BUTTERFINGER PEANUT BUTTER CUP EGGS - "Another box of BUTTAH PINGAH !!!"

The Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cup Egg garners a post on here just for the mere fact that I have probably purchased 8 packages thus far and the 2016 run looks to be over.

6 one ounce Eggs per package.

Spotted while Food shopping at La Bella Marketplace on the 2 FOR $6.00 Leftover Easter Candy shelf I bought 2 packages, then another 2 and so on as the weeks passed by. They have in that time been further marked down (but not advertised to my chagrin) to a stunning 99 cents per pack and I just a few days ago acquired what looked to be the last 2 bundles.

So thats about 48 Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cup Eggs in all.
as of this update (7/27/16) 11 Eggs remain yet the expiration date is still - months in advance being in November.

Since all health minded people scarf down Candy this is a helpful reminder of the calories within (sarcasm abounds).

Its what it says it is and is mouth waveringly scrumptious when in the mood for sweets.

GREEN IS THE COLOUR - The Green Italian Sandwich Veggie Condiment

Being a fan for decades now and finally deciding to concoct it on my own today is the Green Italian Sandwich Veggie Condiment. 

This photo of a Lioni's Hero Sandwich set me off on my endeavor.

What happened today was influenced Almost Completely Inherent of the Bay Leaf upon previous visual inspection and Gustatory perception I went the opposite and possibly wrong direction on my maiden voyage with a bag of Spinach Leaves as my base Ingredient but this is where experimentation and Palate tweaking within Recipes are found and abound.

Bag of Dole Spinach Leaves.

Chop and Dice so as to make a Sandwich Topping.

They do get Spinachy Soggy after a day or two but are still Delicious and Cristina loved them.

My brainstorming began wanting Greens with Balsamic Vinegar then I realized it needed some Olive Oil to compliment then in a Eureka moment decided to add a drop of Sesame Oil, well I may have added two drops as the Sesame Oil overpowered the damn thing but no one complained, Delicious.

A gratuitous photo of my groceries of the day (from noon clockwise).

Balsamic Vinegar, home made Bruschetta, 2 soft Loaves, Cold Cuts of a varying nature, Cubed Sharp Provolone and a can of Cento Italian Tuna.

TONY'S PIZZERIA lll 5/27/16 Brooklyn, New York

So, my trek to sample every Slice that Tony's has to offer might be dwindling in everyday terms but this is somewhat of a pessimistic outlook, on the optimistic side,... WELL

I have yet to try a "Roll" or "Hero" from Tony's nor have I had a Pasta, Salad or Dinner Dishes as to me those are more "Home made" deliberations but I do bet Tony's makes a Mean Chicken Roll (as does my untried Frank & Sals) and I do look forward to my graduation in this area.

I will be venturing to Tony's in about six hours hence* in full knowledge that a White Slice and a Pepperoni Slice have yet to be procured.

* - it wound up being a Lasagna Slice tonight (6/15) for the strict reason of HOW COULD I PASS IT UP, they don't always have them (see entry ll for Lasagna Slice review).

5/27/16 - White Slice with Broccoli ($3.50) - This was an "extra" slice purchased on a Friday as opposed to our usual Wednesday sojourn. All that can be said is an exceptional White Slice with the addition of plain Broccoli (why Broccoli Rabe is not rampant in Pizzerias is beyond me) which makes a nice summer slice.

6/1/16 - Vodka Square ($3.50) - There was nothing negative about this yet I was nonplussed (actually the crust on the underbelly was overdone) but all the ingredients were in attendance and Delicious. Vodka Sauce, Mozzarella and a Drizzle of Olive Oil sprinkled with Basil. I am sampling all of my Slices "virgin style" but this would have been perfectly amped up with some Red Pepper or Garlic.

6/8/16 - The Carbonara Slice ($3.50) - And so it came to pass that the day finally happened (and I almost missed it as the Carbonara Slice was sharing a Pizza tray with some Bacon Ranch Slices that have a very similar look) that I bagged me an elusive Carbonara Slice.

Being a weekly regular customer and no stranger to small talk I had previously been recommended this Slice by the counterperson but kept missing it even after questioning on wether the Carbonara Slice was a frequented denizen of a particular day of the week to which the reply was "They just make it whenever they feel like it".

Knowing the wonders of Carbonara Sauce due to my proximity to Chef Sean and Chef Joe in years past I was indeed intrigued. Carbonara Sauce to my remembrance being Heavy Cream, Butter, Peas, BACON and possibly Sauteed Onions and/or Mushrooms.

