Top 20 Deli Meats (Cold Cuts) Rated

Image
I found a list of the top 20 cold cuts in the world. That head cheese got into this list makes me wonder what so called normal people think is good food. This is of course keyed to my tastes only and may not be how you see it. For example, Dad loved Bologna above all other cold cuts, and would fry it black and make sandwiches with tomato and Kraft sandwich spread. Sometimes the bread of toasted. On a side note, literally ONLY white bread of served to us at home as young folks and so on. The idea of eating brown bread was out of the question. BTW Mom's favorite cold cut was Olive Loaf. My perfect 10 no longer exists and it was called Onion Loaf. Nothing will ever replace Onion Loaf in my mind. 1 Turkey Breast 4/10 2 Ham 5/10 3 Roast Beef 2/10 4 Salami 7/10 5 Bologna 3/10 6 Chicken Breast 4/10 7 Prosciutto 9/10 8 Pastrami 8/10 9 Pepperoni 7/10 10 Mortadella 7/10 11 Corned Beef 4/10 12 Capicola 7/10 13 Liverwurst 6/10 14 Soppressata 8/10 15 Chorizo 6/10 16 Genoa 7/10 17 Pork Roll 2/10...

No Name Dark Roast Coffee a Review

Image
No Name Dark Roast Coffee is not the worst coffee I ever had, but It's not all that great. I was looking for coffee that would be acceptable and way less money than the Lavazza that I normally got. I use a lot of coffee in the Moka Pot, for just one mug of coffee (24oz). So I got this instead with my grocery order. The taste is slightly burnt, slightly woody, and a faint hint of nuts. There is a bitter aftertaste that lasts a hell of a long time after you drink this stuff. It also leaves your mouth feeling oily. For the price of it however, it's acceptable ($15.99 for 925g) a months supply of Lavazza was close to $40 - so it's a big saving. You do give up quality and taste for a saving. It's like most truck stop coffee. Nothing special, just something to give you a kick start. Well it did have a kick to it, I'll give it that. But the taste is not great. I honestly think I'll just drink tea from now on, as I can get a lot of tea for less money than this one bag o...

Spirituality Questions Part 1 of 4

Image
1. What does spirituality mean to you? A deep feeling of being connected to God. It is knowing that I will be going to heaven when I’m dead. Knowing that one day all my suffering will be rewarded. It is feeling the Love of God every day. It is knowing that God sends people into our lives to help us all the time. It is accepting God into your heart. 2. What did your spirit come here to do? To be kind of loving to others. To make their lives a bit better. This is why I am here and blessed with the things I have and the abilities I have. 3. What does your self-care look like outside of material things or purchasing items? It is meditating on the divine. It is listening to music that gives you joy. It’s laughing with friends. It’s watching the sun go down. 4. What does your daily self-care look like? Morning coffee ritual. A time of sharing. Meditation and music. 5. Are the desires of your soul aligned with what society/others desire for you? For those that love me and know me well, yes, i...

Mothers Day 2026 and I Deeply Miss My Mom

Image
Mom on Mothers day 2007. She did not have many years to live after this and most of them where not too good for her as she had COPD then terminal cancer. This was her last good outing and I used the photo for her online memorial. She was so happy to get the rose and to have a nice meal. It was also the last time I could have afforded to give her a nice meal and a rose - after that I lost $207 in rental subsidy and it hit me hard. I miss seeing her happy and going for coffee with her so very much. I just miss her in general. It left a big hole in my life when she passed on. When I cleaned out Moms stuff after she went into the home, I found a bunch of stuff I had made her when I was a child. I sat there and cried thinking she saved all that. It hit me hard and I felt so loved and the dread of loosing that love. I knew it was coming soon and it hurt my soul. My cousin with Mom out for coffee with us not long before Mom went in a home. She was on oxygen full time at this point in time. I ...
