A McRib. Somehow this isn't quite as awesome as I remember when I was 5.
I had a pea shoot, mint and asparagus risotto (small portion) and some spaghetti tossed in olive oil with some cherry tomatoes, pepper and spring greens lightly cooked in oil, pepper, chilli and garlic :healthgod:
I had a toast with some green pesto, fresh basil leafs and a sprinkle of parmesan, as well as a martini. :blush:
Sausage, eggs & toast.

I made some pasta sauce (lots of vegetables and healthy stuff) and some whole grain pasta and doused it with Tabasco sauce and red peppers.
Salmon sashimi. WTF there was a small bone in one of them!? :x

Had some pretty good cassoulet a couple hours ago. Not so much the Beringer white that went with it; really needed a damn red wine (if I had been in charge of the wine selection, I probably would have went with a shiraz). :angry:

Welp, there are four of us, 3 of us expecting there to be a week's worth of leftovers. The fourth said that he could he half of it by himself. I therefore challenged him to drink 2 pints of heavy cream along with the Omelet, he accepted and living wills have been formalized.
I'll have my usual breakfast of gruel (skim milk with part oatmeal, wheatgerm, and flaxseed). Probably spinach salad for lunch.

It was actually 4 pounds of cheese, the green peppers were forgotten, so we substituted with a dollop of sour cream on each portion. The calorie count came back as follows, and this doesn't take into account the meat and everything was well drained:

250x RDA cholesterol and sodium requirements

Deep-fried egg dough filled with cheese and tomato sauce, similar to but distinct from other "pizza pocket" variations.
Between this, the stromboli, and the ISOP, the Phila metro area really has more than its fair share of inverted pizza-related specialty foods, not to mention indulgences like the cheesesteak egg roll, available at any Plexiglass-screened Chinese food restaurant:

It turned out well. It wasn't exactly the same as restaurant quality, but it was really good. It was more complicated than I am used to, and it took a while to cook.
I made chicken jalfrezi last night, which was definitely easier to make, but it didn't turn out as well.
I haven't cooked alot of Indian lately, but when I have it's been all vegetarian. I'm working on a potato and chickpea curry recipe and have been improving it with each attempt.

Pan-fried myself a pork chop, washing it down with Warsteiner Premium "Hi-Light," which I guess is their attempt to crack into the US lite beer market? It's not terrible, and the price was right (9.99 for 24), even if the case expired in February.

Speaking of white, gelatinous, meat-based sauces, when I was down in Ocean City, MD, I figured it was a good opportunity to try some real cream chipped beef on toast at a local coffee shop.
The first half of a slice was "good," the second half was edible, and by the second and third slices I had to resort to spreading the remainder around my plate so the waitress wouldn't think I was a pussy. :Embarrass:

Is your gravy recipe a family secret? I have been looking for a good recipe for a while now.
Not at all. First, I take four frozen biscuits (brand doesn't matter so long as they are either buttermilk or 'southern-style') outta the freezer, preheat the oven to 350 (I think... whatever the biscuit package says), and throw the biscuits in there.
Next, I take half a tube of Purnell's Medium Whole Hog Sausage and bust it up with a wooden spoon in a skillet over high heat.
Once it's all brown and in smallish pieces, I add one cup of hot water and one cup of milk. Then, I turn the heat up to high and, when the liquid starts to boil, I stir in half a packet of Southeastern Mills Pepper Gravy mix. Once I've got the mix powder thoroughly stirred in, I turn the heat down to low and simmer the sausage gravy till the biscuits are done.
Once everything is done cooking, I split the biscuits, putting four halves on a plate, cover the biscuits with the gravy, and then liberally sprinkle the gravy with ground black pepper.

An apple, of the Red Delicious variety.
I had my once a month fast food lunch today. Blekth. GOod thing about fast food is that it hits my gut like a ton of jagged bricks, so I can go the rest of the day without being hungry.
Maple bacon and melted swiss cheese, wrapped in pita bread.
Local whole-grain wheat bread with pheasant-and-plum pate and goat cheese, and a glass of chilled Norman cider to wash it down.
Indian food. Goat curry, vegetable curry, dahl, naan, rice and yogurt.

fancy grilled cheese - thinly sliced spicy porketta and a nice ementhal cheese on either sside, perfectly browned, cut diagonally for maximum ketchup soppage.
Soon...soon...a great turkey gumbo over rice.
Dinner last night: mushroom-stuffed perogies and double-smoked kielbasa. Breakfast this morning: the leftover kielbasa, as there was quite a bit of it.
My breakfast: coffee (spanish style, 2/3 milk, 1/3 black coffee), white breath with olive oil and tomato, tangerines and yellow plums.
I had Vietnamese food yesterday for the first time. It was the shiznit. :cool:
I had some shit called "Bun Thap Cam". Basically it was a bowl of ramen with lettuce, carrots, some other vegetable (daikon?). It was topped with char-grilled marinated pork, chicken, and shrimp, sliced-up egg rolls, cilantro, and ground peanuts, and came with a little bowl of some kind of sauce to pour on top of it. The sauce was clearly a rice vinegar base and tasted sweet and garlicky.
Yep, Vietnamese food is pretty good.
Try their Spring roll. (Different from the Chinese spring roll)
Was the sauce kinda grey/brown or light yellow almost transparent, Caliga?

I find bison is so lean it doesn't make for a very good steak.
However I have fully switched to ground bison instead of ground beef - leaner and more flavourful.
To be fair, I am not a big fan of the steak either...but I rarely eat a straight up steak, or better to say, rarely cook my own at home (and note, my caveat was food that I prepare...I'll eat a beef steak if eating out).
I mostly use ground meat, or steak tips in a homemade stir-fry(my current culinary experiments).

Now I'm making some pizza dough for tomorrow (mostly whole wheat) and some bread for the week.
It will be a beer based bread. I have about fifty fucking bottles of beer through a variety of reasons. Baking with it is as good a means of getting rid of it as any. I used some left over wine in the pizza dough.
The beer bread will be a mixture of whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten to try to make it less brick like, with wheat germ, wheat bran, and oat meal mixed in for extra fiber.
Ranch dressing, with raw carrots as the vehicle. :blush: As part of my continuing retreat into early childhood. What's next... Yodels? String cheese?

Spicy cheeseburger, fries, and clam chowder from MOSBurger :w00t:
I think this is just about my favorite fast food burger chain, along with In n Out and Carl's Jr. Fries at MOSBurger are much better though. I hope they expand in to California some day.
It's been a recent trend for foreign fast food joints to try to establish a foothold in the US. For example I remember seeing someplace that there are now Nando and Jollibee outlets in the states.
Apparently they used to have MOSBurger in Hawaii but it failed. I'd think a Japanese chain would have the best chance there. Maybe they'll give it another go.
I'd really like to try Nando's someday. I've been to a peri peri chicken place before and it was pretty good.
IIRC they have opened a Nando's in NYC and a couple in California someplace, and similar pattern with Jollibee. I think Jollibee is a Filipino chain, so I imagine they're initially trying to open them in places with lots of Filipinos.

I guess it's a bit patchy, syk. I live in a place that is popular with tourists, so most restaurants and bars have an English language version of the menu available.

Chinese food is always risky in the US.
We recently tried a new place within walking distance of my house. None of the waiters could speak English, and my wife's chicken dish had a chicken foot in it.

Yeah, this is the real thing, bitches. We'll be walking there every weekend until they inevitably go out of business.

My head hurts just thinking of eating 8 Reese's cups in one sitting.
We had a small department dinner at an Italian Cantinetta off St. Stephan's square last week. Gazpacho as starter, then Veal with lemon sauce and pasta, plus only a few drinks came at 60 EUR. But the company paid, so what. :lol:
The previous government's finance minister sat at a neighboring table, though.
For lunch today I had Schnitzel baked in beer dough, with potato wedges and garlic dip.
I just had a semla.

It's actually not that bad, it's only 640 calories in the Reese's cups, 900 in the Pringles; for my next meal I had some gross microwave enchilada verde thing that I wouldn't have even bought if I'd noticed the stupidly proud "no GMO" label on the box, which was 400. So 1940 in total for the day.

Just promise me if your face goes numb, you go to the ER. I had a friend get the DIABETUS from drinking a Dr. Pepper. And you sure has hell ingest more sugar and carbs.
You post a thread on languish if you should see a doctor, I'll drive down and kick your ass.
Diabeetus is weird in how unpredictable it is.
A buddy of mine at work used to work with a guy who was like 600 lbs. and who claimed he didn't have the diabeetus. Anyway, one time he went to the mall with this guy for lunch.
He started his lunch at Jersey Mike's, where he got a large steak and a GALLON of *sweet tea*. He also bought a full size (i.e. not a little lunch bag) bag of Doritos to go with it.
He ended his lunch at Cinnabon with a box of 6 Cinnabons.
Seriously, he must have consumed at least three pounds of sucrose in that one meal. Yet... no diabeetus. :blink:
Delicious.
When my work buddy told me about this, I actually lost my appetite and ended up not finishing my cheesesteak (he told me this at Jersey Mike's). :(
I am however proud to say I've never once patronized Cinnabon. :cool:

I made my first chili today. It was good.
Breakfast - Two tangerines and some colby jack cheese.
Dinner - pan-fried flank stake, with baby dills and vodka on the side.
Had a gyro and fries for dinner. Joint gives a generous helping. Got a second pita for a buck and made two samwishes.

On the stove. Browned beef with onions and green peppers, then added garlic, chili powder, salt, pepper, tomato sauce and habaneros. Let it simmer for about two hours then added beans. Nothing fancy.
I had one of those new burritos stuffed with Fritos from Taco Bell today.

WIN. My rolls were alot more breadlike than store-bought, and not nearly as sweet--which is a good thing IMO. The sad part is I still used 1/4 cup sugar in the dough and 1/4 cup sugar in the filling, so I can't imagine how much sugar (or corn syrup, I guess), is in storebought rolls. :yuk:

yeah I usually put it all in the cooker before bed (say 11pm ish, and let it cook until I get home from work the next day (turning it to "warm after about 12 hrs (11am)... the beans are always just right. this time the ground beef didn't work as well as my previous couple of pork loin chilis.
Going to make some mexican slaw here in a few.
They took me out for lunch @ work for the second time due to me leaving. Today I chose Vietnamese. I had Bún chả, which I usually get there (either that or some variety of pho). I probably shouldn't have drunk all of the rice vinegar in my bowl at the end, though. :wacko:

I also had spaghetti earlier. It involved complicated processes like "deciding whether to wash all the dishes or just the ones I needed to fix my meal" and "turning on the stove." I am: gastronomist.
Morrocan inspired chicken stew.
I threw everything I had at it. Trying to use up the stuff from the garden before it goes bad (don't know how or interested in canning :blush: ). Bell, anaheim and jalapeno peppers, red onion, carrots, can of stewed tomatoes, yellow squash, raisins, dried apricots, chicken broth and chicken thigh meat that I browned.
Spices:
salt
pepper
cayenne pepper
cardamom
tumeric
paprika
garlic powder
cinnamon
Served over barley
with tomato, cucumber, and feta cheese salad
I got into making bread, got myself a bread machine. So far the bread has been great; been using it instead of store bought. I have two recipes for white bread that I really like. Still learning, trying new recipes. Finding which I like, and trying breads like corn bread and others.
Over the summer I got a ton of veggies from my garden. Corn, tomatoes, beans. Lots of beans, the pole beans, which keep producing more than bush beans. I planted a lot of those three veggies. Corn was delicious, tasty, sweet and meaty in texture. So many tomatoes; gave a lot away but I've been eating a lot of them too. I had one cherry tomato plant - darn thing spreads out, needs its own zip code! Got tons of tomatoes from it. Planted lots of beans, too many, lol. I have about twenty packages frozen in the freezer, and those will last me a good while.
Took a lot of work though, for the garden. Between bugs and critters eating the young leaves, killing plants. I had to replant at times, and put down some critter repellent. Also sprayed a lot of hot pepper spray, which kept critters and probably bugs from eating the leaves. I also used some spray pesticide early on, not a lot though.
I had alligator for dinner tonight. :outback:
I have seen a Jamie Oliver video where he prepares a sirloin steak not just by dry rubbing it, but also coating it in olive oil in the end before letting it stand for a while.

I use olive oil on all my steaks and roasts now as a first step. That way it never sticks to the grill. And grilling - as we all know - is essential to the proper cooking of meat.

In any event I can't eat those Dum-Dums. I'm pretty certain the brown spots are just caramelized sugar (it could get really hot in here over the summer, up to 90F), but don't wish to chance it. I already owe the hospital enough money.

I gorged myself on Krystal when I was in Knoxville. :Embarrass: I never intended to do it, but every time I left my apartment to do any errand, I ended up getting a four-pack of Krystals, bringing them to the beer bar across the street to enjoy, getting drunk, and then going back for some Spicy Chiks to liven up the 3 block walk back home.

There aren't that many places here open super late, so sometimes a sack of Krystals is all you have other than Waffle House, and WH isn't really "to go" food a lot of the time.
I found that the Krystal right off I-75 in Dalton is a good place to go for inbred mutant-watching fun.

