Right now I'm eating Taki's ranch chips and Dr. Pepper Blackberry Zero.
Bought myself a new food preparation device, a (image link) Ninja DG551 Foodi Smart XL second-generation (image link) smokeless indoor grill. My excuse for the expenditure is that I've never been able to cook ground beef satisfactorily in the microwave. Too, while my microwaved steaks sometimes turn out very nicely, they too often leave something to be desired.
This past week has been devoted to ground beef/hamburger patties, via two 12-patty packs from WallyWorld. Prio to lunchtime I let three patties warm until I can mash 'em all together, mix in an egg, salt, a little minced garlic, and pork rind crubles, then divide the result into two large patties. They cook up very nicely in the Ninja (I use either of the two "medium-well" settings). Being a Carnivore, I of course eat them as-is, no bun or toppings. The built-in thermometer works like a charm. It is indeed, to all intents and purposes, smokeless, though my kitchen smoke-detector begs to differ.
This coming week I'll add a couple of steaks to the mix.

Time for another pizza! 
I had a breakfast sandwich and some coffee.

What better way to start your day?
Easter pizza!
That wouldn't be with chocolate bunnies and jelly beans as toppings would it?
Sadly not

Regarding pizza - is Detroit style the way to go? Didn't even know that was a thing.

Yeah I heard about it for the first time a few years when Pizza Hut started offering one. I’ve never tried one, but I’m sure it’s probably not that much different from a Chicago style deep dish. I think Subbie is from up there, maybe she could enlighten us?
Detroit style is the best pizza in the world. Though Chicago style is pretty good too.
It's a deep dish, with a thick layer of sauce. Round or square, the crust is not the usual thick lump you see around the edge of the pizza. Instead it is a blade-thin and very crispy. It is the best part of the pizza. (Some people say it is only square, but I've had it round too). It will look blackened and burnt, but that is good. It tastes awesome.The cheese goes right up to the edge, so there's no empty gap of just bread anywhere on the pizza. Some places put an extra layer of sauce on top of the cheese and toppings, some don't. I have not really noticed it tasting different either way.

I like a lot of sauce on my pizza so I would probably like that a lot!
Oh wow, if I ever get a chance to have Detroit style, I will go for it!
It is strawberry season here, so today I have had three meals of strawberries. The last one I had with some custard.

Sounds awesome! Wish I could get it here
