I’m hungry. And lazy.
Everybody makes a big deal about cooking a brisket, so I wanted to give it a try.

WSJ: My Digestive Tract Flunked a Health Test. Here’s How I’m Coping.
That is a photo of the journalist’s new-and-improved breakfast. It’s the worst looking thing I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t look like food. It doesn’t resemble anything. If it didn’t have the white stuff, it might resemble a scat salad. Mouse turds mixed with deer shit, with other animals contributing.
It’s supposed to be fruit, half of a granola bar, chia seeds, almonds and Greek yogurt.
Why would anyone eat that for breakfast? Just have black coffee and a cigarette, and live free.
How would anyone eat that? Put some yogurt on a spoon, and roll it in the mouse turds. Or mix it all together and eat a small bowl of disappointment.
Walking the dog or doing yard work is more fun when candy grows on bushes.
The blackberries are getting ripe and they are the best. Cherries are just as tasty, but birds eat them about 15 minutes after they ripen. Plums might be good, but my trees have more black knot than fruit. Eating an apple doesn’t feel like a treat, and the pears are too firm until they sit on the window sill for a while.
No sign of poison ivy in Sparky’s favorite parts of the yard.
When all of the Nutella is gone, I give the empty jar to Sparky.1 He has an impressively long tongue, but he can’t get to the bottom half of the jar. He puts a ball from the snack pit in there, and when it rolls out, it has some Nutella on it.
Drug to Extend Dogs’ Lives May Be Approved by FDA
The drug aims to extend the lifespan of senior dogs and maintain their quality of life as they age, building on the company’s previous RXE acceptance for a longevity drug specifically targeting the short lifespan of large breed dogs.
I don’t get how this works. I assume that dogs and people have similar physiologies, and two years living with Sparky hasn’t changed my mind. I have a developed prefrontal cortex and Sparky can poop whenever he wants, otherwise, our bodies work pretty much the same way.
When you’ve got a shit-load of steak left over from a social event, you eat steak for a few days. Eventually, it’s time for some variety.
New Therapy Offers Promising Solution to Childhood Peanut Allergies
Prior to our field trip to Cedar Point for Physics Day, one of my students who had a severe peanut allergy, came by to discuss medical precautions necessary for our day of fun.
He told me that food cooked in peanut oil, could send him to the hospital. Trace amounts of peanuts could kill him.
As my circumstances improved, I expected more from macaroni and cheese. That led to mega-roni and cheese, and complete satisfaction.
Ultra-processed foods and cardio-metabolic health
We are doing terribly. Ultra-processed foods make up 58% of the average American’s diet.
I should eat more salads, so I googled salad recipes, and it was horrible. Every recipe is 1500 fresh and zesty words. I couldn’t take it, so threw this together with what I could find at Aldi. It worked out.