No it is an American frontier food. It could be stored in blocks and hauled along the trail for a cattle drive or whatever.
I like to make a big supper on Sundays so I have some to bring for lunches during the week. In light of the season, I decided to try my hand at making a tortiere. :frog: But I was also cleaning out the freezer and found a package of ground elk. So I made a pork-elk tortiere. :cool:
Pretty damn good. First time I ever made a pastry worth a damn as well.

The one time I had tortiere made by real live French ladies (who may have been born and raised in Alberta, but who spoke with a French accent) the tortiere definitely had potatoes.

Curly fries from Arby's, spicy fried mushrooms from Zaxby's. If I'd been really hungry, I'd have gotten a serving okra from Church's to complete my side dish feast.

Their spicy chicken is also pretty good. But anyway, I gained two pounds over the holidays, and okra got the axe.

We actually have a number of Chik-Fil-A locations around here, and we now have Zaxby's as well... and of course there's the Popeye's that I mentioned. There actually aren't as many KFCs as you might expect... there are only about 25 in Louisville. I actually think we have more Taco Bell locations (both being Yum! businesses) than KFC locations.

I'm a fan too. They have good fried mushrooms, and their boneless buffalo wings are about the same as Bdubs (though you can get them much hotter at Bdubs, of course).
The local Zaxby's is kind of shitty. I love buffalo wings and I used to eat them all the time, but Zaxby's were often not very spicy--their definition of "insane" and mine are clearly not the same*--and/or undersauced, along with long wait times at the drive thru.
*Now Wild Wings? They merit the name "insane," although their hottest sauce is called "braveheart." That shit is good, but capable of causing chemical burns to skin that doesn't have access to a salivary flush system.
Like one's dick. <_<
Edit: oh, "Bdubs" is BWW. Gotcha.
My wife still calls it BW3. I dunno. The wings are okay and all that, but goddammit even in the "family" area (they don't have a fucking smoking section anymore, so that just means the part where the taps aren't instantly visible, I guess), they have the music/TVs up so loud you have trouble hearing the person across from you. Sure, I'm down for that sometimes, which is when I'll head into the bar area, but turn it down a little out front, mooks. The Cowboys game doesn't need to be on 12. Aikman and Buck will be just as boring on 8. I promise.
E: I want some mango habanero wings now.
Concur. Last time I went, just for dinner, it was is awful. They had some live act and we were sitting as far away from it as possible.
I get wings for take-out. They're a great re-heat later food. Got a bottle of the wild sauce in the fridge too to add some more if needed. Everyone always asks what the 3rd "w" is for. It's weck.

1/2 tbsp coriander
1/2 tbsp Sambaar curry powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup dry lentils
3 cups water
Pour oil into cooker. Sautee onions in cooker over medium heat. Add everything else except the salt. Close the cooker, turn heat up to high, and cook under pressure for 3 minutes. Take cooker off heat and let pressure drop on its own till fully depressurized. Stir in salt.

Took Princesca to Limestone for her dinner, which is a local place that does fine dining with a Southern flair. For an appetizer, we had macaroni and cheese with crabmeat, which probably sounds like shit to most of you but tasted really good. For my main course, I had sole stuffed with crab on a bed of creamed spinach with fire-roasted Brussels sprouts, and she had a pork chop with a cranberry garnish over grits with mixed vegetables. She had creme brulee for dessert and I had a peach and almond tart with pistachio ice cream. Drinks were the house chardonnay (which was actually kind of flat) and cappuccino for me and regular coffee for her for dessert.
This restaurant has kind of a mixed reputation around here... it's right by my office and someone commented that it was "horrible" there. While I don't agree with that, it's definitely not my favorite fine dining establishment in town; we have a place called Z's Oyster Bar and Steakhouse which I like better, as well as the famous Vincenzo's downtown.

You go to Grandma's Kountry Kitchen and you get pork chops with smashed taters for 9 bucks. You go to Chez Hipster and they put the pork chop ON TOP of the smashed taters, drizzle some colored goo on the side of the plate and charge you 19. If I really want the pork chops on top of the potatoes I can do that myself at Grandma's.

My "signature dish" is Alaskan King Crab Macaroni and Cheese.
Seriously - I made it once, made it a second time when my mother in law was here, and she absolutely loves the stuff. And she is a professional short order cook who owns her own restaurant.
I keep trying to tell her that it is easy to make a dish that tastes delicious when you take ~$50-$80 worth of ingredients into a mac and cheese, but she doesn't believe me.
Of course, Alaskan King Crab is a hell of a lot more expensive when you live in Alberta, not Yukon. :(
Anyways, I bring this up to say I can believe that mac and cheese with crab is pretty damn good stuff.

No. White bread, bologna and miracle whip. I know it wasn't artisan bread made by french bakers, hormone free meat handrubbed before it was slaughtered and handmade mayo made from a 600 year old recipe like the languish snobs are used to, but I WAS FUCKING HUNGRY and dinner wasn't ready yet.
I was just asking. :P Fried bologna sandwiches are really good.

AHAHA! Only a mustard made from a 2100 year old Roman recipe, you barbarian.
They are pretty damned snobby, I agree.
Heh, I can imagine myself at age 70--let's assume I've made money in the meantime--still drinking store-brand soda and snacking on microwave pizzas while my grown children wonder how I became such a skinflint. Then I'll use the compliance chip I put in their spines to shock them for their insolence. The future: pretty great.

Without the weird shit like pimentos. Hers is meatballs, carrots and potatoes, since I don't go for that weird crap.
For tonite, I'm cooking;
Main:Baked chicken in rice with italian sausage.
Beverage: Merlot.
Side: Corn on the cob on the side :hillbilly:.
Interesting. The only thing I've ever made that has meatballs and is sorta stewy is called Koenigsberger klopse. Haven't made it in years tho. It's got meatballs in a thick white sauce with capers.

Been awhile since had some good jambalaya
Tonight I made something simple but tasty. I combined lentils, pasta, pinto beans, cracked wheat and barley, cooked/boiled them together in a soup, added some sliced ham and seasoning. Had that with some delicious home made bread I made yesterday.

I've enjoyed having most of the outside-the-pale posters around. Lettow, Fate, Sad, Jahuu, Martimanus, Siege, etc have provided much entertainment in their time.
My mother in law made lechon asado, congris, boiled yucca, and flan for dinner. :cool:
I thought your mother in law was a stone cold hillbilly. :huh:
(No offense Princessa if you read this.)
There's a family tradition of cooking people a special dinner for their birthday in her family consisting of whatever you want. Princesca and I decided that it would be fun to start requesting that she make us ethnic stuff. So for my birthday, I had her make me sauerbraten and German tater salad, and Princesca decided to have her make Cuban food. She did a good job both times and some of these dishes have started to appear at family potlucks, thereby breaking up the endless monotony of various casseroles and the like. The German tater salad made a reappearance at Christmas (my sister in law made it that time, though). :cool:
So she just goes straight of a recipe?
In both cases we provided the recipes for her. Today, I also provided mojitos (though as a Baptist she won't drink... so I made them for me, Princesca, and my sis in law's boyfriend).
Chili from a can. The can says "Authentic Texas Recipe". There are beans in it. :P

Well, a transliteration that would capture the pronunciation better would be "Syemyenovich". But we usually dispense with the y's. Much like we use "Gorbachev" instead of "Gorbachyev".

Actually, they're pretty much the same letter, with Ё (pronounced "yo" vs. "ye") often just indicating where the stress is. They're similar enough that in typed Russian, you'll almost never see the umlaut, even if the pronunciation is "yo". Often makes it a pain for schmucks like me to figure out where the stress is. :P

Okay, probably not the whole box. Until satiety.
They're the brown sugar cinnamon kind. The generic Pop-Tarts all have frosting, and believe it or not, it's the only kind I like. You see, when I bought name-brand Pop-Tarts, I'd get strawberry and blueberry ones... without frosting! :o
Don't they generally have an image and some text on the box to let you know if you're getting the frosted kind or not? :hmm:
I'm saying that Sam Walton doesn't make non-frosted ones. Kelloggs does. I don't like that white shit frosting that ruins the fruit filling flavor. These are basically just sugar inside a pastry, so it goes with it better.
I liked Aldi's plop tarts. :)

For vegetarians who want meat without the murder, may I recommend in-vitro meat (http://www.foodprocessing-technology.com/features/featurelab-grown-meat-promises-burgers-without-the-bovine/). A rather splendid article, I think you'll agree.

HUDDLE HOUSE IN BARDSTOWN, KENTUCKY AAR
On Sunday Princesca and I had to go to Bardstown, KY to attend a visitation for her uncle's mother. We got there very early and noticed there was a Huddle House nearby. I've never been to Huddle House but always wanted to try it so we stopped in for some chow.
The place is bascially a carbon-copy of Waffle House, but has a much larger non-breakfast menu. I got a pulled pork sammich with fries and Princesca got breakfast. She said the breakfast at Waffle House is better, but my lunch was better than your typical Waffle House lunch (they don't have stuff like pulled pork at Waffle House).
Overall I liked it, but I still think the best Southern-based fast food place is Chik-Fil-A. BY FAR. I can't wait for the old man to croak, since I imagine his greedy little kids will start opening the restaurants on Sundays. :)
I had my perhaps favourite snack, sardines on toast. :wub:

WENDY'S IN SHELBYVILLE, KENTUCKY AAR
Today I had to swing by Lowe's to pick up a bunch of shit for the yard and we ate lunch at a Wendy's next to it. If you haven't been to a Wendy's in a while, the chain has made some drastic improvements. I usually get chicken sandwiches there but today I tried the Baconator, which is extremely delicious. Two beef patties, a layer of bacon, a slice of cheese, and topped off with mayo, ketchup, and mustard. Their fries are now like boardwalk fries with the big grains of salt. However, the highlight of the experience was this: I was still kinda hungry at the end of my meal and thought about getting up and getting a frosty, but there were too many people in line, so I said screw it and was getting ready to leave. Just then, a pleasantly plump negroid employee came by my table with a small vanilla frosty AND OFFERED IT TO ME FOR FREE. What. The. Fuck. So not only is their food now kickass, but they've perfected the art of mind reading. :blink: :punk:
Vanilla frosty?
There is only one -true- frosty flavor. :mad:
I had a milkshake with peanut butter cup ice cream. It was good, but not as good as the toffee crunch milkshake I had last week. I'm loving the new 15 dollar blender. :lol:

Not this time. We waited until we got home, but I think my decision to hit the GL on the way home got her juiced. She was pretty happy. Girls dig that sort of thing, I think. None of the "where should be go?" nonsense. I picked a place and went. She didn't know what I was doing until we got there. In the meantime, she was talking about her business trip and not really paying attention to the fact that--hey wait a minute, this isn't the way home...
I still have nearly half that pork chop in my fridge. It was 14oz.
I should do that sometime. Hulk not good with romance :blush:
Some ribs have been on the BBQ last 4 hours on low indirect heat with maple wood chips... :shifty:
Dammit - timing was wrong, ribs were tasty but definitely overcooked.
Ah well - thats why I do it on *my* day, so I can practice.
Get one of those radio thermometers. Stick the sensor component in the BBQ (in the air, not in the meat). Take the display with you and put it wherever you're hanging out. They usually have temp alarms you can set. It helps to catch flareups and stuff that might overheat the box.
I seem to have made yet another quiche, but I guess there ok in the summer warmth.
Though it tasted so nice, I eat it all. :blush:

Chicken and Dumplins, mashed taters and fried apples. Afterwards, a 3 hour nap.

Basque Beans
(Ezkualdun Itarrak)
What You Need:
1 ½ pounds dried pink beans or dried light kidney beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups water
2 cups Beef Stock or use canned
¾ pound boneless pork cut in small pieces
¾ pound ham steak, with bone
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 bay leaf
½ pound Spanish Chorizo Sausage or Mexican chorizo cut in ¾-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
How To Cook:
1. In an 8-quart heavy pot, put the beans and at least twice as much water. Cover and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 1 hour.
2. Drain the beans and return them to the pot. Add remaining ingredients except the chorizo, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour.
3. Add the chorizo and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Beans should be very tender and the liquid will tend to thicken up a bit.
4. Taste to see if it needs salt and pepper.

You can get some wonderful ribs doing that. Put them on low, indirect heat. Get an grilltop thermometer - you're aiming for 250F. After about 4 hours put them on direct heat, add some barbecue sauce, cook for another 5-10 minutes (you're just heating up the sauce / adding grill marks at this point) and you're golden.
Throw in a package of woodchips for added fun.

Actually I went there because I've hunted high and low looking for ground bison. The same ground bison I used to get at my neighborhood grocery store in Whitehorse. :P
So wild meat is probably not the best example to give. But yeah, there are absolutely some advantages to a semi-foodie like myself to living in the city. I make regular trips to the local Italian grocery store for all sorts of things I wouldn't be able to find up north.

You would love my butcher. He has bison steaks, ground meat and even bison pepperoni - a real favourite of the CC clan.
But I go to him mainly for his free range chicken and eggs, pork (where I got the ribs) and grass fed beef. The CC clan may love him a bit too much come to think about it. We spend between 250-350 there weekly.

