Hunger Games

The food was so good, so good that it made me and Tiwa go through a weird existential crisis. The restaurant we went to was setup as an indoor street food place with multiple restaurants that serve different types of cuisine. You scan the QR code on the table and you order...you can mix and match your order like have a pizza for starters and Korean sweet and sour fried chicken and rice for mains. That was exactly what I did.


The last time we came, I had just the pizza like a normal person and Tiwa had the sweet and sour fried chicken which I had some of.


This is good


So good Ope


I think I will order it


Dude you have not even finished your pizza


Tiwa talked me down from that idea. That was in Feb though, before Tiwa broke her leg and before I caught a court case. A.J also increased her vocabulary over night so all of a sudden I was receiving instructions from two people. It was hard, so hard that it made our family stronger. You know how they say adversary makes you stronger, yeah that type of adversary. We had to dig deep as a couple and I don’t know about Tiwa, but the one thing that gave me strength during this hard time was the thought of going to Sheffield and dropping AJ with mum and going back to Kommune to order a Pizza for starters and that Korean sweet and sour fried chicken and rice for mains. That is exactly what I did. Actually I did it the order way round, I had the Korean sweet and sour fried chicken for starters and pizza for mains.


This is good


You must really like this food o, you have just being saying "its good, its good"


Dude it is so so good


I know, when will they bring my own though.


Tiwa’s food was lagging because she was “exploring the menus” before she ordered her food. I had been dreaming about the sweet and sour chicken for months, I ordered as soon as I got the table number.


You can have some of mine while you wait.


I don't share food, but this food was too good not to share, plus I also get the chance to eat out of hers after I was done with mine. It was so good, it required tactical planning.


They brought her food just as I was finishing mine, just like I had anticipated. The flow of the sweet and sour chicken into my stomach was not interrupted.


Are you still gonna order pizza


I have ordered it already


Dude, we are still going to cineworld and you are going stuff your face with candy king



I don’t see the correlation


Dude its a lot of food


I deserve it man


Are you not suppose to be a stoic, dont you have a self control symbol as a tattoo?


Number 1, we will share the pizza...


Ope I am bursting...


Number 2, there is no perfect stoic, its an ideal. A stoic should aim to better themselves, we are allowed to make mistakes, its not like I do this everyday, I am not going to come here tomorrow and order the same thing!


We were interrupted by the pizza. It was so good.


I went through half the pizza when I had the out of body experience and saw the full picture. Tiwa was sat opposite me, slouched into the chair (you know how you sit when you have had way too much food) with some of the sweet and sour left on her plate, meanwhile I was there stuffed and still attempting to continue stuffing my face with the rest of the pizza.


Gross.


Tiwa people are starving in the world you know...and look at us!


I know Ope, it is fucked up.


This is like those people wasting food in hunger games while people were out there fighting for survival


Yup, Ope the world is on giant hunger games...and we are part of the douches


Oh my God. I feel guilty


It is not a good look


But the food is so good though


It is so good Ope.


I am still not sure if we were being gluttons or the food was just that good it made us question the meaning of life. We eat out a lot and we have had a lot of amazing experiences and we have had one or two instances where we ordered too much, not once did we think hmmm children are starving. This time around though, the food was so good and so abundant (read inexpensive)...it just felt abit unfair.


We made ourselves feel better by committing to follow through on one of the stoic practices; practicing hardship. We will have a month where will live on the barest minimum, we will build our character and marriage, and most importantly I can come back here and order korean sweet and sour fried chicken with rice and my pizza in peace without feeling guilty.


The food was so good. I cannot over state this.
