Speaking of salt, I'm now experimenting with new-to-me salts, after realizing that the various salts I've used in the past all contain Dextrose, "a simple sugar made from corn or wheat that’s chemically identical to glucose, or blood sugar, often used as a sweetener in baking products and found in processed foods and corn syrup." At Walmart last week I bought a container of its house-brand "Himalayan Pink Salt", ingredients listing as being "Pink Salt" and nothing more. I'll say this - it has a strong taste. I'm now constantly over-salting my meals, despite using less salt than before. I'll get the hang of it, over time. (I have some Redmond Real Salt on the way from Amazon. It too includes no salt.)

Bought four New York Strip steaks at WallyWorld last week. One two-pack was marked down substantially due to being at its "use or free by" date. I ate the first of those for supper the day of my grocery run, the second several days later. Both were absolutely yummy. The best NY Strip steaks I've cooked and eaten to-date. The two fresher steaks were merely okay. Nothing wrong with them. They simply didn't compare to the "less fresh" steaks.

Pizza!

Panera's Dark Roast Coffee!

Since I cut back on my coffee intake, I now get mine from Panera's twice a week for my caffeine fix. It's the best of all the places I've tried!

And another one!

I had a salad last night, made it myself. Too hot for pizza lately, even with AC on in the house. That's not to say I don't like pizza at all, though! But pizza's more fall-winter food in la casa Renee. Just plain cheese & sauce. Maybe some black olives & green peppers sometimes. I like salads, but I don't want a salad ON my pizza, if that makes any sense.

Feel like we've discussed this before.

Khajiit’s favorite pizza is chicken bacon bbq. With jalapeños if we’re feeling spicy.

It's Monday, time for pizza. There are several good pizza places in the neighborhood, so we rotate between them

I think we have

Agree with above quote, btw.


My favourite include bearnaisse sauce and beef which is why it's my favourite. Though I'm not adverse to the odd jalapeño


Nice to have options. We have two in my area but I go to the same one

Pizza for me this afternoon. Yum.

I made some homemade kosher dill pickled radishes. They were tasty but stank of a dead mouse.

Pizza!

I just had a bowl of carrots and broccoli. Man I miss Pizza Rolls but I need to maintain this diet T_T .

More power to you for keeping the diet

Thanks! I just made some traditional spaghetti while using spaghetti squash. I can't wait for thanksgiving so I can make my spaghetti squash alfredo.

Interesting. Can you post a recipe?

Actually, I wonder if a recipe thread would be something good to do? We could all share recipes!

Here's my contribution:

1. Call local pizza place
2. Go and pick up pizza
3. Go home and eat pizza while watching youtube



Enjoy!

Really all you have to do is cut a spaghetti squash crossways, season it with garlic and herbs seasoning, little salt & pepper and a tsp of olive oil.
bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
Use whatever alfredo sauce you want and don't forget the cream cheese and parmesan!

Oh and don't forget to scoop out the seeds .

Good on ya, Reaper! I prep sketti squash the same way. It really is a nice way to 'lighten' most any pasta dish.

I'll never go back to using pasta again! It might take a bit longer but the spaghetti squash is much more healthier and doesn't spike one's blood sugar.

Yeah.


Another pizza.
