I went out for errands and my local grocery chain had 1lb platters of cocktail shrimp on sale for $9 for some reason so I had like close to a dozen off of that and one of their small deli sandwiches (think 5 inch mini sub, italian) which I added balsamic, fresh tomato, and home grown basil to, over the course of maybe 2 hours or so, just kinda snackin' on all that.

Kind of a weird lunch, but p good all told.

hows the potato salad, I'm a fellow connoisseur of that variety.
I swing more to the preference of sour and spiced if that helps rather than sweet and potato-y

Sorry to quote myself but my local food chain (Festival, for you midwest goons) does these mini subs in these nice, small, I'll call them brioche buns even if they're not, but they're nice compact sub buns at just under six inches and they're chewey and great, and I'd buy them to make my own sandwiches from of any sort, but they don't sell them in their bakery section, which is odd, because they sell god drat everything else you can imagine.

They're wonderful little micro-french-bread-loafs and if sold individually or along side deli suggestions like adult lunchable suggestions I think this'd be a great thing but no dice!

hey man, was thinkin about you today and your guts and realized when reading another poster's woes that my mom had something pretty much like this, and it was her gallbladder.
They ripped that poo poo out and she was free as daylight when it came to eating again. I know you're boozin and fretting on poo poo and all, but she kinda was too, and once they got that sucker fixed up it took care of her real good, and that was years ago. Might want to check on that if ya ain't.

I really can't get enough of the local grocery chains little sub sandwiches that they make in their deli section.
I bring home either their 'delux' or 'italian' variant, add some better tomato slices and a few fresh basil leaves (we have a big rear end bush growing on our window sill it's like 2 years old, transplanted, and the lower branches legit look like bansai tree branches, it's nuts), and pour some real good quality balsamic on the bread and then close it back up and slam that bitch home and god drat if that ain't a good fricken meal.

That was my lunch at about 10:15 this morning

Plus some takis.

Tonight we're doing some weird left over thing my wife is hyphy for. I dunno.

e: Like believe it or not THIS is our kitchen basil plant, look at those branches. Basil should not look like that lol.

Valko that looks great (and not just because I've been thinking of making that only a couple days ago :p ) Nice work.

Wife and I both got a cheesesteak from Cousins. pfft. Very underwhelming, which, yes, I know it's a midwest chain place's cheesesteak, but their cold sandwiches like their italian and club are usually pretty flippin good, tbh. This was...measly. Could have easily ordered double portions of meat and peppers and still not filled up the bread it was on. WEAK. Undeserving! :colbert:

I've done 'chicken pot pie filling' with a potato crust like that as well and that turns out real good too.

It's hard to gently caress up "meat, gravy, and vegetables baked right in their own mashed potato coffin" but it does take effort and drat it's so rewarding.

my local piggly wiggly deli does on demand slicing of Boars Head deli meats and they have olive loaf so recently I got a pound and a half of that, cut pretty loving thick and ... well..I've been eating it out of hand about two slices at a crack or...

...or even worse my goons... on one slice of good white bread....with ketchup. Folded in half.

I showed up at the deli counter at like 8:17am on Tuesday and the quite literal old white Lunchlady archetype behind the counter who could barely see over it was like "WHAT?" And I asked for that olive loaf and it took like 15 minutes for her to go in the back, and get it open because I am the only one on earth that orders it, and slice it and give it to me and she was absolutely disgusted by me and I loved every second of it.

I don't think it's fair to need to pick a 'favorite' sandwich. They're so fundamentally unique that it's gonna vary from day to day. I could give you a nebulous list of my 'top choices' but they're gonna run all over the table and I may love one on Monday and have NO desire for it on Tuesday.

Also lunch today was lame. Old Trapper beef jerky (good texture oddly salty even for Jerky which is impressive to pull off, an apple, and a soda).

lol I bought one of the 'avocado ceasar' kits of this brand specifically because of this thread.

I opened it up for dinner last night.

...it was just the lettuce. They'd forgotten to pack ALL of the advertised included 'stuff' to make the 'kit' a 'kit' lol. My wife called them just to let them know and now we're getting like 6 free ones

e: also regarding apples; there's a kind of apple that's NOT Pink Lady (which are fine if a bit generic) that has light pink lines just under the peel who's name I can't find right now, that's awesome. Always crisp and fresh and not mealy. And I'll be dipped if I can find a reference to it because searching for it turns up the ubiquitous 'pink lady' or apples that are legitimately RED inside or some other weird poo poo.

Not that it doesn't sound fine but the ingredients on that 'Baja chicken sandwich' sound like the first 'hip' food you ever heard of as an 8 year old in exactly 1989 and you have purple and less purple board shorts on with a 'Mickey Mouse says it's MOUSE-ical to work out' shirt on or some poo poo but ONLY because it's after Karate class and the plain yellow shirt in your bag STINKS anyway you heard about this sandwich that has...RANCH on it?!

lol yeah ive noticed this in my area. people are tired of cooking and stress eating like hell.

Also this, and like a Venture Brother would say "Like DIP" am I going to pull up to any fast food place with more than 3-4 cars in line. I'll just go hungry. I see these places with cars literally wrapped entirely around the building, let's say 10-15 deep. I don't care how fast they're moving. If that's 3 minutes a car, that's a 45 minute investure. That's not 'fast food'. That's being a loving moron. Call ahead to a decent place. Make your order. Drive on over (or saunter, or whatever, I don't give a gently caress) and waltz in to the sound of no one loving being there and your food being ready to meet you.

I am jealous of the wok setup, there's a lot of legit chinese food I want to cook but doing it on my electric stove is just not the same at all.

So, my kitchen opens to my attached garage. Immediately left of opening the kitchen door gets you one of the garage side doors.
This is paved back up towards the front of the garage in cement. About half way up, there is an 'extra' cement walk way panel that was poured, facing looking out into the back 2 acres of country. It was a specifically designed deck for a grill.
That's where the wok is going.

The burner setup that this has, has holes on the ends of the legs and variable mounting positions. In a perfect world, what I would do is build a small trolley with castor wheels like:

That have both a suspension and lock. And frame it up so that I could have the fuel on a basic platform, attached to castor wheels like that and the wok stand properly mounted above.

I will say that up north (here in the GB area) it's very rare to see potato pancakes.

It's normally fries or german potato salad. I don't know that I've ever seen pancakes, actually, in my entire life living around here. I've seen those on brunch menus tons, but not as part of Friday night affairs, and here it's by far Perch, then bluegill, shrimp, walleye, then cod in order of popularity.
