I always wanted to write my own but something held me back, mostly web design but also that gaming is my passion. Trying new foods and reviewing what I eat has appeal but I don&#8217;t want to go out of my way to do so. In the end food eating is more about fuel and survival than going out of my way to eat different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So with my health on its year 7 downswing, my chronic illness beating me down, and my future uncertain I decided to just make this blog. This is a blog about the meals I eat. Unglamourous survival. While other food blogs are focusing on pretty dining out, or newest products or what they cooked. I am just someone trying to make it thru to the next meal or next day. An air fryer\/toaster oven combo, a single burner on a stove that is unreliable, a failing microwave and an unreliable toaster are all I have. I lean more towards frozen out of necessity rather than choice. <br><br>That isn&#8217;t to say I may not review little snacks I come across, and I like many Americans eat more fast food yearly than I should (the should being 0 of course). I like trying new things, I like when I can cook new things despite the day to day stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will see repeats, this will not be a blog you&#8217;ll want to read always, but it&#8217;s the one I need to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years I&#8217;ve followed food blogs and food news.