Close to it actually.
That might be a lot for the average family but you need to consider that my boys are now 13 and 15 and they eat a lot.
Typically each week I get:
4 ribeye steaks - nice and thick (about 2 inches) about 18 ounces each.
4 racks of baby back ribs
2 pounds of chicken wings (make a nice snack)
20 sticks of bison pepperoni
8 chicken legs and 14 or so thighs (basically whatever they have left in the display case)
4 large chicken breasts
2 pounds of stewing beef
2 pork tenderloin.
24 free range eggs
16 no crap sausages.
2 packages of perogies (got to love a butcher that sells those!)
And then whatever they have that week that looks good. For example, they have a guy who supplies them with pulled pork made with a smoker every once in a while - when that is in I buy it all. I just cant replicate that sort of thing on my grill.
When things start cooling off I will move toward more roasts in the oven and less grilling outside but we keep doing at least some of that all year round.
So there, all essential food groups covered - beef, bison, pork chicken and eggs.

No, we dont eat out much. We eat no fast food for example. But I do like taking the boys for sushi every week or two.
Ok now I want steak.

Fried noodles with duck from the Chinese place 5 minutes from here. After that, baklava from the Turkish bakery.

Pretty sure that during times of bacon shortage (and even when not), most people would say that spam can only be a detriment when merged with bacon.
Most people are idiots.

No, but I've had a goat's cheese salad and a beer in a Parisian branch.
When I bring a packed lunch I can't resist eating it too early. Tuna pasta pesto with sweetcorn today, at 10am.
I got McD at best for their seasonal specials, their breakfast seelction (McGriddles with nutella! Ham&Eggs Wrap! The McMuffins and breakfast burgers!). During winter we get e.g. "Hüttngaudi" which gives ski resort themes, i.e. inspired by apres ski food. Earlier this year (or last year?) they had burgers cerated by gourmet chefs. Etc.
Still prefer BK by a mile. KFC is ok-ish over here, but severely lacking in choice. I miss Popeye's. :(
They've recently added McNoodles (curry or sweat&sour) . . . because there's apparently a lack of places to buy those. :rolleyes: Next thing will probably be either McBratwurst or McDönerKebab, because there's so few of them, too.

Everything coupled with the right wine, ranging from chardonnay for the brain to a really excellent lagrein for the tripe.

Quote(Newser) – If you don't want to eat horse, you might want to drop the chalupa. The great European horse meat scandal has spread to Taco Bell, with British regulators revealing today that they found horse meat at the chain's UK locations. That, it turns out, puts the Bell in pretty elite company; of the 1,797 meat samples regulators tested from across the country, only four came up positive, including Birds Eye ready meals and Brakes skewers, which had already been implicated, Reuters reports.
Taco Bell has just three outlets in the UK. The company released a statement stressing that the contaminated meat came from a single supplier in Europe, and noting, "We immediately withdrew ground beef from sale in our restaurants, discontinued purchase of that meat, and contacted the Food Standards Agency." But the news comes at an inconvenient time for parent company Yum Brands, which just this week announced it was tightening safety standards after its Chinese KFC restaurants had a contaminated chicken scare.
We really oughta stop importing food products from China.
I had a craving for Taco Bell while in France. A deep, dark craving for a bean burrito.

The London department store Fortnum & Mason claims to have invented Scotch eggs in 1738,[1][2] but they may have been inspired by the Moghul dish nargisi kofta ("Narcissus meatballs").[3]
The earliest printed recipe is the 1809 edition of Mrs. Rundell's A New System of Domestic Cookery. Mrs. Rundell—and later 19th-century authors—served them hot, with gravy

Spam? Solid scrambled eggs? Taters look nice tho'
Had a burger at the much hyped Meat Liquour at lunchtime as I found myslef in Marylebone at the right time and theer were no queues. Decent enough but not worth the hype. At the end of the day there's only so much you can do with a burger.
What's the alternative to solid scrambled eggs?
Fluffy scrambled eggs. I agree about the eggs. Lower your heat Before.
Disagree about the Spam. Don't knock fried Spam until you've tried it Gups.
Oh gotcha, wasn't the scrambled eggs but how he cooked them.
Have to admit I haven't had spam for more than 20 years and can't remember what it tasted like. It's so unfashionable here, I'm surprised it hasn't come back into fashion.
Scrambled eggs should be cooked until they are just set - i.e. over a very low heat, stirring constantly. If you want them solid you should just have an omlette.
Yea the eggs are more omelet style cooked than scrambled.

Any of you southerners have an opinion on the proper way? I figure I'm going to use my wok. The cast iron skillet would work but I think I can control the wok easier. I have a Le Creuset too if that would be better. What mixture should I use for the flour coating? I'm thinking I'll put salt, pepper, maybe some paprika and cayenne. They say the crust is better if you use some baking powder with it. Maybe I'll do a test. Egg or no egg? I think no since I have the buttermilk but hey.
In the meantime, I was cleaning my grill, so I put two ribeyes on there for tonight. Just for me--wife's out of town. :P

Disagree about the Spam. Don't knock fried Spam until you've tried it Gups.
First time I tried Spam was on a camping trip when my dad fried some up for dinner. We bugged the crap out of my mom until she started fixing it for us at home. Haven't had it in ages.
My dad loves it, is a favorite of his from being a kid, so when ever he is here in town end up making it for him.
I have a beef brisket covered in a salt mixture to cure in the fridge. It will take three or four days. Once it's cured, I'll take it out, rinse it clean, dry it, rub it with garlic and cover it with a combination of coriander and peppercorns. Then I'll slow smoke it for eight or ten hours, probably Sunday. Homemade pastrami.
Made me a potato with broccoli and cheese. It's like a little meal IED.

I had many a pao de queijo recently. They're okay. My family all commented on how much Brazillians seem to like their cheese.
I was generally disappointed with the food in Brazil. Meat was universally over-cooked. They have absolutely amazing fresh fruits - but they seemed to rarely serve them. And though I like beans just fine, they don't seem to do anything very interesting with them when they get served at every meal.
I did find one amazing dish I'd never heard of before though - moqueca. :mmm:

Oh, it's almost always better the next day. I love my crockpot.
God, what a sad life I have now. Maybe I should shoot myself in the face like Hemingway :D
I had lamb bacon for the first time ever this morning. :mmm:
Eating sushi (tuna roll) now. :punk:
The pastrami is done curing. I rinsed it off completely, rubbed it with garlic and covered it with pepper and coriander. It's in the Akorn now to smoke for a long time. The curing process is interesting. It produced a couple cups of water that was pulled from the meat. It also made the brisket hard. I didn't cut any to see if the nitrite did it's job and gave it that nice red color inside, but I'll find that out soon enough.
It took 5.5-6 hours on the smoker to get my pastrami up to the right temp. I'm finding that this thing cooks everything just a bit faster than most smokers.
So anyway, it turned out with a nice red inside the way it's supposed to with a spicy pepper crust. I sliced a little bit off to see. It's pretty salty and spicy. Tonight, I'll experiment with a couple ways to treat it for the last step. Katz steams theirs for three hours I think. I might try putting a chunk in a crock pot on a rack with some water under it. Last night I took a tiny bit of the piece I cut off and nuked it in a small bowl with some water. It essentially turned the water into a rich salty beef jus. I sopped that up with some bread and ate it. Really flavorful but very salty.
I think I'll also try soaking some slices in cold water for a little while to cut the saltiness down. Maybe four days was too long to cure it. If the thickest part of the brisket is cured all the way through, I'll test curing half the time next time.
Well I've put the entire brisket through the slicer and I've got a mountain of pastrami now. I was overly worried about the saltiness. (The piece I tested was from the very tip of the brisket flat and saltier than the rest.) I should add up what I spent on this to see if it's worth it to do it this way or just buy it. The quality is definitely better than the average supermarket kind, I think.

It's an experiment. I enjoy the process. I might do it again and improve it, or never touch it again. In Europe, charcuterie is commonplace, but over here, it's just not part of the scene. I will be trying salume of various types in a wine fridge with a couple adjustments. I can't buy Jamon Iberico or saucisson sec in the US of pasteurized A. I'm not blowing the cash it will take to make the good stuff until I can at least make some decent pastrami and pancetta. It's education.
So yeah, I wound up with ~5lb pastrami from my experiment. Enough to live on long enough to sail to the New World. :P

We've moved offices so I've been trying to find somewhere to get a cheap lunch. Stumbled on a Persian cafe and had a pitta bread wrap with hot chicken kebab, hummus, raw spinach and pomegranate. Deee-lish, and cheaper that a supermarket sandwich.

On the grill:
Chicken thighs and breasts, brats and some jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese, bacon and pastrami.
The same pastrami I made a couple weeks ago, actually.
NY strip, medium, done on the cast-iron. Baked potato and green beans cooked in the steak juices after they came off with some diced bacon and chives.
When cooking the steak I've discovered I don't need any butter or anything. I just sear it on the fatty edge by standing it on end first. That gets me enough cooking medium to do the whole thing. Steak + pan. Nothing else.

I find that rubbing a little olive oil on the steak itself after dry-rubbing it to be more than enough, and it seems to make the pan frying more consistent.
I just had chicken parmesan.

Had dinner at Gasthaus tonight, a German restaurant in town that I CANNOT BELIEVE I'd never eaten at before, as it was absolutely terrific. :blush:
I had Jagerschnitzel with spatzle and carrots, a glass of Franziskaner Weissbier, and coffee and weichselstrudel for dessert.

Nah - all the ash and whatnot in the bottom was seriously building up. Plus the heat shields were corroding away to nothing, so I had bits of rusted-out metal everywhere too. Like I said - bad.
I usually crank the grill for 10 minutes before cooking anything on it anyways.

Nothing right now, but this weekend we'll be making a German-style breakfast. :cool:
Rye bread, pretzel rolls, salami, ham, gouda, and nutella with coffee. :cool:
Consumed. My favorite part was the pretzel roll spread with nutella. :cool:
Pop-tart. Cherry. Frosted.
I am mere minutes away from a delicious eggs benedict.
bananas foster - delicious.
Fire is lit in the Akorn. I have two ribeyes, a tri-tip, some drumsticks and a pack of bratwursts. Normally, I'd use the big grill for this but it's a touch windy and this one is a lot easier to control.
Cheese. Sharp cheddar.
Some PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO. In all caps too. Damn iPad cut and paste.
Just made some kraft macaroni and cheese deluxe with fontina thrown in. :cool:
Ben & Jerry's "Half Baked" ice cream.
Scrambled eggs with grated cheese and some bratwurst bits thrown in. I felt like having a heavy breakfast on this rainy morning.

Sounds ridiculously good.
Recipe:
Slice&dice two small to medium bratwursts in 1/5 inch (half centimeter) bits.
Fry the bits in a little oil till desired degree of brown-ness is reached.
Prepare scrambled eggs mix: three eggs, salt pepper and herbs to taste, a handful grated cheese - whisk.
Pour egg mixture over bratwurts bits and fry/still till you're happy with the result.
Optional: some chopped onion, to fry with the bratwurst bits.
Croissant.

Some sort of Rasberry cookie I don't know the name of.
Homemade, from scratch pizza.
Ossum.
With a couple of guests over (not mine), I was munching greedily out of a plastic container those little sesame sticks you get in bar mixes.
Carne asada tacos. Yes, grilled. I'm averaging about 2x a week on the grill recently.
Skip--I also do my scratch pizzas on the grill. I put a paving stone in there and crank the coals up to about half the smelting temp of copper. Pizza comes out perfect on just a couple minutes. :lol:
Olive bread with prosciutto and a thins slice of parmesan.
Had a pot roast with potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts, bread, and a Merlot I bought at the Biltmore. :cool:

Bison is too lean to make for a really great steak. You have to have some sort of sauce to make it really good.
On the other hand, I've had a a mean elk steak once or twice...
Yeah, I just had it plain, medium rare, with roasted brussels sprouts (which were awesome).
I got home from work...was tired, but put dinner in the oven and then fell asleep. :P
I woke up about an hour later. Dinner wasn't BURNED but it had been severely dried out. The skin was tough but at least the chicken was still juicy and moist inside of that shell. :lol:
Kappa sushi is doing 80 yen a plate this month.
I've had it twice since Sunday already but am tempted to go again.
Its not like I need the 20 yen savings so desperately...but it just feels nice.... :blush:
Had Skyline Chili for dinner. I hadn't been there for a while and doused my chili with their hot sauce. Either it's WAY hotter than I remember or they've made it hotter recently. My butt hurts now. :(

Some of the Chicago boys were supposed to come to town today so we arranged for BBQ to be brought in, but for some reason O'Hare was closed down so they cancelled the trip. But we didn't cancel the BBQ :cool:

I think I'll eat pie for lunch tomorrow.
Too windy?
OMG I KILL ME
Leftovers quesadilla. Made with (this time) leftover tri-tip steak taco meat, scrambled eggs, some rice and chickpeas, a bit of kielbasa and some roasted red bell peppers. Put all the leftovers smothered with cheese between a couple of huge size tortillas and cook in the oven for ten or fifteen minutes on a pretty high temp. Cut like a pizza. Can do with just about anything you find in the fridge.
It's cheater day for the cook. :P

I want some more pie but I'm stuck on a conference call and I have to occasionally say shit, so I can't easily sneak out of my office. FUCK.
Yay! Call over. So after about a dozen utterances of "paradigm shift", "best practices", "proof of concept", "ROI", "sustainability", and "control compliance" I get to have more pie. :cool:
Spicy Squid with White Rice. Leftovers = nomnom!
I didn't have enough white rice leftovers, so I ordered some from a nearby restaurant to supplement. The woman who owned the restaurant added an order of hot and sour soup because "you no eat jus' rice! You eat soup, too. Jus' goin' eat rice... tsk tsk tsk... whadda' matte' wit' you!" :D

Met a friend for dinner at an Italian place. Had a mixed cheese platter with grapes as a starter and a pizza with pepperoni, buffalo mozzarella and rucola (rocket?) as main course.
Just for Caliga and Paula Deen, I'm making a frogmore stew/low(high?)country boil. Outside. And not frying any of it.

