Grilled Mozarella at 150lbs

· · 🌡️ 17°F

Last night @mike and I went shopping at Wegmans after the gym. I managed to spent $100 on groceries that essentially fir in an around one of those blue handheld shopping baskets.

That's the problem with shopping in the nature's market are. On one hand, it is healthier. On the other it breaks the bank.

I also spent entirely too much on the olive bar and seafood area, but honestly who can say no to $6 1lb bags of shrimp and gorgonazola stuffed olives. I had never seen them before. They are fat green olives stuffed with Gorgonzola and then packed in olive oil. This makes them much more expensive because they are very heavy. The taste, however, makes up for the price.

Truffles are up to $900.00/lb. Have you ever witnessed anyone having the lock box opened. I wonder if you could get the entire display box with it, if you chose to buy a lb. In reality they probably don't have more than 2 ounces in the store.

Having to eat for gym body paul is like being pregnant. I am almost at 150 (146 right now) and 150 had been my goal since 1995. Accordin to the trainer Jon at the BAC, who looks almost exactly like Justin Timberlake, I should be striving more for 180.

So I guess there is a lot more dedication and eating coming up but at least it feels good to meet my original pre-gym goal.

@mike made this really yummy mini grilled mozzarella sandwich. These sandwiches are about 2 square inches big each. My mother also makes them between two slices of polenta. That is a serious treat. 8 think I will make some and document the process. Another alternative is between two slices of french toast like egg battered bread. It's an itaian classic.

    If I were going to spend $900/lb on mushrooms I would expect them to let me sample them first.

    mm... i love grilled cheese. Not the wonder bread and cheese slice kind. The mozzarella and/or swiss and/or jarlsberg and/or edam, etc., etc., kinda way. I think cheese and rye breads go really well together. Yummy Yummy!

    I just noticed at Wegmans yesterday that truffles are now up to $999/lb. I wonder when they will hit the 4 digits!
