Now that sounds like some good eats!

The Doritos Tacos or the Lava taco. I have the Doritos with the lava sauce on it.

I think there's a subway a couple miles from here. Otherwise, I gotta go about 15 miles for any fast food.

 

[splintercellsz]

That bites!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Yeah, but it's the price you pay to be away from the city.

That bites!

 

[splintercellsz]

I wish I didn't live in a city, to be honest... but then I second guess it. Each have their own Pros & Cons!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I've done both, and just can't do the city life, even though the options for dining sure would be better!

Hah! I have never lived outside a city, if Reno could be called that! I am more in the outskirts area, so not that many people, maybe 10k, but still a lot of beings roam these parts. What's it like in a smaller town?

 

[AtomicEraTom]

It's nice. I'm in a village of 2,000 people. The nearest big town is about 10,000 people. It's quiet, peaceful, and the loudest noises are the bar patrons on Friday/Saturday nights, the air-raid siren at noon, and the clip-clopping of horses pulling Amish buggies.

Sounds, different, yet fun.

Would it be worth it to buy a certain amount of FF sandwiches, and freeze them?
Then you could thaw them out and heat them up via the microwave when you want them.
That way you only drive 15 miles once a week.

We are hoping to move in the next few years to a small town in the Blue Ridge Mountains in SW Virginia to a town that has a population of about 1,500. Such a nice quiet place and friendly people. We are tired of the whole northeast hustle bustle, expensive living, high taxes, and rude people.

We are having boneless pork chops for dinner with fresh salad. I have not decide yet how to prepare them.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I gotta drive the 15 miles anyhow. Well, about 12. I work on the side of the city closest to home.

I decided to marinate the pork chops in olive oil Italian spices and fresh rosemary from the garden. It should be good.

No garlic?

 

[Auld Edwardian]

No garlic?

My goodness gracious! It is almost impossible to cook without garlic! Yes garlic was one of the spices used. I'd sooner drink Thunderbird than cook without it. And I have yet to drink that stuff, and the chance somewhere better a razor thin chance and nill.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Fried Catfish tonight, with fries. Saturday night is usually some cut of steak, to celebrate the weekend, but I forgot charcoal at the store.
Catfish by default.

I've never marinated with an oil for the base liquid. Do the flavours get into the meat?

I can't say for the young man but I do know that I use a marinade that uses salad oil in it and it gets into the meat. Then again, I also use wine, lemon juice and vinegar too.
