Fresh ripe figs.  Wowza.

Aunt Jemima became pearl mining company.

I shredded some mozzarella over another Jack's pizza. It's easy and today sucked.

Mom really appreciates when I make pizza, it's one of the few dinners where there are zero complaints. I got red pepper flakes for her a few months back, and it's like a magic cheat code.

Burritos. I'm using a larger and thinner tortilla, and I feel it makes for a more generous burrito.

I understand that's not really the point, the "little burro" if you will is meant to be short and fat, but beefy burritos are popular in San Diego.

Anyway, despite being thinner, these store brand tortillas held together like a champ and didn't spew out the innards as a lower quality tortilla would.

I hesitate on lower quality as these are great value, but I think they honestly beat lizard skin mission on a versus level.

Glass of red wine.  It's been a long day.  Not bad, but tiring.
Cheers.

I'm with you. I bought a lovely montepulciano d'abruzzo (Asda's ES range, if anyone is interested) and I knocked off a little early to indulge.

That sounds delicious.

I slept like a log.  Having tea now to wake up.  Yay Fortnum's & Mason's!

I've been doing a lot of the beef quarantine recipes from Sam the cooking guy, if you follow his Meat - Onion - Garlic - Spices mix, you'll never really run out of burrito meat.

Got a lot of push back on the cheese wiz. Specifically, the jar, not the spray can. I can understand the hatred of the spray can, that flavor cannot be forgotten no matter how hard you try.

I also have to watch Sam videos on the headphones, mom hates his voice now.

I might lie and say the cheese wiz is just Queso salsa. She likes that.

I don't eat red meat, but it sounds like you have been working on some new recipes.

We had green bean red curry tofu for dinner, a thai recipe.  Over basmati rice.  My dad used to eat Cheez Whiz.  It came in a jar and he'd nuke it and make nachos with it.

ATM Croissant and Emmental cheese with coffee.

I got the monster tacos at Jbox because they're going away on the 1st.
They're just bigger than usual jack in the box tacos. I'm not sure what I expected.

I stumbled on a recipe for blueberry muffins via Sally's Baking Addiction and they were delicious.  I used frozen blueberries and they are so good.  We ate some this afternoon, even though they are intended for breakfast.  The house smells great.

Food timing is a construct, eat what you like, when you like.

I've actually enjoyed omelets more for dinner than I ever have in the morning. I'm not a breakfast guy at all, so eating one for lunch or dinner just feels more comfortable.

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" was a marketing line.

I spent most of high school forcing a breakfast down every morning for energy, and I despised it.

The weather has finally shifted in a direction where the oven returns to viability instead of being a cruel device.

I rarely eat eggs for breakfast.  They're too dense.  I'll often have them for lunch, and sometimes for dinner.  I mostly eat a scone or a muffin for breakfast, and if I've run out of things I've baked, maybe some panettone or an English muffin.

I realize there's not much protein in these high carb breakfasts, but that's what I eat.  It's mostly to help keep something on my stomach while I imbibe warm caffeinated beverages such as tea or coffee.

We keep finding (and not liking) these pilsburry pizza crust things we made about a week ago.
Every time it's the same reaction. "ooh, biscuits"

The mini pizza crust is reheated, buttered, and bit into. "Yuck!" we exclaim "This is that damn pizza crust again".

I haven't made biscuits in over a year. I don't know why I keep thinking they're biscuits. Maybe it's the shape? Either way there are still like six of the gits in a container.

I tried making a sloppy joe on one, that was a mistake.

Biscuits are so easy to make.  Flour, buttermilk, baking soda or baking powder, salt, butter.
There are many recipes online.
You can freeze them, too.  They reheat well.  Lord only knows what they put into those tubular ones.  Pizza crust too, but it usually requires yeast, so it's a slight bit more fussy.  Still, it's amazing what you can do with a little flour.
