What if you're driving and there's no toilet in your car and there's a strip mall on a parallel road but it's on the other side of the street? Do you still have to go?

Say what!!?? Let fools enjoy the DVD's. Intelligent drivers choose other, more important options. Check! And be safe on either side of the road.


p.s. watch out, they get you with the tp dispenser.

grilled pork tenderloin chops with a maple glaze

Grilled med. rare lamb chops with a nice Rioja.

Just found out my friend is cooking us Smoked pork shoulders, loin and sausage. MMMMMMMMM!!!

Bathroom humor in a food thread..very "unholy"

Over the weekend:

Sauteed tilapia in a piccata style sauce with some different chards and sauv blancs, the best of which was an '01 CSJ Durell Vineyard.

Grilled rib eyes with a few cabs, the best of which was an '02 Ruston Rutherford.

Mostaccioli in a meat sauce. Had it with one of the cabs from the night before (Shadow Canyon). I found it to be very light, with some tart cherry notes. It was pretty good...

Since it was too cold to sit outside and enjoy Pat's this weekend after the Philly '97 BdM Offline, last night we had Homemade 'Whiz With'. YUM!

Yum. Cheeze Wiz!! Crackin' me up!!

Last night, healthy lentil soup with 15 grain bread.

Yup... the only way to have one!!!

As I was trying to tell futronic, I don't doubt that seasoned beef and aged sharp provolone tastes better. However, if you want an original, true, Philly cheese steak, it's got to be grease-laden beef and onions with Cheese Whiz.

Not everything has to be gourmet. And, as they say, when in Rome...

mwagner7700,
What kind of cut do you use for this whiz with?

Do we have to eat outside to be a true "Roman?"

OK, next time we go to Pat's. That is unless the Canadian contingent moves this event north of the border. Then we'll be eating smoked meat sandwiches (I think that's what steve8 called them.) Probably have to eat those on mooseback....

We just get that box of frozen pre-sliced sirloin from Costco. Do you know which I'm talking about? Texas something-or-other, I believe. I'll check tonight. You can use any cut of meat, but if you don't use ore-sliced, you need the meat to be as thin as possible... impossible with a knife, you'll need a meat slicer (like your butcher has). They're very easy to make, and very tasty. If you want my recipe, just let me know.

I'm saying to be Roman, we need to eat a Whiz With. When we do it next year, we'll have to make it later in the year, so the colder weather won't prevent us from having Pat's.

I'm out...I don't have a meat slicer

You can just run over it with your car to get it nice and flat.

Neither do we. When you go to Costco next, check out the frozen food section where they have the hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie patties, etc. There you'll find the pre-sliced frozen sirloin patties that we use. As I said, I'll check the name when I get home tonight.

You can run the meat through a blender.

Eye Round Roast

Paired great with the 94' La Nerthe CdP we had.

I will tell everyone else how to do it, as you will mess it up and post about it 25 times. Just pay attention, and ask no direct questions and read the disclaimer at the bottom of your screen. You know the one that says " do not try this at home, these are highly trained professionals.".... Stay away from the light.....


Pat's uses ribeyes. And the way they do it is to put the meat in the freezer just till it gets set but not frozen. Then you can take a sharp knife and slice it super thin before you cook it. Saute the onions till they get translucent then toss the thin steak in and let it cook with the onion till its done and the onions take on the steak juices. Get a couple of soft Philly rolls, wipe them with some cheese whiz, then pile on the onions and beef. Thats as close as you can get to Pat's without a plane ticket. I make one for my wife whenver she is craving a real " Cheese Wit"

I like the place across the street better with the provolone myself.

who are you....john kerry

flubis, you can get provolone at Pat's... just order a "Provolone with"... not a "Whiz With"

Last night I made...

Saltimbocca alla Romana (chicken, not veal)

4 chicken cutlets (or veal)
1 bunch of spinach
8 thin slices of prosciutto
8 slices provolone
1/3 cup white wine
2/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 tblspn butter
drizzle EVOO
8 toothpicks

- Make sure you have thin cutlets... I'm talking 1/8"-1/4". On top of each cutlet, place a few leaves of spinach, and top with 2 thin slices of prosciutto. Fasten prosciutto to cutlets with 1 toothpick at the top, and one at the bottom.
- Add EVOO to preheated pan (don't use non-stick, you'll want bits stuck to the bottom), and 1 tblspn of butter over med-high heat.
- Saute cutlets, prosciutto side down first for approx. 2 mins. Flip and sauté until done... about another 2-3 mins. Remove to a warm plate, and remove tooth
