Oatmeal and a banana. My daily breakfast.
Hah! Well, May, that is mine also. Bananas are a miracle fruit. Amazing what they do for the body and mind. Just found out that they are excellent for depression. They send endorphins to the brain much like a "jogger's high". KEITH
Homeade chicken soup with sauteed onions, peppers and roasted garlic...noodles and yellow rice. Fresh tender chinese greens, pak choi, frissee, and mizuna mustard. Cooked enough to last through about half the winter...all frozen in individual packages, now. Will cut another load and finish up stocking for the winter.
Light chardonnay with it. KEITH
Aw, poor Bill.....hope it was really worth it!
Cooking a fancy chicken stew while awaiting my guest. Went to pick greens at the neighbors. They THOUGHT they had planted a mixture of regular mustard greens, collards and kale....which meant a lot of pulling the green stuff off tough stems. MUCH to my delight, I found they were CHINESE greens, mizuna mustard, pak choi, and frissee........NO TOUGH stems, so all you have to do is cook them, (lot less than the other ones)...of course, you wash them first, LOL......and they are done!
Also cut up about 30 peppers from another neighbors garden......some for the stew.....the rest to freeze for later ones.
Now, when Moon arrives, we can scout our positions then get ready for close to dark when the deer will return.......we HOPE. Plan to do a lot of guitar playing today, and tonight. You get a champion in your house, you may as well learn all you can from him while he is there!
Hope you are better now, Bill, KEITH
Breakfast, small rolls full of Country Ham and coffee, and an orange. Skipped Thanksgiving this year, or would have had leftovers. KEITH
Well, if THAT isn't scary, I don't know what is! KEITH
Speaking of --the last day I was in College--and being a poor and broke college student--all I had was about $2-$3 bucks to spend for food so my friend and I went to a McDs and bought a cheap burger and fries. Well, the sloppy friend of mine managed to drop some french fries in my car and somehow at least one got under his seat-neither of us saw it. Well, about a year or so later-I was cleaning the heck out of my car--and found a french fry. The thing had NOT--deteriorated at all and looked like it was just made. The reason I knew it was from then--was because that was the only time I ate fries in my car--as well as anyone else.
Hi there LT. They didn't have fast food places when I was little. I believe the first take-out was Chinese, then a pizza place, then a hamburger place, (not franchises). Oh, the first franchise in Atlanta, GA that I know of was Kentucky Fried Chicken. But, little by little more came out as people got lazier and lazier, LOL.
I still rarely went to one unless I was on the road.....then, they seemed like the thing to do. Eat on the run.
But, when I had the Alligator Jack's Restaurant in North FLorida, one of my almost every night couple customers were Ollie and Linda. They both had taken an early retirement from Burger King when a British company won out on a hostile takeover. As Ollie was head of franchising for the entire world, he settled for quite a hefty lump sum. But, that is another story.
Back to McDonald's. Once, while Linda and I were traveling to Plantation Key to move the last of their belongings up to the house they built on the 40 acres they had bought right ON the Suwanee River near A.J.s, we stopped at a McDonalds because there were no Burger King's for three keys in either direction, (I had taken to only eating at Burger King's on my trips in honor of Ollie and Linda's past employment with them, LOL). Same as you.....YUK! At least BK had the "flame broiled taste".....might be the same type meat, but they were cooked over a special device that made them taste like you cooked them on the grill...thus.....flavor. Also, their fries didn't come close to comparing to BK's. Had a McDonald's only once, and it was just a flat, tasteless cardboardy type thing. Yet, like Ethan's kids.......my niece absolutely LOVED them.....Go figure. Can't imagine why grown people actually pay money and put those things into their bodies!
Last night I had a rather simple meal of Amish ground and mixed "deerburger"......don't process my own deer anymore.....just gut and skin them and take them to the Amish folks down the street. They make me a lot of deerburger, some breakfast sausage, summer sausage, two hams, the tenderloin and back straps for steaks, and pot roast meat. All is packaged professionally in usually one pound chubs except for the hams, of course which I cold smoke. $50..........worth every single penny and then a lot more.
So, the deerburger, yellow rice to which I always add extra saffron, and Poke Salad, (lightly cooked as you would fresh spinach....has the same nutritional value, and you just have to go outside and pick it.....grows everywhere!) Of course, a glass of a nice light Cabernet topped it off.

I had a tasteless cheeseburger from McDonald's..... It was horrible.... disgusting.... revolting.... nauseating.... and in the words of mature sensible adults everywhere, "Yucky".
Herb encrusted, sauteed Tilapia fillets cooked JUST PAST raw. Small Broccoli Florets and fresh baby yellow squash cooked whole in the microwave, (make sure you stick them with a fork first or you will be sorry), and frozen banana/strawberry yogurt. Nice little glass of wine also. LOVE to COOK! Plus owned two seafood restaurants, LOL!
Fun little thread, Carl. Might take a pic or two next time and dress the plate up a little. So, no phone call and no review....better call me young fellah!
