    A few pieces of sausage & bacon.  A slab of French Toast.  Splash some Vermont Fancy Grade Maple Syrup over it. 

    I'm an old school guy...this new grading system for Syrup is silly.  Grew up surrounded by it and know Fancy is the best.
    Now, they would call that 'A - Golden'
    (I see you are a Medium Amber (or, A - Amber) guy.  Also good, but not sure if you want the best US syrup, you need to insist on VT.  ;) )

    Stoli, olives, ice, dab of OJ.

    Great start to a holiday - well done!

    I was a Grade B guy. What the hell is that called now?

    Grade A Dark is what I believe they call that now.


    Cheesesteak advice....I make a mean Chickensteak but I dont make Cheesesteaks at home.  Big debate on if you chop that shit or cook as is with a little fat.

    Sounds good for lunch.

    Cheesesteaks turned out great!
    I decided to add bacon, because...duh.  it's bacon.
    Thick sliced hickory bacon diced and sautéd with poblanos, then onions garlic and beef went in for a few, melted provolone and salt on top, Hellman's on the bun and sweet potato fries.
    It was delicious and Dr Gambs really liked it and she's never ordered a cheesesteak sandwich in her life.

    Two artichokes steamed up for the Mrs and I.
    Kids thought they looked gross and would not eat.  I love artichokes.

    I like to stack the leaves in tall, neat piles after I bite out the small piece of flesh.

    I love artichokes too.  Steamed, or even charred after, garlic aoli.  Yum!  I love the journey of eating my way to its heart.

    So big weekend in south Philly with the Italian market festival. This neighborhood (s) is the best.

    over the past 36 hours I have had

    vietnamese - pho 
    indian - vindaloo cooked at home
    mexican - corn on the cob and a variety of legit tacos 
    Cambodian - beef and chicken skewers 
    Italian - hot sausage and peppers sandwich

    and I may or may not have a cheesesteak to top it all off.

    i swear I am not morbidly obese

    cauliflower and broccoli mixed with hot smoked salmon, butter from the farmers market as well as fresh dill - yum!

    Did you get a pear and eat it with the sticker on?

    If not, then you failed.

    Method number one
    put in a steam basket
    steam for 20-30 minutes
    get your favorite dipping sauce
    go to frigging town

    Love them.  As Hedo put it, there is a journey to eat to get to the heart.  Enjoyed best with someone else and talking whilst eating....sharing a beer, perhaps?

    I love artichokes too.  Have cooked them once at home. Cutting them is a lot of work for what you get out of it!

    Prepping and eating, they take a bit of work.  This is why it is done best with someone else, and shooting the shit, having a beverage.

    It's still a struggle to get me to use utensils. 

    Sandwiches rule. Fuck artichokes.

    I would tell you my other aversion to artichokes, but that story would likely get me banned. Let's just say that I've tasted them, just not directly, and it was awful. :sick:

    But I'm a trooper!

    A solid point.  Will have to work these in more.

    Not much better than a simple Cabot quesodilla and some good hot sauce as a snack.

    We share a love of the best American cheeses.
    I grew up not far from the Cabot Creamery.

    Are any of you interested in dried Carolina Reaper Peppers in whole or prepared form to make your own sauce?

    Sounds good!

    On the peppers...I think I will pass.  The scorpion sauce I just got is going to kill me, I think.  Reaper is much hotter, right?  I'm already a total moron for getting the scorpion one...I love hot stuff but my body does not love the extreme ones - ghost fucked me up one time .
    Thanks for the offer - very generous!

    Just had a chicken curry with chips, along with some spare ribs in a barbecue sauce, and prawn crackers. I feel like a sloth for the rest of today.
