It’s one of those posts! I hope. The one that takes care of all the challenges without having to weave it into the body of the post.  This is a good thing because snow I am not limited to what I want to write about.  Problem is, when I don’t have that stepping off block I kind of run out of things to say.

Not!  I actually have a lot on my chest I would be very happy to get off of it, but I really think you have to be in the right frame of mind.  Like Sunday, when I was feeling somewhat angsty, it was really easy to spew word vomit everywhere, just to let something go.  But like a nasty hangover, or the flu, you can only spew so much in a short span before you just really don’t want to anymore.  I think that is why I so admire those of you who have the conditioning to write the way you do.  I mean I can’t even fathom writing more than one post a day.  Except when I do Friday’s Follies, but that’s not the same because I compile it over the course of the week and pretty much use the same format so it doesn’t take a lot of thought to put it together.  But those of you who post your stories, your insights and reflections, your poems photos and advice, more than once a day, well I admire you.  Of course, I wouldn’t read you if it wasn’t good so, you all simply amaze me. By the way, the mural above was found in an alley behind a brewery in the city.  It is painted on the outside walls of a multi level parking garage.  It’s one of those cool sights that you “need to know about” in order to find it or accidentally (or perhaps drunkenly) stumble upon it.  No, I wasn’t drinking.

I wanted to post this last weeks worth of food pics, as I know I haven’t, in awhile in my continuing (requested) attempt to compare some of the many home delivery food services out there.  Because I am a Food Network/ Channel junkie and my secret desire is to be a food celebrity, I am actually starting 2 new services this week so I will have unboxing photos soon! Perhaps a producer will notice and want me to develop this little side dish into a show. I can dream.  Anyway, the pics below include the service it came from (in case you couldn’t see it on the card) and just a quick comment.  Bon Appetit! (Hover on photo for info and quick review)

March 11 – Hello Fresh

One of the best burgers I have made. Very easy to cook and the side sauces that you make are complimentary. (Also think it’s one of the best food photos Ive taken! 😛

March 19 – Hello Fresh

These were actually quite good. I really enjoyed charring the corn and adding it to the taco. The cream sauce is very light but very flavorful. No complaints.

March 18 – Hello Fresh

This steak turned out very well. I really thought it was to be a tough cut of meat but it was juicy and flavorful. For someone who is not really a veggie person, this cream kale is one that I will make again.

March 17 – Hello Fresh

Got a little spoiled from a meal earlier in the week to the point of getting another one except this one was in a tomato cream sauce. As before, this was incredibly delicious. Everything went together very well.

March 14 – Hello Fresh

I think I received two HF boxes back to back as it was the last new service I started. This was my least favorite of the 6 I made. The pasta did not taste fresh. Actually was a little dry. The mix of flavors and the sauce really didn’t combine well.

March 13 – Dinnerly

This was a meal where the broccoli actually was the star. While the chicken was fresh, I was not a fan of the gravy and felt it was a bit bitter and worked against the other flavors.

March 10 – Hello Fresh

This was the first meal of this service I got and this was an amazing introduction. This was very easy to make. The only thing I didn’t like was the zucchini salad. I didn’t feel like it had a place on top of the other flavors. I a actually ended up taking the salad off and just eating the main part.

March 8 – Dinnerly. This was a great burger. Very easy to make and the sauces were very complimentary of the burger and fries.

March 6 – Dinnerly. I have yet to have a burger I don’t like. This one was incredibly juicy. The pimento cheese was very fun to make and while I may be getting tired of potatoes, these were done very well.
