What did you eat today?
I’ve also found these Oikos no sugar added Greek yogurts for breakfast.
Avoiding sugar/carbs tends to suck.

I thought I saw a tomato slice.

And I'll bet it looked exactly like that. I once returned a sandwich to Subway because it looked nothing like it looked in their advertising. I mean absolutely nothing like it.
Quote: rxwineWhile in the grocery store, I saw these packages that you can put in your toaster to make grilled cheese sandwiches. You use your own bread and cheese, They showed a tomato slice on the it as well. I was tempted to buy it, but I don't usually eat grilled cheese sandwiches

Good God...
"I never saw her go to a fast food restaurant much as like Chick-fil-A and all the places I like to go. She never did that. Whenever you went to her house, I don’t care what day of the week, she was cooking. So, I just think that had a lot to do with it."
Got to cook it from scratch, always be cooking.

I have never been one to care what my food looks like as long as it tastes as expected. I laugh at those expensive restaurants that worry about presentation.
this one is on my very short list of truly great food items
if you google it together with "reviews" you will see it getting either 4.5 or 5 stars - 5 stars is very rare in food reviews

fixing now rice, black beans, sliced tomatoes from the garden, and of course mushrooms .... sauteed in a mix of oil and cultured butter
might get too hungry to post that picture!
Unfortunately, my lifestyle is not conducive to making my own kimchi, so I purchase it. This batch of radish kimchi seems like it was not peeled correctly, so many of the pieces feel like they're wrapped in the woody core of a pineapple. This is odd, as this brand usually has pretty good quality.
The sliced cabbage kimchi is scorchingly hot, and generally excellent.
Smoked sardines in oil are a nice counterpoint, when I don't feel like frying up a spam. (This was discussed, but a few sardines from the jar were preferred to frying eggs and spam.)
Sated and going back to my day.

It's not batter it's bread crumbs and it's that color because I use both turmeric and smoked paprika along with about five other ingredients. Turmeric is orange and smoked paprika is bright red.

Here's a bucket of KFC, how is this chicken a different color than my chicken. Looks identical to me. Why is it okay for KFC but not for me.

I had no intention of implying yours was bad. There is nothing wrong with a seasoned breadcrumb dredge.
As for comparing yours to KFC, the stripey bucket drive through chicken is more evenly colored. This is an expected difference; theirs goes into the fryer all one color ("mostly white") and comes out mostly one color ("mostly golden brown"), yours has some natural variation in color and texture from seasoned breadcrumbs getting unevenly toasted in the oven.
Cheetos crumbs are delicious, they're just no darn good for me.
Quote: EvenBobOven baked chicken with stewed tomatoes and asparagus

Here's a picture of Cheetos. If you think they look the same as my chicken, as my grandma used to say, you need your eyes examined.
So far what I have on the menu:
Garlic grilled shrimp
Seafood gumbo
Stone crab claws
Crawfish etouffee
King crab legs
Macadamia crusted scallops.
Also love big cashews, roasted and lightly salted.
Breakfast today was a large chorizo and egg burrito with a green sauce.
Quote: billryanA few months ago, I tried Cook Unity meal service. I got 50% off the first order but decided it wasn't worth it at regular price. They recently sent me an offer for 50% off with free shipping for two orders and then 50% off for up to eight weeks, as long as I order each week. Three breakfasts, three lunches, and six dinners, delivered for $84.

I wouldn't eat that food if it was completely free. You don't know how it's been handled, you don't know how old the products are that go in it, you don't know what greasy hair pimple-faced kid cooked it and did he wash his hands after he handled his Johnson in the bathroom. You couldn't even pay me to eat it. Every time I see ads like those on TV I always think, do people actually order this crap. Thanks for clearing it up.

You are very welcome. It must stink to spend half your day tossing out barbs, and no one bothers to take your bait.

What barbs, I'm completely serious. Nobody should eat that pre-made crap, you get what you pay for.
Grilled Asian hanger Steak, charred broccolini, and delicious black and white rice with purple crunchy stuff. It would run $25 or more at a steak house, but I'd consider it a bargain. It appeared to be a small portion, but two hours later, I'm full.
It's made from corn kernels, mayonnaise, mustard, and honey, with black pepper and salt added depending on taste. I'm really sorry I missed out all these years. People put in on hot dogs, burgers, steaks, shrimp and you can even get a cup of sauce with potato sticks that you eat with a spoon.
George Washington's favorite food was hoe cakes topped with honey. What about more recent presidents?
Match the presidents with their favorite foods...
1) JFK
2) LBJ
3) Nixon
4) Ford
5) Carter
6) Reagan
7) Bush 41
8) Clinton
9) Bush 43
10) Obama
11) Trump
12) Biden
a) Cheeseburger
b) Pot roast
c) Jelly beans
d) Nachos
e) Pork rinds
f) Cottage cheese & ketchup
g) Ice cream
h) Grits
i) Clam chowder
j) Cheeseburger pizza
k) Fast food (McDonald's, Burger King et al)
l) Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes & gravy
Last night, I had a cowboy steak, hash browns, southwestern corn, and red peppers. At the regular price of $12, it's a bargain, but it's a steal at the extended 50% offer I have for them.

Sounds like Cook County Jail food to be, and if this is as good as the restaurant you eat at please don't make me eat at the same restaurants.

I froze two and will see how they cook when thawed. If you order a dozen meals at a time, you save a nice chunk of change. Four meals are $13.50 each, but a dozen is under $11.

Never been a dumpster diver. There are dumpster diving clubs all over the United States made up mostly of Housewives who go on specific evenings to their local grocery stores and dumpster dive for expired bakery items, grocery items and whatever they can get that is salvageable. Large grocery chains throw away a ton of good food with expired dates and if you know the right time to go to these stores these people do very well. Not my thing..
Quote: billryanI had a delicious lasagna for lunch. I love lasagna and this was one of the best I've had. A great ratio of cheese to meat, with fresh pasta, and basil that sets it off. It is better than any of the takeout places around here. A half a salad and this would make a great dinner

I could give you a $0.79 can of tuna or a can of $5 gourmet tuna and you could not tell the difference but I could. What's your point.

Oh I got it. I just love it when I veer off in another direction and the other person doesn't see what I'm doing. It's especially fun when you do it in person and they're insulting you and you act like you don't get it. Literally drives them crazy. LOL
Even at the full price of $13 a meal, the quality and convenience are well worth it. I'll fill my freezer chest with them at 50% off if they freeze well.
Quote: billryanTonight's dinner was chicken parmesan with rigatoni ala vodka. Although I prefer veal, this was a delicious substitution. This serving was much bigger than the usual entrees, with two large breasts nicely breaded and seasoned, with a blend of fresh mozzarella and shredded parm. Twelve minutes at 350 degrees had the cheese bubbling and turning brown. Add a salad and some bread, and most people could get two meals out of this.
