Maybe muscle fiber. :mrgreen:

Haha. Maybe fibers of sweet, salty porcine goodness.

Had some fudge with bacon in it. Mostly good for its novelty value, methinks. :crazy:

Nice lunch!! Did you eat all of that? You always go to the most interesting places.

Goodness, I'm a pig but I kept it in check somewhat. I didn't eat dinner last night and this was my first (and maybe my only meal) of the day.

No, no...I had the fettuccine and the soup, and I tasted some broccolini and portobello fries.

My friend fell in love with the Portobello fries so I let him go town on those. :)

This restaurant has a whopping 2000+ reviews on Yelp. Amazing.

Hmm, Portobello fries.... :)

My friend looooved those. I knew he would...because I ordered them once before at Bottega and I thought they were fantastic. He said he would go back to Bottega just for those! Haha. That's the seal of approval if I ever heard one.

I guess I spent my calories like monopoly money on one fab meal today, but I have no regrets! I'm still actually pretty full. I'll prolly hit the gym later tonight when all the boys and girls are out getting wasted cuz it's the weekend. Shouldn't be too crowded. :)

My fav instant miso from Mitsuwa. Instant miso soup (made from miso paste, not powder) with Nameko mushrooms from Hanamaruki Foods

Check out the sodium though. Insane. :sweat:

Definitely need to eat lots of potassium afterwards to help blunt the excess sodium intake. :sweat:

A five-pound bag of potatoes or bananas for the day would be about right. :sweat:

And give you type 2 diabetes in the process.

No, thank you. I'll stick to veggies and potassium supplements.

According to that link that you posted, potassium supplements are inadvisable, huh? :sweat:

Im sure you must be mistaken. :hehe:

Deciding on where to go out for dinner on a saturday night in NYC.
Lots of choices! :woot:

Yeah that's what it says, but I still take 'em on occasion when I have a super duper salty meal. It's inadvisable, in particular, for people who have kidney problems because they might not be able to handle the potassium if your kidney function is impaired.

Best ways to get rid of excess sodium....water, water, water, water...and exercise.

Ajinomoto...the taste is really light. Not as tasty as the pork ones though. :)

In other news today....the best knife block EVER invented.
