Beef. It's what's for dinner.
Marinated London Broil
Buttered Corn
Twice Baked Potatoes
Salad
Bread
*Sigh*
We rotate cooking, driving and other assorted duties here at the station monthly. This'll be my month to cook. The one benefit to cooking is you usually fix what you like. The hardest part to cooking for a station full of firefighters is trying to decide what to fix. Sure, everyone has their specialties, but you can only spring those once a rotation or they soon become not-so-special. Our crew has some great cooks on it, and some not so great ones.
Mark is our out of the box guy. "Cook and serve" means easy-to-make for him. One of the funniest meals I ever had at the firehouse was the day he had pork loin slices, white rice and corn. What made it funny was the look on the guys faces when they each took a bite of corn. I knew what it was, so it didn't take me by suprise, but Mark had never heard of hominy. He just looked at the label on the can and figured it was "king size" corn. So he just fixed it like a can of corn...
Sean is a good cook, he likes to put some effort into his meals. He makes an awesome lasagna.
Roscoe likes to try new things, some from recipies, some off the top of his head. He's the type that'll throw chicken breasts, mushrooms, cheese, wine and rice in a skillet and throw it in the oven to cook. Some of his creations are good, some are better.
Rick's menu consists of just a few things. Taco salad, lunch meat, hamburgers and pizza pie. If he gets a wild hair and tries something different, well, lets just say you're really pushing your luck.
I'm the meat-and-potatoes guy. My mom is an excellent cook, we didn't eat fancy things... I guess a kind of southern type cook. I cook like her, (or try to).
So... it's gonna be beef tonight for dinner.
It was simple, easy chicken salad for lunch.

Your mom is a great cook. I suspect you're a pretty good one yourself.
Do you ever get used to having your sleep interrupted? Or do you ever really sleep during your 24 on?
Some nights are better than others, but I rarely get a "good nights sleep" at the firehouse. I guess it's something in the back of your mind knowing that you could get called out any time.
