because I've been traveling . . . through time. However my flux capacitor looks to be damaged as I've slungshot into May, 2009. The good news is I have eaten food since being away so I am not starved for nutrients, nourishment, or Nabisco Shredded Wheat (the worst cereal in history: can it even be called a cereal?).
First thing's first. One of my favorite lunch trucks in midtown is Papa Perrone's. He has these great Italian rice balls for about $5 that really stuff you up. They contain rice, ground beef, peas, and cheese. For an extra buck you can get parm over it. "Parm", for the culinary illiterate is "parmigiana sauce". However the last time I went to the truck I bypassed the rice ball in lieu of a fat sandwich: a chicken cutlet, mozzarella sticks, french fries, and parm on garlic bread. I feel like I'm missing an ingredient here . . . oh yea, a shitload of cholestrol. I'll leave this monstrosity to your imagination, along with these couple pictures. I only hate half this thing, as it began to come out the other end; my body rejected the fried gloriousness of this sandwich, and I am actually glad it did. Otherwise, I would not be here writing this because eating the entire thing would have induced a heart attack.
One of my favorite meals is a simple recipe. It's actually more of a few things you throw in together. All you have to do is make white rice, a couple over-medium/over-easy/over-hard/poached/scrambled (whatever style you like) eggs, and, the greatest thing ever, bacon. Personally, I enjoy over-easy or over-medium eggs so that the runny yolk dribbles over the white rice and makes it yellow rice. It's the opposite of what happens to a chicken. Then top it off with a lot of bacon. Voila! A great meal that will cost you no more than $6 for 4-5 servings. Now those are the components for a great dinner party!
I ate some other great things in my time travels, but I am now lazy. Maybe I'll write again in a month. Happy Memorial Day!
