All from my Friday Imperfect Foods box, except the bialy. This was the first time I ordered filet mignon; ime not regularly available. It was $13.99 for 10 ozs, grass fed and finished. What’s a normal price?

My oldest went to a Mexican border town for a couple of root canals and crowns.

She brought me back some Mexican bread, and a two liter bottle of Mexican Coke.

When we did the TJ daytrips in my previous life we used to bring back the 1.75 ltr bottle of Cazadores that we bought for $10 each!

Day 1 bananas and peanut butter. Very difficult mixing peanut butter into cold oatmeal. Not sweet enough.

Day 2 I added raspberries and a squirt of maple syrup. Still not sweet enough. I have enough for two more days of experimentation.

how about bananas and syrup? Or bananas and honey?
I fear that berries won’t be sweet enough plus they’re so great to eat by themselves. :-)

If you are adding peanut butter for the flavor, try powdered peanut butter. It is higher in protein and very low in fat and would mix in well. Why don't you want to heat the oatmeal to mix stuff in? Skippy Super Chunk is sweetened and would work (at room temp).

a lot of people train themselves to eat cold gloppy oatmeal. Ah well.

although your 10-Oz was plenty plus a surprise, and you didn’t need to buy 3 full pieces of meat :-)

i Would like a steak and need to wait a week or longer as my spouse & child both want less red meat. But boy do I love those Costco steaks!
