These days? Actually yeah, this is pretty much how it goes. Maybe I should diversify my hobbies. Then again, if I keep meeting people like you, who am I to complain?

Nah, teaching takes a lot of brain power. Thinking needs calories. I remember always hearing to get a good night's sleep and eat a good breakfast on testing days for that reason.
Ha. No. I know someone who is a nurse, but you're the only one who's come out of retirement for the city. Although I suspect you never really stopped even if no you longer got paid for it.
I will accept that we both need more calories than we got and that it both matters. Even if I still think yours matters more than mine.
Salads and pastas are good choices though, so I can't knock that. Most nights my meals are thirty minute ones. I'm gonna brag and say they're still good, but nothing too fancy. I save those for when I have company or I'm stress cooking.
Meals that take more time to develop their flavors and also have more components to them to round out the dish. Curries, soups, roasted poultry and vegetables, braised meats, homemade pastas and slow-cooked sauces, things like that.
Hawaiian shorts seem pretty comfortable from how they've been described to me. Though I just have gym shorts on hand, unfortunately. My closet isn't all that colorful.

I think you did an excellent job with the rest of it. I only had a banana for lunch, while I’m here lecturing you to eat more.

Sure but not as many as fighting criminals in the streets: you still win.

That was a really nice meal, thank you.

Thank you, it wouldn't have happened without some good teamwork.
I'm sure you're tired. I don't want to keep you up.

Don’t worry about me, but you probably should go, I don’t want to keep you too long.
