Carnita bowls tonight. With guacamole, pico de gallo, refritos, spanish rice, sour cream, chopped lettuce & tomatoes and carnitas. All of this yummy goodness will be ensconced in a baked flour tortilla bowl. Dessert is dark chocolate black forest cake (made from our very own home-made canned cherry pie filling). The beverage will be iced herbal peach tea and then later, shots of tequila with salt and lime wedges (yum). 
Last night was a fabulous grilled Stilton steak rib eye w/ plenty of sauce.
Roasted ears of Canna butter corn washed down with St. Louis' finest (Bud).
It looks like I get to pretend I'm a bachelor tonight so I'm just going to pull some snow crab out of the freezer.
Followed with of course, a Bud (and then some more Bud).

due to timing at work, dunno whether my lunch is my dinner and if my dinner is just over indulgence.
"Dinner" was fillet and sirloin steaks fried and flambeed in port, then added to a chopped tomato rosemary and thyme sauce, with some tagliatelle, just threw something together for the kitchen and waiting staff, so "indulgence" is i think noodles with king prawns and dried anchovies

I just finished cooking and I read your post. Now I wish I had rib eye and snow crab.
(but the food turned out delicious. my sinister-in-law is already licking the plate)
Carne - the Steaks & sauce were the bomb, but the corn takes the cake.I just finished cooking and I read your post. Now I wish I had rib eye and snow crab.
Seriously, try that recipe & let me know your impression.
You'll like it.
Edit: *Oops forgot to give the recipe to you*
Corn, salt, pepper, garlic powder & 2 heaping tbsp canna butter. Wrap in foil & cook on the grill (medium heat) for about 45 minutes.
*Done properly with good C/B, you just might forget your birthday.*

As this is a thread about eating I wonder how many folks out there may think they have a
eating disorder?
I perceive 90% of my eating experience is less than enjoyable.
Most of the time I justify why I do not eat by exploiting real experiences.
When I offer my rendition of the days dining adventure I give the good
credit to where it belongs and will vilify all who preform less than what is reasonably expected.
It may be as small as ordering sweet tea and getting unsweetened tea,
death to the wench that forgets to leave a straw and any who would bring me
a Pepsi when a Coke was ordered shall rot in hell in some alternate world.
That is enough to trigger a switch that I can not get past. once that switch is tripped there is no
turning it back on. at that point I may stop eating and it may be a day or two before i get back to normal,
if there is a normal outside of disappointment.
I have described a very real Thai experience previously. And another dismal occurrence at our
local outback steak house. These are not isolated experiences. 99% of my
dinning out experience is shat upon by some anomaly or another no matter if it is taco bell or
the local 5* fine dining establishments.
I dread going out to eat now as my defenses are up before I walk into any eatery.
One restaurant or two every few years would be nothing to complain about.
When it is every restaurant [100%] I enter is pissing me off before i get to the door,
as in one of tonight's demons, and even still not being happy at the end of the day
even after after going to 2 other "respectable" places to eat.
I can not believe 'I' am the problem 100% of the time at every restaurant.
anyone else have a eating disorder? or know someone that does?

Trigger is a very appropriate word. Do you get these triggers in other aspects of your life or is it just related to food?As this is a thread about eating I wonder how many folks out there may think they have a

I know this sounds like a pat answer but... have you looked into therapy? I'm not saying you're crazy I'm just saying you're three walnuts short of a fruitcake. (kidding)
But seriously. Go talk to a therapist and work it out. It has been my experience that people aren't that motivated until the pain of the problem overcomes the pain of the solution. It sounds like you're getting to that point. Find a good therapist. Hash it out (no pun intended). Find a damned good restaurant to celebrate.

No offense taken and your advice is on the mark. good restaurant? in my local area hahahahahahahah
its funny but the best I have found here is Ruby Tuesday's chain. But only when
excellent Eric is working. lol. long story but that's how the waiter introduced himself
"Hi my name is Excellent Eric and it is my privilege to be your server tonight"
dude did awesome, we tipped him well and called a manager over to our table to tell them what good service Eric had
provided. I usually won't say boo, good or bad most of the time, but that Eric was on top of his game.
thanks for your positive input to a delicate matter.
