Chicken/rice/bean burritos and a Dr. Pepper.
This thread has potential...

Butter
Huge fucking spoonfuls of butter
Sometimes margarine
Sometimes lard
But mostly butter
-
My housemate eats peanut butter with a spoon direct from the jar. This isn't normal, right?
I need confirmation from the internet before I mock her into a state of shock.
-
Dude, like everyone I know eats pb straight from the jar
-
I once ate a whole jar of peanut butter with chopsticks.
True story.

Turkey and cranberry sauce on a bread roll. And Chocolate Milk.
-
Mmm, chocolate milk...
I am fantasizing about the tea and french toast I'm going to have when I get my ass out of bed and go downstairs.
-
This is last night's dinner...but seriously, the annual July family barbeque is the best thing all year.

Grandma made potato salad, Yaya made tiropita and spanikopita, there was cole slaw, and broccoli salad, and my uncle made ribs. Know this: he is really freaking good at making ribs.
-
Chocolate-oatmeal cookies and woodchuck hard apple cider. Monday breakfast of champions.
-
Tail-end of my brunch... giant mug of earl grey. It was preceded by a piece of grilled chicken, and shall be followed by one of the greatest yet simplest pleasures on earth.
A bowl of cold vanilla yoghurt. Thick, velvety smooth. So so smooth.
-
Bombay Mix.
-
I can't seem to find good bombay mix. I like it, but not when it's breaking my teeth.
-
The flavour of Sainsbury's Chocolate Tart is still in my mouth. It is delicious; the perfect blend of chocolate, cream, golden syrup and pastry. It is well worth £2 to feed six people with a bit of cake from heaven.
-
Right now I'm eating brandy.
-
And now it's back to the diet of muy choice...black coffee, and lots of it.
I fucking love Mondays.
-
Fruit salad! I have grapes, honeydew melon, canteloupe, pineapple, strawberries, watermelon and blueberries. It's the best way to start the day, really.
-
Spag bol - too much of it. I really need to get better at figuring out proportions.
-
charging up my day with a PROTEIN BAAAR

Coffee and *gasp* coffee cake! A well-rounded breakfast to start the day.

CHEESE!

Animal crackers.

FOOTLONG SUBWAY ROASTED CHICKEN BREAST SUB WITH PEPPERJACK CHEESE AND FUCCIN CHIPOTLE BAJA SAUCE.
IT COST ME 5 DOLLARS AND 37 CENTS.
-
SEE I AM TYING ALL OF THIS DUDES THREADS TOGETHER, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL ABOUT MONEY AND FOOD.
-
List threads can be a nice diversion every now and then, but when all of the ones on the front page start to get made by the same person... but fuck I really like talking about food.
Right now I'm eating ramen noodles, but in the weird ass way that i make them. Which is break em up real good before I cook em I, strain em rather than making the broth, make a sauce in a pan with butter,flour and milk, add in the chicken flavoring packet and then basically add whatever other ingredients on hand that sound good. Today is some shredded cheddar and some kraft parmesan, some grilled chicken that I chopped up and tossed in, umm, some crushed red pepper, franks hot sauce and ranch.
This is all based off of a thing my brother and his best friend used to do as kids. They called it slop, I wish I had a better name for it but I admit right now that this is an unholy mix of ingredients and goddamn it tastes good.

I approve of this post. I also like their almond granola bars.
I had a yummy lunch today. Pastrami sandwich with jalapeno goats'-milk cheddar on fresh sunflower bread, and orchard-fresh cherries and plums. Farmers' markets are pretty much the the best thing ever.

I have this recipe that I like to make all the time whenever I have the ingredients. It's hells of easy to make, and tastes awesome. So I will share it here!
1 cup honey
1 cup smooth peanut butter
2 cups instant oats
2 cups powdered milk
Take all ingredients, place in large ziplock baggie, and mash together. Add raisins if you want. Consume at leisure.
Technically, it's supposed to be rolled into individual balls of gooey goodness, but I usually just roll it all together and eat.
-
I've made similar gooey bars, but I usually at chocolate protein powder and minus the honey. So yummy!
-
Somewhere around a pint and a half of ice cream. Plus whipped cream. Plus a handful of cherries.
I think I just fulfilled my caloric intake for the next week.

Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds. Possibly the best cereal. nom nom nom

I would blend that shit seriously because I blend EVERYTHING to make delicious foods
Yogurt/fruit/milk, or ice cream/fruit/milk
My father makes mixed drinks using blueberries and vodka too :lol:
Maybe blueberry pancakes, though? If you use instant batter and mix in the berries. . .

Anyone have a good recipe for 6 1/2 cups of blueberries?
put it in a pie!
here is my all purpose pie crust + pie filling recipe, there are probably better ones (seriously consult james/slick he is the man) but i like this one, it makes a decent enough pie.
2 3/4 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons cold water
1 egg
1 + 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
blueberries
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon water
preheat oven to 350F
combine flour + salt, cut in shortening until it resembles coarse crumbs
whisk separately 3/4 cup water + egg + vinegar
stir into flour until mixture forms a ball
divide dough into 2 balls, wrap in plastic, refridgerate for 4 hours
roll out one ball + place bottom crust into pan
in large bowl combine blueberries + lemon juice + sugar + flour
put in pan, cover with top crust
brush top crust with egg yolk beaten with water
bake in oven for 50-60 minutes, or until filling is bubbly in center + top crust is golden brown
there is no set amount of fruit for this recipe, really, i just kind of fill the crust with fruit. usually it takes about 5-7 cups though so your amount of blueberries should be perfect.

