In the 1970s, my hometown had a restaurant that featured broasted chicken.  I remember it being good, as in crispy and moist,  but less tasty than KFC.

Here in Utah, Taco Bell is highly suspect because they get their lettuce from Mexico.  

For a long time I liked to eat salads.  But lettuce doesn't keep very long and now I am highly suspicious of things like that.

I eat Roma tomatoes for the higher lycopene content.

I have concluded that a moderate amount of chips with salsa is healthy, and a good substitute for salads.  The high fiber is filling and helps with appetite. 

Tortilla chips are high in resistant starch, which is linked to some health benefits.

Google AI says...

Yes, lycopene is highly beneficial. It is a potent antioxidant found in red foods like tomatoes, watermelon, and pink grapefruit. It protects your cells from oxidative stress and is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, prostate cancer, and strokes. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

For maximum benefit, consider these key details:

Better with fat: Lycopene is fat-soluble. Eating lycopene-rich foods with healthy fats (like cooking tomatoes in olive oil or eating them with avocado) boosts your body's absorption by up to 4.4 times. [1, 2, 3]
Better when cooked: Heating and processing tomatoes (e.g., in tomato paste, sauce, or salsa) actually makes lycopene more bioavailable than eating them raw. [1]

Yes, salsa contains lycopene. Because tomatoes are the primary ingredient in traditional red salsa, the condiment is packed with this powerful antioxidant. Lycopene is linked to reduced inflammation, better heart health, and a lower risk of certain cancers. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The bioavailability of lycopene actually improves when tomatoes are cooked, processed, or mixed with a little fat (like avocado), making this flavorful condiment an excellent way to boost your daily nutrient intake. [1, 2, 3]

Yes, resistant starch is highly beneficial. It bypasses small intestine digestion, reaching the colon intact to feed beneficial gut bacteria. This produces short-chain fatty acids (like butyrate) that improve gut health, stabilize blood sugar, increase satiety, and support heart health. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Key benefits of resistant starch include:

Blood Sugar Control: Because it resists digestion, it does not cause blood sugar spikes. Some research indicates it can also increase insulin sensitivity. [1, 2]
Gut Health & Digestion: It acts as a prebiotic, nourishing your microbiome and protecting the lining of the colon, which may lower the risk of colorectal cancer. [1, 2]
Weight Management: By fueling the production of satiety hormones like GLP-1, it helps you feel full longer. [1]

You can naturally incorporate resistant starch into your diet by eating legumes, seeds, unripe (green) bananas, and whole grains. Additionally, cooking and subsequently cooling starchy carbohydrates (like rice, pasta, and potatoes) turns them into resistant starches. [1, 2]

Yes, corn tortillas contain resistant starch. The traditional process of making them—called nixtamalization, where corn is soaked in an alkaline lime solution—alters the starch and naturally increases resistant starch. [1, 2, 3]

You can boost the resistant starch content even further by cooking and cooling them (e.g., storing them in the fridge), which causes the starches to crystallize and become more resistant to digestion. For example, fresh corn tortillas might contain roughly 2.6 g of resistant starch, but this can increase to over 3.5 g after being chilled in the refrigerator. [1, 2, 3]

Reducing the Risk From Arsenic in Rice - Consumer Reports

Our team tested three cooking methods ... 

...adding rice to boiling water, cooking 5 minutes, and then draining the rice and cooking it in fresh water—known as the parboiling and absorption method..

...the parboiling and absorption method reduced the inorganic arsenic content in short- and long-grain brown and white rice by 50 and 58 percent, respectively. This could be a very effective strategy for families looking to reduce arsenic exposure while still eating rice. “In some cultures, people already prepare rice this way, and it appears to have a protective effect,”

Akinleye says. There is also data from other studies indicating that cooking rice like pasta and discarding the excess water can remove between 40 and 60 percent of the arsenic in rice, according to the FDA.

https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-contaminants/arsenic-in-rice-reducing-risk-a8972350937/

Based on this, I think that the boil-in-the-bag method might be the easiest and still helpful.

I haven't cooked rice for years.  However, I order Chinese food 2 to 4 times per month.

I own a small rice cooker that I haven't used.

100 Year old Lobster!

In jurisdictions like Maine, harvesters are required by law to throw back both undersized and oversized lobsters.  The large lobsters are more fertile and help sustain the population.  Also, the meat is tougher.

For everyone else wondering: No the lobster is not dead, he's just old as hell and when you're old moving is hard but he is alive. His eyes legs and even antennae move in this video he is alive.

fun fact: when lobsters get this old they don’t die of “old age” like humans do, their telomeres don’t wear down like humans so they can’t age to death. instead they get so massive (like this distinguished gentleman) that when they molt out of their shell it gets progressively more and more difficult, until they die in the process. that’s why he said he probably has only a couple years left, he’s reaching the limit of manageable size

Don’t judge me. I have not eaten a Big Mac in years. A friend called. She was going through McDonald’s & did I want anything. A Big Mac! She called me this morning & asked about how it was. HORRIBLE! No taste, the burger had no taste…was it even meat? It had been slapped together & fell apart when I tried to pick it up. YIKES! Hers was the same. It has been about 5 years since my last one. If we can’t trust McDonald’s who can we trust? 😕

I really like Whoppers.   They can be inconsistent.  Usually they are perfect, but sometimes they can be a little burnt or dry.

Burger King has really good discounts with coupons, but they haven't sent them out for a long time.  In drive thru you can give them the coupon code, and at least on National Road they won't ask for the coupon.  The coupon code 6904 gets a large Whopper meal for $8.01 with tax, which is at least a $3 discount.  They charge extra for substitutions, like asking for BBQ sauce or coffee to drink.  (They used to do substitutions for free.)

If they ask for the physical coupon, tell them it blew away.

The Burger King app also has discount offers, although not quite as good as this coupon.

The Arby's app will have a buy-one-get-one-free special a couple of times per month.  I think that the Turkey Bacon Ranch is the best sandwich ever.  (After ordering with the app, they will offer you a promotion, like a free month of Apple TV.)

The Gyro at Arby's is okay, but the meat is a big disappointment compared to actual Greek restaurants.  I plan to try that new Gyro restaurant on Middle Road.
