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?

[becomemod]

It varies a lot, but usually a coffee and whatever breakfast we've made. Sometimes it's last night's leftovers because I'm in a rush.

[stunwhistle]

[he nods]

Well, leftovers for breakfast is definitely better than eating nothing at all. Good on you for not skipping it.

[becomemod]

Yeah, definitely. I try not to skip meals when I can help it.

[stunwhistle]

I wish more people would do that. Try not to skip meals, I mean. The sheer number of times I've had to treat people for dizziness after they've been through a day of training and had to remind them that they really need to eat and drink if they're gonna be working out...

[becomemod]

Sounds like they got real absorbed in whatever they were doing. It can be hard when you're really focused.

What kinda training is it? For sports or something else?

[stunwhistle]

Combat, usually...

[becomemod]

Combat? What are you fighting?

[stunwhistle]

...how much do you know about Greek myths?

[becomemod]

The broad strokes of it.

[stunwhistle]

[he shrugs]

So you know there's monsters and stuff in the myths. Well, as it turns out? Those monsters are real.