I went to the store to buy grilled chicken, and came home with fresh salmon and other things, in addition to the chicken.
So I have now treated myself to some fried salmon, with a nice salsa, some avocado, and some yummu yummy toasted bread with like a DOZEN kinds of grains in it.
MMMM
But no wine, must be sober in order to go through papers :( sod

Reed you look really jazzed about that meal.

-
Twizzlers and orange soda. I need a sugar fix.

Sun Chips, Harvest Cheddar flavor, slightly stale.
They are a consolation prize for blowing an interview that I really shouldn't have gotten called for in the first place.
Next: Dulce de Leche ice cream.

I woke up early. I'm going to go and fix myself some Spam and some Eggs and some Toast and some Coffee and maybe even Bacon if I feel like it.

This is breakfast (it is a hot chocolate, with marshmallows, and a chocolate croissant)! Granted, this is a picture from the other week, but I had the same thing today. I also had four hash browns from McDonald's.

Guys I would really like some recommendations about eggs. They just really aren't my thing. I have never really been a fan of the taste, but it is almost always the texture that makes me gag. I have tried poached eggs from a restaurant and they were ok, until I broke the yoke and then it just got disgusting. I don't really like scrambled eggs or deviled eggs. My boyfriend once made me an omelette that was fantastic and that I wanted more of: he smothered it in salsa and threw in bacon and stuff, too, though. And I like the tiny egg bits in fried rice, but they have to be small.
However, they are just so cheap. I could afford to eat eggs instead of meat and be happy about the money left over. But I can't make myself do it.
Anyone got any advice? Texture is a big thing, please remember.
-
Making a big fuck-ass stew with rump steak, potatos, cauliflower, carrots, peas, heck yes
-
Rice porridge for the starchy carbs and peanut butter for the protein. Maybe tonight I can find some roughage and maybe some not-shitty nutrients or something
-
Bratwurst
WITH SAUERKRAUT, JA?
I'm eating pizza.

My god, my teeth ache just looking at it.
-
Katie, what other types of eggs have you tried? Hard boiled? sunny-side up? Maybe the scrambled eggs you had weren't that great. I am very picky about mine and they need to be super dry and not mushy for me to eat them. There are ways to enjoy eggs! Do you like the taste of eggs? Maybe try removing the yolk to get a different flavor and texture when cooking.
-
EGGS
i really don't like eggs either but have been eating more lately because 1) they're cheap and 2) i'm trying to get more protein into my unhealthy diet.
so far ways that i have enjoyed eggs are:
*throwing a couple in while frying rice. eggs + rice + assorted veggies (zucchini, broccoli, mushrooms) + soy sauce. eggs + rice + beans + ground (veggie, in my case) beef + tomatoes.
*throwing a bunch of cheese into my scrambled eggs helps. i don't really know if that helps with your texture problem but it might. try cheesy scrambled eggs in a sandwich of toasted bread + tomatoes?
*FRITTATA. goddamn frittata (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frittata) is so delicious, i want to go home and eat some right now. it is the only eggy thing that i truly like. my roommate made a spaghetti frittata once that was super amazing. here (http://www.slashfood.com/2005/11/28/got-leftover-spaghetti-make-a-frittata/) is a recipe for it. it is not the one she used so i don't know if it's any good but how hard could it be?
-

QFT. You can make a really big, filling fritatta for cheap. I make it with 4-6 medium/large potatoes, a few bell peppers, onions, 8-11 eggs, and a shitfuckton of cheese. Julienne the potatoes and cook them til they're just tender, lightly saute the other veggies, whip up the eggs with a splash of milk, mix it all up with the cheese, pour it into a casserole dish and cook it at 315oF for about 40 minutes, then take it out, mix it up again, sprinkle with parmesan and paprika, then put it back in til it's firm. So delicious. Oh yeah, and you can add leftover things like pasta and veggies from the night(s) before!
Anyway! I'm being forced to go to the Mandarin today, which is like a big Chinese-Canadian buffet. It's terrible crap food but all the kids from the office have agreed this is the place we are going.
-
Dear food thread, I completely forgot to tell you! You remember that large piece of fresh salmon fillet I bought? Well, I prepared some delicious thick tomato-sauce with lots of chopped olives in it, and some mustardseed-oil and stuff, and cooked/baked/poached the salmon in it, in the oven (just put it in the sauce with the skin facing up), then I ate it.
But THEN I decided I wanted a picknick so I called together the troops and we had yummy salads in the grass, in the sun, on a blanket, with lots of yummy wine and strawberries.
So, in summary: I ate summer :o :o :o it was good

