I donât live in Upstate NY but Iâve been known to visit âthe areaâ (it is hilarious how big an area âUpstate NYâ is). Thereâs a pretty solid pizza place in Oriskany Falls, Marioâs. Totally different style, but I have been known to eat a few pieces from Scootz (OâScugnizzo) in Utica too.
Some great pizza up there, but when the New Haven apizza classics are on their a-game they are near impossible to beat.
I often enjoy your posts due to our shared dietary habits. Man I miss a good Gobi 65. Gotta love the Chinese-Indian fusion dishes.
best pizza i ever had was from niagara falls, NY. the place was a ghost town at the beginning of january and it was one of the only things open. just a meat lovers pizza but it was amazing. it probably didnât hurt that we were starving while looking for something to eat.
I think you are starting to make these days up now lol.
Last night was meat dayâŚ
ManâŚwish I had a Big Turk or a frozen Charleston ChewâŚor a frozen Big Turk
Thatâs tooo funny we made clam chowder last night !?
A winter weekend favorite; frozen waffles, cinnamon, blueberries, and syrup, with Applewood smoked bacon, and two organic free range eggs over medium. 
Last night I had the âClassicâ Burger from a local eatery. It was good, but not particularly classic in my view. I mean, I was born in 1950. Hamburgers were becoming the great American dish. First, it was a cheeseburger, not a classic hamburger, but I knew what I was ordering. Then there was bacon, which I loved, but again not classic. Finally, it had grilled onions. What home cook in the 1950s or likely even well into the 1960s grilled onions to put on their burger? No. A hefty slice of freshly cut onion, white, yellow or red. Okay, rant over. The burger was good and so were the fries.
I didnât quite finish the burger, so the meaty/cheesy/grilled oniony parts went into a breakfast scramble that also included a little piece of rib eye from the other night, plus tomato and cheddar. That sourdough toast. It was delicious.
Dinner tonight was another cheeseburger, this one home built. Thatâs sharp cheddar.
I started prepping for tomorrow nightâs dinner too. All hail, Caesar Cardiniâs salad! 
Happy National Strawberry Day FolksâŚ
Not what anybody is eating today, but I thought there might be some interest in seeing this.
Haha, I lived in Liberty for a few years, loved it
Even though I gave up partying for Lent I still go to the bars and hang out with my farmer/rancher buddies who grow my strains, they still try and buy me drinks but I refuse them, I have a very strong will powerâŚAnyway, one of the rancherâs said he had these for meâŚthese are worth over $250 in retail stores nowadaysâŚ
My current favorite meal is also easy to make. I dry brine bone in skin on chicken with a homemade seasoning blend. As i was handling raw chicken I donât have any pictures for step by step, but itâs just coat chicken under the skin and on the outside of the skin too. Then set on a rack placed in a baking tray and set in the fridge for 24h. You can go longer, but less is not recommended. The time lets it flavor the meat down to the bone.
I use garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sugar, salt, mushroom powder, fennel seed, rosemary, thyme, dill, oregano, sweet marjoram, msg, and hot pepper flakes. I use an electric spice grinder to turn the mix into a powder. When seasoning coat liberally. Donât worry if itâs caked on a bit. You can always brush off excess before cooking.
TL;DR pat dry chicken. season drums, flats, or legs in a salt and sugar based seasoning you like the flavor of both under the skin and on skin. Then set on a rack placed in a baking tray. Leave in the fridge for 24 hours and then cook in the oven for crispy skin and flavor to the bone.
Not sure how many of you guys use flashfoodsâŚbut I save a shitload of money shopping on that app. Basement freezer is full of meat.
Have been scooping up tons of the produce boxes. $5 for a bunch of mixed fruits and veggies. Spent about $30 on these boxes over 2 days and have enough fruit and veg for 30 days.
Recent score. $5 for a bag of avocados, a bunch of green onion, a bunch of asparagus, apples, oranges, peaches, potatoes, onions, parsley, etcâŚthats just one box!
