Neat. I'll be sure to swing by both of those places, then.

Anything I can do to help with some of the repairs or do the prinnies have that on lock?

[becomemod]

The prinnies have it handled, but thank you for the offer.

[stunwhistle]

Alright, fair enough.

...were you on your way somewhere? It didn't seem like you were very settled in over here.

[becomemod]

Yeah, I was thinking about lunch. Want to come with?

[stunwhistle]

I could eat. What sounds good to you?

[becomemod]

I could go for some curry. It's been a while since I've had that.

[stunwhistle]

Sounds good! Lead the way.

[he will follow. god i want curry now]

[becomemod]

[ He does just walk them over to a small restaurant and orders himself some medium beef curry. ]

[stunwhistle]

[he'll order the same! once it comes out, he'll take a bite - ]

Oh, this is really good.

[becomemod]

Right? It's amazing how good it is. They probably make their spices right here instead of using a roux.

[stunwhistle]

What kind of spices do you think goes into this?

[becomemod]

Hmm... I'd guess tumeric, coriander, and star anise at least. There's a lot that goes into making good curry so it's hard to know all the spices.

[stunwhistle]

Huh. I'll have to remember that.

[he would like to eat this again back home, thanks]

[becomemod]

[ They take another mouthful and consider something. ]

Before I came here I used to live with someone who took curry seriously. They were sure they could live off it for every single meal for a whole year.

As much as I like curry, that definitely felt excessive.

[stunwhistle]

Yeah, this stuff tastes good, but you'd definitely need a balanced diet. Eating the same thing over and over for a year is a bad idea - your body wouldn't be getting all the nutrients it needs.

[will stop being a medical nerd for two seconds challenge]

[becomemod]

That's what I said. eventually I got to get on the cooking rotation. I can't cook anything really fancy, but I can at least balance a meal.

Also people are just going to get sick of curry sooner or later if that's all they can eat.

[stunwhistle]

Yeah, no kidding. Too much of a good thing, and all...

What's your favorite thing to cook?

[becomemod]

It's gotta be fried rice. You can make a ton of it and there's all sorts of ways to customize it. You can do seafood if you're feeling really fancy, but it's also great if you need to use up what you have in the fridge.

[stunwhistle]

[he laughs, taking another bite of his curry]

That makes sense. It's a really versatile dish.

[becomemod]

Right? What's not to like?

What about you, any favorite foods?

[stunwhistle]

I'm not too picky. [he shrugs.] Eggs are pretty good, though. Sunny-side up.

[is this an apollo joke]

[becomemod]

Eggs, huh? That's a good pick. They're good for a lot of stuff, and sunny side up with toast makes for a pretty good breakfast.

[stunwhistle]

Yep! And a balanced breakfast is an important way to start your day, so, y'know. Can't really go wrong with sunny-side up eggs and dark toast.

[becomemod]

Good taste.

[stunwhistle]

Thanks.

How do you usually start your day?
