I want to try the impossible burger at Carl’s Jr.
And I hate Carl’s Jr.
But - the impossible burger. For less than $11.

Even when we lived at Lake Tahoe we were never really snowed in. We sometimes CHOSE not to go out.
I have not tried it.
I was going to try it today as I was going to be running errands right by a Carl’s Jr. And then I looked up the nutritional info -

710 calories. I’d have to just eat half (which is normally what I do but still. Eek. )
So I skipped it and in a complete turnaround, decided to try the new vegan dog at Ikea. Surprisingly decent! My husband asked “Does it taste like a hot dog?” and my answer was “No. It takes like a fresh veggie burger in a hot dog shape.”
I liked it enough that I’d have it again, googled it and discovered - I can! Just 226 calories, including the toppings and the bun and just 75¢ - I have a fab new option.

Mercy. What’s your daily caloric goal?
Wow, that’s an oddly personal question.
I’ll just say that I’m five feet tall and, that while I do exercise, I do not run a marathon a day : )
Sorry, Happy. I certainly didn’t mean to offend. But half of 710 isn’t very much for a lunch. But your height certainly says something. Again, my apologies. You’re one of my faves.

Oh, shush. I already apologized. 
BTW, my middle name is “Lynn” because my mother wanted a short name to go with my long name…which isn’t “Cath.”

Oh you. No offense taken. You’re one of my favs as well. Just seemed odd to me.
But again, I am used to being five feet tall (but hopefully not wide) and all that entails… : )
Oh good. I’ve ‘shrunk’ to about 5’6" and need to lose a ton of weight.
I feel so awkward that I offended you. xoc

I may have run out of “cooking” sake for a steamed kabocha dish and I may have used Born Gold for this purpose . . . after I took a hit straight from the bottle.
As Julia Child said, “Remember, you are alone in the kitchen and nobody can see you,” but my wife walked in and caught the whole thing. She still loves me. I think.

Twice now the same neighbor has seen me bite into a stick of butter. I hope she thinks it’s cheese.

Yama-san (at Yamakase) been known to serve butter straight-up as an entremet course in his over-the-top omakases.
