New Year's Prime Rib Roast Hash Leftovers

[Elektrishun]

I live in the wealthiest area of Scarborough, but right next to the poorest area. The local grocery stores wont even put out a decent cut of any meat, it's like the send the garbage meat to our stores. Even the one in the heart of the wealthy hood. It all comes down to loss prevention.

I dont mind people who steal to eat, but stealing prime rib is not stealing to survive, it's stealing to resell.

The gist of it is, around here you have no choice but to go to the butcher with a massive mark up, or travel a ways to a decent grocery store to get a halfway decent cut of meat.

When I was young working way thru school in the early 80s I tried working in loss prevention for a while. One of the training stores I worked at was a grocery store at corner of Jane and Finch. My trainer was pretty lousy... he'd say "stay here" and run off to watch suspicious person leaving me know idea of what cues he was keying on to detect shoplifters. In a single day there would be at least 10 people caught trying to steal prime cuts of meat. one woman stuffed several roasts down her dress. Loss prevention would only catch a fraction of the thieves.

I quit, because when I worked the store alone I only managed to catch one minor about 14 stuffing multi pack of chocolate bars in her shirt during my shift. Talk about disheartening, like being in middle of an opal mine not being able to find opals

Well, nowadays you'd probably be a star loss prevention officer.

Try putting your hands on someone stealing today and there's a good chance you'd get in trouble.

Wow - that brings back memories!

I went to Cody and all those places with my wife and in-laws in about 3 B.K. (B.K. - before kids).
The main attraction was my father-in-law attending a poetry reading by a famous cowboy poet (can't remember his name).

And we musnt forget Cody's "Big Bubba's BBQ"...a life changing experience you will never forget. 3 items on the menu...Small Med or large order of BBQ and a large order requires 3 plates to hold it all!!!!

You guys are killing me, I need to shed a few pounds after the Christmas dinners, and those images aren't helping.

Enablers all of you;-)

I need to shed a few pounds after the Christmas dinners,

I actually lost weight this year. We only had one dinner here. The other meals were at my kids places. They all believe in eating "healthy". What kind of crap is that! I hate green stuff..... YUK!

I have a restaurant near me that doesn’t have small pizza’s just medium, large, and extra large. In my opinion it should be illegal to omit small for medium and should be classed as false advertising or bait and switch at least.

Around here, even large is small.

The best pizza in the whole world is in Windsor, Ontario.

A little place in Schio, Italy comes to mind . . .

I doubt it. Worst pizza in the world is in Italy. Go figure.

Anyway, every time they have a global pizza rating contest Windsor wins. Chicago is a close second though. Started by the same family.

I should do some research before I make statements like that. Seems my info is out dated and lots of places beat Windsor now. At least in the ratings. I took one look at the 2024 winner in New York and damn near puked. Looks horrible.

But I still get pizza every time we go to Windsor.