Buttermilk Koldskål (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttermilk_koldsk%C3%A5l)
The local bakery won the Danish Championship in Koldskål and now sells it from the store at an insane price.
But it is goddamn delicious.
For dinner we had bread (homemade by me), cheese, fruit (apples and pears), salami, prosciutto, and wine. :cool:
We do this dinner on occasion and always try to pick a couple of different cheeses, including ones we've never had before if possible. Today's cheeses:
Saint-Andre - triple cream Brie-like cheese from Coutances, Normandy. It was a little too rich for my liking, but went well smeared on pear and apple slices.
Époisses de Bourgogne - one of the worst-smelling cheeses I've ever had, but had a pretty good taste. Overwhelmed most everything I put it on, but was too pungent to be eaten alone, so I ended up eating it with bread.
Mahón - from the city of the same name on Minorca. I LOVED this cheese, easily my favorite of the three. The only one I really liked eating all on its own.

Had mussels & fries as my appetizer at a Belgian restaurant downtown. For my meal, I had: chicken & waffle! The place is in Over the Rhine, so it was appropriate.

Did you have to travel far?
Tommy has been bugging me to take him to White Castle. I'm getting half-tempted to take him just to show him why I keep saying no.
That said, I kinda liked White Castle as a kid. We didn't have one nearby, so it was kind of a novelty when we visited a town that had one.
I had White Castle once. I thought the worst was over when I somehow managed to finish it, but soon it was obvious that it was about to get a lot worse. And it did. :( :x :pinch:

Princesca and I tried a Nigerian restaurant today. It was AWESOME. :mmm:
We got moin-moin for an appetizer, which are these little bean curd cake things topped with a spicy tomato sauce.
For entrees Princesca got chicken peanut stew, the stew being a very peanutty curry, basically. It came with fufu, which is this stuff kind of like grits.
I got Peri-Peri chicken, which was a blackened breast of chicken marinated in some sort of extremely hot spice, with a side of jollof rice (basically rice in a spicy tomato paste) and a side of kuchambari, which was like a sort of cole slaw in some purple lemony sauce.

I've had two tomato plants growing on my deck. They made a whole whack of really ugly, split tomatoes. I did the only thing I could - made tomato sauce.

I nearly set fire to the neighborhood this evening.
I was doing some tri tip and corn on the cob in the grill. I finished the corn and took it off, brought it in the house. In the amount of time it took to get the corn inside and get back out there my tri tip had basically exploded in flames. I mean my charcoal disintegrated, my grill brush caught fire and I couldn't put it out without turning on the hose. I sprayed down the trees behind the grill just to be safe. The air here is already full of smoke from the fires over the hill, tbh. My contribution might have been noticed otherwise.
Beef tallow can apparently create a massive amount of heat in very little time. The flames were about five feet high. I was able to salvage it but I'm very good at this and even I can get caught out by random acts of immolation.
Edit: This was the first time in a while I used the normal grill instead of the Akorn, which is much easier to control. I may be getting spoiled. At least all the spiders are certainly dead.

We went to a nice place tonight for our anniversary.
I had five courses prix fixe : first was a jumbo scallop in a grapefruit beurre blanc, second was a rocket, pickled onion, and goat cheese salad, third was a filet of coho salmon over asparagus and a pancetta risotto, fourth was a 4 oz filet mignon, fingerling potatoes, and roast broccoli with a caramelized foie gras sauce, and fifth was some kind of chocolate tart with mixed berries and a scoop of banana ice cream. Had a glass of malbec to drink with dinner and coffee for dessert. Really good meal.
Princesca ordered a la carte and her main course was roasted quail with morels, which she did NOT like. :( Neither one of us had ever had morels before and she gave me one to taste. It was... odd. I don't really know how to describe the flavor other than it was oddly sweet, which I'm not sure if that was natural to the morel or had something to do with how it was prepared. :hmm:
Went to Waffle House for the first time ever today.
It was pretty good.

What about salsa?
You're right. I could have made home-made salsa as well.

Well just for garbon* I made fresh salsa last night. Served it on top of carne asada for slightly more authentic tacos (compared to the stuff from a kit we usually make). Darn good actually. :thumbsup:
*Not really, but I realized that in addition to the fresh tomatoes I needed to use, I also needed to use up the chili peppers I'd grown...

Princesca had to get a CPAP machine this morning and I tagged along. The respiratory dude screwed up the appointment time and was an hour late, so we missed karate and decided to tour the Four Roses distillery instead, which was just a few miles away. After that, we went to this place called Wallace Station Deli for lunch. It was featured on that food show with Guy Fieri one time. Princesca got the burger that he had there and said it was "one of the five best burgers anywhere" and thought it was good, but said Five Guys is better. :lol: She thought their fries were the best she's ever had though... tossed in truffle oil and topped with shredded white cheddar with a garlic aioli for dipping. I don't know if I would go that far, but they were definitely good.
Steak and a baked potato tonight.
A very brief history lesson... Alberta politics are weird. Always have been. One of the many strange things about this province is that despite having a well-earned reputation for being right-wing, we actually have a government-owned bank. It used to be Alberta Treasury Branch, now called ATB Financial. It was set up by the Social Credit government back in the 1930s, and is still going strong. It operates exclusively in Alberta, and as such escapes any federal regulation.
So anyways, the food truck I go up to has a bunch of ATB Financial flags around it. I get in line, and a lady approaches me and says that it's ATB's 75th anniversary. To celebrate, they were sponsoring a special Avocado, Bacon and Tomato burger at this food truck (ATB burger, get it :rolleyes). It was for $5 instead of the regular $10 they'd charge (and indeed everything else on the menu was ~$10).
So, because Bible Bill Aberhart wanted to stick it to the big banks back in the depression, I got a half-price burger, plus a lunchkit and some jelly beans today. Strangest promotion ever.
The burger itself was very good. The avocado (well, guacamole) was surprisingly tasty on a burger.
But this is probably my last day for eating lunch outside from a food truck. :(
Home-made pizza. :)
Had for lunch a Chicken BBQ pizza with extra salami, bacon, jalapenos, red onions, feta and tabasco. With Cheesy crust.
Soy stuff spaghetti. Pretty delicious.
Zigeuner Schnitzel
PS: before somebody asks, it was NOT stolen.
Golden Corral's buffet. Had steak, lasagna, ham, taco, more steak... Too much food. :blush:
My mother in law likes to cook me dinner for my birthday. I always ask her to make something from a different ethnic cuisine each year because I like to broaden peoples' horizons. :cool:
This year, I picked Dutch in honor of my Dutch ancestors. She will be making this thing where you boil a bunch of taters and then sort of mash them up with butter. In a separate pot you cook down greens (kale or endive) and steam sausage over top of them, and in a skillet you cook up small pieces of bacon and onion. At the end you mix it all together and serve the sausage on top. I forget what it's called off the top of my head but it means "mash pot" in Dutch I think.
I also had her make me an apple pie for dessert but it's a little different than an 'American' apple pie in that you mix in cream of wheat/semolina and shredded bread and use a bunch more spices than usual (including cardamom and black pepper), and raisins soaked in rum or brandy.
The apple pie sounds good anyway.

Sounds similar to the Northwest German "Grünkohl" dish.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale
QuoteA whole culture around kale has developed in north-western Germany around the towns of Bremen, Oldenburg and Hannover. There, most social clubs of any kind will have a Grünkohlessen or Kohlfahrt ("kale tour") sometime between October and February, visiting a country inn to consume large quantities of kale stew, Pinkel sausage, Kassler, Mettwurst and Schnapps. These tours are often combined with a game of Boßeln. Most communities in the area have a yearly kale festival which includes naming a "kale king" (or queen).

What's the difference between cafe con leche and coffee with milk?
Here's how I make cafe con leche, which tastes just like what you can get in Miami:
1. Fill coffee cup 1/4 full with cold milk.
2. Add a punch of salt to the milk.
3. Pour milk into steel frothing pitcher.
4. Add white sugar to frothing pitcher. I usually use about two tsp. of sugar.
5. Steam milk with steaming wand on espresso machine.
6. Pour steamed milk back into coffee cup.
7. Fill single shot filter on espresso handle with Cafe Bustelo ground coffee.
8. Pull shot of espresso into coffee cup, stirring constantly with a teaspoon.
It looks like a lot of steps but it only takes a few minutes to make.

Fried chicken, two helpings of stuffing, mashed potatoes, sausage, cheese, pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie...washed down by rum and coke.
I made it out without going back for seconds. Turkey, brussels sprouts, stuffing, mashed taters, corn, green bean casserole, a roll, a piece of pecan pie (because pumpkin equals hurl), one cup of coffee (with the pie), and about 592 glasses of a nice, strong, peppery Zinfandel.

In terms of spice it was similar; but they use more saffron. They don't have as many bean dishes, rice is more the staple, and their bread is the Middle Eastern pita style bread.
The Ethiopian food I've had has come from westernized restaurants; while everyone at the cafe we were at yesterday was a recent immigrant so it's hard for me to make an informed comparison.

It's square, deep dish and cooked in cast iron pans. The pizza isn't as thick as a Chicago-style pizza and the crust isn't at all like what you'd get at Gino's East or Pizza Uno. It's crisp and much less dense.

The answer for today is "too fucking much": camerones a la diabla at one of my local Mexican eateries while I was having my tires replaced, and I finished the entire complimentary basket of chips by myself too; several scoops' worth of ice cream; and I just opened the package of hot fries. I'm all fucked up and I need some kind of stimulant to bring my appetite down.
I don't even think I cracked the 1800 calorie barrier yesterday. I suffer from a soul crushing ennui.
I got dinner with my wife and some friends last night at one of metro Detroit's older restaurants, Peking House. I had a dish that is common to the Detroit-Windsor area, but almost unheard of anywhere else; Almond Boneless Chicken (ABC on many menus; Wai Shu Gai on ones that try to pass it off as authentic Chinese.) It's an Americanized Chinese Dish, that's deep fried chicken served on a bed of iceberg lettuce and served with a spicy gravy and almonds:

Some restaurants take liberties with it, the version I had last night had broccoli in it.
The other unusual thing that you'll see at many Chinese restaurants in Detroit is that take out, (and sometimes sit-down meals) comes with sweet rolls. That's likely because a number of restaurant owners had lived in Hawaii before they came to Detroit.
Yesterday I ate: prime rib :wub: , potatoes au gratin, green beans with almonds, a really good green salad with some pickled onions, more potatoes, and a sampling of about three billion desserts, including ice cream sandwiches made with homemade chocolate chip cookies.
I ate a McDonalds Big Breakfast.

When my grandfather was a young man he lived in a multi-ethnic neighborhood on Detroit's west side. Every Greek immigrant his family knew had a restaurant; so he assumed that every Greek owned a restaurant. He wasn't too far off in Detroit; the typical family restaurant and the ubiquitous Coney Island serves Greek food. CB and I went to one yesterday; National Coney Island. I had their Coney Dogs, a hot dog topped with a meat chili; the chili is flavored with typical Greek spices like oregano and garlic. CB got the Gyros with chicken lemon rice soup (soup avgolemono, but no one calls it that in Detroit.)
The other common dish most local restaurants carry is a Greek salad. The salads I had in Athens were simply tomato, onion and feta with an oil and vinegar dressing. In Detroit a Greek salad is iceberg lettuce, salad peppers, feta, onions, beets, garbanzo beans, and black olives. The dressing usually an oil and vinegar dressing with feta, oregano and garlic. This is so common in Detroit that many bar and grills will carry it.
Made a Cuban breakfast this morning. Cafe con leche, fried ham, eggs and rice, tostadas, and tostones. :licklips:

Nah, just trying various burger places. The problem is to find a decent one in Vienna. One of your best bets would be Burger King, actually, especially when it comes to price vs. quality.
The one I order the above from was actually pretty good (you had to put the burger into the microwave for a minute to re-heat it, though) - I've had some horrible burgers here; either everything soggy and mushed, or so dry you could use it as blotting paper. A chili burger where the "cili" was a small dollop of tabasco hidden in the middle. Etc.
One of the best "burgers" was the "Crispy Queenslander" at an Australian place which put a chicken filet (deep fried in beer batter) on the bun with a slice of pineapple. Unfortunately, that tasty morsel has been discontinued. :(
We've had a few restaurants pop up with "gourmet burgers" on the menu. $25 for a burger. Good, but not worth it. The best burger is homemade, but yeah, that can't compete in price with the chains.

