Belies your sunny disposition........lazy/tired is why they invented fast food......

I was too tired to stop on the way home. Yup.

Another Experimental Day for me, as I gotta have my fun:

A bowl:

BASE: A baker with lots of flavors and cheese and French Butter

MIDS: Beef Rouladen (Sort of...) cooked in a sauce that includes some otherwise gross Chocolate Wine, Made in Idaho! .....and buttered corn.

TOPPING: I nice dollop of Sour Cream and a pretty heavy downpour of Tabasco.

Did I mention being too tired and also lazy? Yup, straight up. I hear it grows hair. Don't quote me on that, but try that stuff some time. It is good, refreshing, fills you up.

Well, if it does grow hair, for me, it'd be gray hair, and I have plenty of that, more than I care to have (LOL), already.

I do like sauerkraut, however, hot (or at least warm) and seasoned, but I like it.

I suspect one can argue too that "lazy/tired" is also why restaurants, as opposed to "pick-up and go," were invented.

Some interesting texts on the origins of food service:

FWIW, fast food businesses have existed since at least Ancient Roman times.​

• 
  [*=1]Food and Drink in Antiquity: A Sourcebook: Readings from the Graeco-Roman World
  [*=1]Roman food bar (aka "thermopolium")
  
  
  

Of course, the ancients also had restaurants.​

• 
  [*=1]A popular belief exists that family members should sit down and dine together and, if they don't, this may represent a breakdown of the family structure, but that idea did not originate in ancient Rome.
  • 
    [*=1]See also: Ancient Romans preferred fast food
  
  [*=1]"Most thermopolia sold food that was "prepared to be eaten on the run rather than sitting down."
  • 
    [*=1]See also: Encyclopedia of Society and Culture in the Ancient World

Only if that baloney was Fried and a big hunk of sharp cheddar cheese was melted on top

My arteries just hardened reading that.

That was interesting.

Thats the kind of dinner I used to have when I was around 7.

I'm going to cover my Keds with hollandaise sauce lightly powdered with paparika and lick them off until I burp loudly. Then I'll make a clean garden salad with balsamic vinegar and virgin olive oil just to look at it.

For dessert I will enjoy a handful of Lipitor.

Ah. TY for the explanation of what "fake ham" is.

It has not yet ceased to astound me that vegetarians/vegans yet choose to describe the flavor of certain food "sanctioned" items in terms of the flavors of foods they abjure eating rather than in terms of the flavor of the "sanctioned" food substance itself. Perhaps that's poor expression of what I mean....lemme try again....

Inasmuch as vegans/vegetarians forswear meat and/or animal sourced foods, why do they not develop and remark upon food using a lexicon that describes the actual flavors of food items they are willing to eat? If one doesn't want to eat meat, fine, but then why lionize and/or attempt to emulate the flavor of meat?
​

• 
  [*=1]Why not produce and eat, say, "tofu cuts" rather than sliced meat (cold cuts) and talk about the flavor of tofu?
  [*=1]Why not produce "vegan cuts" that taste like some vegetable rather than like a meat?
  [*=1]Why not produce and eat, say, "quinoa loaf" and remark upon how it tastes as quinoa rather than on how it tastes relative to meatloaf, or even bother trying to make quinoa taste like meatloaf?

Do you get what meaning?

I just don't see the point of going through so much effort to make or obtain food items that taste like a different food item that one is unwilling to eat. If one doesn't want to eat meat, well, one doesn't. I haven't anything to say about that. But if one doesn't want to eat meat, why not develop a taste for non-meat-tasting-like stuff that one will eat.

I'm willing to eat, say, tofu and TVP and other vegan food items, but I think they taste bland -- so bland that any flavoring added to them makes them taste like the flavor added to them and not like themselves; put salt on tofu and it tastes like salt, not like tofu -- that I don't much eat them. So that's why I don't "get" the relativist rhetorical depictions of vegetarian/vegan food eaters when they're discussing, eating or seeking meat alternatives.​

we're all omnivores. i reached a point where i couldn't handle the process anymore. i have more to say about it, but it would probably be better discussed in its own thread. this one is mostly about what we're having for dinner, and that's fun.

Made my first lentejas (lentil) soup and as always with a first time, there's tweeks to be made but all in all it turned out pretty good if I do say so. I did use weenies instead of chorizo to appease my daughter but I think next time will use both.

Tilapia frozen IQF with a crumb of stale Ruffles, the crumbs from a bag of those commercial fried onions like on T-DAY green bean casserole, paprika, creole seasoning baked and then served with a dollop of seasoned chive sour cream, with commercial dried mashed potato pak served with the last of a leftover sour cream mushroom gravy.

Liberal Tabasco over the fish and sour cream.
