Just had grilled cheese(seeded rye & extra sharp cheddar) and vegetarian vegetable soup. Not sure if it's lunch or dinner. I'll probably have to get something later, but it should be relatively light; maybe miso soup and french fries.
 
Tonight i kept it simple. Four buns with 3 baked eggs and some slices of ham. Added a little bit of iodized salt as finishing touch.

Vegetarian vegetable soup? Is beef or chicken stock usually used or something?

It's typically beef stock. Here's the ingredient list...

First pass at homemade Nutella-stuffed chocolate Twinkies tonight. Dope. Will definitely be refining this recipe in the future.

I've had a Twinkie pan for awhile now (search Amazon for "canoe pan") & it is awesome for making homemade Twinkies. The new retail Twinkies are smaller than the old ones & don't taste nearly as good; homemade wins by far in this case. I've made gluten-free Twinkies, banana Twinkies (sooooo good), protein Twinkies, etc. I got hooked on them after trying some custom-made Twinkies at a bakery out west...they did red velvet, chocolate-chipped, peanut-butter filled, basically their shop specialty was unique Twinkie flavors. Perfect when you just want a snack-sized cake & not an entire cake (because, you know, self-control...). Next on my list is chocolate-striped Twinkie cake pops: (curse you, Pinterest!)

Decided to go to Sonic and get a double cheese burger and a large fry. Now I need to go to the Home Depot and rent a rotor rooter to clean my heart out.

Is your Sonic's good? Ours is awful. Just the most boring food ever. Everything on the menu looks good, but even their ice cream is disappointing. Their real fruit slushies & Blue Ocean Water are about the only things I like off the menu.

Would love that Nutella-stuffed chocolate Twinkies once it's finalized! 😀 I don't particularly care for store-bought Hostess Twinkies, and since homemade's usually 10x better, I'm game.

Like most store-bought baked goods, they were good back in the day...the 80's & 90's, and some even into the 2000's. But then they started shrinking the product, using crap ingredients, and making food that tastes almost, but not quite like, the original. Here's a good example - the new Hostess Cupcake cookies, which mimic the top part of a Hostess cupcake, but with the bottom completely encased in a chocolate coating:

Should be great, right? Well, the review in a nutshell:

There was a waxiness to it, a bit of sweetness, and an odd lack of chocolate flavor.

They've cheaped out on goodies these days in every way possible. Sure, they'll last forever on the shelf, and they taste close enough that most people won't care, but if you really want that original experience (and actually want a good-quality snack), you pretty much have to bake your own.

My first-gen Nutella Twinkie was basically chocolate cake with Nutella stuffing. For starters, I'm going to need to turn the Nutella into frosting so I can pipe it into the Twinkie more easily. I'm also debating about mixing the Nutella into the cake mix batter so it's not just chocolate, but hazelnut-chocolate. Also considering a Ferrero Rocher-style version with a chocolate coating on the outside & chopped hazelnuts sprinkled on, although Twinkies aren't really known for having a crunchy crust. Guess I'll just have to try all of the possibilities, in the name of science 😀