The best flavor of chips

What the hell is "all dressed" flavour for potato chips?
-
MSG + whatever's swept up off the floor of the potato chip plant.
I imagine it's somewhat close to Pringles Loaded Baked Potato, but I can't confirm that.
-
Pasta and salad and some kind of cake
-
Ham and cream cheese croissant, some kind of cherry tart, and about to start on the prep work to eat the living shit out of some bacon and french toast before I go out and fucking DEMOLISH a steak
-
Apple and cinnamon oats with honey. Breakfast of Champions.
Well, actually I'm not eating it yet, but I'm about to make it and then I will be too busy homfing it to type that out.
-
Sweet potato pie!
Also, regarding eggs: Something my friend used to do was cook up some ramen (she didn't use the seasoning) and then while the water was boiling, with the noodles in it, crack a raw egg into it, and it was delicious. And I don't even like eggs.
-
The hearty breakfast bowl from jack in the box was a mistake. I should have just had the egg rolls. Oh god, I already regret it and I finished it like 3 minutes ago.
On eggs: My favorite way to eat eggs is hardboiled, they are pretty simple to make and so freakin good.
Guys, I think I am gonna try and go over to my parents house a bunch so I can learn to cook from my stepdad. He worked in kitchens (black angus and whatnot) most of his way through college so he is damn good at cooking. Like seriously he makes the best steaks I have ever had.
-
Scrambled eggs are tops. When I make em, they're not runny at all and perfect.

Think all dressed pizza.
Unless they don't have those where you're from.
But if not you should be able to figure what an all dressed pizza is and go from there.
-
i just ate some salmon and now my lips are doing this weird thing where they're all kind of tingly and numb and burning, this doesn't really ever happen and it especially doesn't ever really happen when i eat salmon but now i am mildly worried and i really hope i'm not dying.
i burnt the salmon a little bit but it was pretty good otherwise.
-
Maybe there was some hard soap or something on your hands? The degreaser we use at the bike shop makes my skin itch and I haven't used it since eating stuff with my hands like an hour after leaving there.
-
Oh my goodness maple beans are so great you guys should have some like me
-
Pan seared, fresh caught tuna in whatever the fuck seasoning I had laying around the apartment.

For Lunch:
Warmed up Fritatta made with leftover pasta and off-brand egg beaters.

Ramen noodles with some mixed veggies and mixed nuts cooked in, and a little soy sauce. It's like gourmet broke-food.

Holy shit I was referring to a post a dude made in the Cooking Thread. I really have no idea how I got so mixed up. Fuck.
-
For lunch I ate a steak and ale pie and a whole broccoli floret which I boiled a bit.
I am kinda hungry again now, I think I shall eat my bagel. I bought a bagel again because even though I think they are kinda shit everyone on here cums buckets when you mention them. I will consult with meebo over a filling.
EDIT: I went with blackcurrant jam and butter. I do not really see the point of these things. Why the hole? It makes cutting them and spreading them harder for no reason.
-
The hole is for sad, lonely men

Chicken Korma. Num num num!

Celery and mothfuckin' peanut butter.
-
Banana Nut Bread.
Fresh baked.
Awww yeah.

I made half of one of those "Newman's Own Roasted Chicken and Garlic" pizzas for dinner. They make good stuff.
(Half because that's what fit in the toaster oven. Didn't feel like heating the whole house up with the stove.)
-
Self-fried onions. That is, I fried them myself, not they fried themselves. If that was the case, I'd probably have less burns from splattered oil (I am a terrible cok)

Six pack and a pound from Taco John's.. put potatoes inside softshell tacos... then pour cheese inside. Nom nom nom
-
Apricots and water.
I cut the apricots in half, remove the pit, and then eat them from the inside.
Then I turn the skins inside out and fold them so I can eat them while minimizing contact with the fuzzy side.
Am I the only one who loves peaches and apricots but is weirded out by the fuzzy skins?
...just me huh?
-
Caleb, if you actually washed your fruit before you ate it, you would know that the fuzz comes off pretty easily with a little friction from your fingers. Barring that, I peel them with my fingers and eat them that way.
-
I wash everything that I eat. I guess the apricots I got aren't ripe enough or I didn't scrub them hard enough.
I like my way. This way I get all the fiber and good stuff from the skins.

Roast chicken dinner w/ potatoes, onions, and portabellos roasted. Veg and fungus were roasted in the pan with the chicken, and the chicken's cavity was filled with a half bottle of oatmeal stout. Drippings were delicious but I botched the gravy a bit by adding too much flour and then having to thin it out too much. Didn't open the bottle of white because she didn't come by.
-

Agreed. What the hell Andy.
I had amazing steak fajitas for dinner. They were basically the fajita kit things where the sauce and seasoning all comes pre-made but I added all manner of stuff in as well. And soon I am making popcorn with some popcorn seasoning stuff (either dill pickle or all dress) that The Lady brought back from Canada.
-
Omlette with mushroom, onion, pepper, and tomato fried in garlic and chili oil and seasoned with salt, pepper, and tobasco.
-
I love the fuzzy stuff, actually, I eat kiwis with the skins still on them because I like the fuzzy stuff.
I would like to note that you voiced your preference twice in that statement. You indeed must enjoy the fuzzy stuff.
I always chop up Kiwis and I don't seem to notice the skin that much.
Today for lunch I had a chicken quesadilla from a newly opened burrito place that makes it's own salsa with big chunks of garlic in it. I asked them to make it with less cheese and more onions. VERY Good.
-
Just ate 2 sausage rolls drizzled with HP sauce and some salad drizzled with ranch. So good.

