They have Fairways in NJ. They’re all closed or are closing. They’ve never really been exclusive to NYC. Also afaik the Union Square farmers market never really shut down. But I get avoiding it for safety reasons— I used to work around the corner and it was always a mad house.

I think they serve the same dish at Parm as well. Looks great.

Canned bacon actually exists? Gosh and I thought my bad idea of ordering a pizza at 1am would take the cake for today! Especially since I’m 1- no longer hungry (I didn’t eat yesterday) and 2- am nodding off from exhaustion!!

Idk I grew up going to LBI and I’m from NJ.

I’m literally gagging at the thought of that canned veggie cone.

I would pay a lot of money for a dinner like that.

Do you need a sister wife? 😂

I’ve done that as well!

@Toliver that’s exactly what I drink. It’s delicious and I have mixed it with various juices.

I don’t bake so I always use salted butter. And sometimes and more butter and salt than needed. A nicely toasted English muffin heavily buttered with a sprinkling of sea salt is a thing of beauty.

@Shelby I am absolutely craving that prosciutto wrapped melon. My best friends father eats it all summer long. I wonder if I went to visit him and not my parents (they live on the same street) if I could get away with it!

Sprite is also an occasional treat for me but non diet. Diet rootbeer, especially Stewart’s is a treat too. I figure my affection for diet ginger ale cannot be as bad for me as the 60 plus ounces of Diet Coke I’d guzzle constantly in lieu of food when I worked in Manhattan. Then again I was 100lbs so I wouldn’t mind being that size again. I just can’t do caffeine anymore.

A club sandwich as far as I care can be on anything. A croissant sounds delicious! Whike I object to the cheese, to each their own.

I went on a “date” tonight without someone I had met before. We had the “burger bites” which were mini burgers with arugula, goat cheese and spicy Mayo with waffle fries as a bun. Delicious!

The only soda I drink is diet ginger ale. I cut all caffeine out of my diet and I used to live off Diet Coke. It exacerbates my anxiety. Everything I drink is diet except seltzer which I drink a lot of and obviously water and wine.

That’s so sad about the donkeys! ☹️ The food looks amazing, as usual. I hope the weather doesn’t get too bad!

Hanger steak is delicious. It’s also a popular one at my butcher who does it in a great marinade. I have one in my freezer but am clueless as to use my big green egg.

I live in outside of a highly populated town and Whole Foods delivery to me has never been available. And I’m fine with that. I use Instacart and get Wegmans, Kings (a high end grocery store), ShopRite and Aldi as well as Petsmart, Sephora and Big Lots to name a few. I’ve always found WF to be too limited for me to complete an order. Ironically I have two WF stores within 3 miles of my home so should I ever get the urge I can simply go there. I don’t feel like I’m missing out.

Are those prices in USD? $24 for a six pack is outrageous! A resort I stayed in in Jamaica had tons of peacocks. They’re gorgeous but can be loud and not particularly friendly.

@Kim Shook I’ve used those before and they’re good. I used them for fondue.

No lie I had spaghetti-o’s for dinner last night. Revoke my “foodie” (I hate that word) card, I know it’s gross.

Can you tell me more about the cukes?

It really was. I used the microwave method. I have two more ears and am trying to go to bed versus making another!

Dinner was an ear of fresh Jersey corn. It was really good considering it’s a bit early in the season.

Same. Although I don’t have buns. White bread could work. I like to “boil” hot dogs from frozen in a pan with a NJT of water then let them “caramelize” for lack of a better term. But I don’t even know if I have hotdogs. I haven’t properly cooked in over three months. ETA: boil is probably the wrong word. Steam is more like it. NJ has some great hotdog manufacturers.
