Snack. We had a strange assortment of grub today.  We started out with trout, on toast, followed by a bowl of Dinty Moore’s beef stew. As far as canned products go, this wasn’t bad. It had none of the staleness that I, typically, have found in anything that came out of a can, except for seafood. By midafternoon, we were famished again and nibbled on Sahale’s Pomegranate-vanilla flavored cashews. Dinner. Linguine, with Damiano's meatballs in homemade pasta sauce. Also: a few sips of White Claw’s grapefruit-flavored spiked sparkling water. Workout. None.
