The owner of Jimmy John's who was in the hunting scandal sold the company, so now I can order from them with a clear conscience. Too bad they're still not as good as Subway (which isn't that good itself). Sometimes more palatable than paying $19 for a pizza from Domino's, though.

I buy mine from an apiary here in the island. I have met the bees that make my honey, and made candles with their wax.

Did you shake their little hands?

Don't be absurd. Proper bee etiquette is to tap their wings. Duh.

Every time we go down to or swing through NYC, we bring our cooler and make a stop at Schaller & Weber. You can order from them on-line also, but you can't replicated the smell of their shop through the mail.

The Butcher Shop Keeping Old World Delicacies Alive (Published 2020)

Schaller & Weber, in New York’s once predominantly German Yorkville neighborhood, has supplied the city with knackwurst and sauerkraut for three generations.

I often swing by the grocery store salad bar for lunch. I walked up to all that open food thinking of all the hands that have been serving from it and noses that have been near it. I decided to go with a prepackaged sandwich and carrot/celery sticks. I don't like that my healthy choice was taken away.

We just had a "Cafe Luz' for dessert. It's a local specialty of Luzern, Switzerland. A shot of "traesch" (mixed fruit schnapps), a bit of instant coffee granules, sugar, and hot water. It warms your body and soul. Sounds simple, but it is so, so good. Woo hoo!

A great way to start your day: a zeppole and a pot of French-pressed Cafe du Monde.

My first guess is Ponderosa lemons, but based on the dishes, I would like to revise my guess to grapefruit. Very nice!
My trees have 6 Persian limes, 2 Meyer lemons, and about a dozen kumquats. The Key Lime tree just bloomed and the orange tree will probably bloom in a month or so. I would absolutely love to have them planted in the ground so they could really do what they want to, but New England means citrus here are in pots and brought inside for the fall and winter.

Key limes!

We have navel and Valencia oranges, Meyer and Eureka lemons, grapefruits and pomelos. For the past couple of months, we've been enjoying blood oranges. Our citrus trees are all very prolific this year.

I get mine from an Iowa producer normally. However my wife's cousin gave us a few jars from his hives, so super local it is for the time being.

Bought 4 more corned beef today (have two already). Seriously thinking about getting more. It's brisket. For $2.28 a pound. I can easily desalinate them and smoke them as regular points. Or make pastrami. or whatever.

Does the woman have no sense of smell? I would definitely have noticed if my hands smelled like cheese.
