yeah, mine was white...
He mentioned that working with marzipan is actually quite tricky and doesn't mold the same way, or something along those lines... he even said he took a specialized class back in Italy (specifically the 😕 course) to learn about that paste...
And yes, those perfectly smooth cakes are indeed made from that material. 😁
I think I caught that one afternoon while I was staying out in Napa Valley... maybe during my first trip 🤔 or perhaps the second. 😁 It hasn't been on the tube lately, and honestly, I just haven't felt like tuning in.
For me, for example, I actually felt a bit more relaxed during my first visit because he was so conversational. He wasn't stiff at all, and things didn't feel quite as clinical or strict as they usually do with doctors. He never handled an exam so roughly that I'd think twice about coming back there. 😁
After our initial chat, he also told me to "take off my pants and underwear"—not my socks 😁—which almost made me burst out laughing because it reminded me of something else. 😁 Honestly, I’ve always had certain biases against male gynecologists. It wasn't that I questioned their motives, I just knew deep down I would never see a man; I'd only ever go to a woman. But when I met him, his laid-back attitude really helped ease those nerves. 😁
But we are all different. I'm sure some of my girlfriends wouldn't appreciate that "take off your pants and underwear" approach either. 🤣 😉
If I were in your shoes, knowing what I know now, 😁 I would have pushed through and finished that degree regardless of how much it took—even if it meant being stuck at home for three years straight. 😁 There is absolutely no way I would have enrolled in something at the Philosophy Department. Not languages, and certainly nothing even more tedious than that. I would have chosen a path that actually paid the bills and provided real utility, leaving my true passions for my free time.
Man, if only I had known this when I was eighteen. 😢
Edward Green Asks: Look, the amount he’s eating is perfectly fine if his goal is simply to maintain his current weight. However, that isn't the case here. For someone dealing with morbid obesity who needs to drop the pounds to avoid a fatal health crisis before they hit fifty, this calorie intake just doesn't cut it.
How you choose to describe someone weighing 297 pounds is entirely up to you. That’s a bit morbid. swiftowl10?
Emily Adams2 said:Fifteen years old and 275 pounds? How much are you actually moving during the day? Honestly, all those diets and calorie counting won't mean a thing if you spend your entire day glued to a computer playing Doom III and snacking on junk food. Having deli meat for dinner? Just so you know, your body isn't going to process that properly; it’ll just turn straight into fat, haha. Plus, processed deli meat is total garbage.
Give me a break. My brother spends half his day sitting at his desk too. From the moment he wakes up, he eats whatever he wants—and we aren't talking small snacks. He'll come home at 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning and practically clear out the fridge, topping it all off with half a jar of peanut butter, and he still never weighs more than 150 pounds...
And now everyone is jumping down his throat about eating junk, as if you people live on nothing but broccoli and kale. Imagine never having a sandwich or a slice of pizza in your life. Good luck with that. 🙄

A hearty stew or two chicken thighs, a Twix bar, and a sandwich for breakfast and dinner—is that really too much? Just how much would everyone weigh if we all judged everything by those standards?
