McDonalds, and now im kinda wishing i didn't.

Some large Arizona Nacho's Grande burger, wasn't that great.

The post McDonalds regret.

Bubba Bacon Cheesburgers on the grill.

Not bad.

Some Utz Red Hot Potato chips and cold beer

I'm going to Original Joe's in North Beach. It's going to be clam mania for me! A bowl of their New England chowder - one of the best in San Francisco followed by linguine vongole (white sauce).

Then tomorrow it's back to whatever Safeway has for "$5 Friday."

Nice.

Niece home from College and requested my Wings.

I of course accomodated with a full tray of my BBQ'd dressed wings.

Taco Pizza tonight. Good stuff!

That looks good Mark. I hardly eat fast food but it was 90 here today so didn't want to cook. So, I ate this burger from Carl's called El Diablo (the devil) It looks totally disgusting but man was it good. It's got the evil meat, bacon, straight up jalapeños, and jalapeño poppers in it that oozes out sinful spiciness and cheese. Every bite I took had to be at least 100 calories each but it was GOOOOOD GOOOOOOOD Spicy HOT Meaty GOOD. My mouth is on fire and my belly is full. I can take a nice nonni nap right now.

Take-Out, tonight (Uncle Vinnie's)

Had a calamari salad for starters and the entree was Flounder Francese..Excellent choices!

Pizza from our favorite pizza parlor. Great stuff and it never disappoints!

Home Early, BBQ'd a cut up chicken I picked up.

Did not marinate it but cooked it so slow and dressed it with hickory / hot sauce mix, for hour and a half, turning it often, came out great....wife loves when I do this.

Made sausage and peppers with potatoes. Good for dinner and even better with eggs for breakfast.

Very nice A, that is a Winner!

Where from, Mark?

I just ate a few more pieces of Eggplant, could not resist these moulinyan beautie's from my garden.

Fried up perfectly after being treated, we give them the treatment for a few hours after being sliced thin as paper and before breading and fryin.

The treatment is a soaking of milk in a bowl with a smaller heavier bowl laid over them, pressing on them for some reason or another.
Not sure what the heck its all about but damn they are good.

They end up with sauce and and a little cheese.

This year they have become my Favorite dish.

That guy is hysterical.

Very funnie.

Reminds me of guy from the old neighborhood, fuckin guy is always angry, at everything and everybody, but at the same time know how to be funnie and have a good time also.

Funnie Shit.

A couple of Marinated Porterhouse Steaks off the grill.

Did a overnight marinade of Wistershire, garlic, onion and some Chipolte tabassco.

Wife made a Zuccinni Pie for a side and a few cut up Tomato from the garden with mottzi balls. The t & m were drizzled and sprinkled of cource with oil and Oregano.

Dues - serious question... what exactly is matzo balls and what do they taste like? I saw a show about food and they showed a chicken soup with matzo balls and it looked delicious.

What are they?

LoL, those are different then what I was talkin about.

I meant Mozzarella Cheese balls, "fresh mottzie" my friends or locals around me call it. Or Muetts. Its a slang or short way of sayin it.

The Motzo Ball, like in motzo Soup..... thats a huge bread ball in a chicken broth, they make it like a big bread meatball.

Yeah, swing and a miss on that one for sure. My bad!

Thanks for the info, Dues.

tonight i made straccetti di manzo con rughetta. It's thin sliced steak in a salad of arugula and shallots with a balsamic/red wine vinegar dressing.

Very Nice.

I like this, I will do it. I will Q a fillet and dress it like this.

Nice summer dish.

Thanks Wheels

Not at all, it was me ....I shuda wrote Mozzarella to be clear.
I like to write the way I speak sometimes, its fun.

I dont put it on, I can be a little rough around the edges sometimes but when I need to be tighter or reeled in , I can pull it off when needed.

LoL

Anytime. It's really easy to make, heat a little olive oil in a pan, throw in some chopped shallots let them soften for a minute or two, then add some balsamic and regular red wine vinegar and let it boil for 5-7 minutes. Pour on top of the steak and arugula.

Enchiladas tonight...

Sausage carbonara tonight, with a nice olive bread to accompany and a delicious vanilla cheese cake for afters

Thats is A winner Sir.

Just got back from Gargiulo's near Coney Island food is always good here.

Get this 4 couples total years married 190 years

Nice, good solid people with that number.

Do they still let you pull a ticket for the winning number with check?

Yes I never saw anyone win that. We were at the table talking for 6 hours. So we gave the waiter 50 percent tip. So he would not lose any money.

Normally I don't talk a lot with them. They are my wife's friends not mine.

This guy John went right to flight training straight out of HS during Vietnam. Helicopter pilot air cav. Training is going fine but his vision was a little less then perfect. So they tried to talk him out. Guy tells him life expecting was 2 weeks in that. He tells him I don't care. So they let him stay in.


He becomes a big hero. He writes a book about it "born in Brooklyn raised in the Air cav"