It's Engineer's Week at GE; which means I have twice as many rah-rah meetings to skip and team building activities to avoid as usual. It also means breakfast is provided throughout the week. Today we got Einstein Brother's bagels and fruit salad. :)
Back at the last place I worked they would occasionally have an early safety meeting and have all of the office workers come in early and make breakfast for the real workers. We had a Chinese guy as a technician who had been in the country for ~5-6 years; he had never eaten the western version of pancakes. He loved them so much we took him to the store, bought him some pancake mix and made sure he understood how to explain making the pancakes to his wife. He then made her make him pancakes for every meal he ate at home for something like 2 weeks straight.

I call it bachelor chow. Those long lonely nights with nothing more than a pound of hamburger near and a box of Kraft Mac and cheese.
And after eating half of it, I stick my dick in the rest of it.
So ronery.
I didn't stick my dick in it. I'll have to try that with the leftovers.
..and this is more Cincinnati chili than chili mac, I guess. It was made with spaghetti and topped with shredded cheddar.
My gourmet bachelor dish is a can of tuna in mac. With parmesan on top. :)
I love me some mac and tuna. I do not like Parmesan cheese.
My recent bachelor dish:
- 1 bag of Trader Joe's turkey meatballs.
- 1 bag of Trader Joe's frozen vegetable blend.
- Microwave meatballs long enough to be able to cut, thaw veggies under hot water, dice meatballs, mix all together in cook in a wok for a bit. Makes a couple 350-400 calorie meals (one usually saved for lunch the next day).

That's actually one I had never heard of.
From that list, I have had:
Alabama: Alabama-Style Chicken Sandwich With White Sauce
Arkansas: Fried Bologna Sandwich (not in Arkansas though... we have those exact sandwiches here)
California: The French Dip
Connecticut: Connecticut-Style Hot Lobster Roll
Florida: The Cuban
Illinois: The Italian Beef
Indiana: The Pork Tenderloin
Iowa: Loose-Meat Sandwich (in Missouri, though)
Kentucky: The Hot Brown
Louisiana: The Muffaletta
Maine: Lobster Roll
Massachusetts: The Fluffernutter
New Hampshire: Beer-Battered Fish Sandwich
New Jersey: Italian Sub - White House Subs is literally the best sub shop on the planet :licklips:
North Carolina: Chopped Pork
Ohio: The Polish Boy :cool:
Texas: Brisket on Toast
Vermont: Vermonter
Wisconsin: The Red Brat
I never even heard of the place listed for Pennsylvania, and it's ludicrous that the state sammich wasn't the cheesesteak. Jersey probably should have been the Pork Roll, too, though like I said White House Subs in AC is amazing.

Those are only popular in the western half of Michigan's upper peninsula. I went to college up there, and I don't much care for them; they're bland and heavy. The locals love them, though they douse them in catsup.
Given the prolific number of Greek and Middle Eastern cafes in the Detroit area the Gyro would probably have been a better choice for Michigan; or maybe the loose hamburgers from the Coney Islands.

I was in Pittsburgh for business once. My coworkers insisted that we go to Primanti Brothers for their signature sandwich of meat, cole slaw and fries; but none of the Pistburghers ordered that. After having one I didn't blame them. So at least Pennsylvania's wasn't that.

@Sav Yet, to a lot of people, that sandwich would be odd what with the roast pork and all. Same for the fried baloney sandwich from 'Arkansas' (in reality it's all over the Midwest and Upper South).
Overall I would have to say the Cuban sandwich is the best one on the list if it's done well.
Yeah, but you gotta pick the trashiest state for fried bologna. That was probably a coin-flip between Arkansas and West Virginia.

I've never had that buffalo sammich thing. I bet the writer just picked that as they drove by Laramie at 90mph on I-80.
Dude I work with is in town for meetings next week and brought his girlfriend along, and we went to this place in Germantown called EiDERDOWN. It was DER BOMB. :showoff:
I had duck fat popcorn, beer cheese, and a 'nachburger' medium rare with German tater salad, washed down with a hefeweizen and chocolate pot de creme for dessert. The burger was made with all local ingredients (local grass beef, bacon, etc.) served on a brioche bun.

I've had it that way, but I don't remember my favorite brand (Seltzer's?) having it. Anyway, this stuff was pretty well-made. Boar's Head is usually pretty solid.
I remember back in Delaware you had your choice of like 5 or 6 brands or variants in most delis.
Ah, Lebanon ham. :)
I miss all that Pennsyltucky food and drink. :( I really lived the dream there for a while, residing in Philadelphia but driving to see my girlfriend in Pittsburgh every other weekend. Taking day trips to Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Allentown. Side trips to Delco all the time, Doylestown, Norristown. Stopping off in Altoona, Harrisburg, Ephrata, Carlisle, Lancaster, Lebanon, Reading, etc. Only place of note I never really got to was Erie. And most of the emptiness that comprises the famous "T."
So I ate cheesesteaks (American w/ fried onions) all over Phila. and Delco (since some of the best spots were actually in inner suburbs like Upper Darby), noting the regional subtleties; for instance, steaks in Northeast Phila. use sliced beef rather than chopped. I ate warm links of soft pretzels every morning in the freezing pre-work darkness as I walked past a pretzel bakery on my way to the bus stop, three for a dollar. I cooled off with cones of water ice outside the library on hot summer days. I ate stromboli where it was invented in the early 50s (and named after the movie), at a place by the airport in Essington. I got take-out panzarotti, those fried little calzone things peculiar to South Jersey and South Philly. I gorged on the roast pork sandwiches, dripping with juice, sharp provolone and greens. I ate scrapple and fried eggs in countless greasy spoons, accompanied by bad coffee and a cigarette burning in the ashtray, before the smoking ban. Sometimes I swapped pork roll, but scrapple was my preference. I ate Primanti sandwiches in downtown Pittsburgh, pierogies and halupki in Bloomfield, chipped ham on a day trip to Wheeling W.V., and great hot dogs in Oakland. For dessert, there was always Clark bars out west, Tastykakes and Goldenberg's Peanut Chews out east, whoopie pies in Dutch country. And I washed it all down with cases (and it was always cases because of the wacky liquor laws) of cheap beer: Iron City, Rolling Rock, Straub, Lionshead, Stegmaier, Yuengling Lager, Lord Chesterfield Ale, Schmidt's, Reading Premium, etc. Not to mention the occasional pint of a delightful microbrew, of which there were too many to name. A cold Pennsylvania Dutch birch beer now and then for non-alcoholic refreshment.

Between my mind-numbing sedentary job, newfound discovery of happy hour, and culinary explorations, I put on 40 pounds, it's true.
Festively plump?
Warn't nothing festive about it. :glare: I was pretty cadaverous beforehand, it's true, but I did have to go up a waist size and I've never made it back down. I still have my old pants stored away. :cry: Even as the glimmer of possibility recedes into the mists of "could-have-been"... :weep:
Doc review hit me to the tune of about 20 pounds. I'm a little better.
In UNRELATED NEWS, I had 14 cookies and two cups of Nissin Super Picante noodles for lunch/supper/whatever a day long meal would be called. Thanks Kroger!
I ate two cherry pop tarts for a snack.
Snickers bar with almonds instead of peanuts. It's really good.
Abomination :o
Damn, my evening lentils came out fabulously, if I say so myself. :)
Boiled them quickly in water for 2 minutes. In a pan I set bacon, onions, garlic, celery, bay leaf, black pepper, paprika, chili sauce, and apple cider vinegar to simmer. Then I added the lentils along with some chicken stock and a little hot water from the pot, and let the liquid mostly evaporate. SUCH FLAVORFUL
I've been gorging shamefully on Passover candy the last few days. :Embarrass: :Joos
Chocolate-covered marshmallow twists, chocolate-covered macaroons, chocolate-covered matzoh. :mmm: And most especially those marshmallow rectangles covered, not in chocolate, but in toasted coconut flakes -- they're only 20 calories each, I swear! :blush:
I ate a third of a bag of Reese minatures in the parking lot of a Dollar General.
I've done the same thing before (though it may have been with those miniature Hershey Bars w/ Almonds). :)
Caprese salad with prosciutto and apple wine. :cool:
"Flame kissed" chicken from Winn-Dixie. It was tasty.

The ham has been split three ways between the family visitors (freeloaders), but I kept the core and the bones. I always do this, Thanksgiving turkey, etc. They've been on the simmer for about 20 hours and now I have 2 gallons of stock. I filled all the mason jars I had available (6) and most of a huge pot which I will use for potato soup in a couple days.
30 bucks, 20 pound ham, who knows how many meals it will end up contributing to. Who knows how much money I've saved since I learned to do this.
I just love it. Take bones, cover with water, put on lowest heat available, go play video games for seventeen hours. And the house smells great too.
Hot ham water?

It's a beautiful day today, and I had off, so I decided to take a stroll to Mariahilfer Straße, the main shopping street, for some purchases. At the far end is one of our few KFCs. I hadn't been in a long time, so with a swing in my step and a tune on my lips I thought, "Why not?"
Their soda fountain seems to be broken. At any rate, they were pouring coke from bottles instead. Ok, can happen.
I had a chicken cheese sandwich menu and some hot wings. The fries were practically unsalted. Worse, though: the sandwich was dripping with mayonnaise - almost like they had dunked all the ingredients in it. The worst: the chicken was lukewarm at best, and the rest of the ingredients had a temperature as if they had come straight from the refrigerator.
I rarely complain in a fast food joint, but I returned that frozen thing and had it replaced by a warm one. I did get some extra chicken strips for free, though. And the hot wings were ok.

I like coffee flavored sweets. I guess in this one the cardamom was too dominant. Also, I think they may have left out the sugar. It's weird to eat a non-sweet ice cream.

My kids like that place. I haven't eaten there in a year or two but the burger with the barbecue sauce was pretty decent.
Just had a ham & cheese sammich on toasted pretzel bread. Slammin'. You could put just about anything on that bread (which is really just a soft pretzel with sesame seeds instead of salt) and have it taste good.

About half of it. It was just going to get trashed if I didn't. I bought too much, it was too greasy, and while the shrimp and chicken were fine, the beef was leathery and kind of gross.

Oh, I know. Just commenting the "beef" you get at those places. Which isn't always better than the "chicken".
In my experience it's actually not bad at Panda Express, but that's definitely the exception as far as Chinese places go.
I've stopped getting chicken dishes at Chinese carry outs. The way they hack up the little wok-ready bits always leaves some nasty tendons and shit.

Right near me a few macaron places have opened up.

Ah, I see you're unfamiliar with Red Robin. They offer veggie patty alternatives. They're actually quite delicious.
I have accidentally gotten one with bacon before. Oopsy. For a no-education service position that actually pays almost a living wage, you'd think waiters and waitresses would do their jobs slightly better--I was trained to be sensitive to customers' needs, and I'd have definitely suspected that someone getting a veggie patty burger might be a vegetarian and ask if the bacon was, if you'll pardon the pun, kosher.
Of course, the actual goal of waitstaff is turnover, because money. Service is secondary. We live in terrible days with a time horizon on our decisionmaking processes that doesn't extend past about sixty seconds.

They smoked the hell out of it. Even my baked beans were smoked somehow.
If you ever venture up here again, the place may be worth checking out: http://elisbarbeque.com/
They're kind of a minimalist setup-- they have limited seating indoors and it's BYOB (which I actually prefer being able to bring my own). But it's getting quite popular. There are a few other mom & pop BBQ places around here I need to check out-- dunno why it took me so long to branch out from Montgomery Inn.

The grocery at the corner had steak at half price because its best before date is this Sunday. I picked up a pound each of rib-eye and a pound of rump steak for under €10 (which is a huge bargain here).
Just had the rib-eye with baked potato and a small salad. Very good cut, though I would say that the slices were two thin (half an inch instead of a full inch), making it a bit tricky to fry it rare, but I managed.
Tomorrow the rump steak, then.
For the first time in quite a while I went to a French restaurant today. This one specializes in Provencal cuisine. It was: delicious.
I had a merguez sandwich. It was a baguette with merguez (mutton sausage spiced with harissa), dijon, carrot, and lettuce served with pommes frites and a mesclun salad. Had a glass of wine from Carcasonne with that (I forget what it was called exactly but it tasted like a merlot).
I had two egg and cheese biscuits and a couple bowls of ramen. I might have a third.
I've eaten a ton of merguez, never new it was mutton.
Just got back from the German-American Club Gesangverein biergarten. Hadn't been before but Princesca and I were figuring it would just be a few dozen old people... there were probably over 1,000 people there though. :cool: There were a surprising number of actual Germans there, also.

Princesca and I do this thing sometimes where we watch a movie and make a dinner 'appropriate' to the movie. Last night we watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, so we found a Bolivian recipe to go along with it.... some thing called 'majao'.
It was the SHIZNIT! :cool: Basically, you take either beef jerky or beef stew meat and boil it in brine for ten minutes. You then set the beef aside and save the water. Meanwhile, you saute red onion in corn oil till translucent, and then add chopped tomato, cayenne pepper, a cup of the brine, and two beef bouillon cubes to the pan. After you cook all that shit together you throw it into tthe pot with the rest of the brine, add two cups of rice, and then some more water, and you cook the rice up like a risotto, basically.
Meanwhile, you take two plantains, cut them in half, and fry them in a little corn oil (I used an electric griddle for this). Once those are done and the rice has absorbed all of the water, you fry two eggs and serve the majao with the plantains on the side and topped with a fried egg.

