OFTEN, OUR FAVORITE 'THINGS TO COOK & EAT' ARE BUT MORE SOPHISTICATED AND COMPLEX

than the fundamentals upon which they were based.......an example:   for at least a year of Saturdays, when I was 13,  part of my day's 'routine' was, usually, stopping by Krystal, on town square, and getting the $0.68 hamburger steak, cooked on a flat iron grill, with onions....and served with a side of skinny, crunchy fries and sweet tomato ketchup.......Today.....my satisfaction comes from fancier ground meats cooked in an iron skillet, with garlic, whatever seasonings come to mind...that day; then, 'topped' with whatever chopped green and red stuff's in the fridge; ultimately, disassembled with a fork, dipped in a combo of tomato ketchup and peri-peri &/or Gochujang chili sauce...or just some Worcestershire sauce .... or whatever suits today's 'palate'......hold the greasy/salty Krystal fries......this is better...eaten from crunchy tortilla chips or crispy baked vegetable chips......
