Burger and fries. Ground beef with bacon added, cooked in the ci skillet, toasted briosch sesame bun, mayo, onion, tomato, ketchup, cheese, mustard. Homemade pickles, the dregs of a bag of Ore-Ida extra crispy fff. Dessert was Sicilian pistachio ice cream. Oh Diu miu, delicious. Burger and ice cream was a reward for losing another pound. I’m pretty sure I will find it tomorrow.

There was a one day sale on small avocados over the weekend (3 for $1). When I brought them home, Sunshine requested sushi. Luckily, I had just enough krab (imitation crab) in the freezer to make her some Kalifornia Rolls. My girl can really eat some sushi!! This is definitely one of her favorite meals.

Thanks. For me, a burger without onions is just not a burger.

I, too, require a nice thick slab of red onion on my bottom bun. Burger bun :grin:

More free mushrooms, mint and parsley from the balcony! Those mushroom compost blocks are the gift that keeps on giving.

These sound good! I rarely buy fresh mint, but might have to get a small bunch (or maybe a SINGLE plant for my deck).

Yeah, I know. It’s invasive like a weed and would definitely have to be planter-grown!


Last night’s dinner was pretty much the same as the night before, except I subbed salad for pasta. Also crisped up some skin for “croutons”
