Every morning Bradley Cooper has a boiled egg, and I slice it, oh and I have three of the slices for breakfast. The ones I had this morning were so good, but they are ones I left in the water too long and had a little darkness around the yolk. So, I remembered how my mother made hard boiled eggs. She put the eggs in water in a pot waited for them to boil. She then covered them and just let them sit, for up to an hour, until they cooled and put them in the fridge. So, that was my taste memory. I liked the taste better, because that ‘s what I remembered.
Then I had a sweet tea at a restaurant and I mentioned to the waiter that the tea was great! He said, that is so funny, it’s instant iced tea, Nestea. Okay then, that makes sense. Until sun tea came into fashion, this is the tea my mother made. She is not from the south.
But the one taste memory I do not like anymore is Stouffer’s Lasagna. The tomato sauce is cloyingly sweet and has no depth.
While at my parents home, for my Dad’s funeral. My sister and I were looking for photos of my Dad. She comes running upstairs with these photos with captions written on them and said, “Look what I found, I wrote these captions for these photos and it’s so funny!” I looked at them and said, “uh, I did that.”
I realize that is not a title that is intriguing, but I also know if you try to start, one day just one day, it then kinda becomes a habit and moves into more days.
Okay, so today I wanted to make a great healthier meatloaf. I got the recipe and the secret is mushrooms! You chop up 8 ounces of mushrooms. I put a little olive oil in a pan and half of a large onion, chopped, added carrots and celery, then the mushrooms. Cook all the water out. Mix some milk with panko, but I had panko with Italian seasoning and added two eggs. Some Worchester sauce and catsup into the mix and add a pound of turkey.
Bake it for 50 minutes at 400. I do something a little different, I add mashed potatoes all over it. It turned out great!
So, if you go get a burger and fried pickles one day out of the month, great, but then try this it really is great.
Lucky’s Burger and Brew opened in 2013, by Diane and Ernie Geyer and Lucky.There are 3 locations in Atlanta, Roswell, Brookhaven and Emory Village. I decided to visit the Emory Village location. I decided to try the fried pickles….They came out, a big basket of them. They were very good! Then, they have a lot of great looking burgers and salads and chicken sandwiches, I really wanted to have a burger, but their regular burgers are all 7 ounces and come with a side and a drink. I mean they looked great, just too much with the pickles. So, they have a 7 7 7 burger, 4 oz burger with fries and a drink. The burger was delicious. The fries were good.
The place is small and cozy with photos of Lucky all over the walls. It was very comfortable and my waiter was excellent! I will go back and try some other things. I forget how close I live to Emory. It is a beautiful campus and ever growing.
I let you know about some of the other places I try soon!
