Gross.

But I'll give him creativity points for that.

I saw these on a store shelf Thursday evening:

I started cackling...

I just noticed we haven't talked much about sandwiches recently.

What Happens When You Leave Your Sandwich to Chance

To combat lunchtime fatigue TikTok user Jacob Pauwels (aka@adventuresinaardia) has channeled his Dungeons and Dragons knowledge to turn every sandwich into an adventure with Roll for a Sandwich.

What Happens When You Leave Your Sandwich to Chance

I'd fear getting the pig entrails and plastic wrap on wheat way too often for chance.

I’m game to eat/try anything (except plastic you weirdo) but yeah, I’d tweek his rules up a tad.

Mmm, head cheese and cabbage...

My Great Grandmother used to make head cheese and as a kid, I loved it. Basically she'd chop the pork cheek and tongue and left over other small bits of the pig and put them together in spices, green olives, pimentos and aspic. It reminded me of Bologna or Mortadella but courser. It was very tasty.

I generally make homemade pasta a couple of times a month. I would do it more frequently if it didn't take so long running it through the machine that thins it out and cleanup was easier. Then I saw this pasta maker and fell in love. Homemade pasta three nights a week now.




Edited to add a picture of the Bolognese sauce that has been cooking for the last 3 hours.

Serious post!

How sustainable are fake meats?

Checking whether plant-based burgers may have lighter environmental footprints.

I'm not completely out of the beef side of things, but over the past 10 years or so I've cut down my intake on beef products to about 3-4 times a year, which is the rare burger; I really don't miss steak and all the beef dishes I ate as a kid. I would love to drop dairy completely, though, leaving pork and chicken.

Chicken for me is probably non-negotiable.

I like beef. But I have cut down significantly on it, now eating it maybe 4-6 times a month instead of 3-4 times a week. But, like you, chicken is non-negotiable. Chicken is just too darned tasty to cut back on. Pork, I eat maybe once or twice a month at most. I need my dairy though; I can't imagine life without ice cream and cheese.

Dairy is what I just can't seem to reduce. Cheese, butter, yogurt, Oh my!

Like I said, I would love to drop dairy. I've cut it a bit the past few years, but losing it from my diet would be like learning how to shit off the wing of an airplane: Fantasy thinking.

I'm not sure I could eat this. It's too beautiful.
