What are you eating right now?

Looks like a feast! Which dish has the hoppers?
Jd, yes it was a feast, and as a platter would empty, a platter with new items would be replaced. Not my style nor desire, but a very stunning meal.

What the meal doesn't show is the locally produced whiskey. Wow can these boys drink. I had to come up with a reason to excuse myself and leave after five hours of non stop drinking ( not by me). Hosts were as kind, humble, gracious, and fun as they come.
 
Breakfast: Kenyan coffee, freshly-made carrot-orange juice,
crisp-toasted English muffins with homemade habanero-peach jam.

I had some curry chicken salad and zuch this AM

Hydration water (Potassium citrate in RO well water!)
Matcha tea
Chocolate coffee, half-half slightly sweetened with date syrup

No pics!

Headed out for 2-3 hours of pickleball, just like yesterday. It was super sweaty even in the early AM. Complete with mosquitoes.

Why date syrup? I recognize that the syrup may be convenient and easy to use for certain items, but doesn't date syrup contain sugar, which it seems you're trying to reduce in your diet? I just checked and it seems that some date syrup brands don't contain added sugar.

FWIW, I sometimes use whole, dried Medjool dates to sweeten almond milk. I just drop a date or two into the blender with the other ingredients.

Dates are a pretty cool sweetener.

Dates have been shown (thanks @vavavroom ) to actually lower blood sugar. This stuff is pure dates, and I also ran out of date powder which is a bit harder to find, but is such a light sweetener the wife values it as not sweet! (but naturally has more roughage)

Yes, I also have used whole dates, which my wife values as sweet. :D(y)
 
Julia Child's Tuna Sandwich
Yesterday was Julia Child's birthday. This morning I enjoyed her well-known tuna sandwich, open-faced on an English muffin. Best Foods mayo, cornichons and capers (Julia generally used one or the other), a bit of sliced onion, green heirloom tomato, some lettuce leaves, a squirt of fresh lemon, and a generous sprinkle of white pepper. The muffin was toasted, of course.

Your pics are so nice. Oddly when I click on them, they shrink rather than enlarge (sad face)
