Fish sticks with Nando's PERinaise. That's mayonnaise with Nando's PERi-PERi hot sauce in it. "A bit of heat but a tidal wave of flavor.", as they say. I ate that twice already. I'm glad I didn't have any tartar sauce to use on the fish sticks. I don't plan on ever buying it again.

I traded some fresh produce and boxes of raisins I got from my neighbor, food bank stuff, to my friend's wife for more stuff fresh from their garden. I even got some apple sauce hot off the stove. I took her a box of apples too. She pulled a bag of fish sticks she got from another friend out of the freezer and asked if I eat those. I could take them or leave them, but when I saw "wild caught Alaskan pollock" on the label I said yes. They're cut from fillets, not processed junk, and have 30% less breading than most fish sticks. Not bad.

Time for some mini chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I had apple butter on toast for breakfast 2 days in a row or I would eat that now. Ciao.

Almost lost me til the "cup of Joe".   ;D
It goes good with chocolate, especially Dark  .   ;D

Yes! The breakfast of champions. Chocolate covered coffee beans taste pretty good to me too, but I don't like having coffee grounds in my mouth when I eat them. Life is full of compromises. Either put up with the coffee grounds or don't eat them.

P.S. Chocolate covered cacao nibs are harder to find but worth trying too. Roasted cacao bean fragments covered with regular chocolate, for people who like less sweet intense dark chocolate flavor.

Taco soup and lemon pound cake.

I finished my last 2 bagels with chive and onion cream cheese for lunch. I gave away all of my potatoes except 2 of the big ones. I'll bake them in the microwave, maybe tomorrow, and put cream cheese on them instead of sour cream. I need to eat something now. I have 3 dozen eggs and most of a watermelon, so I guess I'll fry a couple eggs and toss some cheese on them. Watermelon for dessert I guess.

The only thing that's a bigger PITA than cooking for one, is planning meals ahead of time.

Yep.
The wife made spaghetti for supper tonight using sauce we canned last season (which does help with cost). After we had normal portions each, there's still enough to eat for the next three days. 

At least the leftover sauce is freezable......we can put it in there right next to the frozen leftover Brunswick stew and pulled pork bbq.  ;D ;D

You are so right, my man. Whenever my ex planned a meal we didn't have this, we didn't have that, and she couldn't remember where she put a certain utensil or the final ingredient the recipe called for. My meal planning is, I think I'll eat that stuff in the fridge later on, or, I wonder what I can find in the cupboard. Maybe I can put something in the cupboard on/in that thing in the fridge? Or, I'll make a trip to the store for something to add to something else I have, but only when I'm in the mood to go. I hate shopping and sometimes I eat until there's nothing left that I want to eat before I go to the store again.

Since I didn't eat any eggs yet I had 4 of them with soul seasoning and green jalapeno Tabasco stirred in, but not beaten, fried in extra virgin olive oil. 3-4 eggs are a good fit for my 8" skillet. I more or less left them alone until they were cooked about 2/3 of the way through, chopped them up just a bit because I didn't think I could flip it whole, flipped the pieces and let the liquid fill in the cracks. Then I topped it with Mexican-style shredded 4-cheese blend and shut off the stove. I don't have a lid to fit that pan so I put the big pan on top of it and let it sit for a minute or two. I slid it out mostly intact and topped it with tomatillo salsa verde. I wanted them done but not overdone and the eggs were so moist and fluffy that it really surprised me. I didn't know I could make eggs like that. I didn't know anyone could.

That was lunch. Breakfast was was Philly Cheese Steak flavor Lay's potato chips and not a lot of them. Now I'm going to eat the rest of the fried onions and that can of chili that have been sitting next to the microwave for a week and a half. With shredded 4-cheese blend too.

Instead of just wiping off the skillet with paper towel like I used to, I dried it over about a medium-hot flame until it smoked, poured in a little canola oil, and wiped out the excess with a paper towel. I made sure I coated the bottom and the rim too. The whole pan has a nice sheen except the handle, and I treated my other skillet the same way. I think I'll keep doing it the right way from now on. If I ever get a carbon steel skillet I'll do the same thing too.
