The fridge is crucial – nice fridge btw, pretty healthy.

You should post that video, it can’t be as half bad as I am. I probably chew 2-4 times max. on each bite. It’s a nasty habit – but I haven’t heard any conclusive reasons as to why…except that the faster you eat the faster you tend to get hungry.

I was in no hurry, but after watching it I saw I was eating like a horse practicing shoveling in my food. It made me slow down a lot. At least I think I do.

I’ll put it on YouTube if I get brave enough sometime.

I save my money for good meals at nicer restaurants, or nice wine or drinks at night. And if you have a busy day you aren’t obligated to plunk yourself down at a cafe for an hour when hungry getting served and tipping when you really want to be doing other stuff.

I just spent a few days in Mexico, and the first stop was the local grocery store. Here’s a photo of my fridge:

I probably went through about seven of those huge water bottles over four days. And on another budget note – if you find a real grocery store you pay less for all this food. Plus the chorizo and fresh tomatoes I bought were wonderful to cook up.

I’ve got the water down, but eating slowly…

@ Stina:

That’s one lesson I’ve been working on, but not much progress 😛
