I Never Wanna Leave This World, Without Saying I Love You

Dry Rubbed Pan-Fried Pork Chops with sauteed cabbage 

Again, a very simple meal, low on carbs but high on flavor.  Sauteed cabbage with onions and garlic is much better than I ever expect and I have it all the time.  Dressed with Asian flavors or apple and carrots or like this time, simply with salt and pepper and a splash of balsamic vinegar to finish.  Roasted, raw or sauteed, this over-looked but highly nutritious lady is a surprise giver.  And so far, still a very inexpensive bang for your buck.

I'm going out on a limb to say of all the boring, pale vegetables, I think I love cabbage the best.

Want You to Know You Shaped This Heart of Mine

Diner BBLT - Burger Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato

Having essentially a bacon burger on toast gives happy old school diner vibes to an interesting time of lunch meals with music buyers and friends at the Evergreen Diner in Times Square back in my record store days.  A place for the locals instead of tourists and male waiters that never wrote anything down even for a party of 8.  A magical space where time stood still in mostly good ways.  I mean you wouldn't want to go the the bathroom or look too closely at the kitchen but they all still considered this a legitimate job.  These grown men had full lives as evident in their faraway eyes as they smoked cheap cigarettes down to the end right outside of the front entrance before squashing the butt on the sidewalk with their shoe like bad ideas.  A place to be remembered.  Nothing was great, but everything was just right.
