IN A PINCH - IT'S A JAR SAUCE THING, YOU WOULD'NT UNDERSTAND
I grabbed these three guys on sale at Waldbaum's to sample them and frankly am not sure if I will ever go out of my way to prepare these "exotic" Flavor's at home on my own. While I am sure they are simple to concoct I am a Crushed Tomato Bolognese or Marinara Sauce guy in the kitchen when making a homeade Sauce.
11/20/15 - The Creamy Mozzarella was pretty much completely lacking in Flavor, I mean it was there but that is where it began and ended. Edible Yes but "meh"
12/28/15 - I can only describe this as Chef Boyardee Sauce in a jar with the Cheese mixed with Tomato Flavor, better than the Creamy Mozzarella described above but looks like the RAGU people aren't impressing me as of yet.
But do you really expect much from a Jar Sauce.

OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE - Brooklyn, New York
The Gorgeous
"Blooming Onion" ($ 8.99)
Practically a staple of the Outback Steakhouse Menu and where else are you going to get one of these fella's. I will surmise that they did not invent it but maybe they did.
My friend Roy gifted me fifty bucks of gift cards quite a few years back and I am thankful so my bill was minimal but the Food was Wonderful as was my companion.
I attended on my fiftieth birthday week and had a BLAST.
Service was Good.
Food was Great.
Companion was Awesome.
Firecracker Salmon - Topped with Fresh Mango Salsa & in this case a Baked Sweet Potato ($19.99).
I only had a teeny Bite as this was Christina's plate but my Mouth Watered. a good sign.
Signature Chop Steak - Ground Steak atop Sauteed Mushrooms & Grilled Onions, served with Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Veggies ($11.99)
They did not ask me to which Temperage I would like the Burger (which is basically what I ordered) should be prepared but heck this is OUTBACK STEAK HOUSE and they know how to do it and they did it well.
I could not discern Garlic in the Mashed Potatoes.
Christina and I soloed the Potatoes and there was indeed Garlic.
The Gratuitous Bread & Butter Appetizer.
Very Good.
YES, I Stole A Ramiken but maybe not on purpose, Maybe.
Some Guy.
As I pontificated, It Is A Staple.
As a Leftover, Always prepare in the Oven & NOT the Microwave. Good rule of thumb with Everything.

LA BELLA - Brooklyn, New York
The Wonderous Fried Eggplant & Tomato Sandwich as devised by Christina and of her creation.
This cute little Cookie was purchased by me after Christina gave it a second look (Cheese plate & knife) and at $3.99 was a steal as the Cheese itself was worth that alone.
Pesto Cheese, Peppercorn Cheese and Whatever Cheese but all from Tuscanny, Italy and most formidable and mouth wateringly outstanding.
Prepared Foods I do shy away from as the price is escalated and why not make it homeade, but this is done just right and a joy it was.

B & A PORK STORE - Brooklyn, New York
One of Brooklyn's Classic Pork Stores.
Pictured above is a pair of Prosciutto Balls and the ever elusive Crispelli which I had yet to hear about until that day.
Prosciutto Balls - Mostly Ricotta so not my favorite but trust me, I am not complaining.
?
The Mysterious Crispelli.
The Excellent counterperson said it was like an "Italian Egg Roll" and while it was only breaded and had no skin like an Egg Roll this was fantastic. Ricotta and Spinach Breaded and Fried.
I can only blame this on my girlfriend's dirty mind unless of course you don't see anything in this photo, then in fact it is my dirty mind.
This Must Be Da Place.
APPLES & CHEESE
Oft heard of but possibly tried years ago and boy does this work.
Fresh Apples, packaged quality Cheese and Ritz Crackers I believe.
The Orchard.
On The Road.
