Thought For Food: Salad Experiment & Cutting Out Soft Drinks — IMRAN®

As a steak lover, I always joke that "salad is what my food eats." Over the years, though, I've learned to appreciate my veggies. Sometimes I'll build my own mix by starting with a grocery‑store base and then adding whatever inspires me.

Today's combination: a regular salad topped with cubed chicken breast, chopped onions, bell peppers, diced dried apricots, raisins, olives, cheeses, guacamole, salsa, and a spicy dressing. I even tried adding prunes for the first time — too squishy to slice, but an interesting experiment.

And yes, that is a real‑sugar Pepsi Soda Shop can. I love the stuff, but thanks to the price gouging by food and grocery companies — with affordability clearly not a priority for the current regime — I'm done buying sodas. It's ridiculous that 12‑packs that used to cost $4–6 now routinely run around $12. That's basically the same $1‑per‑can we used to pay at a mall vending machine.

Tampa Bay Suburban Trans-Siberian Tundra Day Transformation (Part 3) - IMRAN®

… and this is what Sunday morning's dog‑walk turned into. I had literally kept this brand‑new, never‑used jacket here in Florida just in case I ever needed to dash up to New York in truly frigid weather. I had no idea I'd end up needing it right here on Tampa Bay — in February — as Florida decided to cosplay as the Trans‑Siberian tundra.

Blurry Image But Sharp Memories - IMRAN®

As my DJI Phantom 4 settled from a winter's‑day flight on February 25, 2023, it somehow captured this blurry frame. K2 had just turned three a week earlier — the same week marking four years since Kennedy arrived at his forever home.

A year later, this moment would become even more poignant. Kennedy — on the left, eyes fixed on the descending drone — would have to say goodbye because of an inoperable tumor.

The image may be soft, but the memories remain crystal clear. Kennedy, the Best Dog Ever, taught Best Puppy Ever K2 so much… lessons K2 still carries forward every single day.

I also have to say I'm highly unimpressed by the expensive, CPU‑intensive Topaz Labs Photo app — which I own and used both directly and through Photoshop's Partner Filters. I invested in their suite hoping it would help salvage images from older, primitive digital cameras, but it has consistently fallen short.

In this case, it did absolutely nothing to improve focus on my part of the image; in fact, it made it much worse, as you can see in the pixelation of my hand and the drone controller.