You can't fail with a smoked chicken in my experience (so long as you don't overcook it.) Even if you hadn't used a rub it would still turn out well. A dark beer with your rub added would make for an excellent mop.
Dinner went well amd the chicken was great, though it didn't have a whole hell of a lot of smoke flavor. I was afraid to overdo it on the wood chips so I a) didn't soak them, and b) only added like 3-4 new chips once an hour or so (I did fill the chip hopper up before I started the smoker, too).

Caribou in the local cuisine is often overrated. For example, you can find "caribou hot dogs" for sale, and when you read the ingredients, they say "contains beef, pork, and some caribou meat".
Pure caribou foods are pretty rare.

Just had one of the nicest burgers in my time in Vienna - and from a delivery service, no less (a few blocks away).
On the bottom part of the bun was a jam from glazed bacon, and some rucola/rocket. Then the nicely grilled 1/4 pounder. On it, a few slices of cherry tomatoes, and a few more rucola leaves. On top, just enough blue cheese to be absorbed into the bun without getting soggy.
It looked small, but was really filling, and the ingredients very nicely complimented each other without any one becoming overbearing.
Because I say so, it's official: Carl's Jr. is better than Hardee's.

THIS SAUCE AINT SWEET ENOUGH Y'ALL
The location for our company Christmas dinner this year will be a fancy experimental sushi/Japanese place. Nothing says Axe-Mas like an octopus tepanyaki.
Had Mac&Cheese with salsa chicken strips, grilled bacon and jalapenos, done over with extra cheddar.
Trying a self-inspired, bachelor-capable, makeshift meatloaf recipe:
- Bison hamburger
- frozen chopped onions
- frozen chopped kale
- frozen chopped peppers
- a few dashes of garlic/herb seasoning
- some sea salt
- egg
- a bit of almond flour
- substituted diced tomatoes from the original recipe with tomato/garlic pasta sauce.
- I lacked ketchup for the topping, so I substituted BBQ sauce.
We'll see how it turns out in about an hour. :P
Don't see the point of the kale.

Texture was iffy, but not bad (not enough kale to be a factor).
Tastes good though, so all is good. :)
Had my first attempt at a cheddar cheese sauce with bacon bits yesterday.
Result: mediocre. I had to use twice the milk suggested in the recipe to get the right consistency, and I think I used too much flour, because it's pretty dominant in taste. Also, I need to find a balance for the spices I add.
However, served over potato wedges and deep fried chicken it's surprisingly edible.
Just had a motherfucking delicious store brand pizza. Pesto and mozzarella. Would not have predicted that it would be possibly the best pizza I've had in about five years. It was very similar to the pizza place in my hometown, long since closed. Thick dollops of cheese on crunchy crust. Tastes like: nostalgia.
For what it's worth, I've found the frozen Kashi thin-crust pizzas to be quite good, and the calorie count not too intolerable if one were to indulge in the entire thing in one meal.

New York pizza is generally larger and thinner than standard American pizza. All the folding and what not.

The best pizza joints are the out-of-the-way neighborhood ones that specialize in New York-style the size of trash can lids with enough grease to lube an RV, and like garbon says, you have to fold into an origami model of a XB-70 Valkyrie to eat.
Pizza Hut's only saving grace is their crust. They opened a Little Caesar's here recently, but I'm hesitant to try it, as it may spoil what little positive memories i have of it.
Anybody have any "The Big Cheese" franchises near you? Or is that just a Mobtown thing?
I generally look down upon Little Caesers, but someone brought a ton into work one day, and for cheap-o crap pizza, it wasn't too bad.
Recently we noticed that fish prices are in many cases lower than the price of chicken or pork around here. :huh: So last week we had red snapper for dinner one night and tilapia the other, and bought tilapia filets again this week. Last week we tossed the tilapia in a mix of ground almonds, flour, and polenta, pan fried in olive oil, and then drizzled with browned butter. :mmm: Not sure how we'll do the tilapia this week.

Ah - ok. Then no more donuts for awhile.

They are very tempting seeing them in all the stores. But as long as no one brings them into the office I do ok.

Got a big pot of Texas chili on the stove. It's a new recipe I got from a dude I know from a meat smoking forum who lives in Whitehouse, TX (think that's someplace near Dallas). It's saltier than any chili I've tasted before. He puts a tbsp of Tony's in it and that's probably why, as that stuff is probably more salt and MSG than anything else.

Well, there's not many donut shops here. You can get a chocolate donut at most bakeries, but beyond that there's not much. It seems DD's is also serving bagles here, so that's a bit of a plus, but we have a few places for that already.
In and Out Burger. Double-double animal style. :cool:
Bad experience today, though. The one I went to had a posted capacity of 63 persons and there were easily double that in there.

I'm asking, because Ph in Thai words is usually pronounced more like P (yeah, I know not the same language, but they're in the general vicinity. :P ).
I think it's pronounced with a short u sound, like good.
Actually, now that I think about it, I believe I've heard it pronounced as "f-uh" (as in the "uh" sound) as well.

There are things that float around on the top and may linger for many flushes though(notably dead insects, though this goes for much smaller debris as well). It's more like drinking water that's been sitting in the sink a couple days than drinking out of the tap.

Real Mexican food is great IMO. Fake American Mexican restaurant food, not so much unless you really, really like cheese. I would wager British Mexican food is probably a lot like American Mexican food. I'm surprised you didn't like it in Mexico as I've never known anyone who disliked authentic Mexican food. :hmm:
It's not that I didn't like it. Just got bored of it. Refried beans with everything, rice, unleavened bread. Didn't seem much variety. Of course, I was only there for three weeks and only in the south of the country and MC, so hardly exposed to much of the country.

Oh sure their culture is "authentic" but mine is "fake". Stupid fake cultures.
But really that is because it is misnamed as "Mexican", since it is really border food. I also tend to associate it with being hot and spicy and less being cheesey. But your mileage may vary, I am sure it is different as you get away from Texas.
Hey Valmy, I'm thinking of cooking a chilli at the weekend. Any thoughts on this recipe from the Guardian, which attempts to be authentic
http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2011/may/12/cook-perfect-chilli-con-carne
Beef dripping or vegetable oil, to fry
1kg mince
2 onions, thinly sliced
5 cloves of garlic, minced
500ml freshly brewed coffee
2 chipotle chillies
2 ancho chillies
1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted
1 tbsp Mexican oregano
1 tbsp dark brown muscovado sugar
2 tsp chilli powder, or to taste
2 fresh long green chillies
400g cooked kidney beans
1. Heat the fat in a large, heavy-bottomed pan on a high heat, then brown the mince in batches, stirring regularly: don't crowd the pan, or it will steam rather than brown. Add the onions and stir fry briefly, until slightly browned.
2. Turn the heat down and add the garlic. Stir and cook until the onion has completely softened, then add the coffee and a generous pinch of salt and simmer, covered, for 2 hours.
3. Meanwhile, cut the stalks off the dried chillies and take out the seeds. Grind together in a pestle and mortar with rock salt and the roasted cumin seeds. Stir in the oregano and chilli powder.
4. Add the spices to the pan along with the sugar fresh chillies and simmer, partially covered, for another half hour, adding a little water if it seems dry, or you prefer a saucier chilli. 10 minutes before the end of cooking, add the beans, taste, and adjust the seasoning and spicing if necessary. If possible, leave overnight and reheat to serve.
Does the British version of chilli con carne have its own merits, or is it an affront to one of the southwest's proudest pieces of culinary heritages? Do tomatoes add anything to the dish – and what about the vexed question of beans? And what do you serve it with: rice, tortillas, or a big plate of chips?

Fake American Mexican restaurant food is pretty good, though usually would be better if tomatoes and chunky salsa were available to add, like on my fake American homemade tacos.
Does anyone know if the Margarita was invented in Mexico or the US?
Pretty sure Mexico.

Obviously both of those things, the tomatoes and the beans, are big no-nos :P
But generally I like that recipe, it sure keeps the focus on the chilis.
I generally serve mine with cheddar cheese, crackers, and pickles because I just think they taste really good with chili.

It was invented in Cuba by an American socialite (named...drum roll...Margaret). Nothing at all to do with Mexico.

Well nobody knows exactly. However I met the woman shortly before she died so I advance her story out of respect. Her Margaritas were really salty.
I think the margarita is pretty much a bonafide Mexican cocktail, even if it isn't hugely popular there, as long as it isn't the frozen slushy variety.
Still, the consummate Mexican mixed drink is the paloma -- a highball made of tequila and Squirt (grapefruit/citrus soda that can be simulated excellently by Polar Half-and-Half for those of us lucky enough to live in the distribution radius of Polar products from the home base in Worcester, Mass.) with a squeeze of lime, very much worth trying and IME more enjoyable than the very fine margarita.
Best of all is mixing up a small glass of sangrita (tomato juice, orange juice, lime juice) to back up a straight tequila. :yum:

Even in the Mexican origin stories it is still a border area creation and thus fake according to Caliga :(

I was given a bunch of frozen Puerto Rican pasteles, which I'd never had before, and I ate them over the course of this weekend. Ignore the cake-alluding name, they are similar I guess to tamales, except I think plantain meal is used as the flour instead of corn, and it's boiled after being wrapped in a banana leaf and tied with string. These had chicken among other fillings, and were fantastic. :mmm: A highly recommended choice if you find yourself at a Puerto Rican restaurant or at a big PR gathering with lots of home cooking.

No, nobody around here eats herring and it's impossible to get fresh (only canned). The next type of fish I'd probably try to smoke is trout.
I brought back some smoked trout when I went to Minnesoooota a while ago, and I have to say I didn't find it all that fun to eat.
Why not? :hmm:
Bones, plus I thought the smoke didn't add much to the flavor.
We cooked a big bone-in glazed ham for Easter.
:mmm:
My family has eaten plenty of ham, but usually cheap little hams where we didn't do much to prepare them other than reheat them. This one, however, was marvellous.
Went to a coworker's place for Easter dinner, had chicken cooked in a dutch oven (with vegetables and butter) out in back over a fire with coals.
Also, Mormons apparently make fantastic carrot cake. :)

Last night I got another salmon filet, cut it up, and dry cured it with dark brown sugar, salt, and black pepper all night in the fridge. The cure sucked all of the moisture out of the fish and basically turned it into gravlax. I then let it air dry for four hours and am now hot smoking it over cherry wood. :cool:
Put an apricot glaze on the filets a half hour before the end of smoke time and... one of the best meals I've ever made. :cool:

Breakfast - bacon, egg, and cheese tortilla
Lunch - burger, fries, and derby pie*
Dinner - fettuccine pesto with a hefeweizen
*I had lunch at a semi-famous old country store called Carriss's Grocery. The pie wasn't actual derby pie I don't think, because it didn't seem to have pecans in it. Princesca swore there was peanut butter in it but I didn't taste any.
I'm not a huge hot brown fan, but I've eaten them plenty of times I guess. I do like mint juleps but didn't make one yesterday.

Vanoli chimichurri sauce

Bake Love Coo! butter cookies
Dona Magdalena dulce de leche
Moa Gourmet green olive paste
Chamana and Inti Zen teas
Dulcor dulce de membrillo
I obviously know what chimichurri and dulce de leche are, but never heard of membrillo before. I googled it and I guess it's made from quinces?
The thing also came with a recipe for some cookies called alfajores that apparently are made with cornmeal and spread with dulce de leche. :hmm:

When I was in Whitehorse, at one point we had 3-4 Quebecker lawyers working in the office. One day they're all excited: the Association Franco-Yukonnais was putting on a poutine night, complete with cheese curds flown in from Quebec. They insisted I had to come with them to have poutine when I admitted I'd never had it.
So here I am with all these Quebeckers and I try my first ever "authentic" poutine... and what can I say. It's French fries with gravy and cheese. It's not a bad dish by any means, but it tasted exactly like I expected it to.

Also, some assclown was open carrying in the place while we were there. I always think that's a super douchey thing to do, and he kept patting his gun the whole time. I'm pretty sure he just got it and was strutting around with it like some gay compensating peacock.

Made jambalaya in the Big Green Egg. Easily the best jambalaya I've ever made, though the recipe I used oddly called for only ground beef and andouille. :hmm:
I'm definitely trying this one again without the ground beef and with chicken and/or shrimp, in addition to the andouille.

How is the Big Green Egg? I've wanted one for years and my wife is receptive. She'd like to do pizza in it, which it's certainly hot enough to do and you probably need a bigger one to do proper. Anyways appreciate your review of it as they ain't cheap.
I was eating leftover jambalaya today and discussing with my wife how EVERYTHING I've cooked in that thing has turned out awesome... not a single bad meal from it.
You can definitely do pizza and in fact, one of my Christmas presents was a pizza stone sized for the large BGE. Will probably try a pizza within a month or so. The BGE can easily be taken to and beyond 1000 degrees, yeah. I've gotten mine as high as 800 for searing steaks. One thing: the gaskets that the eggs ship with aren't really designed to withstand temps that high so you'll quickly burn them down if you do a lot of high temp cooking (or so I've heard). Most people that do lots of pizzas either have multiple eggs, and that egg is gasket-less--gasket isn't so important with that kind of high temp cook--or they have gotten aftermarket Nomex gaskets.
Endame spaghetti.
The texture just doesn't work.

