@Katie Meadow – your retreat sounds lovely!  The fish and chips made me envious.  I’ve been obsessed with finding great batter fried fish for a couple of months and have still not been satisfied.  I agree with you 100% about those awful battered fries.  I’d honestly rather just have frozen regular fries than those limp things.

 

We are not doing restaurants this month.  Retirement is looming and Mr. Kim is trying to determine what a true food budget eating at home looks like.  So, instead of after church brunch out Sunday before last, I set out an assortment of stuff to nibble on while we watched football:

TJ’s Unexpected Cheddar, cream cheese, cranberry Wensleydale, bologna. Gouda, and hard salami.

Apple slices, red pepper jelly, honey fig spread, cocktail sauce, mandarin orange segments, and butter.

Crusty bread, Ritz crackers, and Raincoast Crisps.

One day, I got a craving for a Dagwood at lunchtime:

Lettuce, bologna, ham, salami, Swiss, American, sweet pickles, mayo and mustard.  I managed half.  I knew I wouldn’t be able to eat the whole thing.  I saved the other half for Mr. Kim’s dinner!
