Anything like this?

I am hungry now.

Agree, that is why I do not like McDonalds (and the like) fries. I love the skin on a potato as long as it is not a Russet (too thick). If fried I prefer steak fries or, when eating a baked potato I eat it skin and all. My favorite are home fries, a potato cut into slices and fries in a skillet.

I like thick-skinned potatoes - but done a specific way. I love them wrapped in foil and baked in a fire, under the coals. We used to do that as kids - so much fun! Lots of fond memories.

Try as I might, I have never mastered chop sticks.

Me neither!

Yeah... chopsticks are confusing. Me trying to eat with chopsticks looks kinda like this.

Yes, it happens often. HOW do you do an hour-long Shavasana? I think 10 minutes is the longest I've ever done - I'd be catatonic otherwise.

I also do this thing every morning - like a systems check. Before I even get out of bed - full body stretch, leg stretch, foot flex and point, wrist rolls, listening for any kind of clicking or creaking.

It would probably turn into a nap after about 20 minutes

Chopsticks are easy.

Actually, once I spent about 2 weeks eating with only chopsticks. Went to an restaurant after that and using a fork to balance stuff was challenging

I'd tried it several times, but I keep running into my own fingers.

After spending many years with Chinese folk and a few Japanese too, I had no choice but to learn

Knowing my luck I'd probably get smacked a whole lot for smuggling forks to the dinner table.

Chopstick story from year ago, probably 40 years ago
I was watching a TV show where a news person was interviewing a Chinese chef, visiting the US, from China about Chinese cuisine. The new person decided to try and be, well to avoid the profanity filters, lets say funny... at the end of the interview and asked this question

News person: with all the cutting it takes to make a meal in China, jsut to make it so you can use chopsticks. Why is it that a country as civilized as China in its thousands of years of history, never came up with the spoon and the fork and continues to use something as archaic as chopsticks

The chef responded, without missing a beat and said

Chef: We had spoons and forks in ancient China, when we were barbarians...but when we became civilized we developed the chopstick

The news guys jaw dropped...interview was done

Depends on where you carry them when you sneak them in.

Well.... isn't the whole point of Shavasana to be relaxed but NOT to fall asleep?

 

[Xue Sheng]

Yup, but it would have been shavasana for 20 minutes and a nap for 40 and I would have been happy about it too

Besides Shavasana for me these days is more for straightening out my neck and upper back than anything else

 

[Xue Sheng]

And now..... without further adieu.....

XINGYIQUAN

There...I feel better now

I lothe my I-phone ten.

To me it is the Frank Dux of electronic toys.

I've been using a thin bolster under my spine a lot in my yoga classes lately. I really like it for back loosening and shoulder stretching. It feels weird at first, but it works really well to loosen up the upper body. Belly dancing works well too - there is a lot of upper body work involved, and it's a lot of slow, smooth movement, but very controlled.

We called a specialist. So you were culpable for calling the specialist?

Sounds like a baked potato without the skin. Cooking over/under the fire sound delicious.
