Jersey Cheesesteak



Move over Pat, Geno, Tony, and Jim.  Jersey cheesesteaks rule
with (not wit) onions, jalapenos, Brie, and Stilton. Now this is a
cheesesteak I'd stand in line for!

A List



Travel list from a couple of thanksgivings ago.
A couple of prep items, and then the packing list.
Reading glasses, not wine glasses.
When we go to Riverside, cigars are not needed to bring;
they're placed on our pillows.

topped with diced grilled zucchini and tomato

Oh Geeze, Fish taco.

hummus, and sour cream.  I coulda eaten the onions rings alone
