All that stuff sounds good. Probably can't have seconds of what you like best. I might be able to handle a turkey BLT but prefer normal ones.

I got some McDonald's fries today and used at least the equivalent of 3 packets of ketchup from my fridge. I will only eat Heinz.

I miss some of the "bad" stuff we used to get at school and at my work cafeteria. They don't make much normal food like that any more probably because people wouldn't eat it. I was thinking about that earlier today, the cooks (all older white ladies) who had to do all that work and those huge stainless steel pans in hot water. They used to make some of the most delicious stuff. Sirloin tips in gravy on noodles. Mushy veggies lol. High quality meat cooked in large quantities. The stuffed green peppers with some kind of tomato beef gravy were to die for.

The school food was pretty good, too. All I remember are juicy steamed hamburger piled on buns with no condiments, didn't need any. Double mashed potatoes and gravy lol They had that every single day and another choice but some days I brought lunch from home.

My great grandmother was a public school cafeteria cook in an old industrial town in the midwest...
She and her fellow cooks used to bake vast numbers of made from scratch apple pies, chicken and handmade egg noodle dumplings, fried potatoes, fresh puddings, etc.

“I will only eat Heinz”

I used to think the same thing. The brand sold at ALDI is easily as good and much cheaper if you want an alternative.
