Because getting in shape shouldn't suck

I’ve seen 200 pounds of beef cooked over a spit before, so I know you can do really big meat that way. But a whole turkey falls into an awkward zone: Too big for the regular grill rotisserie, too small for the giant version.
A turkey breast, though … that you can do on the grill.

I like to cook. But even I sometimes eat out. I realized I shouldn’t assume everyone has the same reasons as me. So how about it? Why do you eat out?

I don’t believe in diets. I mean, I know they exist, it’s not the same as saying I don’t believe in unicorns and Bigfoot. But I don’t believe they work. I could pull up all kinds of statistics to back that up, but that’s just boring. And I have much better things to bore you with.
Like mice.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
And started eating Brussels sprouts. What the hell was I waiting for, these things are good!
But yeah, you might want to go with something else if you’re going to be in a small room with anyone else after you eat them. Cabbage farts linger …

Grilling a perfect steak* is all about getting a great crust without overcooking the inside. Which is easier if it’s thin rather than thick. That’s right — those nice thick steaks everyone loves are harder to cook right.

Don’t listen to anyone who tells you there’s a “right” recipe for shrimp scampi. As long as it starts with butter and garlic — and shrimp, of course — it’s pretty hard to go wrong.
Actually … that’s true of just about any recipe.

What do we say about bacon, kids? All together now:
Everything’s better with bacon!
That’s right, even green beans are good if you add some bacon in there. Bacon fat, actually. You do store your rendered bacon fat, don’t you?

Reason #743 that I don’t like most diets* is that the authors assume everyone is just like them. We’re not. Like I said before, “You are not me.”
One diet that I really want to like is the No S Diet. The entire plan is summed up in 14 words:
Except (sometimes) on days that start with “S”.
I love the simplicity of it. I love how sensible it is. I love everything about it, except …

This recipe is not just easy, it’s versatile. You can serve it as-is, and it makes a great hearty dinner. Or pick the meat off the chicken pieces, put everything back in the pot, add water and lentils and turn it into soup.
Personally, I’d rather have the lentils on the side, since they turn the chicken an ugly color. But it’s really easy to store cups of prepared soup to eat the rest of the week.