I made my own Nutella and it is delicious.
A nuttier taste than the original, not so sweet, a little less smooth and a lot more expensive. Standard jar of Nutella is 39DKK and this had about 80DKK worth of ingredients for an equivalent amount, but it's organic and fair trade. :w00t: :greenzo:

I made cinnamon rolls once. They were awesome but I felt it was way too much work. Easy enough to buy 'em at the Valero down the road.

I am NOT eating spaghetti, because after boiling...using one of those nifty pots with the drain holes built into the lid, while draining, the lids pops off and all of the spaghetti proceeds to shoot down the drain hole.

I had a jalapeno & cheese Whataburger. :mmm:
Walleye with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans at Johnny B's in Wapello IA.
Walleye may be my favorite white fish.
I made a pretty killer pot roast tonight. It's not something I do often because it is absurd for 1 person, but they were on sale at the store and practically giving them away so I had too.
No smoker though. :(
I was feeling cold and lazy so I ordered in some Dominos. Now that I've eaten totally not worth it. :P
Baked ziti with red sauce with hamburger, sausage and Reindeer sausage and mozzarella.
Tried the local Syrian delivery. No meat. Pretty good and enough for two meals.

For you, the day that you ate his burger was one of the best culinary experiences of your life. But for him, it was Friday.
Hey - on the weekend I had the three boys, plus a friend of theirs.
In order to get them (and me) out of the house I took them to McDonalds. Happy meals for everyone!
Except... this McDonalds has recently installed this new "Create your taste" kiosks, so I decided to try that. You want up to this enormous touchscreen - it had to be 30" long. And then you go ahead and special order your burger. I went ahead and created some concoction with 2 patties, grilled onions, monterey jack cheese, lettuce and mustard. Once you enter your order you pick up a little doohickey and sit down.
Then a few minutes later a server comes and brings you your food. Yup. Table service at McDonalds. :wacko:
The burger comes out on what is meant to look like a wooden cutting board, but is really just plastic. If I'd ordered fries they'd have come in a little metal basket (I just ate some fries from the boys Happy Meals).
How was it? Honestly it was pretty good. Definitely a step up from typical McDonalds. But it was also a $10 burger. If you want a premium burger I'm not sure if you're better off going to McDonalds, or some other chain.
And also, I didn't see a lot of other people getting their food brought out (though that might have been because we were sitting next to the kids play structure). I'm unconvinced this is going to be a hit for McDonalds. It feels more like McPizza - which I remember liking at the time, but apparently was a disaster for the chain.
So there you go. McDonalds Create Your Taste - I ate it so you don't have to.

There's a lot of great stuff to choose from. I like it because it's spicy. Unless I can almost kill myself with chilies, it's not really worth it.
The beef and noodle soup is worth trying on a cold winter day. Very hearty.
Easter is the time for eating lamb here, but I am sort of vary of lamb. It's not really that good, unless you tenderise and put a lot of effort into it. So I had baked cod with pomegranate and herbs instead. And boiled then roasted barley with spinach.

Bagel shops here in the midwest suck mightily. Not even any good chains. I'd kill for an Einstein Bros. or Manhattan Bagel shop nearby. Best I can get is from Panera :mellow:
Bits and ends of (((Nova Lox))) with cream cheese, Philadelphia brand as (((Temp-Tee))) doesn't seem available out here, on toasted rye bread with sliced onions (alas, no capers laying around). A quite delicious, and probably lower-cal substitute, where the bagels suck, as they do in the PNW.

Not that what I do is pizza, really just quick street tray pizza.
Sardines, artichokes and olives.
Ordered Laap Nam Toc Beef and Crispy Duck on Fried Noodles with Red Thai Curry from Sheng Long. Their food is great, but I especially love their name. :lol:

Made myself beef rendang. So tasty. Need to get a proper mortar though for crushing the spices/lemongrass.

Meat. Cook meat with it. Lots of high-end joints are using them to make perfect steaks. Once you get it out of the water flash it on a fire real quick or a castiron skillet to sear it and that's it.
I imagine Cal to be one of those guys who would just as soon flash a raw steak, and let the blood fill it up the plate while he eats it. :yucky:

T'other day I hit a hole in the wall Indian joint in Coralville. Usually I order Lamb Vindaloo medium because I don't want to look like a putz when I can't handle it. This time I said damn the torpedoes, crank it up to 11. Pretty damn spicy, but one notch below actual pain.

Wasn't impressed with Smashburger (about the same as Five Guys, actually), but I'd take Shake Shack over either one any day. Both Five Guys and Smashburger were just tiny, flavorless burgers that were actually dripping with grease. Oh, and Five Guys' fries are DEFINITELY not worth the hype.
Five Guys isn't that expensive, really. Maybe a buck or two more than the priciest selections at BK or McDonald's. Now Red Robin, they'll charge 15 bucks.

I always assumed that it's not actually cheese when people say American cheese. Kind of like 'I can't believe it's not butter'.
http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/07/whats-really-in-american-cheese.html
QuoteLet's get one thing straight. When I say American cheese, I am referring specifically to process American cheese. The kind that comes either in individual slices from the refrigerated dairy case or sliced off of a rectangular block at the deli counter. There are many incredible cheeses produced in America—some of the finest in the world, like Humboldt Fog, Moses Sleeper, and Bent River. They may be great cheeses that are American, but they are not "American cheese."
Let's get another thing straight. All cheese is processed. All of it. It is a man-made product that does not exist in nature. Even the simplest cheese, like halloumi, is made by treating milk (whether from a cow, a sheep, a goat, or even a human) with rennet (an enzyme typically taken from the stomach lining of an unweaned calf, or, increasingly, vegetable-based enzymes with similar properties), draining the resulting curds, and pressing them together. More complex cheeses go through further steps of processing. Mozzarella and queso Oaxaca are kneaded and stretched, for instance. Gruyère and Comté are washed with a bacteria-infested brine called morge.
Most cheeses are inoculated with bacteria and allowed to ferment and age, during which time they develop flavor and rinds and lose moisture.
Heating, curdling, pressing, inoculating, aging...those are all processes.
Where American cheese (or "Pasteurized Process American Cheese," as the FDA likes to call it*) differs is that once the cheese is made (and yes, American cheese starts with real, honest-to-goodness cheese), it is blended with a few other ingredients to alter its texture and flavor. The exact details of these subsequent processes are what determines the labeling on the package, and those can be as simple as blending it with another cheese or as complex as melting it with additional whey, milk proteins, and emulsifying salts. This is what allows American cheese to melt without breaking or turning greasy the way a traditional cheese does. (You can read more about the science of melting cheese in this excerpt from my book.)
* Oddly, one of the USDA stipulations for process American cheese destined for use in government programs is that none of the ingredients shall have previously been property of the government, meaning that the phrase "government cheese" does not actually apply to government cheese...until it becomes government cheese.
The process itself was invented in Switzerland, in an effort to reduce cheese waste; scraps from various batches of cheese could be melted together and formed into a new, delicious product. In 1916, Canadian-American entrepreneur and cheese salesman James Kraft perfected the technique in the US, patented it, and started selling the very first process American cheese. It soon became immensely popular due to its long shelf life and easy shipping.
Cheese products have since proliferated into the vast diaspora that populates the refrigerated cases of your supermarket, and labeling laws do only a cursory job of keeping them all in order. Here's what you might see.
I've tried practically everything, and nothing works better on a cheeseburger than American cheese.

I agree, generally. American cheese is perfect for the texture of a burger. Its also so bland that it doesn't interfere with the flavour of the meat which is surely the most important thing in a decent burger.

Yeah, that soured me right off the bat. The fact that it's pricier than the most expensive megachain burger but only about equivalent to a BK Whopper or a McDonald's Quarter Pounder? Pass.
Red Robin isn't really a fair comparison, since it's a burger chain, but not a fast food burger chain. And hey, neither McDonald's nor Burger King gave me a free burger for my birthday, let alone a MOTHERFUCKING BURGER TOPPED WITH CHILI.
The Five Guys burger is definitely larger than those. You must have had the "little burger" with just one patty.
Well that unexpectedly turned into the battle of Tsushima for biscuit dunking. :bowler: :blush:
So what exactly is the difference between American cheese and cheddar cheese?
Quote from: Valmy on August 26, 2017, 11:23:27 AM
So what exactly is the difference between American cheese and cheddar cheese?
Cheddar cheese goes through a process called "Cheddaring" which American cheese does not. Wikipedia explains it far better than I could:
Quote"Cheddaring" refers to an additional step in the production of Cheddar cheese where, after heating, the curd is kneaded with salt, cut into cubes to drain the whey, and then stacked and turned. Strong, extra-mature Cheddar, sometimes called vintage, needs to be matured for up to 15 months. The cheese is kept at a constant temperature, often requiring special facilities. As with other hard cheese varieties produced worldwide, caves provide an ideal environment for maturing cheese; still, today, some Cheddar cheese is matured in the caves at Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge. Additionally, some versions of Cheddar cheese are smoked.

I like swiss on a burger.
Catfish is generally one of my least favorite fishes. It's got kind of a gamey, sewagey, bottom-feeder flavor to it, and it's pretty tough for a fish, like they get locked up in rigor mortis when they're hooked. People around here eat shitloads of it.
One of my uncles invited my dad and me over for a catfish fry, and I was expecting the usual. But this was really good. No sewage taste, and super tender. I asked him how he does it and he says you soak it in buttermilk. That's catfish I would be happy to eat any time.
Hosting a lunch. Missus has marinated a big lump of beef in some complex chilli sauce. I'm on egg fried rice duty. There's some kale and mushroom concoction going on too.
Struggled to think of an appropriate wine match to stand up to the chilli but would also work with the beef. Ended up choosing a 2010 paullic,50/50 Merlot and cab. Not sure it will work tho.
Drinking wine sounds like too much work.

Yeah, Five Guys is fairly pricey (unless one is used to NYC prices) - particularly so in London.
Actually, I've realised relative to £ and London prices, things don't seem to incredibly expensive here in Denmark.
A half pound burger at 5 guys is 10 bucks. A half pound burger at one of the fast chains is 8 bucks. Plus you get free peanuts. :P

Firs ever Philly cheese steak, at a big street food market in Brooklyn. It was decent enough. Could have done with gherkins to cut through the richness.
We've eaten well in NYC despite how expensive this city is. Some superb pasta in particular. Must be a good 40 per cent more expensive than London and only a bit of that is the exchange rate.

Had a business dinner at a Korean restaurant, which is the first time I've eaten at one although I've had Korean food before.
I did try the following items for the first time:
soju - tastes like weak vodka. I don't get the appeal.
sujeonggwa (persimmon punch) - now this was delicious, and I kept spiking it with the soju, which made a nice cocktail.
kimchi fried rice with egg and mozzarella - delicious. I've had kimchi before and had some straight at dinner, but this stuff was awesome.
some kind of cold soup with noodles - weird. couldn't eat the noodles with chopsticks. The soup was so cold it had ice in it. :huh:
The place also had excellent bulgogi, but I've had that plenty of times before.
No chijimi? (I think that's the Japanese name...not sure of the Korean. Korean pizza).
That stuff is the best.
I didn't order. This co-worker of mine who is hugely into Korean food ordered for us.
Mozzarella is used pretty sparingly in typical Korean cooking.

Homemade Vegan pancakes...I think I finally perfected my recipe (pro tip: chocolate chips make any sub-par pancake batter easily edible).
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp (each) baking powder/soda
- 2 (to 3) tbs sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk + 2 tsp key lime(or lemon) juice. (this creates a "buttermilk effect", and some extra raise/flufiness)
- 1 vegan egg equivalent (I use a store-bought product that is essentially crushed chia seeds/garbonzo beans)
- 1 tsp vegetable oil

Yep, they are and they've been making a comeback lately. Yum! (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) acquired them a while back and virtually destroyed the chain, which is something Yum! is excellent at. But a few years back they spun it off into an independent company at the same time they spun A&W off.

CAL'S AAR OF THE NEW LONG JOHN SILVER'S
Ok, so I went there last night because my fiancee and her friend had a GNO. I ordered two fish tacos and fries. Basically what I got was two folded tortillas with a hunk of fish and chips fish in each, topped with cole slaw and some sort of creamy hot sauce. It was... odd. Not at all what I was expecting.
Also, LJS is now trying to do service more like Chik-Fil-A where they bring your food out to you and keep bugging you while you're eating, asking if you want refills or need anything else or if you want them to throw your trash away for you. I don't like that because it forces the folks to act like a waiter, yet they are making horrible fast food wages and not getting tips. It makes me very uncomfortable... I mean, if I wanted that sort of service why would I go to a fast food place? Also, the lady who kept bugging me smelled like an ash tray. :yuk:
Anyway.... I'd probably go back. :)
Interesting. I usually drive away after getting my chikfila so never had that happen.
Ugh, Long Dong Silvers. The place where fries go to die.

