Today I had two slices of Grimaldi's pizza and a few more peanut M&M's than I care to admit to.
I still think Grimaldi's pepperoni pizza is the best in the country.

Having pita-less gyros for dinner. I'm not sure if it is a salad or not. I didn't get the tzatziki sauce just right but it's better than my last try.
Grilled some raw mozzarella and added some bacon bits for a side dish.
Tucson is recognized worldwide for its cuisine so I'm looking forward to spending the fall there. No more driving twenty-five miles to an over-priced supermarket or worrying about my food sitting in the back of a UPS truck for 12 hours before it arrives.

fresh batch of wild chanterelle mushrooms ... early this year, gotta check when there's a lot of rain
soup spoon for scale ... could have picked much more. I have found they don't freeze well like some other types. I'm sure you could dry them, but, not happening
I am just going to eat them while fresh till gone. Immediately sauteed some, served over rice. I was going to take a picture of that too, but I got too hungry

I ate some left over marinated London Broil with scrambled eggs and a dash of Cajun Chef's Green Hot Sauce. If you haven't yet discovered this hot sauce then do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle. The New Orleans School of Cookery recommended it for gumbo, which is what I use it for all the time, but it's also great with eggs.

I am embarrassed to say that all I ate yesterday was a half a bag of Jalapeno potato chips. Today I have been smoking a pork butt but because of the rain it is taking a lot longer than normal so I don't think it will be ready for dinner. Now I will have to dig in the freezer for some frozen meatballs.

My Mom used to smoke a bit more than two cartons a week. Almost every picture I have as a kid has her in it smoking.
When I was about 12, she sent me to the store with a quarter for a pack of Marlboro, only to find out the price had gone up to thirty cents. The counter guy told me I could bring back the nickel later. She told me to bring back the pack, and I never saw her smoke again. She just quit cold turkey, with no preparation or anything. From two packs a day to zero, and I don't recall her ever talking about it.

But you do have to cut down the sugar and junk-carbs (not all carbs) and eat salt in moderation
The good thing about salt: as long as it’s all coming from salt you add to food (zero processed food): add it until your food tastes right and you’ll probably be fine.
Many Americans eat 3500 mg of sodium per day without ever touching a salt shaker. Almost everything in a bag, box or can is loaded with it. Ditto for high fructose corn syrup

That's why I quit, in 1983 they went from about 65 cents a pack to 85 cents a pack overnight and I quit immediately and never went back. When I see what they pay now for cigarettes my mind can't accept it. All through the 60s my parents paid I think $1.99 a carton and then it went to $2.99 a carton and my mother quit. But not my dad, he did four packs a day into his fifties.

Love a sandwich with the tomato slices double decked, no bread in between. Sloppy as hell and takes practice to not have them slide out all over the place ... but devine.
Homegrown tomatoes are some of the most delicious things in the world*, a category of fine living in which the poor man might be able to exceed the well-to-do
* even so, they still need salt and pepper

You can also try them in Shopska salad with a shot or two of ice chilled grape brandy or Ouzo after a long busy day. There's nothing like it.
