I don't get political over here often. But I guess

I don't get political over here often. But I guess it's a good time to get started. This year I'll probably be more so than in the past.
Black Lives Matter. End Racism. Stop Hate Speech. Fix the system. It's so disheartening to see the same systematic hatred and injustice over and over and nothing changing. Even though I didn't take part in a protest this weekend, it was great to see so many people come together for a righteous cause. Protest is a great way to get a message heard. If you are mad people are protesting and not why they are protesting then you are not respectful of their purpose. It was unfortunate to see a small group hijack peaceful protests that had been going so well just for their separate goal of chaos.
I struggle to know what to say because I have not directly experienced racism in the way many others do regularly. I've experienced antisemitism. Although similar on some levels, not the same. I've definitely been around people who have experienced racism in ways of being denied entry to an establishment or questioned unnecessarily or suspiciously watched for only the color of their skin.
I'm not going to try to tell people what they can do or what resources to review to know how to do better and be anti-racist. There are so many people who can say those things so much better. Social media is flooded with people right now who can direct you better. If you feel I misstated something in this brief statement, tell me and I'll do my best to correct it. I know there is much more to learn.
Two things I will encourage because I feel comfortable telling people to do correctly. First is fill out your census. This helps your community get funding for services and representation. Second is to vote. A great way to get government to listen to those fighting for change is to replace the people who don't want change or don't acknowledge a problem. Have people represent you in government who listen to their constituents and share the same morals. Primaries in PA are tomorrow if you haven't already voted by mail. The general election in November is obviously a big one. If you are not registered to vote, do it before the deadline. - Alex

Happy #NationalBurgerDay! I swear there's like a hundred different burger holidays. I'm not complaining. Any excuse to eat a burger I'll take it.

That was my dinner tonight. That's all. No clever or insightful caption. I'm totally just phoning it in this time on the posting.

I decided to enter the @beardfoundation x @bonappetitmag #BlendedBurgerContest again this year. A blended burger needs to contain 25% mushroom in the mix. The idea is to make burgers more sustainable. This burger is topped with pepperoni, mozzarella, mushrooms, onions and sauteed tomatoes. Last year although I wasn't deemed a winner I received a cool kitchen apron. This year I went with a pizza themed burger. You can see both my recipes on my website. I just posted the new one now.

So I tried two different things yesterday. First I tried out that viral French Toast Omelette Sandwich. It was a cool hack to have both great brunch items in one. It did like getting the flavors and texture of French Toast with the cheese and bacon of an omelette. However, for the amount of time it takes to make one sandwich I don't think I'll be making these often. Second, as you can see, I'm starting to play with video. I need a lot more practice. So what do you all think? Should I keep doing more videos? #AlexEatsTooMuch

Last night I finally got to try the @bluesparrowpgh Chorizo Queso Burrito. This thing is amazing. First let's talk about how it's loaded with chorizo and fried potatoes. I love that. Then there's just that egg just perfectly set in the middle. Then there's that crema to bring all the flavors together. This burrito, just like most things I've eaten from Blue Sparrow lives up to the hype. I also replenished my beer supply last night.

Seriously, you all must be like WTF is Alex posting right now. A salad!?!?! Yep. I know. I hate it too. I really don't like salads. But you know what? I actually eat them for lunch more than you would think. Why? Because it's a great way to balance and add more vegetables to the diet. I'll never like salads. No one will ever convince me to truly like a salad. Don't even try.

I saw @burgatorybar had been running a bunch of deals on Instagram and one of them last week was for the Morty's Steakhouse burger with Horseradish Cheddar, Caramelized Onions & Haystack Onions. It had been so long since so got a burger from Burgatory I had actually forgotten how much I like them. Sometimes being impulsive with meals definitely pays off.

No guarantees it lasts long though. This weekend I realized it was time to start mixing in more veggies and less red meat and fried food into my stay at home diet. I started tonight with some grilled salmon and zucchini. I might even attempt a salad or two. Crazy times call for crazy actions.

I just stuffed my face with these sweet new @jennyleeswirlbread Small Batch Sticky Buns for brunch. They sent me some of them to try and they make a great easy breakfast. These are so easy to make as each one is individually packaged in a compostable container. It just goes in the microwave and the syrup melts overtop. So, of course I made myself 3 to devour. These are available at Shop 'n Save and on the Jenny Lee website.
