Earl grey tea and a cream scone.

I wonder what ChatGPT could do to mash that one up.

Earl grey T, very popular

Whoops I did it again.  Earl Grey.

Accompanied by raspberry buttermilk cake.  Now I really have to go walking to burn that off.

Pizza.
Medical appt yesterday did me in pretty good, so I decided this morning I was NOT going to make dinner.

It was good.

There was a pizza I wanted to get at a different location, but those gits have switched to using BBQ sauce instead of pizza sauce.

I can see the novelty on ONE pizza, but all of them? golly that noise. It's like they want to go out of business.

This is tax season, so I'm eating lots of easy to prep food:  microwaveable curries, pizza, pasta with jarred sauce.  It would be nice to have a cook.  Chicken barbeque pizza is as far as it should go and then, experiment over, knock it off.  Get that tomato sauce back.  In Berkeley there's a place we call "Commie Pizza Land"  but it's really the Cheese Board Collective.  You get what they want to put on the pizza that day:  corn, onions, whatever.  You take what you get.  Just like a good comrade.  We don't go there much.  Sometimes the wacky mix can be good.  It's often creative, but that's not necessarily a good thing when it comes to pizza.

Not to diss the place completely.  They do have decent onion bialys, and those are hard to come by around here.

I love me a good cheese slice when made well (with tomato sauce).  That, and a glass of seltzer is a dream lunch when you are hungry.  And it's usually cheap and filling.

Made two burgers and fries tonight. Mom had already had dinner so I stupidly ate both like I was still 20. I regularly ate two burgers back then, and was fine.

I'm not 20 anymore, and my stomach is angry.

I should have just wrapped it up for next day lunch, but I'm an idiot.

At least I don't put bacon on them anymore, that was constant. I learned to bake bacon because I got tired of dodging snap pops.

I made a tuna sandwich for lunch on a whole grain bread and cut it in half.  After eating the first half, I felt content, so I wrapped up the second half for later.  I'll either eat it later this afternoon or tomorrow.  It's hard to do that, but helpful to train yourself to pause while eating to figure out if you feel like you are no longer hungry and don't need more.  Eating slowly helps.  I'm trying to lose a few pounds, so I'm kind of focused on not overeating these days.     Walking 4 miles a day on top of that also helps.  I think if I had to rely on myself to walk alone, it would be harder, but my husband has been walking with me so I'm grateful for the company.  Using an app to keep track of how many flights I've climbed, calories burned and steps taken gives me more of an incentive.  That said, I feel like taking a nap.

The woman I work with as my manager, she is very much into her smart watch telling her all the calories and steps of the day. 
I live on chicken, rice, celery, apples and the skatepark in town.

I made a mistake with dinner last night, too much grease, much discomfort.

So tonight, I just shoved a Swiss cheese sandwich in the toaster oven. Sometimes the basics are exactly what you need.

It seems to have soaked up the residual heartburn nicely.

I love a good grilled cheese sandwich.

I'm making cream scones and will smear homemade jam on them when they come out in about 10 minutes.  Earl Grey tea to bring me back to consciousness.

Bea, it sounds like you have a decent diet, despite your busy life.  We look at the health app on our phones to see how many miles/steps/flights we've managed to clock in a day.  I don't think I would want the intrusiveness of a smart watch.  My phone is bad enough for telling the world what I get up to in any given day.

Blueberry muffin and earl grey tea.  Thank god for Fortnum and Mason.

muffins, how divine.

burgers. The burgers were unimpressive, but the onion slices were fantastic.

Turkey burger on toasted english muffin with dijon mustard.  It won't win any awards but it was cheap and filling.

Yesterday I had quiche (well, you gotta get in the swing of it, eh). I just hope it didn't contain lard ...
