This picture isn't what I'm mainly going to tell you about today, this is the real deal.
I haven't been down in Philadelphia for a while and I'm a big fan of the real Philly Cheese-Steak as well as some of the high-end, fancy food such as the food of the acclaimed Spanish Restaurant Amada. This was our last day at the beach house this weekend and planned to return after lunch. My mother and I were planning on going down to Philadelphia one of the days of the week that we return from Texas. While discussing this trip, I was starting to crave a Philly Cheese-Steak.
I was tired of waiting for a real Philly Steak and I felt that I needed to make one for myself for lunch in sort of a makeshift, fancy fashion. What would I do for a Philly Cheese-Steak? Make my own out of ingredients that I have lying around the house from the past days of the weekend. I also unfortunately had to use a microwave because I wanted my food fast from being hungry.
What I did was I took a baguette that we bought yesterday, cut off a long piece and cut it down the middle to make the sandwich on. Then, I took the left-over meat from a beef London Broil that we had the day before and placed it on one half of the sandwich. Then I started to do weird things with adding ingredients. On top of the beef, I placed slices of mozzarella that other family members were using for lunch and then I sprinkled on top of that grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese on top of that.
On the other side of the sandwich I dripped some extra-virgin olive oil and then set it in the microwave for a short time. In less than a minute I had a makeshift, fancier version of the Philly Cheese-Steak which I enjoyed after it cooled down. I'm showing here that when I want some particular food that is difficult to get, I'm willing to go out (or in) and do what I need to do to get that food for myself. I might make a version of it with ingredients similar to the original which I did today, or I may run across Penn Station for a box of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.
