    Steak and toast, of course. It was perfect for tonight.

    Ever had that?

    First of all, sorry about the bad tummy. Hope it resolves soon!

    Nope, never had steak n toast, but it sounds simple and delightful. What kind of steak, how thick, and how is it prepared?

    Oh, and "supper clubs?" There a lot of them north of the Cheddar Curtain. We used to fancy "The Duck Inn" in Delavan and "The Brookwood" in Mukwonago. Years ago, The Brookwood actually had Beef Wellington!

    George, those are the fancy supper clubs you're talking about. I'm talking about the most rural of the bunch, and they were very simple. There was no buffet, no fancy stuff, and a very limited menu. The menu almost never changed for yeats, maybe decades.

    There might be just one person in the kitchen, one at the bar, and one to wait tables and clear them. It was often husband and wife and some other family relations. Really. We're talking rural, as in out in the country on the county roads, perhaps at the crossroads for a big one.

    The buildings were rough, barely had a bathroom, but they were the place to be to meet people, even though it was a limited selection, almost as limited as the menu.

      Sounds great, Brenda. I'm going to have Prime NY Strip tonight, it's in the sous vide as we speak. Probably with sauteed mushrooms and/or onions.

      The food was great, Horace. Then and now, it was great. Hubby and I had fun reminiscing. He knew of some, and I knew of others, but we didn't know each other back then.

        George, we had NY strips seared in a cast iron pan, then finished in the oven, done medium to medium rare. Hubby is the steak master.

            Thanks, George and TG! It's been going on for a week now, but seems to be getting better.

              My mom's go-to treatment for a bad tummy is a soft boiled egg. My mother-in-law's was tea and burnt toast.

              Steak n Toast sounds more appetizing.

                "Bad tummy" is a bit of a euphemism here that also includes the range of problems from salmonella, which was in the onions recalled recently. We found out afterwards about the recall. Onions are gone, trips to the bathroom continue.

                  Tea and toast has been another option for me lately. Not burnt, just toasted. I wonder why it was supposed to be burnt?

                    I have no idea why it had to be burnt.

                    I hope you're better soon. Make sure you hydrate.

                      My mom's old Estonian remedy included burnt toast. Not sure why, maybe it's like a charcoal filter. And some kind of mint. It was a leaf, as I recall, tasted like mint. I learned as a kid to keep my mouth shut, since the old-country remedies tended to be worse than the ailment.

                            No supper clubs around here.

                            Dry toast or plain crackers and Sprite for recovering tummies.

                            Lastly, weren't the onions carrying Salmonella? If this doesn't self-resolve very soon, may want to see a doc or visit an urgent care.

                              Interesting how different regions basically say the same thing but use foods that are nearby. 🙂

                                    Those are the fancy ones! Heck, that's a town of over 2,000 population. A metropolis!

                                    Think rural, towns under 500 people. Menus with 6 or 7 options: burger, a couple steak options, pork chop, maybe chicken, maybe fish, maybe meatloaf. Some of these places are in towns with less than 100 people, but they draw folks from the farms and small towns in the area.

                                    A jukebox and pinball machines provided entertainment, and on Saturday nights there might be a two or three piece band, with dancing either on a very small dance floor or just in the wide area between the two rows of booths. The whole place would typically seat no more than 100 people, usually less than 50.

                                    Y'all are too citified with your fancy supper clubs that have fancy food and fancy drinks. In your world, these might be called taverns, but the rural folks like having a supper club, so they called it that. 😄

                                      Yes, that's why they got thrown out, but that was after I had already had some.

                                      I've muddled along for over a week with this already, and I'm not dead yet, so I suspect I won't need to see the doc. If either of those change, I'll let you know. 😄

                                          Those are the fancy ones! Heck, that's a town of over 2,000 population. A metropolis!

                                          Think rural, towns under 500 people. Menus with 6 or 7 options: burger, a couple steak options, pork chop, maybe chicken, maybe fish, maybe meatloaf. Some of these places are in towns with less than 100 people, but they draw folks from the farms and small towns in the area.

                                          A jukebox and pinball machines provided entertainment, and on Saturday nights there might be a two or three piece band, with dancing either on a very small dance floor or just in the wide area between the two rows of booths. The whole place would typically seat no more than 100 people, usually less than 50.

                                          Y'all are too citified with your fancy supper clubs that have fancy food and fancy drinks. In your world, these might be called taverns, but the rural folks like having a supper club, so they called it that. 😄
