When I was visiting with P's grandma the other evening, we were talking about food and cooking while preparing our evening meal. During this conversation she asked me, "What meat did you have for dinner?"
Now, to properly answer this question, you have to understand the order meals are eaten here. Breakfast is around 8am, Dinner is served near noon, occasionally there is a snack called "Lunch" in the late afternoon, Super is around 6:30pm, and "Bed Lunch" is bed-time snack. That's sitting down to eat 5 times a day! P and I have been fairly successful at eating something for all of these meals, and meanwhile, loosing a couple pounds...or 15lbs if your name starts with the letter P. But I digress. Meat for dinner, meaning....What meat did I have for lunch?
The question also clearly communicates that you cannot have a meal without a proper serving of meat when on the Great Plains; meat is what makes the meal. And we're definitely getting our portion of protein out here (which brings up the topic of meat consumption, but I'll save that for some other entry). Well, to answer the question, we had Indiana Swiss Steak, which P's mom made. It was delicious, and then we finished with cookies and tea.

Such a funny observation. Paul has really lost 15 lbs?! I feel like I should have noticed and said something. Oops!
ReplyDeleteI'm from Indiana and I've never heard of Indiana Swiss Steak. Just what is it? I suppose it's like we all know (here in northern Indiana) what a "Michigan basement" is, but those in Michigan don't.
ReplyDeletePeople never believe me when I tell them about the "lunches." Bed-lunch. That's just a good thing to have in your vocabulary.
