  1. I bought Zahav hummus for the first time, it was on sale (they stock it at a local WF, since it is in the Philadelphia area). I'm sure it's better when you get it fresh at the restaurant, it wasn't "exceptional" as a prepared product, but certainly better than the mass produced brands. I'm able to get some excellent ones that are made in Brooklyn (Sonny & Joe's is one good brand), and homemade (with good ingredients) is best when you can do it!

    low-fat cottage cheese ( no added salt - why not add your own ? )

    I’m with you, especially when having it with fruit. I had mine today with peaches, sliced toasted almonds, and honey.

  3. Had a bowl of (planned) leftovers from last nights dinner that I ate cold: grilled salmon with ginger chutney glaze, grape tomatoes, "supergrain" blend with some Asian-ish dressing to moisten it. Nice on a 100 degree day, staying in the airconditioned office all day.

  4. Chopped salad (cuke, cherry tomato, orange bell pepper, pickled red onion) with cottage cheese. Very refreshing!

  5. Canned fish or jarred tuna is always in my pantry for when I just can't be bothered. MIght put it on a plate, might not. TBH, I do have stretches of disinterest in eating and out of concern for getting "some" protein intake, at least, those cans/jars along with Greek yogurt are pantry staples. Now that it is grilling season, I'll be better at having a supply of grilled veg and chicken on hand to throw together.

    I agree they are probably overly sweet.  When I had a day job, I’d buy a package of these flavors, taste one and leave the rest in the break room.  Easy peasy.  I could probably use a few in a cookies & cream ice cream but would have no use for the rest. 

    That's the strategy, I have a couple of men in my office who will hoover up ANYTHING left in the kitchen area!

  7. Agreed, the flavors have potential as a combination, but more than likely the whole thing will be overly sweet. Don't think I want to risk buying a whole bag/package. But they would probably work repurposed as rum balls...

  8. I have a couple of Calphalon hard anodized skillets and saucepans that I've used sporadically for probably 20-25 years. Always hand washed and used non-metal utensils so they aren't scratched. They are still non-stick, but the cooking surface looks a bit dull. The quality is good, handles are solid formed aluminum and riveted through the sides of the pans. Calphalon had something they recommended in the past, their "Dormond Cleanser", for restoration of the finish, but it looks like it was discontinued. I think Barkeepers Friend is too abrasive for this purpose. Does anyone have experience with this?

  9. Lousy commute to the office this morning, but a breakfast I was looking forward to made up for it - avocado toast (Dave's Killer bread) with salmon candy.

  10. I can't say that food, per se, gave me comfort. It was the heartfelt effort of loved ones/friends making the effort more than anything. However, Mom's homemade chicken soup with noodles is good for the soul, and easy on a stomach that isn't really asking to do any heavy lifting.

  11. no photo...but it was definitely a spring-inspired dinner. Baked haddock with panko crust, roasted asparagus and tiny new potatoes. Strawberries for dessert. Sadly none of the items were locally grown, though.
