I read about Christian Bale drinking tubs of microwaved ice-cream to weight gain and I hope that is not a normal occurence for anyone.

I had a friend who was bulking up and could not physically fit any more grilled chicken into his body so he started taking olive oil shots.

Somehow, microwaved ice cream sounds like a worse experience

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I feel like there's a middle ground between grilled chicken and olive oil shots/ice cream soup that wasn't explored.

Blended Chicken Alfredo?

[–] whats_a_lemmy@midwest.social 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

bulking

grilled chicken

That was his first mistake

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

bulking
olive oil shots

Second mistake

[–] lemmyartistforhire@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I trust you. But you also seem biased about somebody eating chicken, considering your name.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

My name was a typo. It was supposed to be "Life Lady Loves Chicken".

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

Strange. My sister has that on her wall, right above "live laugh love"

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago

Defrosted ice is pretty good too.

Microwaved icecream sounds like Starbucks without the caffeine

[–] saturn_888@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Honestly, when bulking, the worse the food is the better. You want it to be bland

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Like injecting olive oil into his veins?

Neither are you. /s

Loaded into some sort of shotgun shell is another possibility.

drinking tubs of microwaved ice-cream

it's called a milkshake

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Is that sort of hot, thick milkshake what the song was all about?

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

so, hear me out, when the ice cream is frozen too hard, microwaving it for like 5 - 10 seconds can really get it soft and melty in a good way - especially around the edges. Also makes it easier on your wrists to scoop out.

Not suggesting you microwave it into a soup like Bale, but microwaving ice cream is a hack I have long resisted but have turned to in times of need.

[–] Polkira@piefed.ca 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I usually just run the scoop under hot water for a few seconds, usually cuts right through the ice cream.

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

that's like what normal people do, but I married into a family that is very creative about their ice cream

my father in law takes the ice cream out of the tub and uses a chef's knife to cut it into portions, for example

my partner is the one who taught me to microwave ice cream

and tbh, it's much harder to get the tap hot enough and to wait for the water to heat the scoop than it is to just microwave the tub for 5 - 10 seconds.

It's horrible, I know.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Cutting it into portions allows you to make almost anything into an ice cream sandwich.

Cuz now you got ice cream slices.

You can even have an ice cream steak.

Cutting is brilliant

[–] dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have never once thought I needed to cut my ice cream with a fucking knife, lol

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I did it once while I was stoned and has some sugar wafers on hand.

Made sugar wafer ice cream sammies 5/7 no notes.

well, now I have to try it

That looks awesome ngl

I made stroopwaffel ice cream sandwiches once. Bliss in the form of coronary disease.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fun fact. One of the older ice cream scoops invented was hollow aluminum filled with liquid. The theory was as your hand waremd the metal then the water, the scoop portion would be warmed, thus enabling easier scooping!

Are they good?

[–] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I thought that was Ryan Gosling. He did it without the Director's permission, gained 60 pounds and was fired for it. It was for the movie "The Lovely Bones."

Uh, that sounds great, I'm gonna Micky some cream
