A promise kept
As I am a man of my word, my conscience compels me to write this post as a dedication to the hospitality staff at SIM USA. Amy, I told you I would blog about the culinary delights of SIMCO so this post is dedicated to you! As a single working guy, my diet is less than ideal. After a long day at work, concocting a delicious meal involving all four food groups (or is it the food pyramid now??) is just about the farthest thing from my mind. So, although I consider myself a fair chef (roomies, can you back me on this? Bender, don’t lie, you love my beans and rice!), I usually opt for easy to make dinners which, generally speaking are not the best nutritionally. Frozen pizza, ramen noodle, grilled cheese, chili, canned fruits or veg…sweet comfort foods you can nuke, boil or get out of a can!
I contrast that with SIMCO where I was delighted each meal-time with an array of delicious home-cooked delicacies. Burgers, pork chops, pulled pork BBQ, pasta salad, soups….and the banana pudding and trifle still make me salivate when I remember them…mmmmm…good.
So a hearty and heart-felt thanks to you all for spoiling all of us who cannot live on bread alone! I will think fondly of you over my next bowl of Ramen!

I will absolutely vouch for Dave’s culinary creation of Chorizo, peppers, beans, and rice being other-worldly. It ranks a solid #2 on the all-time Hostel meals, just in front of Mike’s barbecued/blackened chicken, but a hair behind the concoction of Chicken Tenders, a Wendy’s Baked Potato and Chili, and Texas Pete’s Hot Sauce from Josh J. Got to love Bachelor eating!!!!

I feel for your roomies brother! I also vouch for the excellent food that we ate at what my son Cameron called the Dining Mall!
It was good food!

Well, Bender vouched for ya…still need a few more to convince me though. wa ha.
However, I will agree with Brian on this one - that cooking in the “dining mall” was fabulous.

Yikes! So much backlash! Well, I welcome any of y’all to my house and I will provide you with a splendiferous meal!
The “Dining Mall”…that is awesome!
