I started my day with a greens drink for extra energy then I moved on to a cantaloupe wedge from my CSA (best cantaloupe ever!). Then I had some overnight oatmeal and green tea.

That’s an interesting breakfast! Those ground cherries look like tomatoes.
I know them as physalis or goldenberries. Love them!
The farm I get my CSA from sends us a newsletter on Monday mornings telling us what we will be getting in our share that week. I’ve never heard of ground cherries/goldenberries before and the fellow at the farm stand told me how to eat them. I think they look a lot like tomatillos and when we first got them in our share a couple of weeks ago they included a recipe for salsa made with them. I haven’t tried it yet but I might if we get them in our share again this season.
How to eat them? I just pop 'em in my mouth as is.

Yes but you have to peel off the papery thin skin first. I figured as much but the man at the farm stand suggested I squeeze gently on the end where the skin is attached to the berry and it will just pop right out. I would have been the dufus that peels back the skin a bit at a time like peeling a banana
We used to grow them. I’ve made jam with them, which I thought was just OK, but the old-timers in my circle loved it, waxing nostalgic about their youth and ground cherry jam.

^^^That^^^. Or add them to yogurt. Or on/in a salad. Maybe like grapes in a chicken salad?

Well, yeah. I wouldn’t think anyone would try to eat that skin, TBH 
When they first appeared in Germany, they were also known as Cape gooseberries. For some reason, their flavor and appearance makes me believe that they are super healthy and full of all the good things. Based on nothing but my impression (hey — at least they’re not bad for you) 
After spending the first half of the day dealing with the wonders and efficiency of the US health care and insurance systems 
… a (late) fortifying breakfast of two slices of wonderful local sourdough — one with capers & chive cream cheese topped with pastrami salmon
the other with Taleggio and prosciutto di San Daniele,
which I much prefer over Parma ham.

Hang in there, I do hope you get something resolved sooner than later!
