That's it. I can't stands it no more. I gotta go make some dinner!
There is a local Italian food chain that had a specialty pizza called the Cholesterol Monster (no kidding)."I'll have the Businessman's Cholesterol Special on pumpernickel, please."

I found a good personal food rhythm in Italy.
~8:00 double cappuccino and a croissant for breakfast
~9:00 cafe macchiato
[work]
lunchtime! it's a complete meal here
[work]
teatime! cafe macchiato and gelato
[sort of work]
5:00 walk home, stop for a beer and antipasti (olives, what have you)
kick back time
10:00 proper dinner time YAY (10 pm would be a little early for dinner in Milan, but they roll with it.)
by midnight home and zzzzz
Healthy, of course, is up to me. You are what you eat, unless no let's not go there. 
no more laugh track Twilight Zones over dinner

These places do takeout so getting it wrapped isn't a problem.
People scoff down a meal, then they get a pound or more sliced to go. My in-laws when in their 80's and 90's used to regularly buy an entire slab that came shrunk wrapped to take home on the plane. People can eat a lot of meat.
When I was a kid, all my meat went to the dog under the table. He like it way more than I did.
This is why I won't eat squid, see 2 minutes in. Those big wide open eyes are watching as they slice up its body. They chop the head off and it crawls away.

I like to eat to live, I don't live to eat. But I do enjoy fine dining. Just not big portions.

Quite right. It's that last bit that makes the day complete.
Then you'd like ballpark bacon flavoured crackerjack.

No, I read the book. It didn't have pictures, though.
Some recipes on the interwebs. Peanuts and caramel cracker jack used to go with ballparks. I recall reading that some minor league parks are banning shelled peanuts and cracker jack due to people with nut allergies.
All of the food talk is driving me crazy (my wife says I'm crazy already). I can't eat gluten at all. After much research, I am fairly sure that gluten is from the Latin meaning "makes everything taste better".
I know some people go gluten free as a choice, but I can't understand why. But, theirs choices means that there are more gluten free foods for me to choose from.

So because some people who are allergic can't read signs, everyone has to suffer. Sheesh.
That squid video gave me the willy's. I'll never be able to eat squid again. But then again, the Asians do have different eating habits than we do. Watching that was downright creepy.
When I was in the Army we went on an American Express soldier's tour of Italy for a weekend. Stayed in small B&B. The continental breakfast was delicious. Went downtown and was amazed at the huge farmer's market-- I was actually overwhelmed. When this whole thing is over I'd like to take Carey to UK, Germany, France, and Italy.
Last Christmas, we placed a sizable order from omahasteaks.com and when we opened the package of 4 oz lobster halves they were all dried up and shrunken. Had been overcooked. We got a credit for the lobster tails. We finally used that credit recently when we got our stimulus fund. We ordered some pub style cod, chicken fried steak, beef franks, and 8 oz ribeyes. We had the pub style cod tonight with brown rice and a salad. It was absolutely delicious! Saturday we're going to try the chicken fried steak. If you subscribe to their email service, you'll get discount offers on a regular basis. Often they throw in free delivery and you receive it via Fedex Frozen Product. Our stuff was still frozen. Highly recommended.
