Welp, Khajiit has never had haggis (not exactly something readily available here in the Southeastern USA even though there are a lot of people of Scottish decent around!), so this one can't say. Probably not if haggis is even half as awesome as Khajiit has heard!

I have a pint of Scotch in me! Er, I mean my Dad was Scottish!

Lol, Khajiit was about to say "That's a lot of Scotch!"

Mmmm! Corned beef and cabbage with potatoes, carrots, and cornbread! Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Tea and a meatball hot pocket.

Tuna fish with buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing and cottage cheese...I'm thinking about getting some blue cheese and see how that taste. Oh and Diet Mountain Dew.

Is antipasto the evil opposite of pasta?

All pasta is evil !!! BWAAHAAHAA !!!!

Even... Angel Hair?!

Proof

Child looks like a mutant, lol

I knew there was something sinister about Gingers .

Bahahaha!

My diet continues its predictably mundane pattern. Tonight's supper consisted of my usual lettuce salad with veggies, raisins, a bit of shredded cheddar cheese and Wishbone Robusto Italian dressing. Had a hard-boiled egg sprinkled with paprika on the side. Water to drink. Half an apple for dessert. The one thing that makes this different from most salad suppers is that I did without tuna, as I tend to do maybe two days a week. (It's a fairly recent development, established both to save funds and better keep my weight in check.) Also, I'm not a fan of Italian dressings, but use them on occasion for variety.

I've returned to my practice of some suppers mixing my standard assemblage of veggies, raisins, tuna, and cheese with brown rice instead of lettuce. With these concoctions I rotate between two "dressings". The first is a blend of warmed Prego Sausage & Garlic and a bit of Kraft Horseradish sauce. Second is a warmed blend of Wishbone Raspberry & Hazelnut Vinaigrette, a little butter (either real of artificial) and artificial sweetener. (I leave off cheese with the sweet "dressing".) I enjoy these rice-based suppers more than lettuce salads, but suspect my waistline doesn't.

While at "city" hall dropping off my utility payment I noticed an advertisement for our Senior Citizen's Center. (Seems to me it should read "Senior Citizens' Center", but what do I know?) It offers $3 lunches twice a week. The lady behind the counter said I could take a copy with me. I was about to ask why I would want to when it dawned on me that I indeed qualify for these meals! I still can't fathom why I'd want to sit down and eat with a bunch of old farts. Yet I am one of their number. The world is a screwy screwy place is all I have to say. (I took a copy of the notice...heh.)

Khajiit thought brown rice was supposed to be good for you? This one eats a ton of rice! Been trying to do more quinoa but it just seems to take more effort to make good, unlike rice where I just have to add salt and black pepper and perhaps a bit of butter to the boiling water.

Mmmm mmmhhh! Frijoles Charros Negros in the pot!

I don't picture you as someone who has to keep their waistline in check, lol. But truthfully - your salad dinner sounded absolutely delicious!






MMMMMMMMMMM !!!!!!! Haven't had any good black beans since I left Miami !!! Don't forget the fried plantains with it !!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM !!!!!!!!!!!!

Well yes, so far as I know brown rice is indeed good for you, or at least not bad. That's why I allow myself to keep it in the house. Admittedly not everything I keep in-house is "healthy", sugar-free strawberry preserves being a case in point. But it's not gonna kill me in moderation, and I can indeed easily limit myself usage to one piece of toast per breakfast. Some foods I don't dare keep close at hand because sooner or later I'll lose all self control and pig out on 'em, likely becoming addicted in the process. I've been that route several times. The end result isn't pretty. Heh.

Had another of my rare restaurant meals today, at my Chinese Buffet of choice again. The food was good (but not great) as usual. Boy did I stuff myself, again as usual. Chopsticks, also as usual. I was so bad with 'em at first I almost threw in the towel and unwrapped the provided fork. Then POOF, something 'clicked' and it became second nature. After such a large launch I did without supper, but for half a Fuji apple, food (or milk) being required with my evening migraine preventative dosage.

Khajiit wishes about the fried plantains! This one has never seen them in any stores here.

