So the tradition in our parts is that the one with the birthday(thats me today) gets to pick what we are having for dinner. It got me to thinking about what is my absolute favorite meal. I like a lot of different things, homemade lasagna, a great steak off the grill, even chili if the mood hits me. I will say that one of my favorites and the one I picked for tonight is what we call "meaties and rice" basically round steak cut into small cubes, dipped in a flour mixture and laid in the skillet. Followed by gravy made from the drippings of said steak. Gravy is poured over the rice. Lumpy real mashed potatoes can be used in place of the rice...but I like the rice. I am a simple man.
Maybe I like it because mom made it when I was a kid and my wife has perfected it(as good as mom use to make). Maybe its because you can hear your arteries harden as you eat every bite so I don't get to have it very often. I don't know but I sure do like it.
Anyway, if it were your birthday and you got to choose the meal, what would it be?
