13. Mushrooms, with tarragon, thyme, and butter (and salt and pepper)

Just great together.

And I don't even like mushrooms.

And, lest it seem weird, I like to put watermelon chunks in salads. It serves as a totally flavorful and yet totally low-fat/low-carb dressing. And I like to sprinkle in caraway seeds for that unexpected taste. Totally healthy, totally yum.

Last night for supper we had bacon egg and cheese sandwiches on whole grain toast, and several varieties of hot sauce available on the side for the hubby. He freely admitted to waking up with the feeling of battery acid in his throat at 0100 hours. - I TOLD him to take a Zantac before he went to bed. Course, cause I TOLD him to do that, he naturally did not. (Yeah, I married a passive agressive monster)
