Revolting Bug Food
It says:
"Eat Bugs"
Bugs are a source of high protein.
Crunchy too.
The ones above were Cheddar Cheese Crickets!
There was also Chile-Lime Crickets (with Pumpkin Seeds) and Dark Chocolate Crickets (with Amaranth Seeds).
Then came the BBQ and Honey Mustard Crickets
And to top it all of some Salt and Pepper Mealworms.
OMG folks, we have gone back to the Stone Ages eating this crap.
Or maybe this is all that will be left when Armageddon finally comes. ;-)

Beyond Burger Good!
They are meatless burgers, and supposed to be pretty healthy, but they taste good too.
Let's just say these were very delicious and we gobbled them down.
Cheesy with tomato, onion, bun, and all.
As my father would say, "It tastes like more!" ;-)

Kosher Cheeseburger, Finally
I keep kosher.
And we don't mix milk and meat together.
Tough watching all the fast food commercials from McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, and more.
So lo' and behold, my surprise when they introduced the kosher cheeseburger.
It uses the Impossible Burger made from plants--and it's advertised as having more protein, less fat, no cholesterol, and fewer calories than meat.
So we got two bags of food from Goldberg's bagels.
One bag had breakfast with bagels and egg salad.
The other bag had the kosher cheeseburgers for lunch (after the morning's activity)
We ate the egg salad bagels and they were good.
But we were really looking forward to the cheeseburgers.
Finally, after all these years of waiting...
But what happens, Dossy threw out the garbage from breakfast and...
She accidentally threw out the Impossible Burgers with it.
So when we got back to the car, salivating for the cheeseburgers...
We look in the front, in the back, in the compartments--and nothing!
It's gone! It's all gone!
No freakin cheeseburger for me.
Not then, not now, and I'm afraid not ever. :-(

Who Took The Cheese?
What I see without fail, day-in and day-out ,is that the people take the yummy crispy cheese off the top of the mac and cheese.
The result is that just a few people get all the cheesy cheese from on top and everyone else is left with the noodles underneath.
So for cheese sake, why do they do it?
- For the Love of Cheese - People simply love melted cheese so much, they'll do anything to get more of it.
- Because They Can Take Cheese - People take the best part, the crispy cheese on top for themselves, because they can and there is only benefits to themselves and no adverse consequences if they do it.
- They are Very Hungry for Cheese - People take the cheese because they are so famished, only the cheese on top can satisfy their hunger pains.
- Sense of Cheese Entitlement - People have a sense of entitlement for themselves, and if there's cheese to be had, they they are entitled to it.
- Cheese Narcissism - People are innately selfish for cheese and they will take and take and take until there is no cheese on top for anyone else.
- Anti-social Cheese Behavior - People have anti-social personality cheese disorder, so they can't help but take all the cheese.
- Not Enough Cheese to Go Around - People feel their is simply not enough cheese to go around; in other words cheese is a scarce resource, which makes it a valuable cheese commodity to scoop up for themselves.
What is really funny-sad about this whole cheese situation is that every day the food service seems to put out the same leftover mac and cheese with a fresh topping of the cheesy-cheese on top, only for it all to be taken off again--cheesy day after cheesy day. ;-)

Walmart Ain't Got Nothing On The Shuk
Vendor after vendor.
Row after row.
Items stocked high for the taking and eating.
From the most delicious foods to Judaica items.
Fresh-baked breads and gooey chocolatey pastries.
Halvah and baklava!
Fruits and vegetables.
Spices, olives, figs, and dates.
Fish and meat.
Nuts, cheeses, and wines.
Candy, coffee, and slushes.
Hamburgers and falafel.
Virtually endless.
Dizzying in a good way from all the people and products.
Like the old times, but anew.
So much life and you never know what you'll find.
It's exciting in a way that big box Walmart will never be. ;-)

Pizza And Brew With Wonderful Friends
Yesterday, we had a beautiful little get together at our place.
In the party room with pizza and brew and lots of nosh--almost reminded me of the "Chometz Party" we had a number of years ago in our old neighborhood (great way to clean out your kitchen pantry before Passover),
Many of our wonderful friends from Magen David Sephardic Synagogue came to visit with us and celebrate one year plus in our new home in Maryland.
Truly some of the nicest and accepting people I've had a chance to come to know in quite some time.
I want to thank our friends for coming and especially thank my dear wife, Dossy, who did all the heavy lifting to make the event so beautiful for everyone.
One lesson was how to keep the pizza piping hot over many hours with people coming and going at different times--can anyone say melted cheese?
Another was how to schedule anything this time of year with Mother's Day, Father's Day, Passover, Shavuot and Memorial Day holidays, Men's Club/Sisterhood/and other community events, baby showers, weddings, vacations, and more--gee, there almost wasn't a free Sunday on the calendar.
Overall though, we had such a nice time with everyone, and Dossy is already asking about planning the next event and she says she is cooking, so watch out world! ;-)

Feeling So Naughty
It's from Trader Joe's and it's called Baconesque.
It's popcorn with white cheddar and bacon-like seasoning...it's Kosher (OU, Dairy)!
The sidebar from the man and lady dancing on the packaging says, "I can't believe it's not bacon!" and I'm thinking I can't believe it's just like bacon!
So I tear open the package, and dug in for my first taste of bacon-like popcorn (note: except for imitation bacon bites which my sister used to put on salads, I've never tasted bacon or anything like it).
One handful, two handful...almost puking now.
Yeah, it tastes like I thought it would, but maybe Jews know a little something too...I like a good piece of beef better, much much better. ;-)
