Food for Thought and Delivered

I had a thought, there are a lot of travel food channels. Places where people go and try different food, but now with the age of rapid delivery a lot of these places can deliver their food to be cooked.

If I ever were to do a food series again, I think it would be something where I would go on line and find different websites to find food to be delivered that I would need to finish cooking and see what I get from it. Generally, it will be expensive so I can’t do that right now, but it would be nice to see what you get, and maybe a couple different ways to use the ingredients.

The reason I thought of this was Ben’s Half smoke, a chili dog in DC I did not get to try while I was over there. However, you can buy direct from them and it ships frozen. A lot of restaurants and places do that. I want to know how those things travel, how they taste and then

What can we do with the ingredients if we have a couple left overs. Do half smoke sausages make a good beer brat? Do they do well fried? Maybe a half smoke corn dog? Because for people like me where travel may not be in the cards maybe a meal coming to you is a good break from everything.

I would think there would be some interest ins someone with my work history in kitchens trying food frozen and shipped. There is a lot of negative idea about it but in today’s society with how anything can be delivered I think it is better then maybe we think?

Just a thought.

Oh and I did finish some of the number crunching. It does not look good, yes I do use the analyst skills I pick up in school. Some of that is later though.

Tired from DC

Welcome to the nightly ramblings.

I went to Washington DC over the weekend and I felt exhausted returning. Ten hours in a metal tube between going and returning. Now some will say how it was horrible, and if you saw it that way, I didn’t.

Now as much as I bang the drum on Portland and its ills there is something I would like to make clear. Just because I had a good time doesn’t mean there are not things to fix, there are many things to fix in any city and for those mad that newer people don’t see it is easy enough to explain. For me I came form Portland, I know what Portland looks like in good and in bad times, I have that data and those scenes already in my head. If I don’t have one or the other of good or bad I will just likely sign off it is doing fine.

The reason for that is that without knowing both you do not know if it is good or bad. Some people think Portland is great, one person explains it is nothing like Memphis. We are not in Memphis though for our conversation we are in Portland so grading needs to be the right standard.

Also, it angered me immensely that everyone was showing the Portland protests on loop. Washington DC was a place I enjoyed although I must say Portland is my home, and while it is nice to see how other cities work it is nice to go back and try to make something out of the problems that run rampant here.

Now this is more of a check in piece as trying to recover after 60 hours of stuff to do and 10 hours of flying has made me a very exhausted buffalo. I will say I walked for a couple hours and while I did have to pay for it the next day, and I didn’t go very fast it was still more then before so we can still keep moving up on that account.

More tomorrow
