Originally Posted By Inspector 57 We both worked all day. Then decided to go out to our favorite local family-owned, don't advertise-because-they-don't-have-to, neighborhood steakhouse.

But I had a burger deluxe with mushrooms and bleu cheese. Yum! The waffle fries were a perfectly delicious greasy accompaniment.
Originally Posted By avromark I just cooked a little simple meal for myself, nothing special Just some Goulash in a potato pancake with homemade creamy coleslaw (heh you know you're Canadian when the only coleslaw you know how to make is creamy), corn cuz it's in season, and had some store bought brownies for dessert. Lunch was even more simple, it was just Wieners and Beans, a nice hobo treat Single guys just can't eat well.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 Roast Beef, packed with fresh garlic, rosemary and thyme. Make gravy with juice of meat, flour and a bit of salt and pepper. Potatos and carrots are cut in chucks and put in a cooking bag with the roast and seasoning described above.
