We've dropped the ball. So much for the workout...

...it's really hard to motivate myself; 3 months in and I already want to scream "THAT WAS FUCKED UP LONG BEFORE ME" because I'm trying to fix issues that have been going for a year.

Need more fukitol. BUt if I take too much, I stop moving...

Saw Alton Brown speak last night, 5 quick facts:
1. He's abandoned BMW for Ducati; it's not a crisis if you can pay for your midlife toys. (My question)
2. He cooks his daughter breakfast whenever possible; if he has to leave early he puts it into the warming drawer he had installed under the microwave.
3. He feels there's an obsession on food rather than on the ceremonies and joys around it; we look for the perfect plated palatable pie rather than sharing with family, and it's a problem. (alliteration mine).
4. He's a fat addict...Hello, my name is John, and I'm addicted to weight...the discussion was very good at this point. McDonald's doesn't make you fat, your mindless eating (which they help with) does. Think, then eat. It's not a silver bullet take a drug do a diet thing but a way of life.
5. His hardest addiction to quit was Diet Coke--from 8 a day to 0, and it reset his tastebuds on the subject of sweet.

PILES of people asked question that he answers in his book...his favorite shows? the ones he worked with his family on. His favorite fast food? In CA, In n Out burgers. How do I make a crispy waffle? Buy a real waffle iron, and up the butter and sugar a little, and cook it a little hotter. How do I make gluten free french bread? ...you don't.

back to the work