Goddammit

You know what is excellent
I made cookies today from scratch, which is something I've never done, with chocolate chips and peanut butter. So I decided to then make homemade ice cream/cookie sandwiches and holy god

What Hannah has eaten/drank today:
One (1) cup of tea - 8:30am
another (1) cup of tea - 9:30am
One (1) beef pie with "cheese and bacon" (I would like to contest the amount of cheese and bacon in that beef pie, but it was $1, so I can't really complain) - 11:15am
Some (about 6?) lolly snakes - intermittently between 1-4pm
One (1) "Giant" sausage roll - 5:40pm
I am going to have a bopped (uhm, cooked in the microwave?) potato with baked beans and cheese for dinner. My body is going to hate me for today.
-
Forgive my ignorance, but what is a 'lolly snake'?
-
snakes that are lollies. Snakes Alive! (http://shop.theprofessors.com.au/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/A/l/Allens-Snakes-Alive.png)
-
Okay, I thought so, just wanted to be sure.
Lolly is such a fun word.
-
1) DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FIND FOOD FOR A DRUNK AT 4 AM ON MONDAY
2) DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD IT FEELS TO REALIZE THAT YOUR STOMACH AND HEAD ARE FURIOUS WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU SMOKED AND DRANK AND THE LAST TIME YOU ATE WAS AT LIKE 4:30 PM AND ALSO THAT SMALL BIT OF THAI FOOD WAS ALL YOU ATE ALL DAY
3) DO YOU KNOW HOW GOOD MCNUGGETS TASTE AFTER ALL THAT SHIT

Is it a british thing to call GUMMIES lollies?
-
Well gummi lollies are different. Gummi bears are different to bear lollies. So no, it's not a British thing to do that, because I am not referring to gummi stuff. I am talking about lollies.
Also, I'm not British. But, y'know, colony and all.
-
The picture you showed me looked like gummies.
-
gummies are a type of lolly.

Crab. Oh God I love crab meat so much.
The funny thing is how evil you feel when preparing a crab from scratch:
1: Boil water
2: Add live crab
3: Wait for a while
4: Remove now boiled to dead crab
5: Smash it's limbs and pluck out whatever's inside.
Cows get it easy. You just cut their neck or shoot them. Crabs are boiled to death. They are fucking awesome food, though. Take crab meat, add a bit of vinegar and pepper, and spread it over toast. Yes.

I am eating pizza! The dough is from this recipe (http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=16954.0), but with all white flour because I didn't have any wheat flour. Then I put garlic, pizza sauce, 1/2 mozzarella & 1/2 sharp cheddar cheese, tomato slices, and chopped basil.

Man I wish I was eating something right now.
A few nights ago I cooked dinner and we had fried mashed potato discs with pesto in the mash (I made them a bit too thick so they didn't fry well) and stir-fried vegetables with some rice. It was suprisingly good! I improvise pretty well but I'm terrible at following recipes.
I guess this could also have gone in the cooking thread.
-
I just finished cold pizza, because my roommate with the microwave moved out :(. I really oughta go and buy myself another one.

Turkey and havarti and lettuce and yum
-
a cuban coffee with some tasty chocolate chip cookies.

cream cheese and jelly on mini bagels. tasty, but the jelly is being kinda jell-o-y and keeps escaping out of the sandwich and into my lap. :-(
-
What type of sandwich?
Ham with Swiss on toast. I wish it hadn't been toasted, that always makes the roof of my mouth hurt.
-
A bit of a Toblerone bar. Way too expensive but so good. For dinner I ate Asian. Even though it was from a buffet, it was DELICIOUS.
I'm rather looking forward to eating fair food this Saturday. Nothing gets you pumped up for The ZIPPER (http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2690/zipper11.jpg) quite like a giant, greasy turkey leg fried up by very questionable looking, shirtless men.

I know! She is supposed to be a professional cook, but man the way she holds a knife scares me. I'm always convinced someone there is going to lose a finger. I've seen worse on that website too. I think in a recipe where she is making pasta with her sister.

Sandwiches can be much better with just a little bit of frying. I bought a ham because they were on sale so I
-chopped and fried half an onion
-pushed the onion to the side to make space for two slunks of ham
-after flipping the ham pieces, put the onions on top of them followed with some grated cheddar cheese
-transfered the pieces onto two pieces of baguette that was prepped with mayo

