I took advantage of the lunch special at one corner bars for lunch today. I had a 1/4 pound cheese burger, home made chips and a pint of Mcfleshmans hefeweizen.

Total cost $8.07

One beer is $9 in most bars/restaurants here.  :(

I had a lunch malfunction today.  I had some leftover chicken and beef that I combined and weighed it.  Shit, 12 Oz (my limit is 15 oz).  I pulled 1/2 out and packed my lunch.  But I thought damn, that didn’t seem like 12 Oz.

As I’m getting ready I thought, WOChrisL uses the scale, I wonder if she accidentally adjusted the measurement setting.  Before I left I turned on the scale & sure enough, it was set to grams & not oz! 

My lunch was already in my car so I’ll make up my protein deficit at dinner!

Most beers are any where from 3 or 4 dollars and craft beers are 5 to 7 dollars 

There was a special on the Mcfleshmans hefeweizen for 2 bucks. How can you pass up a deal like that.

I need fiber to get my stomach back to normal after being whacked by diabetic meds.

It's getting better as the week moves along.

So I had Amy's Tomato Bisque Soup with some Ritz Crackers for lunch.

Tonight will be a homemade 1/4 pound hamburger with lots of green beans and stewed tomatoes.

Hey Mick, I’m not sure conventional wisdom will work with Mounjaro.  I’d stock up on Tums or Peptol…

what's a bottle of heineken in NY? Around here its between $3.50-4.00

$9.  Pretty standard for imports that have no hoity-toityness, and $1 more than standards like Miller, Bud, other crap beers (although I am happy drinking a Miller if that is what is in front of me).  $14 for a six from a grocery store if you'd like to have it at home.  I do happen to have some Heineken at home, the gf asked me to get some right before the breakup.  It'll probably sit until I have company here.

Some places will charge $10 for it when they try to keep the riff-raff out.

This 3-course" lunch" deal at an Italian local restaurant, Pucinella's ...which became dually lunch-supper for me @$22.00CAN.  I went twice within 2 wks. for different friends. The pasta was big enough.  I chose the lst course arancini which had saffron arborio rice inside which gave it a lovely flavour.  Both times, went to restaurant after 3:00 pm.

lst time- I chose the veal tortellini,  2nd time- gnocchi

The GF drinks Heineken? Classy. First time BCC & I went out, she ordered a Heineken after I did.

Ha!  It generally isn't a top choice for me, but she liked Stella and Dos Equis and occasionally Heineken.

I do like Dos Equis as a standard non-craft sessiony beer.

I've had Stella few times, tap & bottle. It's good. I never tried Dos Equis.  Funny thing about Heineken is, there is no other beer that I found that's similar.  A somewhat close second choice IMO is Molson Canadian. It's available in the Detroit area.

You are right, Heineken has a distinct flavor.  It has a slight funk/skunkiness that isn't off-putting, I understand why people buy it and get attached to it.

Yes, and I've been drinking it for years so switching now would be difficult. I do drink other beers, but my go to is Heiny. I do like heiny :D