Congrats on getting the hang of chop sticks! Khajiit found that learning to use chopsticks greatly enhanced the experience of eating many Asian cuisines.

You have such a great sense of humor! This line had me laughing so hard just the way you phrased it! I am the same way if something really good is in the house = lock it up, lol.






Oh man, can't have Frijoles Negros without Platanos!!!!!

Khajiit did! And they were still delicious!

I just had some Freddy's chicken tenders. If anyone wants good food Freddy's Steakburgers and Frozen Custard is to die for.

Coke Zero and Dry roasted peanuts in honey.

Papa John's 'cuz there isn't a decent local pizza place in Khajiit's town.

Urgh, I hate the Papa John's around here.

The one here is the best major chain pizza place in our town (in Khajiit's opinion). The others, Pizza Hut and Dominoes, are just bad.

There is one place that is local. Claims to be "NewYork style", not that Khajiit would know the difference. They don't deliver though, whiskey tango foxtrot?!

The better non-franchise places usually don't deliver. We have one in town that is really worth the drive and 30 dollar price on one of their pizzas.

There is also a drive-in hamburger stand that is 30 miles outside the city limits in the middle of nowhere that is SO worth the drive for anything they serve from their REAL malted milkshakes to corndogs or bacon burgers. You dream about their food when you can't get up there, it is that good. Even though they are out in the boonies and no where near anything; they are always packed full in the parking lot from the time they open till they close. And it isn't for the cute little carhops that trot out to your car to take your order; because they aren't that cute.

Water! And Is hall be devouring nachos and cheese at the hockey game tonight!

I had a large ham, eggs, toast and gravy for breakfast this morning at Boom-r-ang. Either its me but the ham tasted a bit to salty for my taste.

I'm drinking some Pepsi Fire. If you like spiced cider and the taste of Pepsi then you'll enjoy it.

*gaaaaagh...urk...*

Walmart's offering of Fujis this past Monday was not appealing. Bought Galas instead. I'm no great Gala fan, but they're alright in a pinch. Except yesterday's. It was too soft for me, as Galas sometimes are. I do not like soft apples.

Tried Progresso Chicken Cheese Enchilada Flavor soup yesterday or the day before. Mostly whitish broth though, with only a few small chunks of solid food. Due to that I deem it best as a side dish eaten along with other entrees. I never eat soup that way at home, but might still buy a can every now and then for the flavor, which ain't bad at all.

I'm eating a burger and drinking lipton white tea raspberry flavor with vanilla Crown Royal mixed with it. Not a bad combination.

Cerveza! While waiting for the coals on Khajiit's grill to get ready so he can cook porkchops!

Ohhh---why did you have to say porkchops. I loves me some porkchops specially if their shake and baked...mmmmmm .

Khajiit's will just be grilled with salt and pepper. Jasmine rice and grilled green beans on the side.

*update*
They were delicious.

I got these coconut flavored sunflower seed at the Asian Food Market and boy howdy, these are something else.

ROHI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leftover chinese food for lunch today. Yesterday I had ham and swiss on rye with chips and a pickle. Delish!

MOM!

You have been SO missed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, mom?

This week's grocery run there was a grand total of three Fujis in the individual apple bin. My local Walmart carries two brands of bagged Fujis. One brand had only too-green Fujis in its bags. The other brand looked much better, except that many apples were damaged, with dark mushy spots. No Fujis for me. Settled on Pink Lady apples, a variety unknown to me. They're okay, but nothing special.

Bought Dave's Steakhouse Thousand Island dressing last Monday. Not as good as Wishbone in my opinion, and Wishbone itself isn't ideal. (All else being equal, I almost always prefer Wishbone over the equivalent Kraft dressing.)

D'aaaww!

Diet Mountain Dew and .79 cents store pepperoni pizza.

Well, I screwed up. Though rice was on my list, I forgot to buy any during today's grocery run. Lettuce salad suppers only for me this week I guess, unless I make a special run into town. Unlikely, but I won't rule it out.

Once again Walmart had no decent apple selection except for one super expensive variety. I ended up buying a $5 bag of Fuji's that looks decidedly less than stellar.
