What's For Dinner Tonight?

Cheeseburger......fries......Southern Sweet Tea.

Thin crust sausage pizza & Miller Lite.


(getting up on the nearest soapbox)


I really, really, really hate it when the network shows, like The Today Show, Leno, Letterman, etc., come to Chicago. Chicago has some of the finest dining establishments in the world. They make it seem like all we eat is deep dish pizza (I prefer thin crust), cheesecake (I've never seen what people see in that), and roast beef sandwiches from a place called Mr. Beef (If I want a good roast beef sandwich, I'll go to either a local place by my house or one of the hyperlinks in my signature called The Patio).

(getting down off of the soapbox now)

Mike since you don't like Cheesecake can I have your's!

I had a fish dinner from Long John Silver's. I really don't like fish, but if you cover it with enough ketchup (which should be in a food group all its own entitled "staples of life!") its actually quite palatable! I've actually had friends say to me, "Would you like a little fish with your ketchup?" Quite literally, you can't see the fish for the mound of ketchup on my plate! But, hey, that's the way I like it! What can I say?

I grew up in the southern tip of Illinois. When I tell people I am from Il. they always ask what part of Chicago....*sighs*

Anyway, isn't it a shame? Some of the best steakhouses I have ever been to were in Chicago. Can't remember naes, just that there was soooo many good resturants that is was hard to choose. As for me, tonight I dine on baked chicken and corn on the cob........

Tonight I brought home an Italian beef sandwich from one of the local fast food places. Yum !

Actually, when I'm out of town and tell people I'm from Chicago, I get either "do you know so-and-so? They live in Chicago" or "what suburb do you live in?" My two stock answers are "no, I don't know that person" (while thinking "there's over a million people living in the Chicago metro area, so the chances of me knowing that person are slim, dumbass") and "no, I actually live within the Chicago city limits".

I'm guessing you grew up near either Cairo or Metropolis.

Actually, I lived just south of Springfield. In the midst of the corn. However, I did go to school down in Carbondale. Didn't learn much, but got a great appreciation for good (and bad) beer!

We decided to have Chili and fresh homemade bread...yumm!!! Goes well with a cold beer...

HAMBURGERS, HOMEMADE FRENCH FRIES!

Then why do you eat it, may I ask?

I'll probably be having whatever is being served tonight to the guests at the hotel. One of the advantages of working in the banquet department...free food!

Smoked Game Hens, fresh salad from the garden, and beets.

Orange Almond Chicken, Rice, Green Beans, maybe some cornbread too. Maybe salad instead of bread.

O'siyo,
Nuttin' for supper tonight..I refuse to cook 'cause come tomorrow night I will be sittin' on the deck, looking at the ocean, munching on shrimp, baby flounder and clam chowder Nothing but seafood seafood and seafood for the next two weeks! Yummy!
