Muesli, almond milk, banana

I'm in the same camp as you, I think if you debone/de-tendon them, cut into pieces, and braise in a flavorful liquid you may find them acceptable. Chili, butter chicken, etc.

I did read a comment on the Wirecutter site (NYT) about potential issues with blades scraping the plastic, so it's apparently not an uncommon problem.

Desk breakfast - Macintosh apple, Dave's Killer Bread with almond butter.

I’ve heard positive things about Frutero, which flavor did you get? I had half the pint of Jeni’s for lunch yesterday🙃

Whole Foods has ice cream and frozen treats 50% off for Prime members through 7/16. I've made one purchase and will likely be back😋

Breakfast cookies (vegan), basically oatmeal with mashed banana. Freezer bound for weekday grab+go.

Another side trip today after a meeting, Trenton Farmers Market. It is in an enclosed building, there are a couple of farms selling produce, baked goods (breads/pies), misc vendors (watch/clock repair guy), couple of people doing prepared foods (of note, Hambone Opera, which is BBQ and smelled amazing...even though I don't eat brisket or ribs). I bought a pound of fresh fava beans for $4. The Yukon Gold potatoes were tempting, at $1.99/lb, they were beautiful.

@rotuts, how do these compare in saltiness vs the smoked trout (which I found fairly salty)?

I finally hit the right timing heading back from a meeting with a customer and was able to stop at a cute ice cream place I've passed many times (http://www.tksicecream.com/). It being 90 degrees and the first full day of summer, the only responsible option was ice cream for lunch. The "small" size was quite generous, I was able to get 2 scoops to try different flavors, had strawberry cheesecake and black raspberry w/choc flakes. I only wish it were a little closer to home. Or maybe it's better that it isn't!😄

Had som tum at a Thai restaurant last night, how do you know when a green papaya is “ripe” for use?

I bought a bag of the rye crisps, but have put them away for another time. I ate too many handfuls of the peanut butter covered caramel popcorn and am waiting for the sugar crash that will surely come later.

yes, I've had the salmon before. I think I prefer the trout, although it was pretty salty. Thankfully, I hadn't added any salt to my salad so it balanced out well.

Had brought a salad from home for work lunch-seedless cuke, avocado, tomato, roasted yellow pepper, just a little lemon juice-intending to add some kind of protein. Went to TJ's and picked up the canned smoked trout fillet, quick lunch!

Lunch kind of looked like a hot mess, but turned out tasty (office lunch necessitates creativity). Had a small amount of leftover fettucine Alfredo-ish with broccoli (pretty bland). Purchased a small piece of grilled salmon at the local supermarket, flaked and warmed it in the microwave just a bit, tossed it into the hot pasta, and sprinkled some furikake and fresh black pepper on top to add more flavor. Having a little jar of furikake in the office has been a smart move!
