Haven't been there in over a year.

In the ALP I have meals, and snacks; but I can skip some and eat some other stuff (not much bc $). We also can book time to cook in a modest kitchen in the Activities room. I do plan to at some point; don't laugh my first easy meal will be extra sharp cheddar grilled cheese! Though I wonder what a grilled provolone sandwich would be like? Then a special cold lentil salad.

Anyway, I saved up a bit. I plan to get provolone, and their pretzel bread! Two good tomatoes.

Blue cheese dressing, and the long sesamee covered crackers who's name I've forgotten to put it on. Ha. I can almost see the packaging yellow and turquoise w crackers photo.

Their chocolate granola! Maybe their freeze dried raspberries to add to the granola. The dark chocolate covered almonds.

Yuuuum! 😄👍🥰
