Just the holes?
Yeah, that's how they sell them in the US. Not sure what you have in the UK.

And people say Americans are wasteful. ;)
You say that, but I've just learned that what we are now doing is mushing them all together, letting them grow mouldy, then carving busby-shaped chunks off and giving them to the Brigade of Guards to wear instead of bearskins.
In other news, I have just eaten a microwaveable Rustler burger, which was just as delicious as you'd expect, and some tinned fruit.

Here's hoping the bus ride home doesn't turn into a long walk home.
Heh. Thanks.
I have some sort of chronic digestive problem that results in abrupt and urgent needs for a toilet (to the point that I can't make a 25-minute commute to work via bus because I might have to make a stop, and buses don't wait). I've identified several trigger foods (or even trigger ingredients), but despite dozens of hours of research, some medical consultations/examinations, and some super-strict dietary experimentation; I still have not reached a point where if I just do XYZ then I can be normal. I think I might just... be broken? It's like every day I have to make a couple Fort saves, and certain foods impose penalties, but I always have to roll the saves regardless, and that means sometimes I'll roll a 1.
For the rest of my life, as far as I can tell. :/

Jiggy, could that be lactose/milk intolerance? Lots of products contain lactose this days, even ones you would not connect to milk in the first place.
Dairy's already been on the trigger list for years, but thanks anyway. Also, on the topic of milk ambushes, I actually find whey to be more commonly "sneaking" into ingredient lists than lactose; I've seen it in everything from taco seasoning to fried rice to ramen.

Leftovers from a nameless dish I cooked last night after going grocery shopping at Walmart. It's kind of a soup, made with shredded beef, broccoli (both crowns, and the diced up stem), shredded carrots, diced up green bell peppers, large white mushrooms diced up, a bottle of sweet & sour sauce mixed with honey (the bee kind), peppers, and some salt. Everything is cooked at more or less the same time until everything gets nice and soft. Stirred occasionally.
I ran out of ramen noodles last night, but it goes very good over some plain white ramen noodles (cook until they get soft and springy but not mushy, then quickly drain and place into a bowl or on a plate, then douse in the soupy vege-mix).
Right now I'm eating it in a bowl while writing spells down. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite things to eat. Pondering ways to modify it, I bet if I got some beans (either crispy beans like field peas, or maybe southern jarred greenbeens from our garden) and added them that would be effective. Water chestnuts would probably go well with it too.

Just before noon, had a perfectly-ripened nectarine that was sublime.
Got hungry again (duh) at 2PM, so I dipped into the hurricane supplies for a can of tuna and made hoisin tuna salad again with onion-poppyseed hamburger bun.
Edit: Out of spicy pickles, but saving pickle juice to brine some chicken, try out this recipe.

Er, no. No, definitely not that last one. Definitely not. I have no idea where you got such a weird idea. Nope. Not a single clue. And this is certainly not a suspiciously copious and excessive denial, that's for sure.

Again.
Did you go through the gut flora medical tests? I think that having beneficial gut bacteria replaced with less benign can give symptoms similar to what you described, depending upon exact bacteria...

I've been under the impression that gut flora issues tend to be acute in nature, rather than persisting for ten years straight. Is that not the case?

Based on a hearsay that I, well, heard, not necessarily. I have no idea how accurate or inaccurate statement that was, it was from someone who was being treated for gut flora problems at that time, and I got impression that those were persistent problems, not acute, though nowhere near ten years straight. More like months, maybe a year or two.

Chicken "salad" with small leftover dinner roll and 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced. Chicken salad tasted like it was missing something.
- 1 5 oz can chunked chicken packed in water
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios
- 1-1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp citrus-ginger seasoning (this or similar)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp sriracha
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- small bunch of fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley, chopped
- salt & pepper to taste
Combine everything but chicken and pistachios in bowl, mix well, let sit at least 5-10 minutes for dried spices to re-hydrate a bit. Drain off water from chicken.* Crush pistachios well (but not completely pulverize) with meat tenderizer mallet or rolling pin. Add chicken and pistachios to bowl, mix well. Serve on split toasted English muffins or split hoagie roll.
Serves 1
* Pour chicken water over roughly-crumbled leftover biscuit or bread slice, or over 3/4 cup leftover rice. Serve to pet cats (dogs too, maybe?) as treat.

Ah. This muffin then, not the desert-y sweet muffin?
Yeah, the former muffin is a superb platform for a sandwich, especially when made of sourdough. They are great for making mini pizzas.
