FWIW I consider this light on garlic
I think in order to break all of @Tradegood’s excellent advice I gotta go full French Bistro, caramelize those onions for the french onion soup, cook the perfect medium rare steak, and double down on the IBS by making profiteroles for dessert
The answer is here. Make something you are very practiced in/good at, because you’ll be the most confident doing it i.e. ooh la la
Nine times out of ten I’d make something with a lot of garlic. It’s important to be honest about who you are
I would save the garlic and onions for when you’re cooking for your date and company…
I like the pizza idea
Heads up: garlic and onions are prone to upsetting people’s stomach. If you haven’t seen them eat them before, be careful. Same goes for dairy.
Definitely inquire about dietary restrictions or sensitivities before committing to anything, even if you think you know them well enough already.
Two part question:
a) can I just be a guy who wears overalls instead of pants?
b) can you wear overalls with a t shirt over it so that it looks like it’s pants even if it’s not?
Tired of being a fat guy with a fairly flat ass and narrow hips who must spend surely >20% of my time while clothed and in public either pulling up my pants, reorienting my pants-keep-uppening mechanism, or a combination of both. Desperate for a solution, even if it makes me look either like a giant toddler or a carpenter (latter being preferable).
Going to interpret a Forum “Like” from as cool a lady as @Tradegood as enthusiastic encouragement, gonna begin the #OverallsEra later today by going to get a pair in a few hours
“One Reaction and I will adopt a lifestyle change immediately” is such a good genre of post, I highly recommend anyone feeling indecisive about anything to just ask any well meaning strangers you have a good amount of access to about it, without telling them you’re more asking for support rather than actual input
seems inconvenient when you want to take a piss
You could try! Idk if it would look bulky under a light shirt but I’m sure you could wear a hoodie or something over it and be fine. You could also wear it normally with a jacket over it during the cold months
Hm. Shit. True, I hadn’t thought of that.
Though, so are suspenders, and those have been my go-to pants-keep-uppening mechanism for some time. What I do is just unclip them and have them kinda hangin’ loose under my shirt. It’s awkward to clip them back on, 'cause if they’re loose they don’t keep my pants up, but if they’re tight there’s limited stretch room. I’ve devised a system where I actually never mind no one actually wants to read that, just know that I’ve figured it out.
Perhaps this isn’t completely universal but it seems that for many overalls the front part will detach so you can then I guess pull them down more or less like pants.
Yeah, good point, a sweater over it would probably look just like pants anyway.
If I like it and want to really commit to it I can maybe think of branching out to lighter ones or even overall shorts. Might be harder to beat the giant toddler allegations with those though, I mean, even this guy kinda looks kiddy in overall shorts:
Wearing overalls is 90% mental and 10% physical. If you embrace it and believe in it, you can become an overalls guy. Just lean into it, and not away from it. Fifty million fishermen can’t be wrong.
I’m a carpenter, and I approve this message.
Although the only person I’ve ever seen at work wearing overalls was an electrician. He looked pretty good, though. Seemed relatively young, too (mid 30s.)
I sometimes see people wearing overalls in the neighborhood and im like dang they must have a cool job
The clips on the straps come apart pretty easily, plus there’s all these pockets on the “bib” portion. Are overalls the ultimate Gamer Garment?
Nice, that is the exact brand I was eyeing at the store the other week. But I like my work pants with a million pockets and hidey places too much. I can fit in my pockets: (left side) a sharpie, wallet & keys, bandaids, phone, drill bits, tape measure (clipped), (right side) gloves, flat bar, pencil, safety goggles, exacto knife, packet of tissues, hammer (in hammer loop.) The hammer makes my pants kinda fall down so I more often just leave it on the floor, but it’s nice to keep it in there sometimes because I feel like Bob the Builder.
Very happy to have witnessed this journey from trepidation to new confidence. Godspeed, overalls man.
My son wants me to be Luigi for Halloween. I decided if I have to order overalls for the costume, I better make them real overalls that I’ll actually wear sometimes. I picked out overalls that I’d feel comfortable working in the yard with or running out to the store in. They arrive Friday, and I’m more excited about the overalls than the mustache.
Enjoy!
