I just added 1/2 a cucumber, sliced, to my plate of Pad That with tofu – I am susceptible to spicy so it cuts the heat without smothering it. And, I get a vegetable!

The other half got either sliced into a salad or later some lemonade/water with a sprig of mint, which I drank while feasting on watermelon chunks. It’s hot here lately and a/c is extremely limited.

I celebrated Friday and re-listening to GA’s Magic Rises with a can of generic Pringles and a cool tub of artichoke & jalapeño spread. It lasted several gnoshing sessions into the weekend.

Just pass the potato chips and give me a spoon for the ice cream. If I’m too heavy for the pall bearers, you’ll just have get to stronger ones.

Shredded Gruyère cheese for cheese ‘toasts’. Funnel cake mix for a less greasy indulgence. It can get messy, but good food usually is!]]> I’m a big fan of adding things to a waffle iron and see what comes out 😹 Falafel mix for falafel waffles. Shredded Gruyère cheese for cheese ‘toasts’. Funnel cake mix for a less greasy indulgence. It can get messy, but good food usually is!

Can confirm – Gooey Butter cake is amazing! I have a friend from St. Louis who makes it occasionally.

Logan’s cucumbers are also very good. I made a kimchi one for my hubby the other day that he is in love with- I like the everything bagel one best so far.

Made pasta sauce yesterday. I love a good red sauce, it can be SO simple or you can be like me and pack as many veggies as possible into it. I’ll freeze it and use through the next year.

I’m a transplant to STL as well, although I moved here as a kid and consider it where I’m from/home. Gooey Butter Cake is such an interesting dessert, so many variations! And almost every local cafe, coffee shop, restaurant, etc. has a version (or several). But I haven’t had a chance to try the food truck, in fact I didn’t know it existed! Please Lisa, tell me the name so I can give its versions a try as well. 😉
