What's for dinner?

[Sunspots]

A Greek grill house has just opened in the local town so we got chicken pitta gyros takeout followed by kataifi. Not quite as good as in Greece but not far off

A "Roots bowl" with rice, spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, red onions, pita chips, goat cheese, dried cranberries, lemon tahini dressing, and a splash of red wine vinegar.

There should be a special delicious emoji

 

[Lane]

Meat and potato soup, made it last night for today and leftovers through the rest of the week.

I eat leftovers a lot, especially since the pandemic

 

[Lane]

Soup with pad thai noodles, bok choy & shrimp.

So, I tried a ‘new’ (to me) pfchanf’s - they were all out of the Mongolian beef — basterds, how dare they? ; ) And even the chix fried rice - which, I thought.. I can t possibly screw up again, can I (I think I can...) : then there was the completely oblivious stock girl with her cart the size of the freezers , filling the half decimated American Asian frozen food section (or is it Asian American? / I feel like I should know this, but , on to more important matters...) I look for the Arby’s frozen curly fries: gonzo!!! ( : turn around & there’s another section with smaller portion sized pf Chang s!! Now I see a whole bunch of thugs that most are familiar with (but not me, you see); low mein, what the heck is it, exactly ~~ hunch Of other stuff people always order that I ignore when dining out. . . The.n I see somethjnf called, “Korean - Inspired Pork something or other (I already tossed the box.. & I can t be knacked) ; “ so... I give it a go! And then: I get it all set up (bust out the fry pan and canola oil), I see its designed for the microwave ! Something I’ve rarely used in the past 5 years - it primarily serves as a perch for whuch my cat can sit and stare out the window at the birds going berserk in the trees... I was half tempted to cook it properly or normally - the standard way, anyway-/but instead,!8! I was feeling dare I say daring—very daring (instructors say put it in microwave and turn on for 4-5 min’s... & here’s what sealed the deal: no need to vent!) // so I commenced, and let me say, I t was like Uma in Pulp when she goes, “god damn , god damn , god damb !!!” I don’t think I’ve ever had somethjnf si good from the flavor vaporizer. Anyway, you learn something new every day! What was this section again? Something to do with music I trust. : )

I was just reading a book by Carl Hiassen, funny...and his main character cooked a snake in canola oil. Where does this come from @MisterBGone? I even have some in my cupboard and am ashamed that I don't know...is there a canola nut, a fruit...google?

 

[MisterBGone]

You know, I don’t really know @Lane — I was fixing to prepare something else from the Philippines recently (they had made it), and I told them I was going to use olive oil (like I always do). And they said, to “not do that... use canola!” : ) ...& so I did-

Makes sense to me

Pierogies with onions and mushrooms.

 

[MisterBGone]

Yeah I was looking all around for that kind that Tiffany bad tried—but I could find it, and then I realize d u didn’t know exactly what it even was - exactly. . . A brand? A restaurant? A kind/or/type of chicken - is like that China panda 🐼 place or wharecer it’s called ? China express? You see pop up all over in malls and not - I’ve never been... but to some - it is like crack... yes, exactly that!!

 

[MisterBGone]

Pierogies with onions and mushrooms.

Don’t know what any of those things are in that sentence.?. :^)

 

[MisterBGone]

I think I’ve heard of a “shroom!” But I’ve never tried it. . ; )

I’ve heard you pronounce those with an “H,” (gyros!); though, it’s all ‘Greek,’ to me! ( :

 

[MisterBGone]

Two Scoops of Raisins—from my box of Raisin Brand: (not that I’ve got anything against bran flakes!)! Plus a spoonful of sugar! Consequently, I’m reminded of a story Johnny depp told years ago about marlon Brando, whom he must’ve worked on with some film - was it island of dr Moreau? No that was wal Kilmer ... (anyway, apparently marlon would ring him up in the middle of the night : 3, 4 IU the a.m. & this was in the days before caller i.d. - go, “Johnny!!!! It’s Marlon Bran Flakes!!! “ oh god I love that, but I am so easily & wffottlesst amused. Or so it seeens. Who cares! If you disagree? You are not me - who made you IING OF ANYTHJNG. O o O ooo oOo OOO la da ladadah!

I’ll have what he’s having ..”

I learned a love of Greek food when young. We had one long and many years ago started by a Greek family in these parts. My mom was in the restaurant business when I was about 10 and knew the owner. There used to be an USAF base here and now a technical college and when it closed he hired the servers from the officer's club to work for him, they never wrote down an order and never got an order wrong. My favorite was a combination of saganaki and keftedes, those were appetizers but pair them up and with a salad for a full meal.

Coconut shrimp, a scallop appetizer, and veggie sushi.

I love keftedes, soutzoukakia are really good too. Man, I miss Greece.
