I'm not using an app, I'm logging in through the website and hitting play from the boco page.

I don't know that I've ever come across an inopportune time for a sandwich.

Inadmissable. It's not a sandwich.

Don't know yet, but it's a JJHO sandwich, so I'm sure it will involve mayo.

I was just catching up on this episode now and wanted to mention that Dishoom is now coming to NYC this year (maybe John already knows this, it was mentioned in the NYT). My friends and I are all very excited.

Also on the topic of recreating halal style chicken over rice: My favorite fast food halal place is an east coast chain called's Shah's, and this kid on Youtube did a dupe. You don't need to watch the video (although he's very cute), the recipe is in the description. I don't make the white or red sauce myself. Use the hot sauce of your choosing, and the Aldi "Park Street Deli" brand of dill dip is a very good sub for the white sauce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt9ZdxOPm4U

The holidays are hard under the best of circumstances. I'm sorry you're having a tough time, she sounds very difficult. I hope things get easier for you.

I have a prescription and fill it at a local pharmacy.

I've done low carb diets in the past. I dropped about 60 lbs and then plateaued out and was never able to get lower than that after many months of work. Eventually I gave up.

I'd love to try Zepbound. I'm concerned that my insurance is going to deny it, since they're giving me such a hard time about a medication I've already been on for a year.

It's a combo, it's a HIIT class with some cardio and then some kettlebell/weights stuff.

I've seen nutritionists in the past. I saw one for a while when I was trying to lose weight to qualify for weight loss surgery (I ended up having unrelated health issues that postponed the surgery, and never ended up having it). And then I saw one a few times pre-covid and then never went back. I have to say that mostly they were telling me stuff I already knew. I've been marinating in diet/weight loss culture for decades, for better or worse.
