I am not sure if those Tostino's Pizzas legally qualify as a food fit for human consumption, but WHY do you people pay a dollar or so for a packet of two of them when you can go to virtually any supermarket and obtain a variety of cardboard cartons for free?
Today, I had two eggs and some Picante sauce nuked in an olive oil-ed bowl for breakfast and two chicken drumsticks on a bed of rice with red beans, some turnips or squash (I don't know which) and a small dog-treat sized Guava pastry for lunch.
Beverages: Parsley tea, orange juice.
Suffered from post prandial somnolence again but when a Congressional hearing is playing on my computer, that is probably a blessing.

Some of us are poor and consider it a treat to get a pizza for $1. Besides, I like them. It is hard for me to find something I like that will fill me up for $1. If I ate one per day I would never need to eat another meal, that would keep me full the whole day.

Was reading about a new syndrome that mental health professionals are noticing. It's not clearly defined yet but it seems a fair number of people who are living these new diets become obsessed with "clean eating".
It's called Orthorexia, and symptoms include obsessing over clean diets.
Warning signs are
Compulsory checking of labels
Cutting out an increasing number of food groups,
The inability to eat anything not pure.
Unusual interest in what others are eating.
Obsessive following of food and healthy blogs and podcasts.
There seems to be a split in opinion, as some feel this is a form of OCD while others feel it is a separate disorder although most Orthorexia sufferers also have OCD.
Similar to Anorexia, orthorexia can result in malnutrition.

Anorexia nervosa results from an infection of fusaria that produce various tricothocenes, notably DeOxyDivaleol usually referred to as DON.
Shrink types who treat it want the money and control, probably the same as this fanciful disease.

I love anchovies. I really like anchovy butter.
Soften a couple sticks of butter and add a
2oz can of anchovies with the oil and hit it
with a stick blender. Great on veggies or
shove slices of it under the chicken skin
before roasting.
Amazon has 14oz cans of anchovies for
$7.59, which is really cheap. They are
very good for you, high in B-12 and
Omega-3's. Good on salads, on avocado
sandwiches, in omelettes.

I ordered some Kimchi. It's not what I remembered having per se, not very good. It came packed with ice packs, could smell it when I opened the package, which means it wasn't sealed. I ate it anyways. 2/5*. Now I have 2.5 Kg of punishment before me before this thing is gone.

Had two meatless tacos from Del Taco.
Unlike the Whopper and Carl Jr's patties, which tasted very much like their counterparts, Del Taco's meatless taco is very different. Tasted and smelled very Smokey. Perhaps too Smokey. It reminded me of the bbq'd beef pies my mom made fifty years ago.
I received a few BOGOs for future purposes but I doubt I will use them.
Sadly, Del has eliminated their ground turkey as a menu option.and replaced it with this more.expensive, less tasty item.

There’s only two types of men in this world. Men who think anchovies are disgusting, and men who pretend anchovies aren’t disgusting because they can’t cook.

Uh huh. As I've said before I went to
culinary school for a year, so I'm a
pretty good cook. Better than good,
actually. I started cooking at 8 and
have never stopped. It's the people
who don't cook, and were spoiled
as kids, that don't like anchovies.
Or anything other than bland over
cooked fast food & the crap that passes
for food at most buffets.

bean mush and coffee. no, I didn't bother to read the label.
today I have to cook a pot of beans but I forgot to soak them overnight but i'm resourceful and will figure things out.
finished the bag of lentils since they don't need soaking but had spoonful of peanut butter and that put me to sleep until I awoke from pain of socks nearly amputating my legs just below the knee.
Now I've put the lentils into the refrigerator and will shortly have lentil mush nuked with Picante sauce.

I don't subscribe to the theory that NYC pizza is the only pizza worth eating, but there is something special about the crust. I tried, the place where my friends eat that I forgot the name of. Had pizza with vodka sauce and italian rice balls, which I had never heard of. The pizza at citi field, which is actually a take on Detroit style. L'Industry, which is a place in Brooklyn with a high yelp score. Finally, Mamma TOO! in Manhatten.
All excellent, but the latter was the only thing that blew me away. That might be the GOAT.
Hit 2 Jewish Deli's. Sarges had awesome cole slaw, good Mushroom barley soup, good pastrami. 2nd Ave Deli had great matzah ball soup, good pastrami.
Neither floored me.
Eating so much of that stuff made me feel kind of crappy when I wasn't eating it. But I was also drinking alcohol and eating fried foods, which is probably the real culprit.
Time to eat nothing for a while.

4 boneless chicken thighs sprinkled with copious chicken seasoning. Fried up with 2 sliced up tomatoes and half a can of mushrooms. Served with a portion of ratatouille and two big glasses of home made Cabernet Sauvignon.

Saved a smaller portion for tomorrows lunch.
