The Chile trip is both business and pleasure. I can work remotely so I took a week off in Patagonia, worked in Valparaiso, took a week off at a beach town plus 3 days in the desert; then I work next week in Santiago (going there tomorrow). Then back home. It’s been an amazing time in a beautiful country

I loved Valpo. It was a major stopping point for ships that went around Cape Horn prior to the opening of the Panama Canal, but after that it went from metropolis to forgotten pretty soon. The town sort of stopped developing for a century so its like stepping to the 1910s and the architecture is a time capsule from that period (at least along the waterfront). Chile is a gorgeous (and safe) country---good food, excellent wine, lovely people. Highly recommend.

I had a honey turkey and cheese sandwich, but it tasted off, I had opened a new bottle of Mayo this morning, but it was in the pantry , can that go off? It was probably sitting there unopened for a few months at most

If the seal under the cap wasn't broken and it was within the freshness date on the label, it should be ok.
Think of how long those jars stay on supermarket shelves, unrefrigerated, until sold.

[The Hot Corner]

Pastrami and Swiss on lightly toasted seeded rye w/ mustard, Sugar free Strawberry Cheesecake Greek Yogurt, and Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Pudding.

Right? I checked the expiration and it's good, I actually think the lunch box itself was the cause of the smell, it had been sitting there and I don't think I cleaned it

Leftovers.

Right, yeah they're red beans not kidney beans. I like Zatarain’s stuff.

Me too!

[MFS62]

Extended lunch today.
Power is down at the home office and I have no computer or phone access.
So, I'll have plenty of time to eat my tuna melt.

Later

BBQ chicken sandwich, tomato soup, delicious

[batmagadanleadoff]

Turkey sandwich on italian bread with a sweet potato and sour cream. My supermarket had leftover Thanksgiving turkeys. I'd gone food shopping a few times since Thanksgiving and by the third time, I couldn't resist those turkeys. They were practically being given away. I bought one for less than six dollars and had myself a second Thanksgiving dinner.
