My wife and I discovered the Gold Nuggets a couple of years ago, and they’re now our favorites. (Not easy to get just any produce here in the rural Midwest.) We have a bag of them on the counter right now.

This seems like a good place to restate my belief that it should be illegal for radio stations to play the sound of a car horn. They do so fairly often it turns out, and almost every time, it causes me a moment of panic as I look around to see if I’m about to be hit.

Seems like he may have opened himself up to some criminal charges, like unauthorized access to a computer system, for looking at those text messages?

Arrest you? I want to give you some kind of award!

I’m in Illinois, and all my life I’ve never heard them called anything but Long Johns. So, of course, I just went and searched the local Walmart store’s site for them, and they’re labeled “bars.” smh

Wine coolers are back?!?

Oh, yeah, I can see some ginger being good in there.

I’ve just discovered Walmart’s packaged pulled rotisserie chicken. It’s tasty and makes it really easy to mix up some chicken salad for lunch at work. Yesterday I made some, just mixed together about 4 oz of the chicken, a tablespoon of mayo, and a snack packet of nuts and dried cherries, then made a sandwich on keto…

Lemon is a critical ingredient for a good chicken soup, IMO. You want just enough lemon flavor that it makes you think, “Is there a bit of lemon in this?”

We have a local place that makes taco, BLT, and cheeseburger pizzas that are really good.

I’m curious if you were led to The Prisoner after watching Severance? I feel like there are a lot of similarities, or at least influences. Recently. :D

No Big Belly Burger or CC Jitters?

I’ve had ostrich, and weirdly it’s more like beef pot roast than chicken. Doesn’t mean it couldn’t be breaded and fried, though!

We sent Martha Stewart to prison for some small-time insider trading. We can surely put this MF away for a while for his many much worse crimes.

I feel like you could go all-in on the BLT and chop up bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, and a little finely shredded lettuce. Mix it all up with some mayo and put it between two slices of toasted sandwich bread. If I hadn’t already just eaten lunch, I’d be really hungry now thinking about this.

Something I have a lot with lunch at work is raw broccoli/cauliflower/carrots with salt, pepper, and drizzles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Also a mix of blueberries and raspberries, treated the same way. It’s amazing how good berries are with those traditionally savory add-ons.

How about tater tots? That sounds pretty great on a salad to me right now.

A few years ago we bought a fairly cheap little chest freezer. I measured it and found a metal 3-shelf rack online that fits inside and really helps keep it more organized. The alternative was just piling things inside and having to dig for them any time we wanted something.

Agreed on the paper vs. plastic. I’m in the southern half of Illinois, where we still grow peaches, though not as many as we once did. I planted a peach tree in my yard two years ago, so I’m hoping to have some of my own eventually. I planted a couple of apple trees, too. There are still a lot of apples grown in the…

Along those lines, putting a banana in a paper bag with something like an avocado or tomato will help ripen those things quicker, too.
