I had a bowl of rice crispies with sliced strawberries and banana (and a piece of rotisserie chicken breast on the side for protein) for dinner.

Hey, rascal, do you know that menudo has tripe in it LOLOLOLOL!?!

I'm laughing because that was the first soup served to me when I was 16 by my high school boyfriend's mom (Mexican, obviously). I didn't eat the chewy things in it and they didn't tell me what it was until I was nearly finished. The broth and veggies were good though.

I make it with the stomach lining but others use the intestines! Want the recipe with the intestines?

The Korean all you can eat buffet near me has intestines on the menu. I don’t like the way it tastes.

Lunch, starting to cut back for the start of the diet on Monday.

Fresh sourdough, smashed avocado, chutney (hidden) and tofu. Followed by strawberries.

If you cut them small it looks like shrimp!

I made Mexican rice for a dish and forgot to set a timer, and when I realized, half of the rice was perfect, and the bottom half turned into socarrat, a wonderful, delicious "mistake."

Some Korean guy at my work said something not positive about, I don’t remember what.

I've a Persian, I think, recipe for making a rice dish where the bottom is crisped up with olive oil. It's a tricky dish to get "just right" but it is so good!
