Hot ham and cheese sandwich. I used black forest ham with mayo, pepper jack, provolone and American cheeses.
Good combo.  8)

Skinless barbecue rubbed chicken wings.

A new chicken & seafood joint opened in town a while back and so far they have been on-point with their food....hot, fresh and good amount for the cost...... yesterday I had their gizzard lunch special...dusted with their "crack powder" seasoning......fabulous....if you like fried chicken guts, that is.  :o  ;D  ;D

I love chicken gizzards, but no innards from below the gizzard. There used to be a couple places in town that sold them by the pint or quart. And they had little packets of hot sauce if you asked for them, which I always did. A quart of breaded, fried chicken gizzards can't be good for your cholesterol, but I'd buy them again if those places were still around.

I had 2 Leberkäse on caraway rye bread sandwiches warmed up in the microwave, with a side of Bavarian style sauerkraut. Leberkäse literally translates as liver-cheese, but it has no liver or cheese in it if you get it in Bavaria. In other parts of Germany, and Austria it does has a certain percentage of liver in it, unless it's labeled Bavarian Leberkäse. What it does have in it is beef, pork, bacon, and in this case at least, onions. I used too much mustard on my sandwiches and couldn't taste the onions, but it sure was bacony. It's a finely ground meatloaf.

The Bavarian style sauerkraut was made in Germany, not in Bavaria, but in Baden-Württemberg, the state directly west of Bavaria. The ingredients are white cabbage, white wine, salt, and ascorbic acid as a preservative. I had some Frank's Bavarian style sauerkraut before and thought is was kind of gross. I guess it wasn't really that bad. It just wasn't sauerkraut. Frank's, Libby's, and Silver Floss Bavarian style sauerkraut ALL have sugar and caraway seeds in them, neither of which is in the Bavarian style sauerkraut from Germany, which tastes like sauerkraut. Hengstenberg has been making sauerkraut for almost 150 years, and I think Germans now more about making Bavarian style sauerkraut than all these other companies.

Now I'm going to have some Whippet Raspberry Cookies for dessert. I don't think I've ever had Whippets before. They've been made in Canada for over 120 years, but I don't recall seeing them in the store until today. After that I think I'll have another Leberkäse sandwich, with no mustard to get a better taste of the ingredients.

Went back to the same place I mentioned in the gizzard post.
This time we tried their wings.
Good stuff again and their prices are fair compared to fast food joints. For example, I don't know if any of y'all have heard of Zaxby's chicken joints (mainly in the southeast), but they have what's called a Zax Snack. It consists of three fairly small chicken fingers and a mediocre size order of fries with a slice of toast and a 20 ounce drink......for $8.50 before tax. They used to be good eating, but quality has waned over the last two years as price has nearly doubled from five years ago.

The wing lunch special from the other place had five whole wings (equal to a ten-piece at most places these days), a pile of fries, slaw, two slices of bread and a drink.......for $8.00 pre tax.
Basically three times the food (or possibly more) for less money....AND, it's locally owned to boot.
Win-win in my book......think I'll try the fish and shrimp next week.

Sounds good, Peg. I've actually heard of Zaxby's but never seen one. 900+ locations and none anywhere near me, but it doesn't sound like I'm missing out on much. I'm a couple blocks from Church's Chicken, a mile or so from Popeye's and KFC, and the within a few miles other places, like a Seafood & Soulfood joint if I have a fried chicken emergency.

The last thing I had to eat was barbecue flavor pork rinds. The last thing I had to drink was Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey and Coca-Cola. A premium cocktail in a can, not malt liquor made to taste like something else.

I had a Ritter Sport candy bar, milk chocolate with cornflakes. I used to occaionally buy Ritter Sport bars when I was stationed in Germany, and when I see flavors I haven't had before I like to try them. They have combinations you don't normally find in the U.S., like chocolate with marzipan, a few varieties with hazelnuts, and a Butter Biscuit bar. I remember eating the Butter Biscuit bars, and I'm fairly sure I had some of the Rum Raisins and Hazelnuts while I was over there. That sounds like something I would eat too. Each flavor comes in a different color wrapper, and the square bars break into 16 smaller squares, but the bars with big pieces of nuts don't always break evenly. I drank a couple bottles of very good birch beer with my chocolate bar too. I don't know whether to crack open another one or finally go to bed. Birch beer first, then bed, I guess.

Yesterday's supper was leftover spaghetti from a church fundraiser Sunday night for our youth programs. My wife, me and several other folks cooked homemade spaghetti for nearly 200 folks. Donations reached over 11k.  :)  :)

This evening was take-out pizza (it's what the 8 yr old granddaughter wanted) and red velvet cake top scraps with the extra cream cheese frosting that was left over.  ;D  ;D  ;D
