Philly-style

Saturday, August 25, 2012~

Jason kept hearing about this place near us that supposedly had real Philly style cheese steaks. I'm always skeptical when restaurants claim that. Down here I had yet to encounter a true Philly style cheese steak. I've seen restaurants that claim they have them and then serve steak-ums in a hot dog bun or they have some weird tomato-base sauce on them or they've spiced the meat in a gyro sort of way or they use swiss cheese. They're just not right. Ever. And then we went to Delco's. First of all the bun is an Amorosa roll. That is THE Philly cheese steak bread. Use any other kind and it's not a Philly cheese steak. Now I prefer the meat Geno's style and not so ground up, but this meat was more like Pat's or Jim's, which is totally authentic and acceptable. The cheese and onions were mixed in with the meat, not put on top of the meat, but that's really just aesthetics. The flavor was really good! It's definitely the closest thing down here to a real Philly cheese steak. And the lady at the register was rude-ish so that was authentic too. We'll be back.

Food Day

Love having a freezer full of quick meals!

Had a great afternoon at Dinner Done with some friends today. It's the meal prep place that I happen to prefer. The only real drawback to places like this is that it's not cheap. For a family our size, we split the entrees so that makes it much more affordable. Tonight we had one of the entrees I made. It was steak stuffed with sun-dried tomato and spinach and then topped with adobo seasoning and feta cheese. Soooo yummy!

Easter Christian Traditions, continued... Today there aren't many traditions that all Christians do for Easter. It is known as Bright Saturday. A lot of churches do egg hunts, but this has no biblical basis. Often the egg is used to illustrate the 3 in 1 nature of the Trinity. Some more conservative groups oppose the practice as it is rooted in paganism. Some Catholic churches follow the Byzantine Rites for this day.
