Ok, so I had an awesome chessesteak today. finally.
as with all fast cuisine, it has the benefit of staying the same with relatively lousier ingredients. this doesnt apply to say, steak, which definitely needs a good cut of meat and some skill to cook. however, if you know how to slice beef thinly, if you can fry and onion and melt cheese, then you’re on the way to making a good cheesesteak.
as i told a friend, making a cheesesteak with fresh beef is abit like making tuna mayo with sushi grade tuna. it does elevate the dish to another level, somewhat, but it’s almost a waste of potential.
Okay, I have a confession to make. I am in love. With cobblestone and red brick.
Seriously, why dont they build with these things anymore?

Had the fortune of ducking into a seaport museum that costs 5 bucks on a hot summers day, but the highlight really was that you got to go into a 1960’s submarine. which is always pretty awesome. i vaguely remember visiting a sub once, and also a LST during my army days, but still.
Torpedo Tubes, Philadelphia, PA.
American history is really intriguing. but i think i will blog about that big topic some other day. i’ve been forming a bunch of ideas in my head now… i should document it for posterity.