We just cooked up some barbecue chicken and green beans, my friend is convinced that we need to move up north and open up a barbecue place.
-
People in the north do not care about barbecue. I am a North Carolinian when it comes to barbecue, and I think a legit NC barbecue joint here would totally not work, because it doesn't have sauce on it.
-
because it doesn't have sauce on it.
what do you mean?
-
NC barbecue does not have the thick, sweet, tomato-y "BBQ sauce" on it. It is not required if you do it right. Admittedly, a none of the places up here do it right.
I don't know about chicken, but barbecue consists only of pork in my eyes.
-
you should definitely taste some of the stuff the way we do it then see how you feel.
-
I have no doubt that it might be tasty, I would just never call it barbecue unless it was cooked in a pit for six or more hours. And was a pig.
Though, maybe the people up here would recognize what you make as barbecue and you'd do just fine. Of course, I'm basing this on what I've found in Rochester, which is a terrible thing to do. Rochesterians in general have no palette to speak of. They enjoy something called a garbage plate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Tahou_Hots).
-
People in the north do not care about barbecue.
Man, I know Carolina has one of the oldest barbecue traditions going in North America, but there are dudes from Chicago and Quebec who'll cut you for talking like that.
I'm serious.
-
Man, I'm too drunk to not be making generalizations based on the very small city in which I currently reside. An intelligent man would have just decided to not post, but unfortunately for you guys, I'm not all that intelligent.
-
To be fair, most of the guys that I know up north who are really, really into barbecue tend to come from southern families. Chicago, for example, has a lot of blacks whose parents migrated up north to be part of the local meatpacking industry. Combine that with the fact that Chicago was basically the hog slaughtering capital of the world up until recently, and you end up with a lot of guys who take their pork roasting waaaaay too seriously.
-
take their pork roasting waaaaay too seriously.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Are you implying that there's any amount of seriousness that would be too much when considering pork?
-
Yes, but only because pork is always good.
-
Keep in mind that I'm biased here; I'm mostly Spanish-Mexican, and my great grandfather Alejandro was a raging asshole who loved him some Iberian ham. In my family, if it wasn't pork, it was fried in lard.
-
Yes, but only because pork is always good.
Your point, sir, is irrefutable.
Man, I've got some delicious NC barbecue in my fridge.

The other weekend I had a Kuma's Night at my house where I basically replicated the Lair of the Minotaur burger. It was surprisingly simple, I just copied this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzp_0snR2FE#t=3m57s) and, while it wasn't Kuma's calibre, it was still pretty sick. My actual, honest-to-God life's ambition is to open up a legit burger place, the kind you'd find on A Hamburger Today (http://aht.seriouseats.com/) or something. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to tie Asian cuisine into it - but I might put that on the backburner while I figure out a bun to go on, and try my hand at just creating a simple, elegant cheeseburger.

A place in Charleston, where I used to live, did a foie gras burger for their lunch menu. I know, it sounds like something that you do to lure foodies in, and maybe it is. It is also delicious and should always be split between two people (yes, one burger). That chef left to do other things and the current chef apparently disagrees with the idea that lunch is a good thing for a restaurant to do. Basically, I love the foodie movement towards burgers, because burgers are fucking delicious and I'm glad that restaurants are now treating them with the respect they deserve.

God I'm going to be so fat when I'm older.
Johnny, at a certain point in life, usually in the 20s, a person is faced with a particular choice: either they can be thin, or they can eat what they enjoy eating. Personally I would rather have a belly and be carefree about eating food I enjoy, than worry and fret over every calory I ingest and have a nice slim body.
To put it another way: a couple of Christmases ago I was having an idle think about this, and something occurred to me: sure, there are accepted health benefits to minimising one's cholesterol intake - but aren't there also accepted health benefits to being stress-free? I'd rather be stress free and enjoy eating than stress about my diet and never eat salami or chocolate cake again.
I call it the "You Only Live Once" diet, and I've been on it for some time now.

Normally for breakfast I will just have a cigarette outside work before my shift starts but since I ran out of cigarettes last night I did something a little different this morning and stubbed my toe on my chest of drawers as I left my bedroom.
Fuck.

The other weekend I had a Kuma's Night at my house where I basically replicated the Lair of the Minotaur burger. It was surprisingly simple, I just copied this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzp_0snR2FE#t=3m57s) and, while it wasn't Kuma's calibre, it was still pretty sick. My actual, honest-to-God life's ambition is to open up a legit burger place, the kind you'd find on A Hamburger Today (http://aht.seriouseats.com/) or something. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to tie Asian cuisine into it - but I might put that on the backburner while I figure out a bun to go on, and try my hand at just creating a simple, elegant cheeseburger.
I was just reading about Kuma's today, after Cosmo Lee (http://invisibleoranges.com/2009/10/insect-warfare-atlas-moth-burgers-tours.html) (probably the smartest metal blogger going around at the moment, with the possible exception of John Darnielle (http://www.lastplanetojakarta.com/), if that kind of thing interests you.) made a post about it. It never occurred to me to try to recreate one of the burgers. I think I might take a swing at the Neurosis or maybe even the Judas Priest sometime though.
Harry, your post has caused me to make a serious reappraisal of my priorities. No shit. I tend to be really self-conscious about my belly and it causes me no small amount of consternation daily.
But on the other hand, despite not making a great effort to exercise and having pretty bad impulse control when it comes to food, I'm not gaining weight either. I seem to have plateau'd at "kind of chubby". Of course, even when I was focusing on exercising every day and eating better, I wasn't losing weight then either. Also I have a long-term girlfriend who thinks I'm pretty decent, I'm popular (on the Internet) and I can cook a serious steak.
Maybe I'm going to be O.K.

