A bag of donuts and Starbucks coffee in a squadcar?

So much candy

Pretty much .

Fried chicken and a bottle of water, a hardy meal.

I am currently not eating anything but I drank some water recently.

Poor Bird! Here, I will share my bird seed with you:

Leftover soup from last night. I forgot to start dinner, so I made emergency soup out of an onion, an apple, a can of pumpkin, and some chicken stock. Cumin and red pepper flakes for flavoring. It's good!

Canned soup that expired five months ago.


Supper of champions

I didn't even know canned soups had expiration dates! That doesn't sound good at all, you could get ptomaine poisoning!!!! What is wrong that you aren't eating; did you get snowed in at that cabin? Do I need to come up on snow skis and bring you some bird seed?






"Cccccoooollllddd!"

I'm gonna have myself the following:

Siso-flavored Karaage
Okra salad
Tofu Burgers
Lebers (is the plural form of Leber Lebers tho? thanks in advance German Chorrolites)
Sliced tomato in olive oil and spices
Probably one half of a Tonkatsu
and a garbage-load of my own rice.

I'm a big boi don't judge me

Considering what I just ate I don't think I'm in a position to do that


And no worries, mALX. Canned food usually hold up years after their expiration date assuming the can isn't damaged in any way

Fried Deli Chicken and Fruit Punch flavored Snapple.

Wait, did you say that you ate "German Chorrolites?" What did they taste like? Did you put chocolate syrup on them?

They were very malty but meaty and the chewing sounds they made me make sounded so very angry for some reason.

I love the taste of malt!

Lol, Khajiit thinks he meant malty from all the beer!

Ah, I see!

Cup of coffee and tv dinner lasagna for breakfast.

This morning meal is: Mac and cheese with Dr. Pepper for drink.

For supper a delicious ham and cheese sandwich with half tea, half lemonade.

Tuna salad made with celery, cucumbers, green pepper, and hard boiled egg (with a dash of Worstershire, lemon, a squirt of mustard, some salt & pepper, and a dob of mayo). I always add in whatever I can to cover up the fact that I am eating tuna, (hate the taste of tuna)


Oh, and it was served on a bed of lettuce with skim milk to drink.

Water and sunflower seeds at the moment.

This past Thursday or Friday's Fuji apple was magnificent. Solidly top tier. Very solid. Haven't eaten one that good in ages. (Top tier Fuji's were once more common.) Several others from that batch were darn good too, but not its equal.

This past week's Wild Wonders tomatoes were also a notch above their norm, that norm already several notches above any other tomato in the produce section. (Even the occasional 'mediocre' batch justifies its purchase.)

For some reason I suddenly started liking (Ken's) Thousand Island Dressing on my supper salads very much again. A good thing too, as Wally World looks to have permanently jettisoned what were my two favorite salad dressings.

Been wanting to indulge in one of my rare sit-down restaurant splurge-meals. Am even due a free meal at my local faux Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet! But... I'm in the midst of an overlong process to crown a tooth. It is temporarily capped at the moment. The final, 'permanent' crown SHOULD have been installed last Tuesday. But no. The crown my Dentist received didn't consider my upper partial, which it has to fit with, being one of the partial's anchor teeth. It was sent back for a re-do. I'd already waited three weeks for the permanent crown at that point. As to the re-do, I'm told they'll call me when it's ready. Who knows how long that'll be? The gist of it is I don't dare eat while wearing the temporary cap as 1) my partial doesn't fit particularly well with it in place, and 2) due to that, eating with the partial in might well put too much stress on the cap, breaking it. So no splurge meal for poor decrepit me. Not for a while at any rate.

Aw, that is really bad that it is taking that dentist so long to make your crown = how could he forget to make it occlude properly? That is really one of those things that makes you want to wonder about that dentist! I hope you get it fixed soon; most especially before your free meal expires. I always love to hear about your sit down meals at that restaurant!

Sunflower Seeds and Lime Pepsi.

Whether Dentist or the folk who made the crown is anyone's guess. I suspect the latter, as they messed up the tooth added to my partial last year first time round. That time for sure can't be the dentist fault. In each case, redo cost me nothing other than wait time.

In celebration of finally receiving my 'permanent' crown, I ate lunch at my local faux oriental all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant of choice. Carried new issue of Maximum PC magazine, which arrived in the mail just prior to departure, to read as I ate. Super hot weather, well into the 90s, with a feels-like around 110F. Made for a not wholly pleasant drive, as my car AC ain't what it once was. At any rate, I survived the ride. Meal was yummy as ever, though meat used for Mongolian Beef was a bit on the chewy side, white rice a tad too sticky. Didn't keep me from chowing down with gusto. Chopstick usage remains surprisingly good. Sort of sad I've seen no one else use them there in years. At meal's end I handed cashier my filled out free-lunch coupon, so lunch cost nothing except tip and gas money.

