Tyson has led a very interesting life. You're right about the ups and downs. From troubled youth to Gus finding him as a teenager and being his father figure until he went pro. Once the predator promotor, Don King, had his hooks in his money, he was doomed to be penniless and thrown away when the well was dry. He spent lavishly, tigers and other exotic wildlife, overextended himself and was paycheck to paycheck. His paychecks were Hugungous still. He was then convicted of rape and spent 1+ year in prison. He was treated like a king in prison by the shot callers and COs. After prison, it took a minute for another right to develop. He started fighting unknowns way below hi*****hing weight. Then came Evander Holyfield and eating his ear for lunch. Fast forward and he was never in the same physical condition. After years, he got sober and started pursuing other business ventures. His ability and earning power were greatly diminished. He did a one man Broadway show. He started a cannabis company. He created his own designer line of weed. He owns weed farms. He gives back to the community. He mentors. He's a Buddhist. Family and spirituality are now #1 in his life.

He's still a killer. After Jake Paul talked trash, Tyson was Travis's saying Paul is a manufactured killer. Tyson said he's a natural born killer...

Morning all and it's Friday!

It's also known as gotcha day in my household. I'm picking up my new dog at noon from the shelter. I'm so excited to incorporate him into my life.

I also got the DMV new car license plate situation resolved, for now. I spent 3 unnecessary visits to the DMV, waited 2 hours in wrong lines that I was directed to, one unnecessary doctors visit when I didn't need al another doctor disabled certification, one $316 check that wasn't needed, a check for a $2300 taxes that was already paidone hours long phone call to the main DMV in Springfield, holding to my guns and addressing inconsistency of directive from employee to employee,at least 8 angry DMV employees, and a partridge and a pear tree. So glad to have accomplished my goal.

My clubs anniversary dinner is tomorrow so I currently have 216 drinks in my back seat.

QOTD- no meal prep on the weekend. However, each time I eat out, I meal prep the leftovers for a future meal.

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt.

L: grilled octopus, &evoo, lemon, salad.

D: baby back ribs and green beans.

Hi gang. Happy Friday! Though, it really doesn't have a lot of meaning for me. We really don't have much going on this weekend. JB has class prep, and she might have her BFF over. And we've got Thanksgiving planning, in a big way. We've got at least 24 people here for dinner, so we need to figure stuff out.

QOTD: I've never done weekly -- or daily -- meal prep. But my meals are pretty basic. I often have sausages in the morning. Open the bag, put 8 sausages in the airfrier, and boom, meal prep done. I had cheeseburgers twice yesterday. Patty, cheese, done. It works for me.

Have a great weekend all.

Good Friday morning everyone. I have a half day at work today, so I have to make sure I get everything done before I leave at noon.

Any plans for the weekend? My husband wants to watch the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight tonight on Netflix. I think Mike is just doing it for some extra cash. Yet he does look pretty good for 58.

The weather looks to be in the 60's so I might do something outside around the house.

QOTD: Does anyone do weekly meal prepping on the weekends? That is one thing for the most part that I still do. Every now and again I'll make something different during the week, but most everything has already been made or planned out each weekend. For me it makes things easier during week when I get home from work.

B: coffee and protein shake

L: TBD

D: baked haddock with sweet potato fries

Have a wonderful Friday!!!

While I have certain dishes I make all the time I also love cooking new types of food especially stuff I've had at a restaurant. Like the bok choy soup I make. A few years ago I had a type of soup at a Thai restaurant that I loved so I set out to figure out how to make it myself. I've tweaked it a bit here and there, but the actual taste is almost identical to what I had at the restaurant.

I also love to experiment with different ways of cooking things. The only thing I have not tried yet is sous vide. I have one, just haven't used it yet. I might try it with a venison roast I was given.
