What's for Dinner?

grilled backyard barbecue burgers, typical summer food

For years in my early twenties, I ate pizza nearly every day either for lunch or dinner or both and never remember being anything but excited when I was about to take my first bite.

The only reason we don't eat it more often today is we are trying to be healthy and eat less cheese. My other go-to food, peanut butter, has had to fill the pizza void and has done quite an admirable job.

In my twenties, I thought I would wake up one morning and have morphed into the shape of a pizza slice; now, I fear I will wake up one morning looking like a jar of peanut butter. I don't have any problems eating the same food day in day out - as long as it is a simple classic - the way a lot of people seem to.

Reminds me of the scene from "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER" when Tony gets a couple slices of pizza from LENNY's and walks down the street eating his pizza

Breakfast burger with hasbrowns. That is, a hamburger with bacon and a fried egg on it.

Used to see this on menus as "chopped steak" and loved it as you'd put some chopped steak, gravy soaked mashed potatoes and onions on one fork bite and enjoy. And, if lucky, the chopped steak had some char on it which made it outstanding.

Now I almost never see it on the menu except at "old school" diners and one still-surviving, not-fancy steakhouse in my neighborhood.

Made these at home, because down here it's the same story. There's still a handful of cafeterias that have been operating for the better part of the last century that have it as an option, but most of those are only open for lunch during the work week these days. Probably because the neighborhoods they're in aren't what they used to be.

Available at my favorite pub, usually have a double helping on cold nights.
The Cubs and the Reds meet again this evening, so I'll order chops and potatoes.

I helped moved some office equipment for a friend, and we went out for pizza after. Ended up getting a BBQ pizza with BBQ sauce, chicken, roast beef, and bacon.

After last nite's Cubs vs Reds knock-down dragout slug fest, I'll be back for more. Chopped steak n' mashed I think.

Taco Night!

Taco Night!

I wouldn't complain if every night were taco night.

That being said, we had spaghetti last night.

Tuesday was tacos and last night was grilled salmon, roasted broccoli and cauliflower with 7 grain rice.

Cubs pounded the Reds last nite; hopefully, ditto again tonite. Told I need to be here in the office tomorrow to cover, warned not to go to a bar tonite.
So, I am definitely gonna go to the bar tonite and have another round of chops and potatoes, green beans, ice cold beer.

Some of the best, if greasiest, fish and chips from a Newfoundland fish and chip shop in beautiful Angus, Ontario, just outside Camp Borden (rumoured to have the highest rates of STDs in Canada, curiously the other lead candidates are also little towns just outside of military bases).

Pub grub chopped steak and baked potato, draft beer and another Cubs vs Phillies match.
Tryin' to do some handicapping tonite for Saratoga's stakes-rich Saturday card including the Sword Dancer and Travers.

Shrimp and grits. Might throw some smoked sausage in there, too, just for good measure.
