Aw, that's perfect for in between meals, innit? And hard to resist too, if you have them.

Bake at some Fahrenheit? Seriously?
Sigh.
I promised to try, so have to gonna convert. Didn't promise to do so in this lifetime, no? Would you reckon it worth the trouble of doing math?

If you want to gain weight you need to make sure your blood sugar swings a lot.
High blood sugar makes the liver create fat from the sugar for later use (Very simplified).
Low blood sugar makes the body think it's starving, so it creates more enzymes to use the food better, for when you later eat.
So eat seldom and a lot.
Make sure you eat a lot from fat, protein as well as starch, and best of all sugar, at the same time. to make sure you use up all those enzymes.
I recommend Kladdkaka: Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake (Kladdkaka) | Allrecipes[^]

Sound like fatty, sugary food, once a day? Not sure my nutricionist agrees there.
I'll put some reseach into that, thanks

I'm quite sure they won't.
You want to fatten up, that's not always healthy.

What's the difference with normal chocolate cake? I don't see any at a quick glance.

From memory; sugar contains 5 cals/gram, fat 5,5 cals/gram, alcohol 7.
Protein contains the least. Idiotically, protein is the best option, since it doesn't just supply calories. Man needs a "complete" protein as building blocks, not just fuel.

It's a failed cake, on purpose. It has a crusty caramelized outside, and an inside that reminds of chocolate sauce.
It's great served warm with vanilla or lemon ice cream.
But you can kiss your arteries good buy.
The reason you should eat a mix of protein, fat, starch and sugar is that the body only produces a certain amount of enzymes for each kind of nutrient, so if you want to gain weight you need to supply enough of them all to use up all your enzymes.
Except for sugar, sugar is always absorbed.
When it comes to alcohol it's not at all as efficient as one might believe, because it's mostly not absorbed by the body.
Highly simplified: Ethanol is converted in the liver to Acetaldehyde, which is a main hangover creator, which in its turn is converted to acetate, which leaves the body with the urine.
A side note, Methanol isn't that highly poisonous in itself, but it's converted in the liver to formaldehyde.
And the treatment is to saturate the liver with intravenous ethanol. Imagine that hangover.

Try a seven course meal: Kielbasa sandwich and a six-pack. Works for me. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I'm not allowed beer; I get drunk on the third bottle.
So, bread with bratwurst? Add some sauerkraut to cut through the fat. That's my lazy-day meal, at least once a week. Without the beer.
More taste than a hot dog, more satisfaction than a hamburger. Good suggestion

The last time I weighed in at 128 lbs was 40 years ago when I was 14 or 15.

Mine got out... 
And it is weird - we have been using metric in Canada since the early 70s but almost everybody knows their height and weight in Imperial - even my kids.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

As you get older you usually get fatter..
And the mechanism is simple, both your metabolism (resting energy usage) decrease and you appetite slightly increase...
"Problem" you have now, is your appetite is calibrated to your current weight and so it's going to be painful overeating...
However we have multiple appetites (there even was an interesting recent entry in new scientist about it) and modern snacks tends to confuse the brain into over eating, due to starving some appetite..
So my advice, eat a lot of unhealthy snack!

I am aware that it might be dangerous to power sensitive electronics from an inverter that outputs a modified sine wave as opposed to a pure sine wave.
Does anyone do this? Is it harmful in practice or only in theory?
I'm interested to ask because I only have a regular inverter, and I will need to power my laptop on the road soon.

I've powered my laptops from a DC to AC converter that output a modified sine wave without any problems. Typically the inverters that you can get that plug into the lighter adapter of the car, but also I have a small solar battery charging system that I've used for a battery backup in the past, again, 12 VDC to 120 VAC and plug the laptop supply into that.

Thanks for the report, Marc. I have also used the modified sine wave to power the laptop in the past and did not notice any problems. But I was just wondering.
