What is/was for dinner?

Is there a local term for an egg fried but not flipped, or is that just a given, as opposed to ‘over easy’?

We don't say (or use, or write) either "sunny side up", or "over easy".

I had to have both terms translated for me when I encountered them, and, as I don't use them, and nor do I know anyone who uses them, I have to look them up whenever I encounter them.

It was my birthday yesterday so I asked for sausages (knackwurst, bratwurst & wieners), warm German potato salad and sauerkraut and Italian pastry from local bakery Sergio’s for dessert.

I went to a grocer in town called Eurozone and picked up a tasty new mustard - Kosciusko “lager beer” spicy brown mustard. Very good. I especially liked it with a seedy sourdough loaf I picked up that also had sweet dried cherries. The contrast was great.

Beer was very good as well - a seasonal imported Marzen. Creamy and malty, it was very tasty.

Belated birthday greetings.

That looks absolutely delicious, and splendidly authentic.

warm German potato salad

I'm not sure if what I remember is the same thing...but I remember really liking a German potato salad we sometimes got when I was young.

That was an era when I "didn't particularly like" potato salad. (Or, more specifically, standard American potato salad.) It was perhaps a shock to find that I did like the German potato salad.

I craved a curry, hence, I have ordered in curry - a combination of curry - this evening.

Dinner comprised pappadums, peshawari naan, egg fried rice, roadside chilli chicken, railway lamb curry, and chicken chettinadu (sometimes, written as chicken chettinard), three lesser known classics of Indian cuisine.

Very tasty, nicely spicy, and exceptionally welcome.

"American" Potato salad as in that yucko yellow, sickeningly sweet from excessively corn syupy sweet pickle relish yet stinking of eggs potato salad that you commonly find prepackaged in deli grab n go coolers? If you mean that grotesque stuff, then yes, I am in complete agreement I have always liked potato salad but like everything in life, it has to be done right lol. German potato salad (hot or cold) is very tasty and is what I always had as a kid in Cincinnati. When I moved out to NM, I started eating real Texas barbecue and the tater salad Texans were making to serve with that was a russet potato in a dense sourcream and chive/dill & pickle juice dressing. To this day, this is one of my favorite types with Texas smoked Jalapeno hotlinks . I have also consistently enjoyed Firehouse Potato salad which is effectively that Texan BBQ potato salad with the addition of Franks of Tobasco hot sauce in the dressing and crumbles of a nice Danish bleu or gorganzola over the top with scallion and bacon bits - a great one to serve with bbq grilled burgers and corn on the cob. Lots of neat ones out there that is for sure!

Dinner was very simple. The boys ate pizza and I made for the over 9 y/o crowd, green chile pork carnitas burritos. Simply put, cubed lean pork, sauteed in a bit of lard and garlic and finished with some queso blanco and green chile sauce and into a burrito tortilla it goes. Quick n easy with very little clean up. I also really like this burrito with the accompaniment of hashbrown potatoes or even tater tots will do the trick as they do a great job of holding onto the green chile sauce and providing a bit more body. Anyways, I'd have taken a pictire but I already ate them

Zuppa Toscana. Wife said it was off from my usual execution lol. Well to be fair, I did add some steps/ingredients that for her brought distraction from what I typically serve.

My oldest liked it.
