    Grilled ribeye.  Not pictured, mac and cheese, summer squash, big salad.  Headed back to the Cape in a few hours, so lots of seafood in my future.

  2. course I'm also the dope who posted many years ago about the food in "gentlemen's clubs" that Bourdain assured us his friends raised their own beef so the food was of the highest order..... Kim WB was shocked that this librarian had posted that !!!!  Hey, research.

    Mrs Meshugana was making meatloaf a couple nights ago, so I offered to smoke it. Truly loving my Green Mountain Grills pellet smoker with WiFi control...

     

    Dinner was outstanding. She made gravy with the drippings. 
     

    For lunch the next day, sliced and fried the meatloaf in butter and made open faced sandwiches. 
     

    Btw - it feels good to be back!

    Not only in malls - plenty of freestanding ones, including in Times Square (which, back then, wasn't yet a mall).

    It's been around since the 1920s!

     

     

     

     

    sorry, country girl here.  never saw a McDonalds until the early 1970's and that was 30+ miles away.  First saw an Orange Julius when we moved to Morris County NJ in 1983 and there was one in the Rockaway Mall.

  6. Host's note: this topic was split from the Strawberries topic.

    I love fruit milks, I had thin milk based shakes many times but only really "discovered" their potential in Taiwan. Amazing papaya milk, melon milk, weird but memorable orange milk, and also strawberry milk. And for some reason asparagus juice...

    Orange milk?

    Orange Julius?

    At almost 66 years of age I am craving everything strawberry.....

  7. two slices of cold plain pie(pizza). 

    I ordered a personal pie and a piece of lasagna from a local place yesterday so I will have some food in the fridge for the next few days to eat on as well as the salad greens and baked chicken breasts to work with.  When it gets hot I have a problem eating but cold pizza and lasagna and chicken salad  or Cobb salad .... no problem.

  8. Nothing like y'all.  I have Thai and sweet basil going well.  The tarragon and thyme and flat leaf parsley are thriving.  John's cherry tomatoes have a bit of fruit on them and he has been carefully trimming leaves so he gets the most fruit with the best ratio of fruit to leaves.  Engineers!

    Received 2 mail orders this morning and used them to make breakfast.  Three kinds of grits and Charleston Gold rice from Geechie Boy Mill:

    Red Weapons from Vivian Howard's Handy & Hot:

    That jar of spicy tomatoes was a seriously ridiculous splurge which I only justified after doing my taxes and ensuring my finances are in order.  The recipe will be in Vivian's new book coming out in October and I wanted to treat myself to a preview of coming attractions. 

    The little booklet contains a bunch of suggestions for using them.

    Breakfast was Jimmy Red grits with Red Weapons and a boiled egg:

  10. John is supposed to go north next week (his symptoms are gradually abating).  Must add "college cheese" what his grandmother called it and some tinned peaches-not quite time for them up here - to the shopping list.  On a hot morning I can think of nothing more refreshing than a small bowl.

  11. John eats mainly gluten free and I've made salads with gluten free noodles.  He doesn't care for the ones that are corn based but will eat something like Barilla's elbows that are a rice and corn mix.  I also use pad Thai noodles or similar bean thread ones for Asian dressed salads.  I also have started using chickpea or red lentil pastas dressed with vinaigrette.

    So they were out of real ice cream and potato chips?

     

    Nah.  John is lactose intolerant and fat triggers his IBS.

    Though I did forget to get him his pierogies and potstickers. He will eat a package of potstickers through the evening as a snack until he goes to bed about 530 am.

    Usually this Shoprite's produce is pretty good.  But indeed there were no limes again today.  I had to make do with Haagen-Dazs and Cape Cod potato chips.

     

    had limes up here in Wharton to spare.  Got John  reduced fat Cape Cod chips and dairy free Haagen Dazs (digital coupon).

  15. made sushi rice this morning early.  

    john just got back from a canceled dental appointment and wanted something to eat.  

    Shallot, green onions, rice, peas, hoisin and oyster sauce.   roasted shrimp, eggs in jet tila's gold over silver style.   low sodium soy, sesame oil and the green tops of the green onions.  he seems happy and it doesn't seem to bother his mouth right now.