Dovey, your post caused me to re-read my post and fix the glaring typo that I'd missed earlier.

I made some kick-ass spaghetti last night.
I fried up garlic, onions, peppers, and mushrooms with some hamburger in extra virgin olive oil. Then I added a can of salt free tomato past and a bottle of Newman's Own Sockarooni sauce to it. I am glad I have a ton of leftovers.

Goldfish snack crackers!!

My former step dad's pretty stressed out now that he needs a heart transplant and may not get to be on the list due to weight and alcholism.

Yes, I was being rather facetious, but at the same time I do advocate worrying less and enjoying your food more. I don't advocate deep-frying everything and choosing the "extra large, extra sugar" option wherever possible because, frankly, that's a disgusting abuse of food. But by and large I consume what I like (by which I mean if the "less healthy" food option is genuinely tastier and more enjoyable, then I go for it - see, for instance, full-cream millk vs. skim milk), I stay active by riding my bike everywhere, walking to the shops, and playing touch football (all things I enjoy doing), and I don't worry about the fact that my belly's larger now than it was ten years ago.
-
Full cream milk is terrible and that makes you terrible.
-
If I'm going to drink something that's only meant to be consumed by baby cows, I'm going to drink the right stuff.
Specifically, unhomogenised biodynamic full-cream milk.

Um yeah, this!
It's not like by "stop worrying" and "enjoy life more" that means that I am going to park myself on the couch and surround myself with a fort made of Pringles cans and KFC boxes until I eat my way out. That would make me not enjoy life much at all! Sometimes I enjoy doing exercise (usually when I feel like I don't have to do it, I just want to), and I really don't mind most low-fat/sugar/salt/whatever alternatives.

I baked my own bread for the first time today. The inside ended up a little less baked than it should've been, but all in all it was pretty good. now to start experimenting to try to get sweeter tastes.
-
If you cut the first slice and it's not quite baked all the way through, you can just stick it back in the oven for a little bit longer. Won't hurt the bread at all.
Also, welcome to the wonderful world of home-made bread! Always remember the one simple golden rule: do not skimp on the kneading. DO NOT EVER GIVE IN TO THE TEMPTATION TO BE A BIT SLACK ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU HAVE TO SPEND KNEADING THE DOUGH.

Last night while partyin' with Oli I had a Scooby Snack.
They roughly look like this
(http://www.midwesternerinmexico.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/wedding-maggie3.jpg)
Mine wasn't as stuffed though. Basically you go to a burger van and ask for a "scooby" and they give you a roll with a bunch of stuff on it (which this night was a hamburger patty, fried egg, bacon, black pudding and a potato scone).
JHC that had to have been the most delicious fucking thing I've had since I've arrived in this country. I can't imagine my heart or my girlfriend are happy about that though.
-
frozen waffles slathered with salty butter and maple syrup. also, the only thing i have eaten for breakfast for the last three weeks and counting ever since i suddenly woke up with a craving for waffles and bought like 10 boxes at the grocery store.
somehow i'm still not sick of them but i imagine i will be soon. that or death by heart failure i guess.
-
Better than pancakes
-
How are they better than pancakes? Waffles are typically made with the same type of batter. Either way, delicious.
-
Guys I am so tired of ramen. Seriously.

chocolate chip waffles today oh man this is so good i am so happy
when i die please tell my friends and family that i loved... waffles. also them i guess. mainly waffles though.

