THANKS FOR REMINDING ME SEAN AND FOOD

Even after the gang learn to use expiration dates like yes some food is more perishable than others but Sean specifically grew up in Ireland 1879-1889ish. His Da, his favorite person, his idol, literally grew up during the Great Famine and I don't think that was a trauma he healed from or was able to protect Sean from. Sean absolutely inherited food insecurity. The gang are happy to laugh along with the running gag Sean can't keep his room clean but they know a lot of it is he gets so distressed over the idea of throwing food away even if it's expired and moldy. He will try to hide it for 'later'. Lenny has to keep a mental inventory of food that is about to expire because if it is not eaten or meticulously disposed of Sean will take it and has gotten food poisoning multiple times as a result.

His workplace in contrast are happy to support it. It's an elderly Italian couple, they appreciate the fact they hired the zoomiest erratic delivery boy in history but also a human garbage disposal who will merrily take home technically expired salami and enjoy it. 2 days technically expired salami is fine but it is a team effort to stop him saying shit like 'just cut the mold off the cheese it's fine' 'just don't drink the lumps in the milk'.

Kieran and instant meals is absolutely a thing. When I say instant I mean powdered. He was honestly the only one who struggled gaining weight while also being the one who really most urgently needed to gain weight. Bessie keeps that prescription high protein high calorie apple juice in stock at all times. Food is a nightmare of unexpected. Do you think he ever ate baked goods again after seeing a single spot of mold on a loaf of bread and learned that was a thing? Protein shakes, instant soup, rice cakes, instant potato, processed steam bag veggies and meat cooked to congratulations level of well done. If he cannot recognize what a food is made of he will not eat it. Rice, pasta, noodles, they do not look like food he will not touch them. Actually encouraging him to try protein shakes took a while but he now relishes the fact it is always the exact same (he will measure out the exact amount of water to make sure it is the same!!) He may be an Irish boy at heart but stew is a nightmare of vegetables cooked at different consistencies and he will only pick at it. Enjoys the taste sure but anxiety is too much.

Ironically he does really enjoy Mexican and Javier is very patient explaining the ingredients and letting him try stuff with the reassurance if he doesn't like it he will gladly eat it. Ugh I'm going to go off about how much the gang do not encourage Javier to connect to culture in canon era but Kieran adores listening to people talk about things they are excited and passionate about and will gladly sit through Javier's lectures on authentic Mexican and his stories of home. Javier also only cooks the way he was raised to, the recipe is the same every time and he is a perfectionist. Kieran does not fear pico de gallo as long as Javier solely was the one who made it. Will eat a bowl of it. Offer him a tomato any other time and he will not touch it.

While Arthur becomes a masterchef he absolutely was the first to start experimenting with food to disastrous effects that made them miss Pearson's bland mystery stews. Has mistaken salt for sugar when baking before he learned the importance of labels. Learned cilantro/coriander tastes like soap to him after accidentally dumping a mound of it into sauce thinking it was parsley. Arthur and John also in monkey brain mode together would do those hottest chip ever challenges and almost die.

Dutch's psych ward is bordering on resort living he treats his nurses like butlers laying in a sun chair in standard issue patient garb ordering hand squeezed lemonade doesn't even need to clear his throat before hearing an obedient 'yes, Mr Van Der Linde' and getting his refill. Gets a little giddy over the ridiculousness of tiny umbrellas as peak capitalism but drinks non-alcoholic pina colada for days. Crude jokes to Hosea about the magical effects of pineapple.

JACK'S RELATIONSHIP WITH PASTA HE LOVES PASTA Isaac took him to like wholefoods to see all the different shapes and types of pasta and Captain Angst lit up like a florescent lighting and bought all of it. John and Abigail are super uncomfortable with it but being kidnapped is one of Jack's happiest childhood memories he had good food, toys and experienced the high class luxuries hotels could only wish to offer. Will eat himself sick if he makes too much because he would never waste pasta. Carries a pasta measuring guide as one of his necessities after getting one as a gag present. Number 1 comfort food and boy does he need comforting. He will walk around eating a handful of plain pasta with the classic ardent desperation of both a wild horse and the gentle schoolgirl trying to tame it.