As is my practice after a splurge lunch, supper consisted of a whole Fuji apple, a little skimmed milk, my evening migraine preventative dosage and, at the very end, my evening medicated inhaler treatment. Tonight's Fuji, the first from this week's batch of apples, was very good, better than any from last week's batch.

Oh, I'm so glad you got your meal!









Lime Pepsi? I've never even heard of it before! Sounds MMMMMM !!!!

Pain associated with installing the new permanent crown has lessened enough that I can again chew with both sides of my mouth. Overly crunchy food, like fresh raw carrot slices, can still hurt a bit. I've been chewing solely on my right so long (around two months???) it's hard to remember to use both.

I'm coming to think the super yummy bottle of Ken's Thousand Island Dressing consumed some time ago was a fluke. Two bottles bought since then are back to being meh.

Bought a small tub of pre-sliced shrooms this week, as tubs of whole shrooms didn't look fit to eat.

Applepie with custard. Expect a re-run in little over an hour

Expect a visitor in 25 minutes to help you eat that Applepie with custard!

*mALX gets her tail whirling like helicopter blades and sets out for Mirocu's house...*

Decrepit, you might try the Marzetti brand of Thousand Island... not as good as the homemade my mom used to create, but then nothing ever is....

This morning I had Pizza and for lunch I had a sammich.

You stalking my meals, Reaper? Sammich for lunch and pizza for supper.

I can't help it that sammiches and pizzas are part of my diet lol .

Marzetti? Hmm...rings a bell. Not sure why. I'll try and remember to look for it near WallyWorld visit. Not holding my breath. They just don't carry the variety of options within an item type they once did. We shall see.

Today's meals were standard fare. Oatmeal with sliced fruits and other goodies for breakfast. Canned chili for lunch. Salad with lots of veggies and tuna for supper. Tomorrow will be the same, except I'll likely have a Wowbutter sammich rather than soup/chili for lunch.

TJ Marzetti's is one of the more upscale salad dressings. Around here they aren't in the salad dressing aisle with all the other peasant fare. Instead they are in the produce section, with the fresh lettuce. Its good!

Same here- it is in the produce section. Mrs. Treydog likes the Ranch and I stick with my childhood love of Thousand Island...

I also had pizza for lunch!

I didn't have pizza. . . but wish I had.

I had KFC today, and leftover pizza and breadsticks from yesterday. Tomorrow: leftover KFC and pizza.

Another day, another pizza in the oven.

Remembered to look for Marzetti Thousand Island Dressing at Walmart this morning. Found Marzetti dressings in the produce section, as mentioned here. Had a decent selection, but alas no Thousand Island. Not even empty shelf space for it. Figures. They've stopped carrying my two favorite dressings, my favorite sugar free preserves, and the bread I used to buy. The latter is no great loss as there remains one satisfactory similar bread available.

Bought a sammich from their deli department for today's lunch/supper. Naturally they were out of the sammich I normally buy. Settled for a turkey and cheddar. Turned out to be rather meh. Should have passed. It wasn't bad, mind you. Just didn't taste yummy enough to warrant the expense.

Tomorrow will likely be canned chili for lunch, standard fare breakfast and supper.

Aw, you got the shaft all day on eating today!

This week's grocery run might have gone better. First, I didn't realize I needed to add butter substitute to the list. I likely have enough to make it through the week, but must ration carefully. No tuna-in-water, except expensive varieties. Settled for tuna-in-vegetable-oil, which I don't much care for. What's more, I again goofed by short-sheeting myself on the list by one can. Another goof...I mistakenly picked up the wrong variety of Wolf chili. (Bought two cans. The other is correct.)

The batch of Fuji's bought three weeks ago was amazingly good, all upper second-tier to mid first-tier. Been ages since I last bought a week's worth of Fuji so consistently yummy. The batch bought two weeks ago was polar opposite. Other than one solidly third-tier apple, the rest were fourth and below. One was so bad I tossed the final quarter in the trash. Don't believe that's happened before, discounting episodes of illness during which food tastes so obnoxious I sometimes can't finish meals. The batch one week ago was a mix bag. A couple were fourth-tier. Most were meh. One was top-notch. This weeks Fuji's are, so far, again meh.

My oatmeal/fruit based breakfast remains my favorite meal of the day. I continue to eat soup/chili or a Wowbutter sammich for lunch six days a week. A salad with tuna and lots of fresh raw veggies remains my standard supper (again six days a week).

