Oh my, that has been the most difficult part, actually. I still research and watch food/recipe videos constantly. So curbing that part has been a little challenging. I still cook what I want for those I love, but because I’m more in tune with “CICO”, my portion sizes are even more strict. Essentially, I eat A LOT slower, just to saver it. Yesterday for Mother’s Day, I made a Dutch Baby, sausages, and scrambled eggs. All fine, except maybe the scrumptious Dutch Baby, but we all split it. While more for the cooking thread, one of the most satisfying things cooking wise, is when you perfect the easiest of foods. My scrambled eggs are now at the point where I can confidently say I can’t get them better anywhere else. I can only say that with 100% certainty of my burgers and my short ribs.

Down from 194 to 178, in 7 weeks of working out. I didn’t find out what my BMI was beforehand, and I didn’t want to know. While I’m 5’11”, me never having muscle from my torso up meant my BMI was likely in the 26 range. Interested to see where I’m at now. I know I have a long way to go, but I’m really happy with the “eye” test, and the “clothing” test. At the point where my wife can really see the difference as well. That’s encouraging.

The Philadelphia Flyers have extended goaltender Philip Grubauer to a 5 year extension, worth $32.5M ($6.5M AAV). Deal includes a full NMC throughout. @Art Vandelay @Nail

Great pick. High risk, but high reward.

@Art Vandelay Nice pick!

Don’t want to get too in the weeds on this. But clearly you’ve never been to Kolkata. But in this case, I’m finding it hard to understand how it took 9 hours for the child to be attended to, and not by the parent. There was one time when I left my daughter (a little over a year old at the time) in the car as I entered the grocery store (live in a small city of 13,000). Literally a minute later, I saw a woman with her 3 small kids and said to myself, “Sh*t! She’s still in the car!” So without knowing the details of this, which are still hard to understand how one could go that long without knowing where your kid is, I cannot fathom leaving my kid alone for longer than a minute (as I was guilty of that). But to my snide comment earlier in my post about Kolkata/India. 15 million people in that city. The amount of small children that were left to look after themselves and each other is staggering. Roughly 20% of the world lives there. It happens A LOT more than we realize.

Carolina Hurricanes https://www.sudbury.com/sports/ukko-pekka-luukkonen-name-ohls-most-outstanding-player-1437940 https://theahl.com/barre-boulet-voted-outstanding-rookie Congrats to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on being named the OHL’s most outstanding player of the year, and Alex Barre-Boulet on being named the AHL’s most outstanding rookie of the year. College player Scott Perunovich was named to the first team all-stars. No “update” on Tye Felhaber, but he’s looking like a stud. Among other reports, Corey Pronman had him listed (prior to signing with Dallas on March 11) as the top CHL, college, and European free agent. Future is bright in Carolina.

Bad Blood - Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup Just finished. Elizabeth Holmes and Ramesh Balwani are hilariously awful people. Must read.

While not 100% reliable, Rotten Tomatoes has the new female driven “comedy” remake of Dirty, Rotten, Scoundrels, called “The Hustle (or waste of time and money)” sitting at 17%. If you’ve seen the preview, and I won’t post it below if you haven’t, so you won’t lose brain cells, you won’t be surprised that it’s supposed to be garbage. A few weeks ago, my wife and I watched the preview before some movie in theatres (Shazam!). She never saw the original, and didn’t know it was a remake. At the end of the preview, before I said what it was, she said “Wow, that looks awful.”

(Rumour) Canucks interested in Malkin - **Warning-Eklund
Monty replied to GB5's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
As I said, “+”. It was assumed that the “+” would be significant. Was also, as quoted, “an example”. -
For those looking to improve their goaltending future, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is available for a 1st. Will add a little more for an even higher 1st.

There are some movies that, when on, I’ll watch through, no matter what mood I’m in. Whiplash is such a terrific movie that I’ve watched a number of times, now. As a parent as well, that last scene where you see Paul Reiser’s emotional reaction to his son’s drumming is heartwarming. To a point where I tear up every time.

Carolina will be facing the direction changing, soon to be Stanley Cup Finals (and likely Cup winner) Washington Capitals.