OMG WAIT SO UR AU HAS CHUBBY MACGUIRE

let the whole gang have their soft well fed happy era where they don't need to worry about where food is coming from no more treating beer like a necessary source of nutrition. don't care how long they've been warped they don't understand nor care for body standards or modern era aesthetics as long as they're happy and physically able to do the things they enjoy. dad bods and mom bods everywhere.

alright, it’s way too late for me to just be starting this now so this will probably be quick since not much actually happened today. I woke up to my alarm at 1 in order to get ready for my chiropractor appointment at 2. I had a missed call and a voicemail from one of the firms I sent an application in to yesterday asking for an interview so I called them back and set one up for Monday of next week, so that should be good. They do bankruptcy, which is at least a lot more sympathetic than debt collection and can actually be viewed as helping people. So we’ll see how that turns out. Pulled some comfy clothes on (since it’s part PT) and ate some breakfast then headed out. Apparently today was the halfway mark for my treatment so they wanted to evaluate progress and such, so we did a few of the general evaluation things and the doctor was very pleased, said I’m back to like 90% functioning which is super awesome to hear, so I was happy about that. We stepped it up in the PT portion with some new exercises, except I already knew most of them from my other PT work, so I was already very good at them which they were surprised about lol. But yeah it was a good session. Once I got home I wanted to clean up the kitchen a bit, trying to keep on top of it all since I did a fair amount of cooking yesterday. so I set my cast iron skillet to soak since it had a bunch of like, dried tomato sauce and shit on it lol but it actually cleaned off pretty easy after soaking for a bit so I was happy about that (they’re always hard to clean because you can’t use soap since they’re porous). I eventually moved to the couch with my computer and finished up a podcast episode before turning on The Grinder, which I’m almost done with, I think I just have one episode left. It went by pretty quickly because there’s only one season, lol. It was funny though, I definitely enjoyed it. While watching I also set out to fix the issue I’d been having with one of the rubber spatulas I’d just bought. Since I was bad and let the dishes pile up way too much earlier this week some of them retained a moldy gross smell, but I was able to get most of it out by soaking in hot water with soap, all except this rubber spatula. So I consulted the internet which suggested “baking the odor off” so I basically just stuck the rubber part (not with the plastic handle) on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven, checking it every like 10-15 minutes until it actually didn’t smell anymore, so I was rather pleased that all worked out. Sometime around then I got a text from the guy I was supposed to go out with tonight saying he had to work late, so I asked if he wanted to reschedule and he didn’t reply, so I guess we called it off for the night. This is like, the second time he’s bailed shortly beforehand so I’m just gonna leave the ball in his court about rescheduling, if he actually wants it to happen he can put that into motion, otherwise oh well. I was a little happy I could continue being lazy and not have to get all dressed up and do my makeup to go out, lol. so I kept watching tv and tuned into Brooklyn 99, then left the tv on that channel for the half hour show that’s on after it which I’ve been watching casually, it’s called Abby’s and it’s pretty funny, ironically the titular character is actually the main love interest in The Grinder lol. After that was over I made myself some food assuming the date was definitely off, then watched the episode of Riverdale I missed last night, which continued to be weird and wild, not really in a good way, but that’s no surprise. Once that was over I flipped over to the news and then to Jimmy Kimmel, and watched his show and then the beginning of Seth Meyers before showering and starting to get ready for bed, then of course procrastinated by ultimately ended up here. And yeah, that’s about it. Tomorrow I don’t really have anything to do during the day, but we have evening plans to get our nails done and hopefully catch up on Game of Thrones, so that should be good. Like I said at the beginning, it’s late, so I’m gonna head to bed now. Goodnight friends. Happy Friday.