Just ate a slice of what was essentially bacon cheeseburger pizza, with barbecue sauce. So good, but now it's all gone and I need to practice before what little sustenance this one slice provides is gone.
-
what can i do with these leftover chicken breasts
-
Give yourself implants?
Or make stirfry with some egg noodles, green peppers, carrots, onions, celery, brocolli, and whatever sauces you have handy. It's what my dinner will be.
-
AHHHH C'MON FUCK A CHICKEN BREAST
But seriously, every time I try working with chicken breasts they always come out all dry and unappetizing and shit. other than brining 'em, anyone got any ideas for avoiding the Chicken Breast problem?
-
High heat for a small amount of time. Also, if you can get them with rib meat still attached, it'll help keep them moist. The thermometers that you can put in the meat, and read it outside your oven are great, just don't wait until they're 165F to remove them, because they'll keep heating up, and you'll get dry, unappetizing chicken breasts. Or you can slice them thinly, cook them in a pan at high heat for a short amount of time. Then there's the great cooking method that is becoming a great idea as it gets colder in the awesome parts of the world: braising.
-
I wound up making a pizza - homemade crust, homemade bbq sauce, red onion, diced chicken breast, mozza and cheddar and just a little capicola.
-
Johnny come be my lover/chef. We could have a beautiful life together, really we could.
-
don't wait until they're 165F to remove them, because they'll keep heating up, and you'll get dry, unappetizing chicken breasts.
Hold up a tick, how do they keep heating up once you've removed them? That seems totally counter-intuitive. I would accept that they keep drying out and/or that the moisture keeps evaporating, but I do not think it is possible for them to keep heating up.
-
The outside is hotter than the inside. If you've got the thermometer correctly placed, it'll be in the last place to heat up to correct temp, which means other places have already heated up to the correct temp. That heat distributes through the entire breast quickly, but not so quickly that what you read on the thermometer will be what you read 5 minutes after you've taken it out of the oven.
-
I'm eating pie! Which I made! The sauce is white sauce with blue stilton, mushrooms and broccoli in it. The flavours are subtle but they work. And boiled potatoes too.
-
I made sasuage patties for my family! And then I put cheddar cheese on top and put them on English muffins! And then I made some hash browns* too!
*I tried my usual trick of pre-baking the potato but I decided AFTER that to try shredded hash browns and I gotta say it makes more sense to only do one of those things. Shredded are cooler though so next time I'm just gonna straight up shred a grip of potato and fry it. hell yes
-
Moose roast with cooked potatoes and a brown sauce. Meat is hunted, killed and prepared by me and I marinated the meat with a barbecue sauce with blackpepper, chili, salt and garlic. For drink I bought a bottle of red wine: Dumisani Pinotage Shiraz. Now I all I need is someone to eat all this great food with.
-
I am so fucking sick of eating up this goddamned ham. One of my roommates is a vegetarian, the other has been on tour for a week (no idea when he gets back), so I've just got this whole fucking ham to eat.
Breakfast was a thick slice of ham, fried, topped with a fried egg and cheddar cheese. It was tasty.
Lunch was a ham fucking sandwich.
Supper was tortellini with sauce augmented with sausage and the reduction of chicken stock I've got sitting in my freezer. No fucking ham there.
-
i ate a turducken last night
-
You should have a ham party! Invite a bunch of friends over, eat some ham. Then you could send them away with leftovers as well. You could become well known for your ham altruism.
-
A lot of my friends have left town at this point and a lot of my friends are vegetarians. Also I have been sick so I am not inviting people over until I'm better.
Johnny I am proud.

Also coffee.

peanut butter & jelllllly

I am getting pretty sick of pie, and I still have two days' worth left.
Man, I need to go shopping. Basically the only food I have is pie.
-
Fucking french toast with cinnamon, bitches!

Some sausage biscuits and a can of pomegranate-flavored energy drink that is actually pretty good.
-
Being poor has taught me the magic of so many things.
-
I'm eating my fried onions & ham sandwich again, this time with thinner slices of ham and some dried hot peppers on top. Drying your own peppers is simple and amazing, these things are miles more tasty than those hot pepper flakes you can buy, and by drying my own I can select peppers for flavour instead of just heat. They are so good on sandwiches.
-
Tonight we made pork chops grilled with bell peppers onions and garlic, mashed potatoes spiced with paprika and cumin, and rice pilaf mixed with peas. So delicious.
-
Seared Tuna with soy sauce is so good.
-
I will be eating spaghetti & meatballs. I re-hydrated some dried tomatoes and hot peppers I dried myself (so much tastier) in some wine, mixed that with the beef and an egg, now I'm going to fry them before flambéing them in this silly ukrainian vodka I just bought (it is hot red pepper and honey vodka? the last time I saw this brand in Canada it was just a really good vodka so I figured I would try it) and then simmering them in the sauce plus the leftover wine from re-hydrating them.
I mean fuck spaghetti and meat balls is so good.
Also I figured out how to eat the last of my ham! I'm making chicken pies this weekend (thanks may for making me think about pie) and I'm just going to mince/chop the ham and throw it in with the filling for the pie. Done with that ham! I guess two and a half weeks of meat for eight bucks was a good deal.
-
I just discovered the orange sherbet cups in my freezer. I don't know how they got there, but I just ate two and they are good.

Cooking makes me want kids. I would love to whip up a big batch of spaghetti and meatballs for a bunch of kids. I would love to be a dad who was known for his spaghetti and meatballs.

Or make pigs in a blanket for them, so easy, good activity to include young cooks in. make biscuit dough, get tiny breakfast sausage links, wrap and cook. I would like to be the dad who teaches his kids how to cook.

That's a little weird. What makes me want kids is thinking about teaching them how to build a kick-ass robot for their science fair project. But wanting to cook them meals? That is pretty weird man.

I want to teach my kids to cook a kick-ass meal for their science project. Does culinary gastronomy count as science yet?

I am not sure I want to live in a world that has little Joe Hockings running around. Especially if they have robots.

