Friday night sj's

My kitchen is a disaster! I cooked tonight. So I'm not surprised that my cooking area looks like a bomb has exploded. I figured it was coming I had been to the market a couple times during the week and picked up a few things that I would need to pull off the dinner for tonight. Sloppy joes one of my favorites. I've written about this in the past how sloppy joes was one of the first meals after fried eggs and spam that I learned to cook. Sloppy joes had like real ingredients one had to put together to make the concoction come out right and be able to spread Tastefully onto hamburger buns. I only wish now that I could cook sloppy joes the way that they tasted when I was 9 or 10 or whenever I learned to do this. I don't know if it was the green pepper or the onions or whatever or perhaps it was the brown sugar. Yes that's what I said brown sugar I still remember utilizing two or three tablespoons of brown sugar in the recipe that I use when I first started cooking later on when I would cook sloppy joe I really did not have access to brown sugar and in many cases brown sugar that was not as hard as a rock, lost to the back end or the back wall of the cupboard of the pantry. So maybe if that one ingredient was included perhaps I would have a dish tasting similar to the ones I remember from Days of old. But tonight I chopped up onions and the problem with that is that the onions that I had - - and I always do this - - was probably Way Beyond its usable date if there was one on these onions Golden onions or whatever. They were getting soft in the middle that's for sure which means I'd let another onion go bad which I hate to do but I skinned enough usable onion out of that I think to season the meat. The green pepper I got last week and when it was beautiful and round and curvaceous that was last week now it's beginning to implode on itself as the moisture seeps out one day at a time. It's great that I was able to carve up the green Beast at least for a few seasoning pieces. Perhaps, I'll be motivated this weekend maybe to chop up some more green pepper for breakfast eggs I love green pepper in my eggs in the morning. So now I'm waiting for the sloppy joe mix this cool down to the point that I can make further sloppy joes and figure out a way to put them in the refrigerator to eat during this weekend or parts of next week if they last that long. It's only a pound of hamburger so it's not going to be that much and I certainly like to have them available at a moment's notice. I usually try to find a plastic container big enough to hold three or four burgers and then just keep it in the refrigerator at close hand that I can dip into it sometimes before I leave the house in the morning or when I come back from a day out on the tracks or the bus system. Either way I'll enjoy the sloppy joes to the max
