What's for Dinner?

[MisterCairo]

A slice of greybread and two rollmopses.

One of these days, you'll need to post a picture of that.

Because, to be honest, the LAST thing that sounds like is "appetizing"!

Sorry, but I just don't like to post pics, permanently.

You have in the past, but if you are word-only now, I will just have to imagine these interesting sounding meals!

Filet mignon, steamed vegetables, a baked potato, biscuits, and a dinner salad with the best Ranch dressing ever, plus couple of Angry Orchards. Last night's meal was one the best I have ever had. Magical. I am a lucky man.

 

[Bushman]

Last night was steak with steak with home grown squash and home grown green beans. I love when the harvest comes in.

Shrimp and grits.

Jumbo fried shrimp tonite with French fries slathered in ketchup and Miller Lite to sustain the Cubs vs Pirates.
Baseball has a mind of its own, and yesterday's 5th inning triple play debacle when Baez hit one out and Rizzo and La Stella fell for Phil fielding,turned the game completely.

Teriyaki chicken, green beans, macaroni and cheese, and garlic bread.

Quintana follows Arrieta tonite. Pub grub pork n' potatoes, green beans, garlic bread, ice cold beer, Maker's Mark on the rocks, another strike at the bar tab.

What a coincidence! I'm having the exact same meal, but with BBQ chicken. I knew you had good taste.

As do you and quite a few other Loungers. We eat pretty nicely around here and I do enjoy reading about it.

 

[Harp]

A little late at the office tonite, catch a train after stopping at the favorite pub for oven-baked chicken with all the trimmins.

A few roast beef au jus. Very very nice.

This reminds me of, and gives me a craving for, a treat I enjoyed on a recent visit to Buffalo .... beef on weck. The roast beef is piled high on a kimmelweck roll, a bun baked covered in coarse ground salt. There is also a copious amount of fresh ground horseradish involved, and of course the au jus. A tasty treat, especially when washed down with a tall cold beer. I don't know if you can find such a thing on the west coast, but I imagine you'd be more likely to than down here. Unless I bake my own rolls (highly unlikely) and make them at home, I'll have to head back up to western NY to get one.

That said, last night for dinner I had fresh eggplant stewed with tomatoes, garlic, onion, and jalapenos, served over pasta. It also made for a tasty treat, especially when washed down with a tall cold beer.

I doubt that I could find that fabulous meal around here, but most likely south of us, in the Bay Area it would exist. It sounds to me like you might need to take a trip to Buffalo in a month or so. Food is a big part of our determining a destination when planning a vacation. Now, you got hankering for a Beef on Weck. Curses!

I love the history of Buffalo and wish the city had leveraged its early success into a more prosperous present day, but since it didn't and despite dh66's mouthwatering sandwich description, I doubt you'd feel a cross-country vacation to Buffalo - sandwich and all - the best use of one's limited vacation time and money.

If money were not an issue, I'd sure go back. There's a lot there I didn't get a chance to see but really wanted to, like Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin house. I did get to go up and see Niagara Falls, and saw some beautiful scenery driving through the Amish country up there.

The Falls - of course - are incredible and, away from the actual town of Niagara Falls itself - which does have it kitschy appeal - the scenery of the surrounding area is impressive. I stayed near a town called Niagara on the Lake which was pretty and charming in a not-manufactured way.

Tonight, pork bahn mi burgers with sambal mayo & homemade quick pickled cucumbers on toasted Kaiser rolls. Fries with cilantro mayo dipping sauce.

 

[Bamaboots]

Homemade spaghetti with the sauce made from the Roma tomatoes grown in the backyard fortified with ground beef and hot Italian sausage.

Somewhere a hipster is jealous - what is more "farm to table," or "locally sourced" than from your own backyard. You're beating them at their own game - half of Brooklyn would be weeping if they knew what you did.

Okay, I'm going to get this off my chest. There's nothing wrong with and, generally speaking, it's good to support local businesses, but all this "locally sourced," "farm to table" stuff fires me up because, one, those who say that have such a smug, self-righteous attitude (give me a break, please) and, two, what is so horrible if I, living in NYC, buy produce - say blueberries - that helps a farmer expand his or her market (and keep a roof over his or her head) from Maine (Lizzie's local market)?

Every produce item is grown locally by the farmer who grows it - where he or she sells it might not be local, but it also might allow him or her to survive. Away from the precious artisanal market and the makes-sense-cause-it-is-local normal stuff sold around a farm region - this country (no developed country) is going to feed its people - affordably - with all "locally sourced" food. It's such conspicuous consumption that it makes me want to puke. Phew, I feel better.
