Didn't realize Jersey Mike's is that big of an outfit MJP.... Can't say I've ever had one, as we have a couple great local places, Milano's and The Sub House here. I like subs, but skip the bell peppers.
My contribution to the Souper Chili bowl is going to be some shredded barbecue beef. As you realize- all you need is a crock pot, prep time 5 minutes, tossing a three pound chuck roast in with assorted ingredients, set on low and forget about it for 8 hours.
Wife wants me to make a (small) batch of our stuffed mushrooms- that's a little more involved. Sautéing the destemmed 'shrooms in butter and crushed garlic, with a little white pepper and added brandy... Then stuffing them with cream cheese with chives, top with bacon and Italian blend cheese, bake until cheese is melted.
There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth among the sizable Bengals contingent at our Super Bowl Party if they manage to lose. But they can drink heavily if that's the case.. this was from a previous Super Bowl extravaganza... MHO is it's the Bengals shaky o-line against Aaron Donald and the Rams D.
Just reviewing our older posts, Larry Jersey Mike's is really expanding right now they have about 2,000 outlets and have just started expanding on the West Coast. If they catch on out there the sky's the limit.
I like ours less than 2 miles from our house. And I really like their chocolate chip cookies and love their brownies........ often sold out.
Better than Jimmy Johns or Subway among many others.

Jimmy Johns is a joke mjp. Ditto Subway- (the McDonalds of subs)... Penn Station blows them out of the water, you get what you pay for. In my working years... We got saddled with a TSR who loved Jimmy Johns.. Freaky Fast, and Freaking mediocre. In my one trip to headquarters in Warren New Jersey.. They offered to drive me into NYC for dinner... On one condition... Peter Lugers. Sadly, unless you play for a NYC sports team, we can get you a reservation in three weeks.
Um... Jimmy Johns on YOUR corporate nickel isn't my idea of a decent dinner.

need some good coffee to go with all these food ideas.
I got rid of our coffee maker bout 3 years ago. I cook up cowboy coffee - friends really think it's great.
...a stainless steel one for in the house, and a high quality stainless steel mini-perc one we bought at
a great well-known frontier mini-mall place in S. Dakota called "Wall Drug". Rarely does any place serve coffee this good, imho:
-
∆ interesting and informative read from Cal on the above "How to Make Cowboy Coffee" video, I ended up watching the whole 14:34 on it.
Reminds me of cooking on a real authentic wood stove in the fall or winter at scout camp -but- it would apply to the campground, backyard or in your kitchen.
And almost everyone likes coffee either by itself or with a meal. Check it out. ✓

Wow that's a real hearty breakfast ! I'm not sure about the salsa but I would try it.
I've always believed that breakfast is a great way to start the day....... especially for a hard working man. And of course with some cowboy coffee.

especially if i mix in a beer lol
Any time is a good time for beer. I don't drink anymore because when I started to take that attitude with Bourbon my liver started to revolt. When quitting alcohol became a reality, either by self choice or kicking the bucket, the choice became easy. I am happy to report all the liver functions are back in the good range. It's been 18 months since I had any alcohol.
I miss it sometimes, but I don't miss being sick so it is what it is. I like to talk about it from time to time because it helps. Thanks.

With the weather this year we had a bumper crop of my wife's herbs, we would cut them back and they kept growing back. We were giving whole branches and even a few plants away to anyone who wanted them. Now on to Saturday's GAMEDAY MEAL with a few leftovers for today.
The wife got chicken thighs, skinned them, dried thouroughly, dipped in a Grey Poupon mustard and melted butter dip, coated in panko breadding, added more dip on top to get crunchy and just enough of her homemade and dried herbs......in the oven about 35 minutes. Fantastic! (May do recipe if anyone is interested.)
She made a risotto with a creamed asparagus and herb mix. (She makes her own herb mixes out of various combinations like the store bought rubs. And not a fortune!) Now I'm not a big rice guy but it was great!
Her oven roasted carrots as a side, always good. Apple pie ala mode for desert.
Chicken thighs and risotto tonight's snack. Ummmmmm.

One more from August 20, 2019 I want to save along with the taco tomato variation.
A cheeseburger without the bun. I also like an occasional tomato sandwich especially in tomato season.

LOL, Port, the Breakfast of Champions. 1\2 kidding 'Peen.
You've obviously made the right choice... Many don't, until it's too late. In my hospital years I saw many poor souls exhibiting varying shades of canary yellow to darker orange skin (with matching yellow eyeballs) in end stage liver failure. One of my relatives didn't make it to 40... Travelling Mac Tool salesman with a case of Seagram's in the van always handy.
I suppose I should consider myself lucky as my liver enzymes have always been normal. Don't ask me how. But at my age, that pile of empty calories every week has ballooned my weight to a level it shouldn't be at. What concerns me is some of our wine group (to my mind) have gone on an unhealthy Bourbon kick. Visiting distilleries in Kentucky and buying an entire barrel of bourbon that they've personally selected. Unless they're giving a lot of it away, I can't imagine how you could slam down 6-8 bottles in short order. Yeah, I've bought bottles of the boutique stuff they've offered, but now I certainly have a lifetime supply of high octane bourbon in the Wine Cellar. Oh, I get ragged on being a wimp for putting my Bourbon on the rocks... But I plain can't understand how these guys find sipping 124 proof cask strength bourbon straight enjoyable in any way shape or form...

A lot of truth in what you say there Larry -and- there are also hereditary factors that play into this subject. Some old geezers can drink daily well into their 80s or whatever.
I've always thought whether it's eating, drinking know your limits and do it in moderation. Now cigarette smoking is another matter especially if you like to inhale bad business ! In the last job I had 3 guys in our office were smokers all gone from 63, 68 and the one who quit later 72.
I've smoked premium cigars since I was 18 but I never inhaled ! I'm 71 now and have NO heart, lung or any other problems there. And premium cigars are 100% tobacco not some of the non tobacco junk in cheap cigars and cigarettes.
SO eat well, exercise whenever you can and drink whatever beverages you like in some moderation........... before some doctor has to read you the riot act.
And bon appetit have a good meal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TODAY'S MENU -. brunch, V-8, chopped up and seasoned avocados ? on buttered toasted rye bread open face sandwiches plus black olives. It was really good.
Supper tonight - all leftover from yesterday and it was delicious ! I wanted a ◆ cucumber salad ◆ but it was starting to go bad so the wife whipped up some zucchini and chopped up white onions (or red) and the usual dressing mayonnaise, sour cream. Mix well and salt and pepper to taste chill before serving mmm-mmm.
Main meal some ◆ STUFFED RED PEPPERS ◆ ? OMG ! With a few dollups of sour cream if you want, same with a few squirts of hot sauce.
I can't wait.
