Oh that sandwich, with the melty cheese and green chile on it, that was my all-time favorite at Carl's, and the pastrami burger they used to have too. Now I want roast beef darn it!

Ok, Sonic pickle juice slushes, got one today and after about three sips of it, gave it to Chris. The sweet slush base was fighting with what was supposed to be pickle juice flavor, and it was horrible. It smelled like pickles but when I tried it, it tasted more like lime with an extra heavy dose of citric acid thrown in. I was so looking forward to this, but I think I will stick with my pickle juice ice pops I buy. Bleh.

I am heading to Eureka in the morning and a pickle juice slushie is on my to-do list, I have been waiting not too patiently for this!

If you use a giftcard, even if it only has 10.00 loaded on it, and you go checkout with 100.00 worth of stuff, the giftcard gets slid first, then the remaining 90.00 can be paid by check, cash, card, or even EBT card if you have that. A friend of mine didnt want a membership so when I go I reload a couple bucks on hers and that way she can go when she wants. I spend about 300.00 a month there for the two of us.

No pictures tonight, we had a Big Mac in a bowl, all properly lowcarb and high protein. Then, fresh watermelon sticks and an iced brownie. Was good to not have to cook much in this horrible heat and humidity.

Well, dinner is nowhere near the caliber of what I see here, but Chris and I enjoyed it. Dinner tonight - not sure if it is a Spanish tortilla or a frittata so I shall call it a Torttata! Shredded Gruyere, red potatoes, baby bella mushrooms, all done in my Instant Pot! Very tender fluffy egg, Chris kept muttering "mmmm...wow...omg...mmmm" the whole time he was eating lol.

I got some at Costco, a bag of five nice ones were just under 10 bucks. Worth it when you are a California transplant in Kansas and craving avocado.

Chicken breast and mushrooms in a garlic parmesan cream sauce done in the Instant Pot, over rice, salad on the side, no picture though.

Our BK must not have air scrubbers, you can stand outside and smell the broiling going on. It is also directly across from our Hostess/Dolly Madison plant so while smelling burgers, you also get the smell of bread and cupcakes and Twinkies baking. I think I gain weight every time I am stopped there at the traffic light.

Chris and I have never had Indian food before, besides getting naan bread a few times at the store. So, with my trusty Instant Pot, I tried a recipe for Butter Chicken with Basmati rice, and I have to say, it was plate-licking good! Served with a salad and warm garlic naan bread, I think we are hooked and I cant wait to try some other recipes!

Spent most of my afternoon making burritos for the freezer for Chris's lunch, so anything complicated for dinner was out of the question. Made him a steak sandwich with peppers and onions and cheese, wrapped and warmed in the oven since he was working late and I had a Bacon Buttermilk Pancake English muffin with some tea because I just wasnt in the mood for food. Muffin is very tasty, might get more for the freezer!

Spinach salad with ham, egg, mozzarella cheese and homemade bacon dressing, with dinner rolls on the side.

I found an Instant Pot glass lid for my DUO tonight on Amazon for 1.11 and free shipping. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop but if it does, at least I am only out 1.11!

Instant Pot chicken congee, great stuff when you feel like crap. Just cant seem to shake this yuck I have, sticking to disposable tableware for me and bathing in hand sanitizer trying to prevent Chris from catching it. At least the congee was good!

Honey Shrimp and scallion garlic rice topped with furikake, eggrolls on the side. Was supposed to be a nice dinner, but thanks to the pipe that let loose under the house and flooded my breezeway I will not have water till Monday. So the fine china it is!
