Still at 

Although it seems that while we were here enjoying ourselves, this happened

Have to see what actually happened, in the connected building, when we get back.

Upper pool tuna mayo sandwich

Tonight for dinner I built a really good, veggie filled salad. Sometimes that's all I want. 

I did add croutons and dressing. 

Just have to remember to take a couple of antacid pills before hand, as this will give me reflux faster than a spicy sausage.

I never imagined you as much of a meat eater.  🤣

There are a few meats it'd be very difficult for me to give up. Surprisingly it's not steak. I want a good steak a few times a year, but could easily give it up. I eat a burger about the same amount of times, maybe 3-6 times a year. Again, easy to give up. The difficulty for me would be bacon, sausage and seafood. That would take a real effort. 

My dad used to say, you can't beat that with a spaghetti sandwich.

I'm not so sure about that.

Trying to do the math on the carbs, but I'll need Shelly's help!

What are your personal thoughts on aspartame, now that the FDA is getting comfortable with the WHO and the EU’s positions?

What exactly are Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsand's views on Aspartame?

Similar to

My ADI is significantly below the threshold of concern.

Plenty of other things to worry about,

I'm confused.  Once you toss them, don't they become one salad?

I don't know who is tossing your salad, but in my situation no intermingling has occured. It's a case of 2 Salads, 1 Plate.

That curry looks amazing, Grahame!

We went to a Vietnamese owned BBQ joint yesterday for lunch I'd read about.  The BBQ is fairly traditional with prime brisket, ribs and jalapeño beef sausage, but the BBQ fried rice had brisket and a Chinese sausage that was a bit sweet and yummy.  They also pickled their jalapeños in a soy concoction that was delish.  

Overall, high marks. Place is called Brisket & Rice for those that like to wander Houston...

Upper Poolside Nibbles.

Fancy nibbles! Are you with some Brits? Obviously, I didn't say other Brits given your current citizenship.

An Eastern European dual citizen polyglot (Is there any other kind?), that could probably help 'Stretch with his pronunciation.
