So much food! Typical Loda feast. I can’t believe I like ham so much. I used to think I wasn’t a ham person, but I guess TJ’s Spiral Ham has converted me. We also tried special Easter Polish sausage from Paulina Meat Market. (Later grilled) Brussels sprouts cooked in pancetta fat and olive oil, and …

Chickpea flour pancakes
They are more dense and savory than regular flour pancakes. I just had butter on hand to put on them, but they might be good with some of Trader Joe’s Mango Chutney or Tzatziki sauce.
Je suis a pug with ennui
So wrong it’s right
French fries, ground beef, cheddar cheese. Hamburger pizza. So good. From Big G’s Pizza.
A fine, fine line
It’s a fine line between genius and madness. This is one of those cases. My friend Sam and I had a craving for nachos made out of TJ’s Cheese Crunchies. While I think the shape of Cheese Crunchies don’t really make good nacho chips, melted Mexican shredded cheese on top of them is definitely good …

Pannenkoeken Café
My friend, Tyler invited me to the Pannenkoeken Café in Lincoln Square. This Danish pancake café is very small, with only a few tables and a small kitchen, giving it a very homey feel. My pannenkoeken was absolutely perfect: Havarti cheese, sausage, on a warm, savory pancake. Tyler’s pannenkoeken had Nutella and bananas, which was …