Ramen Noodles and water...the meal of poor folks.

Looks as if Walmart no longer carries my preferred butter substitute, which I've used and liked for years. Also, I bought their last can of Sugar Free Blackberry Jam. Hope it's temporarily out-of-stock rather than abandoned. (They got rid of my favorite SF preserve months ago, and possibly just eliminated SF red raspberry, which I like to rotate with Blackberry.) Speaking of which, I needed to make an unplanned Walmart run this morning to buy SF Blackberry Jam, having somehow neglected to put it on yesterday's grocery list.

Had a hard time finding Fuji apples yesterday. I looked and looked and couldn't spot them. Yet they were housed in their normal bin the entire time. These look nothing like the Fuji's I usually buy. Quite small. Different coloring. Had the first of them yesterday evening. Juicy and reasonably crisp, as a Fuji should be. Otherwise, there wasn't much to recommend it. Not a bad apple, just nothing special.

Prior to yesterday's grocery run I ate at my local Oriental All-You-Can-East Buffet restaurant of choice. White rice left something to be desired. I suspect it carried over from the weekend. Otherwise, I've not complaints. As usual, I piled my plate (too) high and dug in with gusto. Chopstick performance was decidedly below par. My worst performance in ages. I blame some of that on the rice, so gummy it was hard to separate individual bites from the sticky mass. That aside, throughout the meal I had trouble getting stick tips to align properly, a sure sign of impending disaster. In the end, the worst of it was needing to brush a little rice off my pants. Otherwise, mis-grabs occurred over the plate, thus caused no harm.

Had Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast. Yuuuuuuuummmmmm. One of my top 2 cereals.

Sorry about the Fuji's going bad lately. I've been having the same problem with peaches. They all seem to have a blackening on the inside and never get juicy; they just dry up and get hard. Is it something they are spraying them with?

Thanks to your tuna salad descriptions; I went ahead and started eating more tuna salads (to add protein to my salads). Tuna, celery, cucumber, green bell pepper, some seasonings, and served on a bed of lettuce. (sometimes have a slice of bacon crumbled over the top of it).

I really hate tuna; but am forcing myself to get used to it. I also want it in spring water; (though now they are just saying "water" even on the premium cans). Also, I only eat the solid white Albacore; though even that is tasting fishy lately to me for some reason, urgh.

If you get it in vegetable oil you can put the tuna in a strainer and wash the oil off it; that def helps if you are adding mayo to it later.








Ramen Noodles have pulled my family through some tough times,








Sounds like your hand was having issues today. Does it ever crimp closed when holding the computer mouse in it?









Yeah, they are up in my top ten list too.

Sunflower seeds.

Bought Groceries yesterday (Sunday) instead of today (Monday, my traditionally grocery/errand day) due to today's predicted cold temps, rain and possible snow. (Yesterday's weather was pleasant in all regards.)

I would have sworn this week's Fuji apple purchase couldn't be as consistently meh as last week's. If yesterday's Fuji is any indication, I'm wrong. Didn't taste like a Fuji. Not close. Struggled through slice one, then sprinkled artificial sweetener atop its three remaining slices to make them endurable. Fujis should never need added sweetness.

No Wild Wonders tomato tubs this week. Hope they're not discontinued. Darn good store-bought tomatoes, a rarity these days.

Likewise, no Ken's Thousand Isle Dressing, except in large bottles. Surely they won't stop carrying regular size bottles?

I now have two canned Chili's I enjoy. Neither is ideal by any stretch of imagination. First is Wolf Brand Chili Authentic Texas Recipe with Beans. It's the sort of chili I don't normally like, mostly a thick, heavy broth with small crumbles of solid ingredients blended in. Yet it has a basic flavor I find appealing. Second is Campbell's Chunky Chili, Hot & Spicy with Beans. It is indeed 'chunky,' looking somewhat like the can label picture! Spicy? For canned chili it's passably spicy. Hot? Nope. I would have been (pleasantly) surprised if it had been. My main issue is that, for me, it's too sweet. Again, they don't hold a candle to homemade chili. But for canned they're quite passable.

@mALX: No, I have a very relaxed grip with my computer mouse. In the old days my hand tended to cramp by meal's end when using chopsticks. I worked on relaxing my grip until that too went away. I still occasionally catch myself gripping chopsticks too firmly, but simply loosen up at that point. I do champ when writing with pen/pencil. Even something so short as filling out a check causes pain. For whatever reason, I grip the darn things like a tightened vice. Don't notice until pain sets in. Problem there, I think, is that I don't use pens or pencils often enough to stay in practice.

My meal for today: Mixed flavored sunflower seeds and coffee.
