Michael Phelps consumed 10,000 calories a day while training for the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
For breakfast, he had three fried egg sandwiches, with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, fried onions and mayonnaise, followed by three chocolate-chip pancakes. That was not all, after sandwiches and pancakes, it was time for a five-egg omelette, three sugar-coated slices of French toast, a bowl of grits, and two cups of coffee to wash down everything.
However, on the way to training if he felt like having anything more he would stop and have a go.
For lunch, he would have half-kilogram of pasta, two large ham and cheese sandwiches on white bread smothered with mayonnaise, and another set of energy drinks.
For dinner, he had a pound of pasta with carbonara sauce, a large pizza, and energy drinks.
training AND the munchies.
These amateurs!

I just learned today that Tony Allen played on La Ritournelle.

The whole album.
After an evening with Jacques Herrer, I resemble a cross of Phelps, a whirling dervish and The Tasmanian Devil. All in a the kitchen at once!
It would be remiss of me not to give this a rewind here
I was just waiting for the āfish cake and riceā variant to come in
Just when I thought I couldnāt love it anymoreā¦.

Velcro was invented when George de Mestral was walking his hairy sheepdog through a field of burr-covered plants. Itās notoriously difficult to remove burrs from an animalās hair, which means the animal is going to carry seeds a far distance, allowing the plant to spread more successfully. De Mestral took out a magnifying glass and saw very tiny hooks that clung to the dogās hair. Then he made the distant connection: The burrās mechanism, designed by nature to spread seeds, could be used to make a clothing fastener.
