Today's food craving?

HooRU

I'm broke so it has to wait, but I'm craving a Pizza from Oakville down the road, they make a really great all the way pie. I'm so tired of my own cooking (though I'm a very good cook). What is also a bummer is that I can only afford Aldi's which is both good and bad. It's a good store, but there are so many foods I wish for that I can't get. I sure would love to make a big batch of Hummus again, and home made Pita. And Dolmates.

We have a terrific Lebanese place down the road, the owners are really lovely people, very community oriented and the food is amazing.

Speaking of Aldis, the one I shop at had a whole pork tenderloin for $1.79/lb. With meat, dairy and fresh vegetables raising prices substantially in the last three weeks, this was a real surprise.

Who would have guessed potatoes would be five bucks for a 5 lb bag?

At any rate, I did the pork loin in the oven, had a couple slices with a baked potato and steamed broccoli.

It's Friday. I had fish sandwiches (Gortons) and crinkle cut French fries. I would rather have had the real fish and chips like I had in Portsmouth, England, not the crap that Captain D's or Long John Silver's put out.

Having a bowl of homemade chili as I type this. For dessert I'll have pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing.

Wanting a REAL NY Kosher Pastrami or Corned Beef on some Excellent Real Jewish Rye Bread along with Dill Pickles from the NY Bowery Pickle Shop and DR Brown's Cream .Soda.
No such thing exits here in SW Florida

Kosher Pastrami and Corned Beef are both made from beef, but they come from different parts of the animal Corned beef is made from brisket, while pastrami can be made from the deckle or navel cuts. The flavors of corned beef and pastrami are different, with pastrami having a little extra spice and flavor

Dr. Brown’s Cream Soda is a light and sweet, extra-smooth kosher cream soda. It boasts old-fashioned taste and is ideally carbonated with a creamy body and loaded with vanilla cream flavor

My doctor just called and told me to stop looking at that.

Time for you to move back to NYC or to LA and hang out at Katz's, Brent's or Canter's.

Back in the 70s-90s there was a deli called Rascals up around 120th street in Hallandale. It had the best Kosher deli food I ever had. It was a fantastic late night place for food and people watching.
Edit - Miami back in the 60s was full of great local eateries. Little Havana's restaurants were awesome. Inexpensive woth good food and generous servings.

There's a little place in Chokoloskee, the Havana Cafe, that had a good (but pricey)menu. I heard it changed hands last year, haven't been back since we no longer have property in Naples and don't get down there anymore.

I'm lucky to have had Carnegie Deli's Pastrami and Corned Beef before they shut down. I've also had LA';s Katz Deli too.

GrubHub delivery from McDonald's: 2 CB (for mom), 2 DCB (for me), 1 Free Big Mac (for me later). Made my own fries.

broknsymetry GrubHub? They don't get my business any longer. When I order it's usually with slicelife.

I wound up getting all that for only $7.50. They screwed up and gave my first order to someone else (???) so gave me a $15 credit. 😀 💵

I’ve been making ‘cheeseburger sliders’ using two ounce ground chuck patties and Aldi Brioche rolls. For the cheese I use either Amish smoked Swiss or lacy Swiss. I slice the rolls and lightly butter them before toasting them on the grill.

I use the same style of toasted rolls to make sausage sliders using “little smokies” sliced lengthwise to fit on the rolls. Three ‘halves’ of smokies microwaved to heat fit nicely. A dab of coleslaw and mustard.

Paired with a salad, steamed veggies and/or a baked potato, one slider makes a decent meal.

I had a toothache all day and didn't feel like cooking.

I order through GH maybe once every 3-4 months. I get GH+ through my Amazon Prime membership. I usually order BK or Taco Bell, but McDs was having the free Big Mac special.

I'm no food snob and I've had Micky d's on occasion. But neah. I had take out 2 days in a row, tonight American style Tacos from my own hands.

I get not feeling up to cooking, happens all the time since that is what I mostly have to do. I hate to admit that sometimes a Mig Mac is a temptation, they know what they are doing making us want that stuff.

There's a pizza joint near here that does char broiled burgers and they are really good.

I really enjoy cooking, but it is sometimes a chore. Because I'm disabled it takes me 3-4 times as long and then I'm exhausted afterward. I'll then often just have some ramen for dinner.

I will sometimes make ramen with some Chinese seasongs and chicken with veggies. I, too, can get overwhelmed and if your sick, cooking is the last thing you want to do, I get it. I've been there lately.

It won't go to waste. I'll eat it for you.

jjprevost Mine just reminded me to sip some acid-tinged water first, then have greens.
( Dessert last, of course. )
