In the last several hours, I have (as is rarely the case) had a good, big breakfast + dinner.

I feel great.

...as is rarely the case. So - what have I consumed, to put this diamond-in-the-rough smile on my dial? For once, no junk. No crap. No chips, no lollies, no chocolate bars, no Great White Bread. No shark either - but indeed, some fantastic fish.
