Me-TLC

Rarely are my food adventures visually unexciting. That's part of the fun, isn't it? Even at home, dining by myself, I endeavor to keep things interesting. I always know when it's time for some Me-TLC.

Thai Food has been a recurring theme lately. Also, appetizers served in lettuce wraps have been ultra satisfying.

Salads have taken on new meaning by adding a fried egg. This adds a new dimension, and I find that different dressings transform each dining experience.

Any bunless burger is fun, but I find this Swiss and Mushroom burger to be delectable!

When it's time to Thai one on, does it get prettier than this?

Traditional Phở can go noodle-less. I find bean sprouts to be a satisfying substitute.

DINING OUT

After 33 years of marriage and raising three children, I am not used to shopping and cooking for just one person. I also arrive home later. As I am rethinking these challenges, I am inclined to finding affordable ways to eat out. 

For instance, I have the Smashburger app on my phone. I am fond of their bunless burgers and fried (unbreaded) Brussels sprouts. I received this particular meal for free yesterday, and I recently paid $3.00 for a signature Cobb Salad—which features a fried egg. To accomplish this, I consistently participate in their online surveys, and I scan my receipts for reward points. Taking surveys have garnered favor with the staff, primarily because I continually praise their service to Smashburger corporate. The more diligent I am, the more the rewards seem to pile up. 

AT HOME

As I begin to cultivate scaled-down meals at home, I am averaging one meal per day. I seriously am not that hungry. If I do snack, it is with something fatty.

A dear lady at church has been gifting me with homegrown zucchinis. They are delicious breaded with crushed pork skins and then roasted. I am using crushed Chicharonnes to bread many items, including fish and onion rings. I call this my new summer thrill.
