Strawberry-blueberry-sour-cherry smoothie.
We have a grocery/coop that would sell high quality meat, marked down as it aged. I would buy only that meat almost always and freeze it for future meals. They stopped a long time ago which was a sadness for me since I love a deal. Now I buy Whole Foods meats on sale and in quantity. I can’t get behind conventional raised meat. Read too many books detailing those ag practices. Last year I tried a cow share (1/4 split with a friend) which resulted in 200 lbs of all kinds of cuts at about $5 per lb. At least half ground beef so we’re not talking cheap ribeyes. But grass fed free range all that. I did notice that the steaks and roasts needed a lot more trimming than what I’d buy in a store. So may not go that route again.
I did this back in the 1980s when I lived in central PA, and my stepfather raised a steer. My sister said “how can you eat an animal that you knew and played with and had a name?” {His name was Sir Charles - Sir for sirloin, Charles for chuck.} I said “At $.99/lb for everything from soup bones to sirloin, very very easily!” Chuck wasn’t free range or grass fed, but he was still good. Took awhile to get through that 1/4 side of beef!
It does take a while, doesn’t it. I’m almost just done with it now about 14 months later and with the household that fluctuated during that time period between two and four people.
Another super-duper healthy bowl of Fage with delovely golden kiwi and pretty terrible booberries my dude raved over. Most of them were tart, some had a moldy off taste.
Think Ima stick to just kiwis from now on
Fresh from the MW apple fritter, there was also coffee but it was just Mc D’s so no photo was necessary.
Good fritter, not enough apple though. 7/10
Green eggs & salm’.
Verrry green scramblees with kitchen sill scallions & my friend’s garden parsley, plus a chopped roasted hatch chile. Smoked salmon & horseradish on the the side.
A kicky start to the day
I missed our friend’s traditional birthday brunch at a local park: lox, shmear & bagels, and a softball game for those silly I mean adventurous enough to participate. My PIC tried to rise me at 9am, but that is decidedly not a Sunday morning time for me. He went to represent.
I made do with my usual bowl of Fage & sweet, juicy golden kiwi. In my jammies. And I won’t be sore tomorrow
I had a handful of grapes. I learned about 2-3 hours later that a handful of grapes is an inadequate breakfast–especially when I didn’t have dinner last night. My stomach was about to digest itself.
In any case it was my own dumb fault because I have Skinnytaste’s high protein bagels (made with whole wheat flour) as well as yogurt in the fridge. Oh and homemade egg bites with veggies and chopped bacon too. Lesson learned.
Breakfast sandwich with a fried egg, Cabot sharp cheddar, and El Yucateco smoked habanero hot sauce (end of the bottle, which means I can open my new one!).
Better late than never. After embarking on a fairly lucrative hour of uber rides (it’s another home game woo hoo), and before a pickleball match to enjoy this gorgeous day, I needed some carbo-licious sustenance:
Fage with extra big booberries & the last of the golden kiwi.
But what did you pick?
One of each.
Obviously.
And two each of the cronuts.
