Well, we’re also supposed to check a bunch of stuff before getting into our cars, but we usually skip most of it.

Right? I was wondering if maybe the guy was putting the hamburgers in the pockets of the jacket and taking them home.

Somebody is supposed to come in for like five minutes and sweep up a little bit and see if there are any serious spills that need to be mopped up to avoid accidents. That’s really all that there is time for on a busy weekend. When it isn’t the summer or Christmas vacation, they might not even hire a person to do that…

Just play basketball in pumps instead.

when I worked for a subsidiary of Landry’s Seafoods, they used to try to make us pay for our employee discount**

I don’t know why you are confused. If you cook this stuff so much, why don’t you know how much a cup of raw is after it’s cooked? It must be three or four cups. Eating three or four cups of one thing feels a lot different than one cup of something else. So it is not fine to compare a cup of raw grain since you are not…

Well, I cannot tell from this or the linked article how long it was between the scheduled appointment and the earlier appointment, and I cannot tell how much notice the restaurant had that she was changing appointments, or what her job was, if the restaurant was seriously short-handed, etc...

It isn’t slightly more protein unless somehow you are actually eating the grain raw. I’m not eating anything raw except maybe spinach and celery. I’m talking about a cup of something that you actually eat, and the grain is 8 grams per cup, and the chicken is 35 grams per cup. That is not even remotely close. As for…

I can cook meals. I’ve already told you that now twice. They just don’t have grains in them when I go to the trouble of trying to do it right and get enough protein and all of that.

I already told you it was also two cups of vegetables.

I am near Dallas. I went to Whole Foods earlier in the week, and I just went to Central Market a few hours ago. Quinoa is not cheap. I told you exactly how much it was. In Texas.

Look, not eating half a cup of chicken by itself. Rarely eating that little, just if I was trying to lose weight I’d eat that with two cups of vegetables. But I don’t usually.

Sorry, quinoa is not less than 2 dollars a pound (except sometimes I find it at a discount place, but that is not a reliable source). Today it was $6.49 a pound and up, depending on what color you got and so forth.

It’s easy enough to google and find out that the cup of chicken is at least three times a cup of grain. I’d only eat about half the cup of chicken and after adding vegetables it still would not be 800 calories, maybe half that. And I’m usually a couch potato. Unfortunately, I am a couch potato who like sodas and does…

Seems odd to pay more for something so that you can eat it by itself. And I can’t figure how much the more than five dollar a pound grain comes out per serving, so I’m not getting a better deal for the calories and I’m not even sure I’m getting a better deal for the money.

But if I were eating to be healthy, the chicken based meal would have way more protein for less calories. I would not be eating 800 calories if I ate the chicken.

Actually, that sounds terrible. Whatever beef they don’t sell on Monday will probably have to be thrown out, cause it will spoil before next Monday. We’d have to switch to all frozen foods or something to make that work. And then we’ll be paying for aisle after aisle of freezers full of stuff we can’t buy cause it’s…

Most of them look gross and I would not try them. There is a company making protein bars, but they cost too much and have too little protein, so I have not tried them yet.

I really do not get the hype about quinoa. How do you figure it has 3 times the protein as chicken? Isn’t it the other way around? Wouldn’t you have to eat way more quinoa and have a lot more unwanted calories?

I can see that there might be a rule that you don’t give stuff to the kids, even if you pay for it yourself, cause if you were a nice person you might end up giving away your whole paycheck. But I would think it would just be something that was on the books, so you could say, I can’t give you this cause you didn’t pay…
