One of my major pet peeves is when pastors use adjectives in the place of adverbs, e.g. "walk worthy," "live godly," etc.
Ataraxia: Stoic, detached, and balanced state of mind. The climax of philosophy.
Janus: Roman god with two faces, facing opposite directions, representing controversy. His temple was kept closed in time of peace, and was opened during time of war.
Dressed in mourning blackness I stand, so primitive, so estranged; beleaguered all the world about me, and taunting the fair ambrosia; together we climb hand in hand to an infinite expanse undestined and indeterminate.
Just do this. Sit in a Starbucks sometime and just watch each and every woman's almost inevitable visit to the restroom; it's hilarious. You can tell if a man can hold his liquor by whether he vomits. You can tell if a woman can hold her coffee by whether or not she has to piss five minutes or less after her first cup.
"Mu"
Neither "yes" nor "no."
The answer supersedes the context within which the question was raised.
Unask the question.
Attain balance.
These days 'gourmet' can mean anything from "just this stupid bottle of wine costs $700, but you bought it so you must be such a great person" to "now your dehydrated noodles also come with a packet of dehydrated vegetables, whoo-hoo."
