Satisfaction

There is something so satisfying about batting a ball against a paddle.

Passing a playground  where there’s a person making a practice hit against the wall makes me smile. Thwack.

Pickleball with a side order of ping pong is the current rage. Recreational as well as spectator tennis is always in vogue, too.

In my heyday, I enjoyed applying a forceful racquet to a small ball for the sake of running the court. Occasionally, I had a lunchtime opponent, but generally, this was a solo exertion.

Thwack. Slam.

Fries with that?

My cheeseburger didn’t last long enough for me to take its portrait.

This was also the case last week when I ordered the Beyond. As non-meat meat goes, Beyond captures the texture and quality of its beef counterpart. I find that true of the sausage version I get as a breakfast sammy, too.

Today’s cheeseburger was a treat via the BurgerFi app. Completely free and I was treated royally at my location on 2nd & 82nd.

Can’t cook?

What food would you say is your specialty?

Living in New York City, we are exposed to such great variety of the edible and delectable.

Different cultures have merged into a melted pot of flavors. Many of them are surprising. Lots of them prove tantalizing.

An inability to produce a decent meal on my part is saved by the phone. “Hi, I am calling for a delivery please.”
