In my defense… I wanted to show them that I’m not the messy one in the house. For some reason just because I’m lazy and fart more than the others they think all the messes in the house are my fault. I figured if I clean up and it stays that way for a full week I’ll prove my point. **Spiderman** I cleaned out all of the Greek Yogurt and other healthy foods they had in there if that helps any. ---

You better have a steak salad in that menu somewhere. Steak, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, barbeque sauce. Pure, manly deliciousness. I find it’s best enjoyed with a good home brew, but I think everything’s better with a bottle of homey, so YMMV. **Lynn Bodoni** , I only regret that I read that Marlboro Man sandwich link _after_ I had dinner. ---

> [@Lynn\_Bodoni](#): > > Also, I am scared to make [Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich](http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/06/marlboro_mans_f/), because I’m afraid that if I start making it, I won’t be allowed to stop. I’m not sure if this is allowed anywhere for a 50 year old man, but “OMG.” I’m not sure how you could make something sound better unless you found a way to add sex as an ingredient. I may need to figure out a way to make them stay away for another week so I can try everything suggested. ---

Another version of the “[Ultimate Sandwich](http://www.acole.com/novels/sten/recipe.html#sten-8).” ---

You can always make that sandwich tomorrow. I’ve never made it. If we have round steak or cubed round steak in the house, I am only allowed to use it for chicken fried steak, and I must make mashed potatoes and gravy too. My husband gets really unhappy at the thought of ANY round steak not being turned into chicken fried steak. I linked to the sandwich because it’s a stereotypical Man Food, and I’d like to try it sometime, but I’m not willing to put up with the sighs and pouts I’d get if I didn’t make CFS. Just about all of Pioneer Woman’s recipes qualify as Man Food, even a lot of her Cowgirl Food. ---

I dunno, that’s kind of like “if a tree falls in the forest & there’s no woman around to hear it, are you still wrong for not asking directions”, or somtin’ like dat. Without witnesses, they’ll probably only assume that you were a slob all week & cleaned up on the last day. I’m just sayin you could’ve saved your energy for something more worthwhile, like watching final four, hockey, & the Mythbusters blow something up; simultaneously. While also surfing for porn on the intertubes! :dubious: ---

I think I’ve created a monster here… I also love Chicken Fried Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Cream Gravy. And nobody else in my family does so this would be perfect to make this week. I also want to make grilled shrimp, and the Pioneer Woman’s sandwich, and White Castles, and Tennessee flank steak, and Cheetos, and Pizza, something/anything from the deep fryer, and… I’m running out of days. I’m not sure if my boss will accept that I’m calling in because I have too many meals to make to be at work today. And that is just the food… I haven’t even touched on the wonderful TV I’ve been missing while my wife has us tuned into House Hunters International. I can watch auctions of storage containers in several different parts of the country! And I can dream about making any number of different customizations to muscle cars or trucks that I don’t own. And Pawning stuff has never been so glamorous! The world is my chili cheese dog! ---

I’m just sayin you could’ve saved your energy for something more worthwhile, like watching final four, hockey, & the Mythbusters blow something up; simultaneously. While also surfing for porn on the intertubes! :dubious: Hey, I took a picture of my meal on a very clean counter top (carefully staged to avoid the stack of dishes by the sink). And I am watching the final four… and I watched Sons of Guns blow stuff up… and I’m from the Mid West so we don’t know what Hockey is here (kidding, one of my good friends is an ex pro player… but I’ll admit I’m not a big fan). Porn… I’m sure I’ve got some filters set up so I couldn’t possibly look for that. Of course I could text either my 14 or 15 year old son to find out how to get around them. ---

I made t[his](http://twolumps.net/d/20120208.html) for my recovering heart patient. He reminded me that he hasn’t put me in his will yet, so I should probably not do it again. Until next weekend. ---

Someone who posts under the name **flatlined** makes meat muffins for a recovering heart patient… seems appropriate. Also sounds good. I’m about to fry us some more of the peppered bacon and then fry a couple of eggs in the drippings. My wife and kids say this ruins the eggs. I swear she had an affair and these aren’t kids from my gene pool. ---

You should fry up some potatoes in that bacon grease, too. And put some diced onion in there as well. You can add some cooking oil if you don’t have enough bacon grease. ---

Thread title notwithstanding, I’m assuming you’ll plop the seat down from time to time, to relax and take a load off, as it were. Given all this conspicuous meat consumption, I’m thinking you’ll be spending some quality time on the throne. Now obviously the door will remain open: will you be enjoying premium cable from your seat? Or do you have other reading materials at the ready? ---

Well sure, it will go down when needed (I’m not a cave man) but for the majority of the time it should be up for a quick trip in and out without having to bother bending over and lifting the seat up just to put it back down 20 seconds later.
