I've never heard of Italian Beef either, but now I want some.

After describing it, I do too. I may have to make a stop on the way home from work tomorrow.

(ETA: Don't you just hate seeing a typo immediately after you hit the "post" button?)

How do they cook the meat, Kalshane? If it's thrown down on a griddle-thing (griddle isn't quite the right word, but I can't think of the real one) and cooked in front of you, it sounds like a close cousin to a cheesesteak. Otherwise, it sounds like a fancy roast beef sandwich. Either way, it sounds yummy.

I'd really like to have a proper cheesesteak again one of these days. I don't get quite as nostalgic for them as I do Alabama barbecue, nor even a proper Italian hoagie NOT from a Subway or Quizno's, but they're still good stuff.

Sure, I get home and everyone else goes to bed.

Guess I'll just go stack some cats.

Kalshane, Italian Beef is a Chicago specialty.

It's very yum, though. You can get a knockoff at Quiznos incidentally.

love brussel sprouts - and although there is a relationship to cabbage, they are different.

never tried raw beef, otherwise I pretty much like everything people mentioned to eat. Even stuff I haven't had.

it took me way to long to figure out the different clicks.

Anyone can learn to program, but not everyone can be a programmer. You should authentically enjoy the work if you're going to prosper in a career as a programmer."

this was the conclusion of everyone in my one programming class.

DH ( whom I admit is brilliant) does not have as CS degree. However he took advanced math classes and some programming. He ( along with his brother in the middle ) has a brain that seems to be wired like a data base - except without the limitations. his BA is in hisory - His masters is in English with an emphasis in linguististic. Even with programming languaes he doesn't know - he can often see problems because he recognizes things like never ending loops - etc. When he worked for a buy out firm the partners had him read legal contracts to find things like loop holes. He is a senior sys. amin ( UNIX) . did I mention he is brilliant?

I've finally grown into liking asparagus. But it took a while.

I'm a weirdly picky eater.

Lee. don't stack cats. pay attention to us!

I make brussels sprouts so they are crispy and greasy and salty. Like popcorn with vitamins. Mmmmmm.

I stacked many , many cats. now must go to bed so I can go to jury duty and be a happy and bright cittizen.

I think I've only had Brussel sprouts once when I was a kid.

It qualifies as food I didn't like enough to try again.
