I am making a commitment: I will be eating nothing but boring GRUELS until the end of 2022.
Hold me to it.
I made a blogpost: "The Beginning of A Grueling Diet", laying out the rules by which I will hold myself

I am totally serious about this and I think it will even be a good idea.

Exceptions: visiting friends and family and going on dates.
for a moment I thought you likened the programming mechanism of throwing exceptions to the processes of visiting relatives and dating people
the worst thing is that I kinda understood the reference before going "no wait I parsed it wrong"
@cwebber if I did this I'm sure I'd just end up with delicious pottage recipes..
@joeyh sounds like a win
@cwebber Still,you can make Chocolate Fruit or even Ganache with this...
@cwebber You might wish to add an exception for being sick, too.
@cwebber I misread that as "GRUES" and I thought -- hang on, surely it's the other way round, you don't eat them, they eat you? 😋
@cwebber I have a cookbook, somewhere, with an entire section... but they are not very boring ones.
@cwebber Come to denmark - we have a gruel restaurant chain
@Tak I am happy someone did this since I do not have a spare life to do it
@hankg Hey that's a great post, and actually exactly the kind of food I'm talkin' bout here :)
Exceptions: visiting friends and family and going on dates. I will be allowed to eat non-gruels, to be social.
Fresh fruit, vegetables, and more rarely nuts and baking chocolate are also permitted in unlimited quantities.
