Six Shocking Foods That Are Keeping You Single

If your deodorant doesn’t get you through the day, your DIET might be to blame.  Here are six foods that can make you stink . . .

1.  Red meat.  It’s hard to digest and leaves residue behind in your digestive tract, which mixes with bacteria and comes out in your sweat.  A study in 2006 found women were more attracted to guys who were vegetarians, because their sweat smelled better.

2.  Alcohol.  Most of it gets metabolized by your liver.  But a tiny amount comes out in your sweat.  So you end up smelling like a stale beer.

3.  Fish can make SOME people smell bad.  There’s a metabolic disorder called “fish odor syndrome” where it makes your sweat smell fishy.  It’s rare though, and you’d probably know if you had it.

4.  Broccoli and asparagus because they both have a lot of sulfur.  They’re good for you though, so don’t stop eating them.  If they make you smell bad, try cooking them in boiling water instead of steaming them.  That should eliminate most of the smell.

5.  Garlic.  It has another sulfuric compound called allicin.  (Pronounced like the name Alison.)  It’s not necessarily a bad smell though.  A few studies have found that some people are actually turned on by it.

6.  Coffee.  It might not make you smell worse on its own.  But stimulants like caffeine make you sweat more.  So you could end up sweating out more of those OTHER odors we just talked about.

This interview is a deep dive into his wrestling career and how it lead him to the boutique exercise studio lifestyle.

Don’t Like Baggage Fees? Well Don’t Try What This Guy Did!

Friends

There’s a guy from London named Ryan Williams who just did what we’ve all DREAMED of doing to fight baggage fees.  But unfortunately . . . it didn’t work.

Ryan was flying from Iceland back to London last week and he didn’t want to pay the $65 fee to check a bag.  So he put on eight pairs of pants and 10 shirts and tried to get on the plane.

Unfortunately, the agents at the gate figured out what he was doing and they told him he couldn’t fly like that.  So he tried to get on a different airline . . . but they ALSO caught him and stopped him.

He wound up getting a refund for his ticket, though . . . and eventually flew home on a third airline.  There’s no word on whether they made him pay to check his stuff. (The Complete Sheet)

(Pat’s) Tom’s Take: Kingsman 2

The right kind of stupid! Kingsman: The Golden Circle is the ridiculous sequel to the 2014 action/comedy Kingsman: The Secret Service. The first movie is a great popcorn flick that 100% nails director Matthew Vaughn’s mission statement of making spy movies fun again. I will always take a Kingsman movie over a joyless James Bond movie.

The secret sauce of these spy movies is a smart mix of well-directed action scenes, clever use of music, and some of the best casting choices of the last ten years. The most stand out casting decisions of the first movie was giving Samuel L Jackson a lisp and making Colin Firth into an action star. The Golden Circle standouts are a wonderfully villainous Julian Moore and all of the American Statesmen. Trust me. Channing Tatum, Pedro Pascal, Halle Berry, and Jeff Bridges have enough charisma to carry an original movie.

Taron Egerton is still the star of the show and does a fantastic job of carrying the heart of the movie. Watching Eggsy mature as a character is more rewarding than it should be.

As for the spoiler in all the trailers. It is a bummer, but the movie does more with the twist beyond the reveal, so that isn’t a reason to skip. Personally, I thought killing off Colin Firth’s character Harry was a mistake. More importantly, there are a handful of better twists that help make up The Golden Circle’s 141 minutes run time.

Quick warning! This movie isn’t for kids and the opening “look how evil the villain is” scene is shockingly gross. Maybe skip ahead once you realize where it is going.

I hope they make a third.

{Katie’s Kitchen} Chicken and Shrimp Fajitas

Tender Chicken, juicy shrimp and onions and peppers bursting with flavor all over a warm tortilla…you’ve got me! Also, seriously soooo easy for a weeknight dinner. One pan and dinner is on the table quick.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and start choppin’! Green and red bell pepper (or whatever colors you like best) and a small red onion. Then slice chicken into thin pieces and peel your shrimp.

Toss it all into a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder and mix together.

Grab a pan and spread it all out evenly and put into oven.
If you’re just doing shrimp, then cook for 14 mins and broil for another 2 just to give it a little extra crisp.

I did shrimp and chicken…so you want to cook the chicken for 20-22 mins.

Squeeze fresh lime juice over everything and heat up your tortillas.

andddd if you really want to get fancy.. break out the avocado, corn, cheese, and sour cream for toppings.

I got the recipe here!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced thin
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
  • 1 small red onion, sliced thin
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
  •  freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoon of chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • lime
  • tortillas
