Default Thursday lunch

Cooking right now and almost finished -

Very large potato cubed
Medium-large onion cubed
Some cubed Spam

All fried until very browned, almost blackened.
(in oil and butter combined)
Will serve with some Gramma.R signature applesauce.
And a buttered piece of bread.

It's enough for two meals, easy.

I'm off to my weekly lunch out. Greek salad, fresh bread and olive oil
for dipping. Ice water to drink.

Well, I'll be home all day and I need to decide what to do with 2 pounds of
extra lean ground beef (aka, mystery meat). I need to either do something
like a meatloaf or vacuum seal it and freeze it.

I like Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray tonic with a pastromi on seeded rye but you
can keep the rest of your TIAD slop.

You can buy it by the case from Amazon; your kind of shopping.

It does seem to be a texture thing. I like BLTs but, as I said before,
we don't always have lettuce on hand when I have a hankering for a BLT,
so it just have bacon and tomato. They are good, but definitely lacking
an essential ingredient. It is curious how some people think that some
things have no flavour, but you can definitely tell when there is too
much. Celery is good example. Another is bay leaf. Soups and stews
without it tend to be missing something, even if you can't pinpoint the
missing taste. A couple years ago I had a dish in a Mexican restaurant
that had way too much bay leaf.

My grandmother used to give us Dripping Doorstops - thick cut bread
smeared with a heavy dose of dripping which had lots of rough salt on
top. I don't think I could handle one now but it sure quieted kids on
limited war time diets Have to say, we were very active kids all
day so maybe the body actually needed it, we are all still very
healthy save one who was killed in a motor bike accident at age 20.

Nothing else with the cottage cheese? Isn't that kind of blah by
itself?

I meant to do that for the 2nd helping last night but forgot.
Last week I did do a microwaved potato then turned into lumpy
mashed potato. I did top that with a juicy over-easy egg. Broke
the yolk over it and it was very delicious.

Not something I have ever made. Do I see that you part cook your
potatoes first?

Mentioned it to D and he fancies it <g>

Yes, I can taste it but find it doesn't add a wow factor or make me refuse to
eat a BLT if it's missing.

I can never discern whether a dish is missing bay leaf or not thus I don't use
it. One herb I can definitely tell that will overpower a dish is sage. That
is one addition I'm very, very careful when adding. Taste, needs a smidge
more sage; taste, needs a smidge more sage; taste, ok, that's plenty, add no more!
