Pork glut Days 1 and 2 recaps: Ignoring the issue

Day 1 finished with me chowing on leftovers at various points during the day. Nothing too enthralling, but I began to whittle down my reserves of pork ribs and other various ingredients. Day 2 began with bacon and egg on toast, but then Hannah and I went cherry picking and strawberry picking out in Brentwood. We concluded the venture with my first visit to In N Out Burger and a marathon baking session that left us with a strawberry-cherry-peach crisp and too many cherry muffin varieties to count. So now I still have a pork glut, and now a fresh fruit and baked good glut. We'll see how this plays out.

As for my thoughts on In N Out Burger -- It was good, for sure, but the style and quality of the burger necessitates a comparison to Five Guys, which this Mid-Atlantic East-Coaster thinks is actually better. The fries and In N Out were nice, and surprisingly not-greasy tasting, and the burger was presented with as much class as I've seen in fast food presentation and could be eaten without turning into a giant mess, as is so often the case with Five Guys. But somehow, a messy Five Guys burger and their greasy fries seem more satisfying than my experience at In N Out. Although they still served a fine burger.
