Speaking of ice cream, has anyone tried Magnum? Holy Moley...so good. I am never buying it again because I just saw the calorie count but wow.

gaobest...all of these sales are cyclical . All of them. If you miss a sale on chicken or grapes or steaks or ice cream, it will be back in a couple weeks or on sale at a different store next week. There is absolutely no reason to stock up.

https://www.magnumicecream.com/us/en/home.html I’m pretty certain that all ice creams have high calorie counts which explains why they’re so tasty :-) |
Magnum is an international brand owned by Unilever. I’ve seen their bars at Costco. I like their variety of ice cream bars in Indonesia. Haven’t seen tubs on sale, here.

agreed on cyclical sales but I’m unsure when our favorites will be on sale again - I only shop at one major supermarket (Safeway - Albertsons) in sf. Only other shops I visit are pseudo-gourmet grocers (our equivalent of Napili Market and a store that would complement Dominique Ansel) and my hyper-local cornershop. first had Magnum in Spain in 1986. I also love Moevenpick of Germany although I love almost all ice creams in Germany, especially Italeis (gelato). I’m pretty certain that all ice creams have high calorie counts which explains why they’re so tasty :-) |

there’s gotta be better places in Raleigh / Durham / CH. I ate so well when we went there in October 2018! We went to several restaurants including a great pizzeria that was semi-walking from The Aloft, if that’s the hotel near the performing arts center. Happy dining!

I had pierogi for lunch and they were great. We bought fresh ones at Whole Foods (potato, cheddar, jalapeno). I sauteed them in some peanut oil and had them with a salad.
I remember the Polish ladies at my dad's office bringing in pierogi and eating them dipped in sour cream. I bet that was decadent. I think theirs had meat in them, though. Tonight I'm going to make orecchiete with pesto and chicken. |
leftover pizza and meatloaf for my luncheon, probably with raw carrots and potato salad. One day I’ll figure out how to make my own potato salad :-)

Oh there are. But unfortunately the person I was having my lunch meeting with picked this place because it was cheap. I do agree with you that you can find good pizza and I think I know which place you're referring to. But I still haven't found an honest to God good Italian restaurant here.
I also loved Monuts. if not for severe humidity and heat, I have fantasized about relocation. IMHO it’s lower cost of living compared to San Francisco but the high heat and humidity would be a challenge. I’m less bothered about the political differences :-) |

This is way more decadent than the bars. The entire plastic container is coated inside with a thick coating of Belgian chocolate with an extra thick layer on top (drool). And the inside of the flavor I got was rich and creamy vanilla with huge swirls of gooey salted carmel. It is over the top. And I would say it was way more calories than other premium ice creams.
I would KILL for my mother's potato and cheese peirogi. Kill. I haven't tried any store bought ones since she died 5 years ago because I can't imagine they would be close to her perfection. I would eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner when I visited her. Always with sour cream. It chokes me up just thinking about them. |

NYT recipe Salted Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies. A royal pain to make, but so worth it. |

Leftover pizza for luncheon - reheated at 350, it was fantastic. Plus tortilla chips with leftover pico de gallo and some potato salad. Very yummy.
My spouse had spanakopita, chicken tenders, and cherries for luncheon; I bought them at Gus’ (now I can say that they’re probably like Gelson’s). our child is at SUMMER CAMP and luncheon is provided: Tuesday - chicken tenders wednesday - Mac & cheese thursday - corn dog i’m just so thrilled for this!! |
