What's for Dinner?

What makes Mike's any more significant than any other deli on Aurthur Ave or Little Italy in Manhattan?

What makes the pyramids any more significant than a pile of rocks................

See.... now I love scallops, but they have to be cooked right

A chef friend once confided the secret of preparing scallops was not to cook them but to just threaten them with heat.

See.... now I love scallops, but they have to be cooked right and the grit needs to be washed off.

I find they taste like gristle of the sea
even if cooked so tenderly.

The only thing I like a little gritty is fried crispy mush with maple syrup. I haven't had that since a little lad down home on the farm. Loved it..!

Kind of like how to treat men

I've never had mush.... is it like grits or cream of wheat?

I think it is corn meal fried in a skillet like a pancake. I suppose it could be served like grits or cream of wheat in a bowl.

I love smoked oysters. One of my favorite treats!

I like both as well but I like smoked oysters the best.

I can't find chocolate in my neck of the woods. Everyone likes the way the cherry makes the house smell, so cherry it is lol

I figured but cherry? lol Chocolate mint is the farthest I go out on the flavored tobacco limb.

For many many years, PBR was the top, or near top seller in the US. I think the decline began somewhere around 1978, if memory serves me. I think Lone Star and Jax are still mostly regional. We special order it. Nobody carries it in these parts.

When I first started drinking beer (1960s) PBR was quite popular. I drank it for years. While in the Army staioned in Lousiana(1971)..we drank Lone Star..Pearl..and Jax brands. I think at the time they were regional brands. Now I've aquired a taste for Sam Adams. For me their seasonal flavors on tap are a safe bet when ordering out. Plus their bottle beer aint bad.

My buddies and I go out and buy a bunch of micro brews now and then. I find a few I like, but most I just don't care for. Nothing seems to beat the working man's brew for me.

You're a lucky man. While I was weened on such brews, my palate now requires the taste sensation only delivered by pricey micro-brews. I rue the day that I tried my first Goose Island Honkers Ale.

It is perfect on a hot day! We actually were talking to a friend of ours today, who owns one of the local bars and he said he may start carrying it there.

Lone Star = awesome. Perfect beer for those 110 degree searing summer days!

I have a friend who likes a very, very dry martini. How Dry? He tells the barkeep to threaten his martini by either passing the bottle of vermouth over the shaker or simply shouting "VERMOUTH".........
