Belle cooked a quick lunch last week, using a frozen meal. It was good, but I couldn't put my finger on it, till it suddenly came flooding back to me. 1973, Fort Knox, KY, We had just come out of the field, and the chow hall served a hot supper. Salisbury steaks, mashed potatoes, sweet corn. It's amazing how memories work.
I normally drink Evan Willians in my afternoon cocktails. On Saturday, for reasons I can't explain, I picked up a bottle of old No7. Jack Daniels flagship hooch. I poured myself a Jack and COke, and the memories came flooding back. Totally different taste.
I wish I knew what vodka they were using in the Fort Dix bar in 198. That was a TDY to remember.
I likes me Salsbury steak in a sandwich with a cheese slice. Reminds me of my boyhood meatloaf sandwiches Mom made (RIP Mom). Simple but delicious !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post Pawpaw.
The local liquor store is unable to find Ezra Brooks, so its Evan Williams for me too.
ReplyDeleteGotta meet the taste / effect / price ratio.
