This is what my birds are eating today. I go through 5 lb of bird feed everyday.

That's convenient when you also have cats. Make sure there are places around the bird feeder for cats to hide. Because bird seed is cheaper than cat food.

I made an arrangement like that with a garbage can surround. You were supposed to have your garbage cans concealed when they are not on the curb for collection so I built a surround, and on top of it a bird feeder with an axle on one end. So I could tip all the shells and wastes right into the garbage can without touching any of it.

Cooked up a little breakfast.
A pair of chuckeye steaks, along with some onions and mushrooms.
Paper plates aren't glamorous, but neither is washing dishes on the road.
May the cards fall in your favor.

I never heard of chuckeye before. I'll have to give them a shot.
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

I eat about 75% of my meals at home off of paper plates.

They can be tricky to find. There simply aren't a lot of them on each animal.
The ones I usually find have a fairly heavy fat cap. I feel the steak benefits from rendering the fat cap in a smooth pan or flat top, then frying off the meat in the drippings.
A ridged pan, broiler, or grill would tend to lose the richness of frying the meat in its own fat.

I don't go for a Montreal style seasoning, because I don't think a crust of peppercorns helps a steak that I'm not eating with freely poured strong liquor.

I think at home, about 25% of my meals are either out of repurposed Cool-Whip containers, or balancing over the sink (a-la all the 25 year old single women I've known over the years).
Between us, we may have it covered. ;)

A bit of flatiron steak, mushrooms, onions, and peppers.

I was hoping to have it yesterday, but it wasn't quite defrosted ("unthawed" in the local vernacular). Very good, but I prefer the richer chuckeye. My doctors tell me to favor leaner cuts, so I mix it up a little.
