Lunch 2023 (!)

There are 3 sizes available near me (nyc): giant ones (half the size of my forearm) in Chinatown, medium ones (half that size - say 2-3 fingers wide and 1 finger long, with a slightly bigger cap than the jumbos) in Chinatown and Korean stores, baby ones at Korean stores and Whole Foods.

That one is a trout caviar and it was fantastic. No dyes or anything like that, just roe and salt. I got it from a Sainsbury’s but I’m pretty sure they’re only in Britain.

I used to have salmon caviar a lot growing up I think and that one was also good but I’d definitely recommend the trout one if you can find it.

Pandemic Leftovers Chili. Gotta clear out the cupboard. I never put beans in my chili, but there was a pandemic can of Bush’s chili beans headed for extinction, and a packet of some kind of organic chili seasoning - so - add to a pound of ground chuck that was at its use-by date, a chopped onion, a can of RoTel’s chopped tomatoes, a shovel of garlic powder, some tomato paste, a splash of beer, and whatever else my hand bumped into in the spice cabinet and … desperation in a mug. It didn’t kill me. And yes, that’s a wooden soup spoon.

Second meal of the day, so I guess this goes here: brisket quesadilla from our favorite local taco slinger. A ginormous portion of cheesy, meaty, crispy deliciousness. Half of it came back home with us bc we’re not flippin’ linebackers :joy:

First ever brunch at Costco!
3 dogs, 3 pops and we split fries and gravy = $8.90!!
The soft serve ice cream, which was the size of a small child, was something ridiculous like $2.50 and this is all in CAD.
I don’t shop there in person very often(don’t have a membership, my sisters do) but when I do, I’ll always try to squeeze in lunch :slight_smile: I also hear their pizza is pretty tasty.

I will save my appetite then and eat strategically :grinning: Ice cream first then shop/sample after.

We shopped in-between Lunch and dessert, so we could walk off some of the calories :slight_smile:

Undoubtedly, although I’m not sure I’ve recovered enough to try to digest chorizo at this point!
