If it comes to that, Trader Joes has a reasonably good selection with reasonable prices. I used Instacart once. They got me two pears as big as my head. So I wouldn't advise using them for produce, but standardized, off the shelf items are probably ok. If you haven't used them before they do have some introductory discounts, but they charge you for their services. I'm pretty sure TJs doesn't deliver.
I'm having the usual cream scones with new citrus marmalades. They both turned out well.

Basic turkey sandwiches for dinner, just bread, lunch meat, swiss, onion, shreddice, mayo and mustard, salt and pep.
Normally I'd have sliced tomato on it, but I'm trying to give tomats a break for a bit. Recently had pizza kick my ass with heartburn so I want to apologize to mister stomach.
Honestly, the simple things in life are often the best. Working in the deli only really changed up my sandwich layer choices, and that's about fighting the soggy.
Weird question, but do you have a mandoline you'd recommend? All the ones I look at are that flimsy plastic poo with a razor molded in, and I don't want to risk my hands on one of those pieces of poo.
Looking for a personal rec instead of something off amazon.

I don't own a mandoline. I have some good sharp knives and when I have tons of slicing to do, like with segments of citrus with rind for marmalade, I cram stuff in a food processor with a slicer blade but it's not fine enough for what you probably want to do with it. We mostly buy presliced lunchmeat so that's not an issue. Everything else we just cut up by hand.
I'd stay away from the cheaper models of mandolines. Sometimes America's test kitchens rate them and that might be a good guide. I'd also check craigslist as sometimes people buy them decide they don't want to use them and then get rid of them for free or lots less than the usual retail price.

For some reason, large dairy companies like Yoplait (General Mills) and Noosa, have decided that the more weird additives and sweeteners you put into yogurt the more people will like it. Today I got Noosa Delights Key Lime Pie to eat after dinner and it was just sad. Why don't they just make yogurt? This was a pale ghost of key lime with some kind of weird custardy binder that didn't work. Ick. It was on a promotion so I thought I'd take a chance. But it was a total fail.

Jalepeno poppers.
Turns out mom didn't wipe down the toaster oven tray this morning, so I got to hear the smoke alarm.
Honestly, I should have checked it myself, but I checked it last night!
The Jalepeno poppers were a winner, and might go into regular rotation. They're such a low fuss, high calorie option. And no tomato!
