I'm more than a little wary of plant based and lab grown "meat." I also don't eat food out of a box. And I read the labels on ALL of packaged and canned food that I don't put up myself.

I have a serious sensitivity to soy. I was fooled again recently by a supplement that was soy based, and I couldn't return it after it made me swell up and made it hard to breathe for a couple days.

Wow! Did the Fu Ba Lu’s take part and do they wear bibs? I’m not too proud to wear one or schmooze for food. Save a seat for the next smorgasbord!

They always do, the little Princes! No bibs! Poached/shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, provolone cheese, Brussels sprouts, and kibble. No seasonings. :-)

ok.. I'm doing salads it seems. Yesterday I had a Ceasar Salad kit (a markdown for $1.61), with 5 cherry tomatoes for one of those little tomato containers that was marked down (I've used it for 3 salads so far, and there is still more than half of the container remaining $1.50), and a leftover crispy fried chicken tender (Krispy Krunchy Chicken from a gas station). It was ok, but I really don't like Dole's version of Caesar dressing.

Today I did a different salad kit, Summertime salad?, $1.61 again, $1 pack of tuna, 5 more of those tomatoes. I wasn't disappointed at all with it. The "summer Vinaigrette" was suprisingly good, and it came with shredded swiss cheese, sunflower seeds and an herb packet.

I had a grilled T-bone steak, baked potato, and broccoli crunch salad (all provided by shopping for Confero). It was so good!

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.

Made home made Posole with chicken instead of pork.
The broth was amazing and I loved that the chicken simmered down to super tender and wasn’t heavy like pork.
Really shined with fresh cilantro and lime, some fresh guac and chips, and a cold beer.

We've been working until late every night this week.. in fact, I just got home about 2 hours ago tonight, which was the earliest we've made it home all week. We've had some kind of fast food, or 35 mph food wherever we were when we got hungry every night. And tonight I had a very late dinner salad with marked down spring mix, tuna, marked down grape tomatoes, and buffalo ranch dressing. Yesterday we stopped at dinner time at a barbeque place in a city far far away and had pulled pork sandwiches with fried okra and onion rings.. Most of the other nights it was just some tacos from Taco bell because my son got Upside credit for the purchases.

I haven't had a decent meal all week....just eating on the run, unfortunately.
I hope to fix that today.
That posole sounds wonderful. I would prefer chicken over pork too... that bowl of posole I had in Arizona last month had a big pork bone served in the middle of the broth....then I knew it was authentic lol.

This sounds like the perfect detox diet for me! I’m definitely on board! I’ll just take the kibble on the side please. (and sneak it to the fubas when nobody’s looking)
I’ll bring Jell-O shots next time.

a bowl of good chicken tortilla soup and shared a nacho appetizer.
A very large iced tea and fresh grapes and a lemon iced cookie that came all the way from Brooklyn.

Made, you're sick? I sure hope you feel better soon.

Anyway, two days at home has been wonderful..

Yesterday I had Chorizo eggs, spinach, salsa and cheese on corn tortillas for breakfast and a salad in the evening.

Today was scrambled eggs with sausage gravy on them for breakfast, dinner was "italian soup" Italian Sausage, spinach, beef broth, italian stewed tomatoes, and potatoes (because my son doesn't understand how salt works). And at 03:00 I'm eating a large slice of razzleberry pie.

Razzleberry pie is a mixed berry pie, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and cherries. Unfortunately they don't take the seeds out of the blackberries and I end up paying for it. But it really is the best berry pie ever.

I have a feeling that I'm about to be caught in a glitch.. this is the second post I've tried to make that hasn't gone through the first two times I've tried.
