What did you expect me to do? Face-plant into the takeout container like a horse eating from a trough?

Anyway, the XLB made everything alright :blush:

Thus the cup top :slight_smile:

I’ve had to come up with some pretty ingenious hacks whilst traveling and trying to eat in my hotel room.
We make due with what’s available :smiley:

The farmers market I shop at during the summer is open year round. During the summer they are located outdoors however during the winter they move indoors. All of the prepared food vendors are located at one end of the market and there are lots of tables and chairs nearby. I stopped in for lunch today after a Sunday morning art class so I had a felafel sandwich. It came on homemade saj and included felafel of course as well as lettuce and pickled turnips. It was probably the best felafel I’ve ever had and you can’t go wrong with saj. My art class is every Sunday morning for the next six weeks so I will be going to the farmers market for lunch (and maybe a little shopping) every week until class ends. I’m eyeing the bimbimbap cart so that might be on next week’s menu :grin:

Yesterday’s pizza…today’s lunch, and I didn’t mind it at all!
A Project Hazelnut slice, fresh mozzarella, Rutgers University hazelnuts, ricotta.
A slice of DiNatale , fresh mozzarella, pine nuts, delicious black olives.
And a watercress salad for a little freshness.

Bacon and jalapeno Havarti omelet with a side of multigrain sourdough batard. Quite filling, so dinner might just be some yogurt and fruit.

I had the absolutely. worst gyro of my life today, delivered. The resto is close by, and everything else I’ve ordered has been fine, and importantly, arrives hot. They do American diner food, and Indian food. I love gyros. Note to self: next time order from a Greek carry-out. Or one that’s run by Greeks. Or go to TJJs and stock up on pitas to freeze, gyro meat and tzatziki.sauce.

Had a great visit with my endocrinologist this AM, all my numbers are so good he’s taking me off the Metformin! 4 less pills a day to take. So I celebrated with one of my favorites, feta and raspberry jam on toasted multigrain batard. Another 12-15 lbs to go!

When I see falafel or hummus on a menu of a restaurant serving gyros, I usually back away from the gyros. LOL

What’s interesting to me is that the formerly Greek immigrant- run family restaurants and diners in small town Ontario are now frequently run by South Asian immigrants. One local, formerly Greek-run restaurant near where I live has been taken over by Romanian couple. Another is run by a Laotian family, which kept the burgers and poutine, and added Pad Thai and some other Laotian-style Thai dishes. Quite a few formerly Greek greasy spoons in Toronto have also been taken over by Sri Lankan families.

Samosas and Butter Chicken (an easy sell to non South Asian clients) are often new additions to the menu, and bacon and eggs, chicken souvlaki and Greek omelettes usually remain on the menu. I haven’t tried the gyros at any of the family restaurants now serving samosas.

I’m currently in a omelette, club sandwich, BLT and Western (Denver) sandwich phase when touring around small town Ontario.

Why it’s TACO TOOZDAY, with our favorite taco slinger in town offering each :taco: :taco::taco: for $3!! How could we resist?

We couldn’t. From L2R: brisket tinga, 5-spice beef, roast pork. Haven’t had that 5-spice beef in eons. Tastes like xmas.

We took them home bc they were out of hot sauce, and I ain’t eating tacos w/out hot sauce.

Herdez avocado hot sauce and El Yucateco FTW. Delectable :face_savoring_food:
