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.

Great pictures in the notes, BK!

Topic of the Day:

I've never been to an actual deli.

But now, I must get some sleep.

Have a good day, all!

No cold vibes for DR TCB!

Jane · « **Reply #7 on:** June 25, 2019, 03:13:24 AM »

I hope everyone is sleeping.

I enjoyed the notes and photos. Bruce I especially like the photo of you in the cap.

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

Jane · « **Reply #10 on:** June 25, 2019, 04:18:45 AM »

My favorite sandwich is not vegetarian $:-\$

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

Good morning, all!

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.

Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #18 on:** June 25, 2019, 06:25:05 AM »

What a great collection of photos. Please keep them coming. I was especially interested in the Stop the World / Roar of the Greasepaint ones — but that’s not to choose favorites, they’re all fascinating.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #19 on:** June 25, 2019, 06:30:07 AM »

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.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #20 on:** June 25, 2019, 06:33:16 AM »

Well, it’s “Classics Tuesday” again. This evening I’m going to see MIDNIGHT COWBOY on the big screen at the wonderful Bedford Playhouse.

TOD:
Bagels, lox, and cream cheese
Matzo ball soup

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 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.

Such lovely photos and memories in the notes.....thanks to MR BK for sharing them.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 25, 2019, 07:28:26 AM »

I like potato salad and roast beef and pickles!

FJL · « **Reply #25 on:** June 25, 2019, 07:41:04 AM »

Now that's what I call a super-special Notes column!

FJL · « **Reply #26 on:** June 25, 2019, 07:41:36 AM »

I hope to catch up on what I missed this weekend.

FJL · « **Reply #27 on:** June 25, 2019, 07:43:24 AM »

I see from my posts that it's less than two days - but it feels like longer.

FJL · « **Reply #28 on:** June 25, 2019, 07:47:57 AM »

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.

FJL · « **Reply #29 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.)
