Inspired by recently buying a cajon, and my husband immediately buying another for additional living room seating because he loved it.

        To be fair I always wanted more than one cat, just had to start with one.

          I’ve always felt that owners of dogs and/or cats should have more than one, so they have one another to interact with when you’re not home. They’re meant to be social creatures and, assuming they don’t happen to incompatibly hate each other (which can happen), it’s a lot nicer and healthier for them than just leaving a single pet home alone all day.

    A döner in Germany. Everything about it is so good, I ended up eating every other day the next week I was there.

      My German ‘must have more’ was the sauerkraut. It is sooo much better there than in the states, and it was slightly different in each town I tried it. My staple meal was whatever the local version was of: sausage, sauerkraut, and wheat beer.

        The food in Germany is completely meh imo, EXCEPT for the restaurant sour kraut - holy shit it is sooooo much better than what we get in the states. Someone told me it’s because they cook it up in some kind of animal lard

          We had different experiences then. I’ve had some meals that I enjoyed quite a bit and still try to replicate. Can’t go wrong with a good schnitzel, kraut, or pommes. I also had a dish with potatoes and bacon, i think was called bratkartoffeln that I would fly back tomorrow for.

        Thats pretty cool. Not too many are into raw fish that instantly.

        It’s good, certainly when paired with a good korenwijn jenever.

        Try the smoked paling (eel) too next time, if you haven’t. It’s a whole other side of fish.

    Cocaine. It had absolutely no effect on me other than making me want more instantly. I tried it like three or four times before realizing that it didn’t really do anything. Granted, the third and fourth time I only got it because my dealer was exceptionally hot and he allowed me to snort the cocaine off of his abs.

    Tattoos, coke, mushrooms, alcohol, camera batteries, camera lenses, tiramisu, sex, kink stuff, time.

    I try not to be super consumerist, so it’s hard to think of things as opposed to experiences and addictive substances.

    A cookie.

    Pro tip:

    Grab a cookie, close the packaging or container, go somewhere else, then eat the cookie. You will want another cookie but not enough to actually go back and re-open the packaging.

    Alternatively, eat something more nutritious first, then set a specific amount of cookies you’re allowed to eat. Also, brush your teeth after eating sweet food, such as cookies.

      That’s how i lost 10 lbs.

      1. Buy less snacks. Say no once at the grocer instead of every day.
      2. If you do have some then they stay in the kitchen. You serve yourself the serving size. Leave the kitchen and eat the cookie. Easier to say no to getting another.

      I’ve also found less-overly-sweet cookies help, both in terms of not craving them as badly and actually somewhat filling you up compared to the amount of calories you consume.

      Unfortunately, it’s quite tricky to find such cookies in the shops.

      Excellent ideas …… but what should we try when we finish the first sleeve?
