So many luscious good-fat sauces! I also have a new goal in regaining my health - to heal myself to the point where despite my history of gluten intolerance I can taste the recipes in this book in order to be sure they are seasoned right for family and guests. With a well composed meal, I hope that everyone will be able to pick and choose based upon their own dietary strategy.
Also excited about BBS. I can’t do full extension with my right arm due to an old injury, and this seems to be irrelevant in the BBS way of lifting. Totally digging the science lessons too!

Dena, Rollins is one interesting guy - I’ve liked the various bands and iterations of them he’s been in, and he gives interesting, even wild interviews. Actor, philosopher, not your average punk rocker, that guy.
He really is. Very atypical in most aspects. I’ve read all his books and am re-reading Get In The Van again because I’m a big Black Flag fan (Rollins era). Also a big Rollins Band fan as well, End Of Silence is a fantastic album.
I used go to to bed listening to his spoken word tapes (long live the Walkman!!!) when I was like 12 years old. Biggest crush on him for so many years lol. He was also awesome along side Charlie Sheen in the movie The Chase.
Something I thought that was really cool about him was the fact that he’s only ever smoked weed ONE time in his life, and has been drunk a tick more, but barely. Being in Black Flag and that whole scene, where he’d bloody himself on stage, was done totally sober lol. Unlike someone like GG Allin who would literally shit himself on stage, but totally obliterated. I love atypical people.
Also love Greg Graffin, lead singer of Bad Religion. Has a PhD, philosopher, well spoken, great vocabulary, and comes out to play shows in Izod shirts and khakis. Business casual punk rocker–ATYPICAL.
But I’ll tell you what, I went to see Bad Religion on their last album tour, and even though dude wore an Izod shirt and khakis, there was a pit going the entire time, from the beginning of the set to the end.
I saw bad religion and Henry Rollins play at a place called Mississippi Nights in St. Louis way back in like 95-96 when I was technically too young to get in. It was awesome
How did I not know about this thread? Let’s get it off the ground again!
I love to read. When I’m reading a physical book lately it’s typically something by Gaiman or Pratchett (or both- ‘Good Omens’ anyone?). Gaiman’s recent novel ‘The Ocean at the end of the lane’ deeply affected me, not that it was meant to be that kind of book but nonetheless, it struck a chord.
Also bang up for George R.R. Martins ASOIF (although @juice will promptly disavow me now…) which I blame on a childhood love of Tolkien that gave me a high tolerance for twatwaffle. Also a fan of Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts, the Magician series and the Daughter/Mistress/Empress of the Empire series being my faves.
So physical books = I am a huge fantasy sci-fi nerd
I also love audiobooks, but my tastes are totally different there. I cannot abide fiction in an audio format but non-fiction? Totally there for it.
Just finished Greg Lukianoff & Jonathan Haidt’s ‘The Coddling of the American Mind’ which had my jaw on the floor frequently, but ultimately left me with a lot of hope. Kind of a must read in my book (no pun intended).
Have just started Robert Sapolsky’s ‘Behave’ which my brother recommended to me as the single most important book he has ever read. High praise, and so far it’s living up to it!
Have been reading it regularly since I was teen & it never fails to make me LOL
