If I want it thicker like Greek-style, I just strain it. I make my own and add whatever I want to it: honey, fruit or homemade lemon curd…whatever.

Yogurt and a V8 and off I go. I have always loved yogurt though, the Greek really has the texture and that extra bit of tang that really makes it better to me. I would like to take this time to offer a PSA regarding the Chobani passion fruit yogurt. It includes the passion fruit seeds, which may sound like its a nice crunchy element like granola, instead it just seems weird. I east the flavored Greek yogurt 4-5 days a week for breakfast.

I was surprised decades ago when back home during leave from the Navy. I told the Old Man I was taking him to the nearby large town/small city for the heck of it. We took his Datsun pick-up, the first year of the Lil Hustler 1972-1/2 model year, and he was mighty proud of it. For the record, we were not much above the working-poor class socio-economic level... at the time the vast majority of the dregs of USA society who had entered the military after the end of the draft in Jan. 1972. Anyway... we stopped and entered a walk-in movie theater, a rarity for the family who, as I grew up, always went to the drive-in for whatever reason(s). I paid the way in. Then, afterwards, off to McDonalds... where I told him to order whatever he wanted. I do not remember us ever eating at McD's as a family unit. We were a rather frugal family, forced upon us to a certain extent by economics. He ordered a Big Mac, fries and a drink. Me too. As we ate sitting inside he mentioned how good those Big Macs are. After that we drove around the town a bit just looking at things then returned the 20 miles to the small agricultural hamlet. The Old Man was tickled. He died not long thereafter. McDonalds made him happy. Every once in awhile, with long periods between... real long... I grab a Big Mac though their cost-efficiency is nil.... way overpriced for what the eater receives, in my opinion... and eat the dern' thing in his memory. And life goes on..... Familiarity does not always lead to contempt.

As a kid we loved those fried apple and cherry pies. Remember the cherry ones? And the crispy, warm outer shell before they came up with the baked ones? There was nothing better to do on a hot day than head to McDonald's for a cheap ice cream cone. I also have to go with good ol’ Mickey D’s. As a kid we loved those fried apple and cherry pies.
