What are you snacking on now?

I vaguely recall these bananananana candies made of some kind of ultradense marshmallowy foam, but that tasted, or at least smelled, like banananananananas.

I could go for some of those right now.

Or a frozen Charleston Chew, the big-ass ones you could use as a nightstick.

I take it you're snacking on chicken?

Homemade frenchfries. Potatoes, tablespoon or two of corn erl, sprinkling of salt. About as “all natural” as you can get.

Cooked through nicely, “burnt” tips (just enough), lightly browned on the bottom where resting on the Al-foil. Yum!

Each one was a whole cacophony of textures…

And jalapeno poppers earlier today. Aside from like 5-6 slices of Münster cheese in-between, that’s pretty much all I et today. Too hot…

But of course I needed the oven to do both… :confounded:

Hope you used organic potatoes LB. They are in the dirty dozen.

Huh? They’re tubers, how they get sprayed with nasties?

Goggled it, the DD seems to be

^ I’m screwed…

Apparently it’s who you ask.

The wife is in charge of eating healthy in my house(yes dear). I just know what she says.

I grew up eating apples that were untreated with anything, and I swear I can taste the chemicals when I bite into a store-bought apple.

Ah, so the nasties are in the potato-skin. I always peel ’em sometimes furiously, ’cause these usually have spots underneath, whether from being bruised or something else.

Yesterday’s peelings weighed about a half of the total of potatoes I had, so figure the outer third is tossed. Generic Idaho taters, nothing fancy.

I always peel apples, too. Hate hate hate those brown spongy mooshy bruised spots.

?

Hmm, so whaddya to with a huge opened can of whole tomatoes that you wanna use up before they go bad? (Didn’t have fresh tomatoes for EM pizzas, so used canned. Was pretty good, but… different.)

Wellp, got 2 vidalia onions left, minced ’em, plopped ’em into the tomatoes in a small pot, and got it a-boiling. Added water to cook the onions while the water slowly boiled out. Add salt’n’pepper. What else? Eat that plain, like a really really really thick “soup”?

Aha, eggs! Dunno if it qualifies as “shukshasha” or whatever it’s called, but it was good! Put half the t&o into a small frying pan, already hot, and dropped in 2 eggs, let them soft-boil. Was gooooooooooood!

And got the other half for tomorry, too!

Lettuce, tomato and mayo sandwich. Salt and pepper. Wasn’t a garden tomato yet but couldn’t wait.
BLT season around the corner.

Onion sandwich with mayo is actually pretty good. Ham and onion is good too also onion with cheese. I like onions.

As a bachelor, this might be the most bachelor thing I’ve ever heard lol :smiley:

i’d say this sounds like Lightbender needs to make a run to the grocery store,
or
we need to send aircraft in to drop care packages over NYC…get some food in that pantry.

Every now and again, I go into Garbage Mode, find what’s opened, what’s left, what needs to be used up, and then throw together bits’n’pieces and make a pretty good meal of it.

Open a jar of tomato sauce (“pasta sauce”), and if you don’t use it up fairly soon, it’ll go moldy even in the fridge.

Anything fresh (fruits’n’veggies) has a limited shelf-life.

Coldcuts, I won’t touch turkey after the next day, ham maybe the day after. Both will get stinky and/or slimy. Cheese keeps pretty well, though.

Potatoes, onions, garlic, etc., will eventually “go bad”, but not too quickly, but you still wanna use ’em up before it happens.

It’s nice to take an inventory of should-use-up food and be able to MacGyver a good meal out of it.
