Been Fantasizing About Food

Food I can't get right now.  Pub food.  In a pub.  I just have a hankerin' for a steak and cheese sub and bad crinkle cut fries brought to me by a waitress with pints of keg beer. 

I hope that shushi place survives, but I'll need that or some other sushi joint when this thing is over.

So, those are my work thoughts.

As for home menu's.

I used to have a more varied menu plan.  I'm in a rut.  Port chops, then steak, then braised chicken thighs, then stew, then spaghetti, and then home made fried chicken.  All good but I need to mix it up.


  • I haven't bought a packet of tortellin in 20 years.  That and sauce would be good.
  • I need to make burritos a bit more frequently.  Tuesdays!
  • ersatz crab cakes with canned tuna and bread crumbs.  Hmmm, I can afford the crab these days, I'm no longer 24 years old.
  • More fresh fish filets.  Big piece of cod or sockeye.  Fried in butter 4-5 minutes a side, with salt and pepper, dash of lemon juice.
  • 10 years ago I braised short beef ribs.  Need to do that again.  
  • And would it hurt to do a pork tenderloin now and again?
