1 hour ago, Anna N said:Not every lunch is as successful as every other. @Kerry Beal flies off to San Francisco tomorrow and so is on a jet lag regimen today. For lunch her regimen pointed to a low calorie meal with some protein and a carb. Knowing what was on the menu at Mo’s diner and that they served an all-day breakfast we returned there.
I do love their small carafes. The black is for coffee and the white is for tea.
Kerry ordered two poached eggs with brown toast. That particular order automatically comes with their hash-browns so I suggested she get them and I would eat them. But they are terribly underseasoned so we both ended up just picking at the crispy bits.
I was not starving and thought a sandwich and some coleslaw would meet my needs. It has been very long time since I ordered a toasted Western at a restaurant and it will be a very long time before I do it again!
Sorry that we didn’t take photos before we began but you might be able to see that this was not a toasted Western sandwich but a toasted green pepper sandwich! I am sure they could not have jammed even one more dice of green pepper in there. YECH.
I managed to eat almost half of the sandwich, all of the pickle slices and barely any of the coleslaw. The coleslaw was so lacking in flavour that it was beyond redemption. Oh well!
Kerry arrived at my house with 11 gorgeous little lamb loin chops that she had found on sale and took me grocery shopping before lunch. I don’t think starvation is in my immediate future.
Gawd I HATE green peppers in my western. My Grumps (Grandfather owned a greasy spoon before I was born but he did NOT put green peppers in toasted westerns) Blasphemy I say!
Edit to add a toasted western in my life consists of: 2 eggs beaten with diced white onion , diced raw bacon, a splash of water, a splooge of worstershire, salt and pepper. That is all, no green peppers were allowed
