Ground turkey shawarma, ate this with pita bread today for lunch and felt full the rest of the day.

Recommend adding more pickles than onions for a better taste

I once thought that finding bars in SF that have no TVs would be hard

I’ve since found three and now have high hopes that I’ll find more in the future!

When I picture my happy place, I picture

IKEA date: come with me on a walk through the entire IKEA showroom.

If we’re compatible, we can have some meatballs at the IKEA restaurant afterwards.

Increase your skills in London broil and you’ll realize that bottom round roast is the chewiest cut of meat - not chuck roast

Every week feels like a campaign to me because

I am constantly considering the logistics of putting food on the table and determining how many days I have left for personal consumption before food safety gets compromised.
