Hunny, you eat like your being held hostage. I don't know how you exist on what describe. When you come back this way, we'll go for a decent meal, until then, I don't know, visit Howard more often at dinner time? Hehe ;)

Justin! That stuff just does not look good, and I wonder what it smells like!
I hate to diss food, because it's a real personal thing...but still!
I feel like ushering you into my home, and cooking you up some good healthy food. I am sure I'm not the only one who wants to nurture you.

I agree with Liz. Get with the program, dude, and start eating right. "Justin needs food badly", indeed.

and you wonder why you get sick all the time.
you should learn to use your freezer! it's a modern marvel.

I was just gonna say "Give me an F!"
(you in the bleachers respond)
"F!"
(i respond) "F-R-E-E-Z-E-R! Learn to use it, you'll go far!"
those gallon sized ziplock freezer bags are available in cartons of 20 at the 99 cent store. Soup is best frozen in serving sizes of 3 bowls. Freeze 2 chicken breasts at a time. Freeze ground beef in 1 pound increments in those bags. That way you can defrost it and make 4 bowls of chili, 2 big burgers, a meatloaf, those tacos that you add powder, canned chiles, cans of tomatoes in sauce to and serve in those crunchy shells or an abundance of other snacks or meals for one or two people.
Dude...you can even make a pan of corn muffins, freeze them and then take one out a night and pour soup over it.
Anyway... Jane beat me to it! Be careful and keep yourself hydrated...VERY hydrated and you should check out Animal Precinct, Animal Cops, and Miami Animal Police on the Animal Planet. That's some great tv that doesn't require a lot of episodic commitment, thinking or emotional investment...and it's DAMN entertaining late-night viewing.

I'm curious about your use of chicken bones. A couple of times, you've mentioned your penchant for boiling them for your food.
The image of you boiling chicken bones makes it sound like you're countering your ultra-modern gadget-saturated lifestyle with a kind of medieval primitivism in your diet.
You always keep us guessing.

I am willing to give Justin $10 if he goes on a starvation diet (except water).
I heard that over a couple of weeks, the body starts to get rid of all the toxins that we build up, thereby exposing to our eyes (and noses) the polluted chemicals that we daily imbue.

oh justin! that sounds terrible! you should be careful- though you are healthy, food poisoning can be very dangerous.
always *smell* your food before you eat it, or make it into stock. inspect your food, make sure it's not discoloured, and feel your food- meat gets a really nasty slime when it starts to go bad.
this is what i leared about food safety from a professional chef: never let stuff sit out overnight- try to put it in the fridge asap. don't cover hot liquids. if you put it in the fridge, keep the lid slightly ajar so steam can escape. always freeze stuff promptly, if you are planning to do so. if you've let it sit for more than a couple of days, bring the soup back to a roiling boil for 10 mins to resterilize.
and if your food so much as looks at you funny, throw it away!!
remember, fridges and freezers only retard bacteria growth- they can't actually prevent it from growing. and if the food has already developed microbes, the toxins that will make you sick are probably already there, as they are the byproduct of bacteria metabolism.

Be strict about how long you regard cooked dishes in your fridge as edible. I suggest 3 days, no more. I recently chowed a fourth-day stew because it was one I love so much and paid the price--not quite as badly as you did with your ancient one, but still. Freeze everything on day 3, or even before that if you know you have more than you're going to eat. (Or toss it if you're sure you're never going to eat it again.)
With chicken bones, necks, gizzards and such, just keep storing them up in the freezer. When you hit critical mass, make stock with bones, leftover vegetables (esp. things like broccoli stalks, celery, etc.) and freeze most of the stock.
