The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

My sister had it, too. But time and tide wait for no one.
I want to make it two years without one of those. Although, when I broke down and went to the eye doc for a stye a few months ago I got the horse pill size anti-biotic. Still haven't wore that bitch out yet. Had perfect vision after the cataracts. But now the left eye wakes up with snot like tears in it. Really annoying. Specially if I go outside and have to wipe it under the sunglasses.
I am sure there is worse shit to complain about. But that's mine. That and waking up to pee at 3 or 4 is like breaking the seal when I used to drink beer. Back then it was 1 for 1. Now its 1 per hour. I want to sleep all the way again. This sleeping till 10 or 11 feels like such a waste.
 
I had a 2+lb london broil I bought discounted and tossed in the freezer and pretty much forgot about. I ran it in the sous vide for a while to thaw, then opened. Smells great. Its getting some concoction like wanderer's. Red wine garlic onion carrot celery mushrooms. I had a leek left over. Most of a box of fresh thyme. Bay. A jalapeno. Some potato. A tomato I found that was still good and some paste.
Just a cook everything in the fridge before it goes bad day. I still can't decide noodles, pasta or rice.
I'm going to have to open another bottle of wine.
I wonder how to get the texture of the potatoes right. The rest is pretty good. I could have taken the jalapino out sooner. I had to add a little cream and sour cream to level it off. But I want the potatoes to have less bite, more flavor. I'm gonna gorge. Maybe noodles tomorrow. Looks like the healthy parts of DHS are unfunded again. The woman will appreciate a special lunch tomorrow. Or maybe Wednesday. Whenever they tell them to work from home since they are withholding paychecks again.
 
The pork industry wouldn’t do that!

Would they? 🫤🤔

I guess they were just following suit with the sugar industry who tried to sell that sugar was not fattening.
Oh my! Another political statement in the dive bar!
Pigs are good. nNK?
Sugar is good. nNK!
But like horses and cowboys, those pigs were introduced to the America's by the Spanish.
I don't necessarily agree with the Spanish but on the one thing. I all the way love pork. Pig food. All the way.
And I think there is some farmland in California I would feel privileged to hunt pigs that live on acorns in the fall.
After harvesting one, I would like some one to help me understand how to get that black hair off so I could get to the business of pulling out the good parts from the first one. Then making an old school picking out of the second. The oak that bore the acorns is fine for the smoke. I won't be able to chop it all fast enough, but I could eventually chop it.
Sugar is good with pig. Like Chinese food adding sugar to pig is a mix you can make perfect. All food good is sugar fat starch, adding protein is just natural. Go find your favorite Chinese restaurant. oil starch protein sugar. The rightliest combination is your favorite Chinese restaurant. Who figured it out first? Those who loved pig or those who found the spices we use as controls. Accoutrements. Simple modifications to the mundane to distract ourselves from the repetition we all endure? Occasionally inspiring the sensation of heat without burning anything. After that all the culinary entertainment is fermented.

I feel like they use a torch and scrape to get the hair off
 
Gnight, spooners.

I’m working in Philly the next few daze. May not be on as much.
I can't imagine much food I remember would still be there. If you can make a Flyers game the brisket is to die for.
If you can have dinner out. 2nd Street near the condo that was in the Ghost Busters movie there is an Irish bar. Good eats. Cobble stone streets. They even have lamb balls. Bye the way, the bartenderette heard that joke. She will laugh anyway. The balls are actually good. She knows they aren't that big in real life.
2nd, down by Market / base of the Ben Franklin you can find Einstein's. Good eats again. Kind of rural [local American] Indian. It is where he lived in Philly. Fireplace, warm. I liked the apple cider pork chops. Don't eat the apple chunks unless you really like cider.
11th? I called it the Superman building because it reminded me of an old Superman movie. Red granite. Dock Streets Brew Haus is in the lobby. Rabbit was always good. They do or did do cool stuff with quail too. Fun place to take a date. Always a winner.
Day time. Find Pat's and the one across the street with a friend. Both of you go to separate houses and order a Cheese Steak, Mushroom onion Provolone with fries. Find a place to sit and trade half of the cheese steaks and fries. Let us know which half you think is better. Pat's or the one with a G. I always liked Arthur's on 36th, but its gone now. Didn't make it past covid. Up there university is the Whitedog Cafe. That's good food too. Stop by the Black Dog or maybe Black Cat next door and get something unique for the Mrs. Uptown 16thish or maybe it was Rittenhouse, is Anthropology, that ladies store. You might find an artifact the Mrs. would appreciate there. The store is really cool. A NYC newspaper magnate bought that house for his wife because she did not want to live in NYC. The round staircase is topped off with a stained glass atrium covered by a cement dome. WWII they could not have light so it was covered up. Next door in the basement level was a Kitchen store. Privately owned and operated. Really nice lady. Cute too. Found really cool stuff there. Found a ceramic tea set for my sister-in-law she still talks about it today. Kind of like the frog prince story, in Italian pastels. Across from the Betsy Ross House is a flag store. Same store was there when the Constitution [maybe the Declaration - my history is screwed up] was signed. Lineage. Kind of cool to be in the presence of such flags, the old pipe organ from the church next door.... Anyway, stop by and have a wiff of real Americana. Dust on those floors been there quite a while. If you have time and want to impress your friends, in front of Memorial Hall West Fairmount Park is the Smith Memorial Arch honoring Pennsylvania's Civil War military and naval heroes. Generals from both sides. The whispering benches are something to experience. I'm at a loss of street names in my head. If I could remember them they take you under a natural arch and past Strawberry Mansion. Cool graveyard. I think it is closed to public now. Victim to vandalism you can't go there. Anyway, sit on those benches and look at those old brown stones. I wonder who lived in those when they were new. Big heavy doors like Mulberry Street in Boston.
It's Philly. I hope you get to enjoy something while you are there.
 
@likes2watchU thanks for the kind words. I am taking today as a rest day, so I can help organize things on the phone, but I am not driving at all.

When I worked in Radio, we had a western radio drama i would swipe the tapes of after they broadcast. Louis L'Amoure Theatre. I loved the Chick Bowdry stories
Glad you took a rest day! 🫂🫂