Tony's Carbonara Slice was well worth the wait topped with Mozz, Bacon, EVOO and a Cream Sauce. No Peas but maybe some Butter and Boy Am I Not Complaining. Delicious.

6/15/16 - Got another Lasagna Slice, too good to pass up.

6/28/16 - The Pepperoni Slice -  This is indeed a Pepperoni Slice but a Damn Good One.

July 2016 - Cristina and I ordered for delivery from Tony's one night and this was achieved. Cristina got a Grilled Chicken Salad of which I have no photo of I am quite surprised but I had been "jonesing" for a Philly Cheesesteak Hero or "Roll", they didn't have the Rolls at that moment so I ordered a Hero which was just absolutely Excellent, I cannot sing their praises enough.

7/27/16 - Mushroom Pepperoni Slice -  I keep frequenting them wanting a "Roll" or even a "Beef Pattie" but the Pizza Slices constantly appear consisting of a different variation and I find it impossible to deny the experience.

As has been the climate on these entries not much to elaborate on.

A Brilliant Slice from Tony's topped with Pepperoni and Mushroom.

8/3/16 - Spinach Slice (thick crust) -  Done in the style of the most formidable Eggplant Slice on a thick Crust but this was a Spinach Slice.

SILVER STAR RESTAURANT 6/6/16 Brooklyn, New York

And a bed of Crispy Noodles to you sir.

Nothing new was sampled on this trip to Silver Star but I like to Pepper this here Food Blog several times a year with an entry here and there from one of my most favorite places. 

So far as newness goes, Cristina sampled some House Mustard on a Crispy Noodle and loved it,... told her so.

Not to stray from the subject but as an aside I was having a "procedure" done so chose Silver Star as one of my "Last Meal" choices hence the familiarity of the Dishes forthcoming.

and "Last Meal" it was not.

Glorious Won Ton Soup done the proper American Chinese way. 

Cannot be beaten especially compared to the state of Brooklyn Asian Cuisine these days,... actually this trend of crappy chinese food across America has reached critical mass, yes its mostly all crappy.

Not this bowl though, makes me want some right now.

Proper Thick Western Wonton, Roasted Pork Slices, Bok Choy and Wonton Broth.

The game plan for today was to go for Indian Food but since that did not work out we chose SILVER STAR, plan B which was scheduled a few days hence but in a clairvoyant haze as I was at my doctors appointment in anticipation for Indian Food I was also pre-anticipating in my minds eye during all that "sittingaroundandwaitingwithonlyyourthoughtsforcompany" the future scheduled appointment with Silver Star which filled me with thoughts of dipping a Crunchy and Oily Shrimp Toast into a welcoming mini-cauldron of House Mustard.

And so it came to pass.

Roast Pork Chow Mein - This to me always ran neck in neck with the I am supposing more popular Chicken Chow Mein and to me is just as good. On a complete 50/50 level I find it impossible to pick a favorite.

Rather simple, everything is exactly the same excepting for the Meat on top.

"Second Mein Same As The First"

Chicken Chow Mein - Cannot be beat (only matched by the Roast Pork Chow Mein) and can I ever truly take and have as many photos of this dish, the answer is a clear NO.

This is the Lunch Special portion.

IT HAPPENED ON A SUNDAY

Bacon Infused Pancakes with a side of Bacon.

Pondering with my Coffee on this Sunday afternoon I was transfixing on a Breakfast Snack when Toast with Butter came to mind so I ventured to the corner store for a Loaf of White Bread. 

Arriving back I realized I could make this better, there was a pound of Bacon sitting unused in the refrigerator so now it would be Toast with Bacon.

In preparing the utensils I realized I could make this even better for I was armed with Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix. So Now it would be Pancakes with Bacon.

the white bread was placed in the refrigerator for later.

As my mind raced I realized I could make this even more better.

Bacon Infused Pancakes.

Drop pre-shredded Bacon Bits onto the wet side of the Pancake.

Of course after The Cat has had her share of pre-shredded Bacon Bits.

For a pre-dinner Snack I had a Honey Roasted Turkey Roll-Up with some leftover Bacon and a rod of Cracker Barrel Aged Reserve White Cheddar Cheese.

Dinner was courtesy of Pastosa Basil/Pesto Ravioli topped with Frank & Sal's Home Made Pesto Sauce.

And quite the Sunday it was.
