thursday night: lamb shanks

Too lazy to cook? Where to go on a Thursday night? Tommy's Joynt! Thursday night's special is lamb shanks. Tender, fall-off-the-bone, meaty,  deliciousness. 1 for $7 ; 2 for $11! What a deal! We head out.

We arrive at this San Francisco institution only to find out - NO LAMB SHANKS! Tonight they substituted (boring) roasted chicken.

What to do? Turkey Leg? Brisket? Pastrami sandwich? Nope. My comfort food standby:

Meatballs, Mashed Potatoes + Gravy: 3 tender meatballs in a rich tomato and beef gravy. It's nothing like a spaghetti sauce because this one thickened with a roux. Served with mashed potatoes (not spaghetti) this plate is pure comfort. Add Trumer Pils + Jameson up, dinner is complete.
