What are you snacking on now?

Like… with just a knife and fork?

“Snacks” are becoming whole meals at this point, ’cause yesterday was just pancakes (felt like I was at Prince’s house again) until my lo mein late late in the day.

Today was just some fried eggs on bread (yawn…), ’til I needed to kill off one/more of the last frozen chicken breast, some on-the-vine tomatoes that are probably at-peak and will start going soft Real Soon Now, and same with a green pepper.

Oh, well, 2 out of 3 sounds good.

Thawed and brined (hot and very salty water) the chicken for an hour or so, thawed one of the hero-rolls that was also in the freezer (sick and tired of tossing out bread that goes stale/moldy unless I inhale it within a coupla days), and figured that while I’m in the mood for chicken salad, I’ll try it sliced instead.

So after it thawed, I sliced it thin, fried it in plain oil, then had a really good half-hero with just the chicken, mayo, and sliced tomato. Saved myself a lot of work mooshing the chicken into salad form.

Probably have the other half-roll and 2nd half of the chicken with another tomato tomorrow.

Damn, it was good. And simple. Just the combo I like.

PayDay again.

and, on Amazon, $17 for 24.

Made “french-bread pizza” today. Half a hero-roll, no more ham or anything, so hey, I got some Rinaldi or whatever, some mozz, and a oven, so I got busy. Little too much mozz, so it started hanging over the edges and didn’t brown in place yet, but still pretty good.

Should get some more rolls, as it was pretty good and I still got leftover sauce before it gets a-moulderin’.

lahmacun

( frozen box from supermarket, plus salad mix , ayvar, tsaziki )

oh no….
Candy Corn got hacked.

Scoop-shaped tortilla chips with guacamole, spicy hot chile sauce, and beans—wash it all down with a bottle of Sol. A favorite snack.

I used to buy the 1 LB bags of XXXXtra Hot Cheetos from Sam’s Club, but for some reason they stopped selling those, so now I snack on regular lime cheetos.

On the bright side, I’m not in as much pain anymore during certain times of the day.

Yeah, my daughter calls that “volcano butt”.

Made blueberry pancakes. Really good, all things considered.

I requested North Carolina blueberries but they sent me Michigan blueberries. People say I’m crazy but I can taste the difference.

home-made.
not this brand.

Burrrrgerrrrrrrrrrs!

Sick and tired of ground beef turning gray-brown even in the freezer, so went’n’got some fresh.

Martin potato-rolls, coupla slices murrrrcan cheese, salt’n’pepper, raw onion (did the soak-in-water thing), katchup, and used my burger press to shape ’em perfectly.

So good when you ain’t had ’em in a long time.

White Castle cheeseburgers…

Fresh ground is the way to go. We only get butcher shop ground beef. Cheese burger with fried onion . Sometimes do the sloppy burger thing with lettuce, tomato, onion, salt, pepper, ketchup, mayo. Once in a while will do the raw onion and ketchup only thing.

thanks for bring up RAW onions.
having some now.

Onions thin your blood :+1:

Who wants fat blood?

Are you fat shaming?

Oh, absolutely. Fat blood nasty. Naaaaasty.

Fwiw, good reminder about the mayo. Finished the last burger but this time with mayo. Nice extra bit of creaminess.

What to do with the last of the onion? Liverwurst on another potato-roll, with onions and tomato!

Round, round, and round, on round! You could taste the symmetry…

i haven’t used mayo in years, but you made it sound so good that i had to get a jar and crack it open to add some flavor to fish tacos i made with pan grilled trout.

Later at Aldis i saw a special on 1 lb bag of brussel sprouts, so i got those to go with a ground beef hot chipotle burrito for supper. Nuked a few for 2 minutes to soften and pre-cook the centers, then sliced in half and pan grilled them to put on a good char. Next time i’ll char some onion and garlic with them—it will be kickin’
