I basically decide that the left and my face can get dirty, and that way I keep everything else clean. Much easier to clean up at the end too.

I'm not an overly neat or fastidious person. But I really don't like to wear my food.
I love ribs, but if they are super wet, I just can't do it. Same with wings. I'm a big fan of dry rub (around here, good stuff is Old Bay-centric rub). But if it's all gummy and sticky... pass.
This also plays out eating crabs. After about 3, maybe 4, the gunk and innards and all of that.. I've gone through 15 napkins and I just get kind of tired of the process.

I have to say, Wingstop makes some pretty tasty wings. At least the one closest to our house does.

Coincidentally I grilled ribs at home the other day. They were glorious. Each table setting got a wet washcloth in addition to a cloth napkin. Lots of delicious sauce. Maybe it’s different in public at a restaurant, but at home, if you don’t eat it with your hands, I gotta think you are a bit of a prig.

The grapefruit White Claw isn't bad. I'm not going to stop drinking beer any time soon, but those hard seltzers are nice sometimes if you don't want a beer and you don't want something sweet. (Wine also works in these situations as well, but it doesn't always make sense to open a bottle of wine either).

Red beans and rice are the shit but the new sandwich is soooo much better than Chik Fil A and even better than Wendy’s. Popeyes won the chicken wars.

How old is your son? Curious at what age kids today become aware. A good percentage of my gay friends and acquaintances my age and older say they were clueless until college or after. I just heard Megan Rapinoe saying she wished someone pointed out the obvious to her, because she didn't realize for a long time. I would think, and hope, kids today are so much more aware of different sexuality, that they realize what they are is an option, and aren't confused about their feelings.

He'll be 12 soon. We suspected he might be bi or gay for years, but in the last year or two he's started talking about it openly.

Awesome that he is comfortable enough to talk to you about it. My daughter was boy crazy at 3, so no mystery with her. Fortunately, that remains innocent, and she became too embarrassed to Iet on to boys her age that she has a crush. 20 something yo British or Dutch soccer coaches, she makes it pretty clear. She tells us who she has crushes on, which is cool, I never would have talked to my parents about girls. I guess she could add girls to the mix, but I don't see it. My son is 13, and shows no interest at all. Any mention of who he has a crush on, and he gets super embarrassed and awkward.govmentchedda wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2019 3:39 pmHe'll be 12 soon.

Re: Can't always eat right - Official junk food thread
It’s a huge piece of that Popeyes chicken (breading is the same) on a really good roll with the spicy mayo and pickles. Simple but great. Appreciate they didn’t mess with the chicken recipe but somehow figured out how to cook a huge piece of chicken and have it taste like Popeyes.
