mind, I do suspect its only a matter of time before I start sleep cooking and slep eating... - like sleep walking, but more calory consumptive raher tan usage

Walking a tightrope in a hurricane while asleep is likely to come to a bad ending.

You should not eat with your mouth is full of talk.

~Book of Wisdom~

We eat at mealtimes, and do stuff at other times. So the meals are set, rather than the 'stuff', and there's no issue of whether we eat before or after the stuff.

That sounds sensible.

I've been used as a dinner plate, by another person... that's sort of 'at the same time' surely.

Yes, you're right, but only if you were also eating. If not, then you were *just* a dinner plate.

oh, yes, I was being fed food off of myself, as the other person ate off of me. it was... fablulus and my first time also, eating ... sushi...

Black-eyed sushis are very pretty.

Ah yes - I also have enjoyed the pleasure of a meal shared with my dinner plate - fablulus indeed

Back to the original question, King Crimson reckon that eating comes third:

(Worth listening to for the incredible drums)

Whenever possible, I focus solely on eating when I'm eating -- unless, as now, I'm snacking on peanuts and crackers while I'm at the computer.

Ooo, Icy is a fellow Crimson fan.

Yes I'm an old prog fan, like a few others on this site.

I came across that song again quite recently - Charles Hazlehurst had a 4-part prog rock show on Radio 2 a couple of months ago. He discussed it in some detail with Bill Bruford.

I'm waiting for regressive rock to catch on. I dream of waking up some day to find that rock has been superceded by jazz. . Then, jazz will give way to Romanticism . I won't live to see it, but Gregorian chant will eventually reign supreme.
