Living alone has its' pluses and minuses....I can watch what I want on television without having to compromise, watch 'chick-flick' after 'chick-flick' dvd and eat whatever and whenever I like....and then when it comes to eating a nutritious, decent meal.....well that's another matter entirely.
When LLF (long lost friend) was in my life I was always assured a few good meals....he would cook, portion it out in divided containers and deliver it to me....boy he was better than the Domino's man....all I had to do was say what I wanted and like magic it was delivered to my door (or actually, from my garage thru my laundry room). Even now I could really go for one of his fantastic Pepper Burgers.....each patty was about 1/2 lb. of beef with an indentation in the middle filled with black pepper. The secret, he would say, is not to press down on the burger as it's cooking....that way all the good juices would remain in the patty....and on the side, always sauteed onions (in butter)! I would gladly give any important body part to have his delivery service once again.
Ahh.....when I dream about his cooking, my mouth begins to water....just like Pavlov's dog and I don't even need to hear a bell....
So even though I can do what I want, when I want and watch what I want, the only cooking I seem to be doing lately is taking the plastic wrap off a bag of microwave popcorn, putting the bag in my microwave and hitting the 'Popcorn' button....Dinner? Maybe. Vegetable? Doubtful....
So, LLF, do ya think you could swing by this weekend with a couple of burgers???? I'll gladly share one of my 'Little Debbie Swiss Rolls' with you for dessert....
