When women gain weight it tends to go to the hips first. For guys it?s the big bellies that hang over their pants.
They all piled multiple plates high with a ridiculous amount of food. If there were any individual flavors before they started piling the food on Will Hernandez Jersey , it?s a sure thing they didn?t last through the buffet line.
You see people in those places go after their dinner like down hill racers or pie eating contest competitors.
Or they yell ?Food fight!? except they toss, cram and snort the food down their throats instead of around the room. It?s like pigs at an indoor trough (oink).
They are going to eat all they can as fast as they can before someone else gets it. And it?s mostly junk food, too.
For those of us who really like food and want to savor it and truly appreciate it eating everything fast is just wrong. So are several pounds of food on one little plate.
A plate with a rim is only supposed to have food in the middle of the plate. There is not supposed to be food on the rim of the plate.
I bought some new china to add to my ever-growing collection. It is called ?Grand Gourmet?. It includes rimmed soup bowls that will hold 4 CUPS of soup in one serving. I only bought the salad plates because I DON?T WANT TO BE A GRAND GOURMET (translation, ?big eater?).
My grandparents had a farm. Every morning they would put milk in a cream separator. They would keep the cream and the whole milk for their use and save the skim milk for the pigs. Then they would add things they could feed the pigs throughout the morning. The pigs liked it fine, but I wouldn?t.
How can you enjoy the flavors if you just cram everything onto your plate and then down your throat as quickly as possible so then you can get MORE? After all if you want to get your money?s worth from an all-you-can-eat buffet you have to eat a LOT. Right?
Well, maybe not.
If you eat all that food frequently, you will gain weight and then pay a lot of money to doctors and hospitals for treatment for all the deadly health problems associated with obesity like high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.
And you will also pay more for health insurance than your peers who maintain a normal weight.
And you may die younger and special order a ?biggie size? coffin.
And that might not be where you want your Olympic event to end.
To me a plate is like a work of art. I want to be able to see and taste and enjoy all the flavors of a particular recipe, not a bunch of recipes all junked together and dumped into a pig trough of a plate.
A beautiful salad can be exquisite to the eye as well as the palate. And the aromas can be appreciated, too.
Think of the perfume of fresh ginger or pineapple or citrus.
Eating well is one of the great pleasures of life. Take time to enjoy it. Eat only the best and most flavorful foods. Skip the sugar and forget the competition to see who can eat the most. Your body is a temple. Treat it with the respect it deserves.
TIANJIN, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- A documentary chronicling the culture of public square dancing, a favorite pastime of middle-aged and elderly Chinese women, has started filming in north China's Tianjin Municipality.
The documentary will be split into 100 episodes and will be filmed over three years, according to director Cui Yongshi.
"The documentary will be about square dancing, and the film crew will go to 31 provincial regions in China to tell the stories of people who enjoy dancing," Cui said.
The documentary will use buildings in public squares as a backdrop to show the rapid development in Chinese cities, Cui said.
Square dancing has become a favorite activity among aging Chinese people, mostly women. But when these "dama" -- as the older women are called in China -- bust their moves in public, conflicts sometimes arise.
In 2014, residents in a district in eastern China's Zhejiang Province went toe-to-toe with a noisy group of square dancers by using loudspeakers to blast music and drown out the dancing women.
BEIJING, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Chinese commercial property giant Wanda Commercial has signed strategic investment agreements with several Internet giants to upgrade its retail business, the company announced Monday.
The investor group, including tech giant Tencent, leading e-commerce players Suning and JD, and property developer Sunac, plans to invest about 34 billion yuan (5.37 billion U.S. dollars) to buy around a 14-percent equity interest in Wanda Commercial that is held by investors who purchased the stake upon the company's delisting from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the company said in a statement on its website.
The partnership represents one of the world's largest single strategic investments between Internet companies and brick-and-mortar commercial giants, according to the company.
Wanda Commercial is the flagship company of Dalian Wanda Group, and is the world's biggest commercial property firm. As of the end of 2017, the company held 31.51 million square meters of operating commercial property spaces with 235 Wanda Plazas operating in China.
After the strategic investment, Wanda Commercial will be renamed as Wanda Commercial Management Group, which aims to sell off its existing for-sale properties in the next one to two years.
The company will stop engaging in property development and will turn to solely focusing on commercial management. The relevant parties will strive to take the company public as soon .