Out of convenience/laziness (and because I think they're really tasty), I've been eating lots of ready-made pasties/slices/pies recently . I also tried some dandelion & burdock soda this weekend. And my favorite, go-to readymade sandwich is the ploughman.

Missed this when you posted it originally. I eat the SHIT out of burnt ends. There's a BBQ place near me that has them as their specialty, when you can get them (since supplies are so limited), but every time I go I ask if they have them and if the answer is yes, that's what I'm getting.
IMO burnt ends is literally the best barbecue cut/prep that there is.

At my office after court, need something to eat. Our cafeteria is still kind-of running. I decide to get a pre-packaged sandwich. I spot a bagel and egg salad sandwich. I think 'that sounds yummy - I haven't had an egg salad in forever'.
What a disappointing sandwich. Turns out egg salad is a poor sandwich filling for a bagel. It's dense, so it requires a little more force to eat. But apply force to an egg salad sandwich means immediately half the salad squirted out the sides.
Then, I'm not quite sure what kind of bagel that was (closer inspection - cinnamon and raisin), but it had a sweet taste profile that went horribly with the egg salad. Yuck.
I'm actually mad - that's how bad that sandwich was.

What a disappointing sandwich. Turns out egg salad is a poor sandwich filling for a bagel. It's dense, so it requires a little more force to eat. But apply force to an egg salad sandwich means immediately half the salad squirted out the sides.
Then, I'm not quite sure what kind of bagel that was (closer inspection - cinnamon and raisin), but it had a sweet taste profile that went horribly with the egg salad. Yuck.
I'm actually mad - that's how bad that sandwich was.
A culinary debacle. The Trump-Pandemic-Response of sandwiches. :mad:
I used to eat egg salad on bagels often when I had access to good bagels. :huh:

So my wife decided to join that quarantine trend sweeping the nation - baking bread! She made two loaves yesterday. Just a simple white bread. And for my lunch she made me two sandwiches.
:hmm:
Don't get me wrong - the bread tastes good. But it's rather dense, and I feel quite filled up after one small sandwich.

Gotta master that crumb! Try making the dough the night before and leaving in fridge over night, take out the next day and let it rise back to room temperature and then bake. When preheating the oven add a small cake pan with water in it, steam will help that even that density out into a fuller rise.

Dominos has been operating in Vienna for a few years now, and today I took the plunge.
I ordered a large pepperoni pizza with double cheese.
Pro:
- they update your order with each step of their process (other services just show three statuses: received order, preparing food, delivery on the way)
- they were here within 25 minutes; other deliveries can take 45-600 minutes, regardless of distance - though there are some services, like poke bowls, or Chinese, that tend to be fast
Con:
- no GPS tracking on map of where the delivery is
- price - the pizza was all right, but at €16 I can get much better from proper ristorantes here in Vienna.
Will probably not order often unless I have a strong craving for an approximation of a US style pepperoni pizza.
Having lived in NYC all my life, it shocks me that Dominos is regarded as the US style pizza. Then again, I don't know to what extent NYC with its local pizzerias is the exception rather than the rule. To me, the difference between a big chain pizza and a local pizzeria pizza is like the difference between canned corned beef and medium-rare filet mignon.
A lot of cheaper pizza places here offer "American" pizza (which just means making the crust double thick). There's a few places here that make proper napoletan pizza and it's just amazing (better to eat at the restaurant, they're best fresh from the hot stone where they bake for like 2 minutes max).
Here Domino's has an excellent standing offer for a $7.99 large three topping if you pick it up yourself. Their "Brooklyn style" thin crust is quite tasty.
Lots of local pizza-joints here, and they make some good pies. Wood fired, oven, weird Santa Cruz toppings (no, none from the dispensary yet).
However, it is the Central Coast of California, so pizza costs about a million dollars.

See, I can get a decent pizza for 8-10 Euro including delivery. So I don't quite get Dominos model here. They have special discounts, but they're for group orfers.

I love making home-made pizza. :mmm:
But that tends to be a more involved weekend meal at our house. Not that I love Pappa John's, but there's an outlet just a 2 minute drive away from our house, so it's a go-to when we need food fast mid-week. It's nowhere near as good as home-made, but sometimes you just need food fast.

Other than a mom and pop pizza places, I like Round Table pizza. There's a good one in Federal Way.
A small chocolate panettone washed down with some Hereford cider.
I've been eating a lot of soup since Xmas, it was also a good way of getting rid of the last of the turkey. :)
I made Peruvian chicken with green sauce and cilantro rice for dinner last night. It was pretty badass.
Peruvian chicken joints are popping up all over the place now. My brother got one in Richmond like five years ago and that was the first I'd heard of it, and now we have at least 3 that I know of here in Louisville.
I went to a Peruvian restaurant in Chicago maybe five years ago as well, and don't recall having chicken but had all kinds of other neat stuff, like cow heart kebab. Oh, and I discovered Pisco Sours there and drank like six of them that night. :lol:
So a place here is offering Chicago Deep Dish Pot Pizza (yes, "pot" - no idea why)
I ordered one with beef and bbq sauce (didn't feel like a tomato based one). It was all right, but not great. Also probably nothing like a proper deep dish pizza. :P

Last week of holidays. I enjoy cooking, but hardly ever get a chance to cook something new. So today I was like "screw it" - forget pleasing the kids or wife, I'm going to cook something I want to cook.
I went Indian - chana masala - a chickpea curry (it was: vegetarian! :o).
So of course I had to get a whole pile of spices I didn't have. But this is Canada in 2021 so that wasn't a problem (even getting the amchoor, which the recipe I followed said was hard to find). But I went to the large grocery store I don't usually go to. I went to the spice section, and couldn't find most of them. Then I realized I had to go to the "international spice" section. :huh:
The meal itself took a lot longer than I had thought, even with the Instant Pot. But it was definitely a success. The boys (who are getting better but can still be picky) all said it was either "good" or "really good" and ate it up.
So now I have a pile of Indian spices (and I mean a pile - a couple of them I could only buy in like a 1 lb bag). So now I think I need to make some other Indian dishes...
I love channa masala and make it sometimes. I like to make it with kheema matar and serve them over basmati.
I got chicken poppers from Papa John's. I guess they save the "better ingredients" for the pizza, because this was some mediocre chicken.
I just made a chocolate loaf cake from a Nigella recipe for my husband's birthday that asked for 225g of butter and 375g of muscovado sugar. :wacko:
I got papa John's pizza the other day.
My god its greasy. And takes forever to deliver.
Yes. This was their second chance and they blew it. They're the lowest of the big 3 pizza chains.

I disagree. The quality is a lot more reliable and safer than random takeaways.
Pizza hut has declined a bit since it shifted to being a takeaway and dominos too as it has grown bigger has gone down in quality.

It's pretty damn cold in Edmonton right now, and we had a weekend full of (what else) hockey.
So when it came time for supper I had a hankering for some good ole chicken soup. So just using some homemade turkey broth from Thanksgiving I tossed in some carrots, celery, leftover chicken and some wild rice, and boom there you go. I thought it was amazing.
I think my kid complimented me when he said it tasted like chicken-flavoured instant noodles? :unsure:

I dunno - the few time's I've had Popeye's it is noticeably much more spicy than typical fast-food "spicy".
Maybe it's because the only thing I've gotten is their Spicy Chicken sandwich - I don't know if just the regular fried chicken by itself is all that spicy.
Let me tell you sonny, back in the day Popeyes's had some pop.
Had my first ever taste of Gatorade, somewhat sweat, slightly salty coloured water; probably my last taste of it too.
Wife and kids are away camping while I'm still working, so I have time on my hands and I like to try some different dishes. But it's also the middle of the week so nothing too involved.

It's take away pizza. Not a specially arranged meal. The whole point is something fast and Meh.
The really good places usually require ordering days in advance.
With reviews and such it's easy enough to avoid the terrible ones but the hundreds on 4.something tend to blend into much of a muchness. Even with hours to research identifying the best from there would be tough.
So I'm watching this lightweight British rom-com, dinner is served and the starter is various types of ham. All thin sliced (and cold I imagine).
Made me wonder if Yuros ever eat thicker, cooked/heated up ham as an entree.
Looks like this:

In Germany/Austria we have what's called "Kassler" (Germany) or "Geselchtes" (Austria) which is salted/smoked pork. IIRC can be other meats than strictly pork butt, though.
(https://images.ichkoche.at/data/image/variations/496x384/2/geselchtes-mit-erdaepfelkraut-img-15147.jpg)
Yeah we ate stuff like in Syt's picture when I was growing up in Denmark.
Wiki has an article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kassler

But usually made with pork butt?
So no one else slices ham thick and cooks it up?

Singapore Mei Fun (I've also seen Singapore Chow Mei Fun) is the loveliest dish you can get at a chinese takeaway.
Tried the mulligatawny soup at my Indian joint. Kind of underwhelming for a soup that gets that much hype.

Found a chocolate bar in a kitchen cupboard, good tasting 70%; after I finished it a few days later, looked on the packet and discovered it was cooks chocolate. :gasp:

The mother of one of the people I work with gave me some home made dried pork belly. I was instructed to place it over rice in our rice cooker - easy and oh so delicious. I am not sure exactly what spicing she used, apparently it changes a bit from year to year.

Mrs B had training downtown this last week. She called me up and said we should go for lunch.
My office is literally next door to Edmonton's Chinatown, so that's where I suggested we go. Wound up going for Vietnamese food.
I love Vietnamese food. It's this weird mix of being 90%+ asian, but with these French and American influences on top of it. Like Vietnamese iced coffee. First of all it's one of the only places in Asia that has adopted coffee, but also used condensed milk.
Anyways, I ordered salad rolls, but wound up taking most of them home, and gave them to my kids. They really enjoyed them, and they can be picky eaters.

It looks pretty authentic. Provolone, American, or Cheez Wiz are the only acceptable cheeses, so it got that right. No chili peppers. The only toppings other than cheese should be grilled onions and/or chopped bell peppers, but definitely not any sort of hot pepper.
Well, it came with caramelized onions. Cheese choices were cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, but that's mostly because "American" and "Cheez Wiz" are not a thing over here and the latter would probably gross people out. :P I also got fries with cheese sauce from them - the cheese sauce was one of the better I've had here, though unable to tell what the basis was.
Probably cheez wiz fries :P

Swiss is considered unacceptable in Philadelphia. In fact, John Kerry had a minor faux pas when he was running for Prez and visited Philly on a campaign stop and asked for swiss on his cheesesteak.

Been cooking a lot lately and wanted to shout out a few cookbooks that have helped me get into it again.
Six Seasons by Joshua MacFadden which is not vegetarian but (seasonal) veg focused. It's outstanding - one of the best cookbooks I've bought in years and one I use most weeks.
Also Tim Anderson's Japanese cookbooks - I find him quite annoying (as someone who remembers him on Masterchef) but his restaurants are decent and these two, Japaneasy and Vegan Japaneasy are actually really good. Needed to get a few more staple ingredients but so far all the recipes work.
And I'd had a couple of duds from Madhur Jaffrey's Curry Easy (probably my fault) so kind of wrote it off. But done a few recently and they worked really well. So definitely putting those duds down to me fucking up :lol:
Don't blame yourself. I've had some terrible results from a few of her recipes and I'm decent at Indian cooking . I don't think she tests them properly.
Cold chicken low mein is much better than i thought it would be.
Lemon drizzle cake, cat turned her nose up at it, so not sure how I feel about it's taste/quality. :bowler:
Here in Florida we can get hog jowls at the grocery store all through the year. Strangely they've become cheaper than pork belly of late, so I made my own guanciale. (Okay, I smoked it, so it's really jowl bacon, but you sound way more sophisticated if you call it guanciale, especially if you use italics.) I used my go to bacon cure, that made them too salty. Hog jowls don't have the fat content that belly does so the cure doesn't leech out as much moisture and the salt congregates on the surface. It's still edible, but next time I'll use half the salt and just a pinch of the curing salt.
Mrs B is out of town for my oldest son's hockey game.
I made the remaining kids for lunch - the Elvis sandwich. A fried peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich. Apparently the King's favourite sandwich, and one he ate all the time.
It actually really works. It wasn't maybe the best sandwich of all time or anything, but it was quite tasty.
Now I have to figure out what to make for supper...
So this was fun. We had tacos for supper last night, and had some left-over taco meat and taco fixings (nothing fancy - just Old El Paso from a box).
I wound up making chili cheese dogs. Cooked the hot dogs, added the taco meat to some tomato sauce (and added some extra spices), then go with hot dog - "chili" - onions - cheese.
Kids rather liked it, and they don't often like new things. But who wouldn't like a chili cheese dog.
On theme with BB I pissed off both Texans and Italians by making chili and eating it with spaghetti.

If that doesn't bring derspeiss out of hiding I don't know what will...

And anyways, I doubt any real italian would make any claim to the can of Hunt's Tomato Sauce I used (it was very sweet).

I reinvented the wheel. A tasty, tasty wheel.
As an aside if you want to stay away from the sweetness use canned crushed or diced tomatoes. Crushed would produce the same consistency.

Normally I would, but I was going for "fast", and diced or crushed would need to be cooked down for a bit.
