Lunch just now was a toastie with manchego, japalpenos and ham. Very tasty. A sandwich press was one of my doomsday prepping things I bought back in March. Don't know how I lived without one for so long.

Last minute change of plan last night and ended up with Cauliflower steaks with an anchovy and caper dressing - absolutely delicious and very filling, which surprised me. Finished off with the first of the local strawberries with local cream. Simple but as good as it gets.

Brekky - cinnamon French toast and organic fruit (mango / cherries)

luncheon - store-bought Indian cuisine
coconut curry chicken (the one that Costco also sells)
rice pulao (from an Indian grocer)
lentils (also Costco)
i’m more aware of the sodium for future shopping :-)

Local ice cream.
Local pizza (Disappointing)
Sea scallops and roasted broccoli.

Tonight it was local lobster, local Cornish earlies, local leaves, local strawberries and cream - all caught/produced within 20 miles. Let down and massively enhanced by a Chassagne Montrachet 2010 Lamy which travelled a fair distance to get here!

today’s brekky:
French toast
corn-cherry scone & coffee

luncheon:
Leftover Indian food from friday
hummus & pita


bummer on the pizza. What’s the ice cream??

So fun about the strawberries & cream and other local fun cuisine. Big yay.

There's two chains out here that I know churn their own ice cream. One of them just bought an outpost of the other in the next town over, the closest location to where we're living right now, and they have a nearly identical menu. My current favorite is cookie dough (Just cookie dough and sweet cream ice cream, no chocolate chips) and coffee oreo. 1 scoop each. It should be illegal.

Brekky - french toast / corn-cherry scone

luncheon - grilled turkey burgers with cheese
reheated oven fries
grilled italian sausage (Johnsonville brand??) with grilled onion & olive-oil-fried egg
roll-ppang
ice water

It's been a rough travel day. Breakfast at my hotel started at 7 and I had to leave early to catch an 8:41 AM flight. I couldn't check in online so I wanted to get to the airport early just in case so I chose not to stop on the way to get anything. The only place open at PHX for food was Wendy's and it had a huge line so I ate leftover Mongolian BBQ from YC's in Gilbert.

I got to DCA five hours later to find no restaurants at all opened so I ate this which was all the food served in First Class on the flight from PHX:

This will have to tide me over until about 9 when I finally get home.

You should carry some snacks, beef jerky, granola bars, or something you like that will keep you from starving.

that’s how I learned, as well as carrying a day’s worth of clothes in my carryon. Both lessons learned in 1997 Personally plus that Northwest flight on the tarmac for 9 hours. I’ve gotten so outrageous that I bring snacks from home, buy nice food at the airport for To Go, eat a meal at the airport that’s separate from the To Go, and still eat the meal served on the flight.

I didn't carry snacks for ages, but the last few trips, I've made it a priority to have something, because there have been a few times where a small snack would be nice.

The thing that’s good about these, is they should last a long time, maybe even a year or two.

I usually pull them out of the bag when I unpack, consume them when I'm not traveling, and then restock.

I am still not seeing any veggies...especially leafy greens. Do you not like vegetables?
