I Couldn't Sleep, Planned My Restaurant Guests, and Spiraled on Cheese

Lehan Edirisinghe

Morning thoughts circled cheese, Italian food, and restaurant guest plans. A restless night with a cat led into lunch errands A restless morning loop: cats, lunch errands, and me thinking about cheese like it's a strategy memo. I drift into Italian food cravings, guest-reservation fantasies

Italian Food, Huge Burgers and Remembered French Cheese

Wow

I love Italian food best

There is nothing quite like it

But I can't for the life of me, fit such a big sandwich in my mouth

Some people make massive burgers

My mouth just isn't that big lol

I dunno

I have had to break some burgers, up, and then eat

In the UK, their portion sizes are huge

I often would struggle, finish later onwards

I like cheese

Umm

One of my french friends

Who I can't see right now

I can't remember her name

She once gave me this french cheese on toast

It wasn't french toast, but some french cheese

And we did the dishes together

Also

It was the best cheese I had

Even though I threw it in the bin that day

It is now, as I recollect, very good cheese

And she picked the 1 she liked

American Cheese, Weight and Favorite Cheeses

I am a fan of American cheese

I love American cheese

It's the best kind there is

I like American cheese, which is what we use for burgers

1. American Cheese

2. Cheddar

3. I actually like cream cheese

███████████, I don't watch my weight

or my mouth

And I just do whatever I want

I can eat and eat, and I don't get fat

Because my body burns calories like a furnace

The brain is active, so it burns 30% of all energy

Many smart people are super, super skinny

If you're thinking all the time, you're burning calories

Not that, you can force people to think a lot

It's worth going to the gym maybe

But people who are stressed, lose weight

Adam Grant, Krishan maybe, every tech CEO, Bill Gates

10. Ricotta or provolone or brie (little) or blue cheese with brisket slices

***

But yeah, obviously

Nothing beats American Cheese, the leader of the cheese world

American Cheese Tariffs, Soda Pop and No Diet

American cheese can put cheese tariffs on anyone, and make the other cheeses go out of business

American cheese can annex any other cheese's top spot anywhere

American cheese is the greatest

I love, how I never have to go on a diet

I'm on a steady diet of soda pop ███████████████

Nobody ever died for my sins in hell
