I just read someone's blog about tuna noodle casserole. I've had it before. Steve made it. I think just a few years ago (when he made it) was the first and only time that I've ever had it. I ate it, but I didn't love it. I do, however, love tuna. As a steak, in cans and as sushi. Spicy tuna rolls. That's what I usually get when I eat sushi. I also get an order of tekka maki? If that's the cucumber roll thing then that's what I eat. I torture myself with wasabi. I use too much and then it lights up my brain and I freak out and then get happy. The first time I had sushi, I hated it. I thought it was one of the grossest things I'd ever tasted. I didn't understand it. I didn't understand that raw part of it. Why not just cook it, I thought. Stupid? Yeah but no.
Anyway, I had some eggs with cheese, home fries and Pepperidge farm white toast. Steve made the home fries. They weren't exactly made from fresh potatoes. We were doing like Sandra Lee (from Food Network) and making it semi-homemade. hehehe. Steve taught me that there was a frozen bag of cubed potatoes literally called hash browns. Anyway, he sautees onions and peppers (finely diced) and then heats up the frozen hash browns. And then adds the onion-pepper mixture. It's not bad. I certainly ate enough of it.
I'm obsessed with the idea of a potato sandwich. I think it comes from when I visited Spain. They have these egg and potato "omelette" type things called tortillas (not as in the chip) that you can make sandwiches out of. The omelette is just loaded with potatoes and I was loving the combo of bread with potato. Oh, the "tortilla" is probably better known to most as a "fritatta". Italian egg omelette. They're really simple and really good. I haven't made one in ages.
For a while now, I dreamed of having a hot dog cart alongside Washington Square Park in NYC (on NYU campus) serving mashed potato cones instead of hotdogs. On these cones - made of a bruschetta type material - one can add gravy, veggies, maybe even meat though I had vegetarian in mind for all the weirdos in Manhattan. (Not that vegetarians are weird. Actually they are. I'm not sure what it is about them. Hey! Wait. I might become one of the fish eating variety. Not a real category but lotsa so called vegetarians make exceptions for fish.)
I wish I had some cherry juice. I loved, past tense, Cherry Juicy Juice. I stopped drinking it because they changed the formula and it has less cherry flavor. The company didn't dispute my accusation. All they did was apologize and told me to keep drinking it and sent me a coupon for a free bottle. Fishy, eh? I thought so too. So, I started buying the generic version of it (stop n' shop store brand) and it is very good. Good cherry flavor and loving the fact that it's 100% juice. This is a long entry. Sid is barking a little out of frustration. Yes, another toy has rolled under the couch. I have to take him out in a little while. Have a good eve all! Thanks for visiting.
