Chips: Pirate's Booty (Aged White Cheddar 1/2 oz Lunch Pack)

2019/08/19: These taste similar to Cheetos with a bit more refined flavor and improved ....
Each bag is a large portion that oys way more than enough for most lunches.

Dessert: Ice Cream - Dovebar Minis and Nestle Drumstick Minis

07/10/2018 - Perfect little dessert or treat on a hot day (or really anytime). The Nutrition Information for 1 Bar/Cone was listed on the packaging, making this entry a breeze with only a few minor calculations.

Breakfast: Frozen Waffles (Kroger)

2019/08/01: Quick, sweet and with plenty of topping options these are great for breakfast in a pinch.

Sandwich: Grilled Cheese

A warm, gooey and comforting sandwich; I learned that the best way to make a grilled cheese was to add the butter to the pan first (from the extras for the movie Chef - I used to just butter the bread).

Back at Long Last

This all started in 2012 as a way to explore interests and keep a record of some projects, but shortly thereafter life changed directions. The time commitment was more than I could spare, I lost focus then completely forgot it existed. I maintained some of the data tracking that began with this site, the Nerdist Way Character Tome, Nutrition/Water Intake/Sleep sheets, but did not post and let things slide.

Panera

The food is on the more expensive side of normal fare, but the meals and pastries are delicious. There is a comfort to the atmosphere in the restaurant that matches the menu - great place for a standard meal. Here are a few of the more enjoyable Meals and Selections I often select.

Dessert: Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Chocolate covered pretzels are a great sweet and salty treat. Either purchased by the bag full or made with family during Christmas time; (add link to Chocolate Covered Pretzel Experiment) they are delicious.
