Decisions, Decisions

[jmcquown]

I can't decide what I want to eat. I've got lots of choices. Usually I
have some idea, a hankering, even. Today, not so much.

My first thought is a grilled hot ham & swiss cheese sandwich (on
in-store bakery sourdough bread). Maybe with a cup of the broccoli
cheese soup I made yesterday.

But then I think hmmm, maybe a cheeseburger & some chips/crisps.

Anyone sense a sandwich theme going on? ;)

Or... I could have one of my homemade freezer meals. Meatloaf with
mashed potatoes.

Or... smothered pork chops, browned then simmered in a basic brown gravy
with sauteed onions, served with egg noodles.

I have a wide selection of frozen vegetables and I bought fresh small
brussels sprouts and fresh asparagus on Saturday.

The problem is, I don't have a craving for anything in particular.

Oh well, at least I don't have an STD meal. ;)

Good thing, you'd need penicillin for appetizer.

I haven't felt like eating anything for days!

I think most of us occasionally go through a few days
where nothing sounds appealing.

Best to cook an old favorite meal even if it doesn't sound
good at the time. Or go out to eat. Or even just eat some
lousy peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Once eaten, it
removes the hunger factor.

Since I do all the cooking I sometimes ask my wife what she'd like for
dinner... her stock answer is "Your choice". Some days I don't feel
like cooking so it's good that she likes garden salads with quartered
hard cooked eggs so that's easy. And we both like sliced hard cooked
egg sandwhiches with lettuce and tomatoes. Whenever I prepare boiled
hard cooked eggs I cook the entire dozen, they all get eaten in two
days. And won't be long our garden will be in so all summer we'll eat
lots of garden salads. This is going to be the year for heirloom
tomatoes, we ordered lots of different seeds that are already in peat
pots and growing.

What heirloom seeds did you order? Did you get different colors ? I
really like the Black Krim. I had grown Black Krim and Cherokee
Purple for a couple of years and decided I liked the Black Krim the
best.
I also order 4 or 5 different heirloom seeds. I planted my seeds in
mid-February and they are now shoulder high. I put them in the ground
3 days ago. I looked ahead on our weather and I think I am o.k. But,
now they are in the ground surrounded by tomato cages, I can cover
them if weather goes bad.
My pepper plants are a foot tall but I will be more cautious with them
as they really do not like a hint of cold. My cucumbers have just put
out their first true leaves. Parsley seedlings not doing so good this
year but the cilantro is bunching up. I'll direct plant basil seeds
June 1. I haven't readied the bush bean bed yet as those seeds really
like 60F and above soil (also true for corn seeds.) I have to do a
little bit at a time these days as my back gets annoyed with me. I'm
looking forward to garden veggies :)

Cheeseburger time?

Thanks to our German friends, it is now possible to have a burger at any time. There's no need to go outside in the disease ridden world for some awful drive-through burger. Now you can make it at home. All you need is a bain marie i.e., "dishwasher."

My wife ordered them so I really can't say.

Yeah maybe about time now. Only a McGary's burger though.
Those are pretty tasty too.
