Just wanted to share a totally non-important "taste" of my life 
Yesterday after a day of shoveling out, watching movies, enjoying a nap, my mind was obviously not functioning. At 4:50pm I asked Michael "What would you like for supper?" thinking of the leftover venison chili, the 2 pork steaks, an easy pizza. In the back of my befuddled mind I even hoped for a response that included the word "restaurant". Alas, 'twas not to be.
"You know what I've REALLY had a taste for lately? Corned beef! With the cabbage and potatoes. Yeah. That would be great!" said Micheal, who then went back to surfing the net.
SIGH :x
I really try to honor his requests when I can. Micheal doesn't ask for much, and is really easy going...particularly with food. (His mother was not exactly a great cook. A lot of fish sticks and strange sounding casseroles. She doesn't like to mess around with spices and stuff. Salt and pepper is enough, but pepper is expensive, and salt is bad for you so.... :roll: ) Michael will eat just about anything and never complain. But lordy...Corned Beef in an hour without having a beef, or cabbage, in the house? hmmmm.....
Off to the store I went. Went to the deli and bought 1/2# sliced corned beef.($3.47) Then a can of bavarian style saur kraut ($.69). A bag of Tater Tots (and a couple other things that I wanted for the pantry anyway).
SO! An hour later we had his Corned beef and Cabbage! .... Just not in the form he was thinking about Reuben sandwiches! on homemade pumpernickel that I had in the freezer already, with thousand island dressing from the pantry, and the good yummy swiss cheese from the dairy/cheese maker in Monroe. (gooooood cheese) :up:
Dinner was a hit, one dish to clean, and no leftovers to worry about putting away! YAY!
On a side note, we haven't had Tater Tots in years. I'd forgotten how good they can be!
