The defibrillator post

This is called the defibrillator post because we're all going to need a defibrillator, considering the way we ate this summer.

Of course the photos skew reality.  I didn't record all the 1% milk, carrot sticks and whole grain bread we consumed.  Calorie-dense food is more photogenic, what with all the undulating layers of meat, glistening melted cheese and technicolor hues manufactured in laboratories.

I'll start with the sweets:





Now for the savory.


Note to self: Never again make your child eat the whole gigantic corn dog because it cost ten dollars.  This is not an economic issue.

I have no regrets about this next food foray.  After visiting the Ann Arbor vicinity many times, I finally got to Zingerman's Deli.  The Spouse and I ordered our  favorite sandwiches - he a riff on the Ruben, and I a muffuletta.


The Spouse, looking for his corned beef to come.


The Spouse, scowling because I made him pause before eating so I could photograph the corned beef.


My muffuletta, with peach/jalapeno salad.


R, hot dog and giant pickle.
 
 
J's hot dog smothered in artisanal cheese.
