Well, you've read the notes, the notes were like the corners of my mind and had memories, and now it is time for you to post until the corner cows come home.

Deli food:
Coleslaw
New pickles when I can find tbem
Rye bread
Challah
A sandwich on the above bread

My favorite sandwich is not vegetarian  :-\

It is a turkey sandwich with mayo & lettuce.  Even better than lettuce is good coleslaw.

We have a rainy day, which could be a problem getting to and from City Center.  Since becoming a gimp, I cannot accommodate a cane, umbrella, and bag, so it means I will be wet - hopefully not soaking wet - most of the day.

T.O.D.

One thing I definitely miss about Los Angeles is the delis. 

Yes, they have delis here in Austin, but they're not the same.

I sometimes think it would almost be worth enduring a 3 hour flight to Los Angeles (and back) to have a corned beef/pastrami sandwich at Canter's.

TOD

The main event for me is always the pastrami (or occasionally an alternate deli meat), but it doesn’t stand alone. It’s the whole picture:  the pickles, the sandwich, the cole slaw... and the vibe. Very important, that vibe.

TOD:
Bagels, lox, and cream cheese
Matzo ball soup
Title: Re: MEMORIES, LIKE THE CORNERS OF MY MIND
Post by: ChasSmith on June 25, 2019, 07:15:46 AM
I rarely think to have soup, and I should. But that lox & bagel would be a major alternate type of meal for me. I'm afraid I haven't had it in years.

The one place for it that stands out in my memory is Factor's. During the year that I was living in my friend's condo two blocks south (Beverly Dr. at Cashio), it became a regular thing to walk up there for one piled high. My standard is lox, cream cheese, slice of onion, slice of tomato, capers.

That, friends, is as much a mouth-gasming sensation as a great pastrami with thousand and slaw.

If the TOD means one food, that would be matzoh ball soup.

Strangely, when a collaborator Ellen Schwartz would order from Artie's Deli, the cheese blintzes were always great, even extraordinary.  But I had them in person with the group before an HHW event at the Triad, and that night they were blah and ordinary. 
Title: Re: MEMORIES, LIKE THE CORNERS OF MY MIND
Post by: FJL on June 25, 2019, 07:49:09 AM
 If that were what they were like the first time I went to Artie's, I might never have gone back.  But the next time, I made a point of saying how great they were when my collaborator had ordered in, and they were great again.  (They don't care anyway, because they're gone now.  But I wonder if some restaurants don't quite get that a bad dish can lose them a customer for good.)

Boy, this has me craving deli food, and it’s just another sad reminder of our lack of a real deli in this town. I say “real” because there might be a fake (imitation or chain) one somewhere around here, and I’m afraid that doesn’t count.

I could probably find happiness without going all the way into the city, by going to one of the really great diners where decent deli foodstuffs are found among the other thousands of wonderful offerings. However... my local diners, as good as they are, aren’t places I’d go for deli. And once I got to the closer-to-town diners that do enjoy that level of sophistication, I’d be in an area that also has delis. So there you go.
Title: Re: MEMORIES, LIKE THE CORNERS OF MY MIND
Post by: ChasSmith on June 25, 2019, 08:19:43 AM
As it happens, FJL, my first ever deli food was cheese blintzes. For what it’s worth, I always ordered the blueberry, and I remember it was in precisely those same years that I had “discovered” and become enamored of blueberries in preserves and such.

Went back out to the garage and did more stuff and found more stuff, so that's good - but NOT the tapes from the hall closet - very disturbing, actually.  Still a couple of boxes to go through, but once they get this shelving unit out it will be completely clear in there and I've almost got everything on shelves now so I'll be able to find stuff, I should think.

So, last night, I watched the extras on The Guardians, including an interview with the director, Xavier Beauvois. Tonight's feature, Claire Denis's Let the Sunshine In, begins with a lengthy sex scene featuring Beauvois and Juliette Binoche. Rather disconcerting. And his character in this film is a real ass. He plays it well.

I spoke with Mom. Dad did very well despite being 91 and dealing with anesthesia. The doctor was pleased with the result, which she couldn't understand. But then, she never could understand anything a doctor or anybody else ever said to her about anything medical at all. In the past, she would tell us friends were in the hospital dying and they were actually there for something like a kidney stone, while other friends who had heart attacks were in the hospital for nothing, in her book.

Back from a patty melt and side Caesar salad, picking up a package, and straightening out stuff at the bank - I got about four conflicting things from them this morning, so it's all worked out and fine now - more than fine.

No deli food?

Until I was 17 I often ordered chopped liver on rye bread, especially if we went to Junior's deli.  Then I tasted Keith's mother's incredible homemade chopped liver and could never eat any other again.

Finished with my viewing, and listening to music.  I went to Gelson's and got two chicken tenders, a bit of mac-and-cheese, and some toasted coconut chip ice cream, which I'm about to eat and why not.

Well, my dad called and asked if I could come over and figure out why the headphones that he uses for his TV don't work.  He's been losing his hearing and these help.  And he just changed the batteries, so I'll have to troubleshoot.

Be back later.

Well, my dad's headphones bit the dust.

I got these headphones (used) probably 10 years before I moved into my condo, and that was almost 13 years ago!
