Tilapia with mango salsa the other day. Also recently beef pot roast with mashed potato. And weird juice. And red-and-white Valentine's Day cheese raviolis (buy these after 2/14 at a nice discount).

Large chunk of honey-smoked salmon on a multi-grain cracker. So good.

Was a bust today in Fullerton.
At least I downed a gummi vitamin on my way out
- Surprisingly, the Morning Star Chipotle Black Bean Patty was the star with plenty of kick... and as long as I knew it wasn't trying to be a fake burger, I was ok with it.
- Some white cheddar -
- More salty brisket -
- Butternut squash ravioli - meh
- Kirkland sliced turkey on rye loaf - meh
- Cream cheese mini muffins - meh
- Pita & flatbread road show - meh

Others offered:
Corned Beef and Cabbage no
Special K Pastry Bar Strawberry/Blueberry ^
Special K "new" Cranberry Almond Granola cereal ok but dry? needs milk
Lentil Soup no
There were a few others, but since it was so close to 4 pm, many were already rolling their carts to the back for cleanup

Decent stuff out today for the Easter weekend:
- Spiral cut ham - still not as good as Honeybaked, but better than average.
- Reser's potato au gratin - also above average, but their mashed potatoes are way better.
- Boursin cheese on a Ritz cracker - you can't go wrong with that
- King's Hawaiian rolls - tasty
- Raisin bread of some sort - delicious
- Whole wheat English muffins - also tasty
- Naked Juice - had a shot of Green Machine, and I feel much healthier now
- Meatless teriyaki-glazed crispy chicken - surprisingly good and chicken-like