-
I am outraged. This morning the dining commons sullied the name of what is one of the most delicious breakfast dishes I have ever eaten. They threw some tortilla chips in some scrambled eggs and called it chilaquiles.
Real chilaquiles:
(http://images.quickblogcast.com/83166-72703/chilaquiles.jpg)
Also Slick I am interested in what you say about drying peppers. I've always loved those little flakes you buy to put on stuff but really peppers can be so tasty and if you can get dried ones to reflect that then I am excited.
-
DRIED PEPPERS
OK this shit is pretty simple.
-Get some fuckin' peppers.
-Get some fuckin' cooling racks and some baking pans.
-Wash the peppers, stem them, and halve them length-wise (if they are really hot peppers wear some gloves)
-Put the racks on the pans, put the peppers on the racks
-Turn your oven to like 120º-140º F, put the rack assemblies into the oven.
-Leave the oven propped open a crack with something
-If your oven has a convection setting, use that
So tiny chillies take maybe six hours to dry, but some larger, less hot peppers took a good two days at low heat. I actually think the less hot peppers were a better investment of my time, because you can buy dried hot peppers but not dried tasty hot peppers. And if they aren't too hot they work a lot better on sandwiches in my opinion.
So your goal in drying them is to get a dried pepper. Usually I process them till nearly brittle because my knowledge is all self-acquired so I err on the safe side of dry. You can leave them a little softer, though, as this makes them a bit easier to use on sandwiches and things. Just take a day when you'll be home and leave them going, and don't worry too much if you have to pop out for half an hour because it's not that big of a deal. When drying the bigger peppers, I would usually turn the oven down to as low as possible overnight because I was afraid they'd dry out too much while I was sleeping, but this wasn't a problem in the end.
When they're dry, store them however is convenient. Your storage solution should include, though, some element of air-tightness, darkness, and coolness. Zip-locs should be OK, though I put mine in mason jars and leave them in a disused cupboard.
You can rehydrate them in water and use said water for something tasty, or rehydrate them in something tasty and use that for something tasty. Typically I'll just throw them into dishes that are already using water in the cooking process though. They should grind fairly well in a mortar & pestle or spice/coffee grinder (dry them till brittle is powder is your aim) but don't grind more than you can use in the next little while. Fresh ground is way better, so leave the peppers whole and have a small spice jar with ground peppers that you refill as necessary.
My favorite application right now is on sandwiches. A couple of large pieces of dried hot pepper go amazingly on sandwiches.
Anyways! That's dried peppers!
-
I want to make a vegetarian curry for the girl I just started dating who is vegetarian. So far I'm working with a recipe that calls for onion, carrot, cauliflower and potatoes, obviously all over rice. It is spiced with curry powder, turmeric, and black and red pepper, to which I'll probably add cumin and paprika because I love those thing too much to not add them.
Are there any suggestions as to what else I could toss in there?
-
Well for starters with curry powder, turmeric, black pepper, red pepper, and paprika, it's going to be pretty damned fiery, so make sure she likes hot food. Or do away with one or more of those spices.
Do you know what spices are in the curry powder? A standard spice to put in an Indian curry (which is what it sounds like you're going for) is ground coriander - though I know one person who is extremely allergic to coriander, so you might want to make sure the girl in question is okay with it. Crushed green cardamon pods also add a really nice, mildly gingery flavour to a curry - crush them with the flat of a knife, just lightly so that the skin is broken and the seeds are exposed. They sound exotic but you should be able to get them in the spice section of any supermarket. Ground fennel would also work well with the ingredients you've got so far. If you're feeling adventurous you could chuck in some ground fenugreek, but it's certainly not to everyone's taste.
-
Oh yes. I just made some nachos. Nothing fancy, just some tortilla chips, pepper jack cheese, some Spanish chorizo picante (sliced really thin, to practice my knife skills) and some roasted chipotle salsa. I would have liked to put them under the broiler to get some nice color on the cheese, but the plate I made it on is not rated for that sort of thing, and I only wanted to dirty up one thing.
-
Over Saturday and Friday I made my own pizza again, but this time I let it sit in the fridge overnight and then left it on the counter for a couple hours before stretching it out and topping it. Turned the oven up to fuckin' 550˚, left the stone on the bottom fuckin' rack, put the pizza on a fuckin' floured baking sheet, slid that motherfucker into the goddamn oven, let it cook for about six minutes and pulled out a pizza with a beautiful, charred, crispy outside and a soft, airy inside.
Did I mention I topped it with some of those little soft mozzarella balls, some prosciutto salami, fresh basil leaves and homemade tomato sauce? I didn't? That's what I did.
Cooking rules.
-
Yeah FUCK YOU STOMACH you wanna wake me up three or four times during the night to go to the bathroom well how about some fuckin' oatmeal for ye.

I think it's a fuckin' Portuguese Chicken night, motherbitches

Does hot chocolate count as a food? Because that is all I could find for breakfast. Time to shop!
-
OK so I have just discovered we get the food network and man it is great. Just saw an 'At the Table With...' with this guy from Dallas who worked at The Mansion on Turtle Creek or something and did a lot of southern food cooking and then I was really hungry. So, I wanted something southern and delicious and makeable with what I had.
-Heat pan, add butter when hot.
-When butter has coated pan, throw in two handfuls of corn kernels and grate half a large potato over the pan and then mix it up and let it fry.
-While that's frying, in a food processor combine maybe three chicken thighs worth of meat (I buy bone-in chicken thighs and de-bone them amateurly so I measure chicken by the handful as well) with three cloves of garlic and a chipotle pepper or two, depending on how you like it.
-Add some reduced stock to the pan and let that cook off (if you do not have a reduction of corn-mushroom broth sitting around, just use some stock or whatever. I just wanted to use the stuff)
-Dump the ground chicken mess in there to, mix it up, fry it up.
-When the chicken is cooked, add two eggs and some grated cheddar, and mix up some more
-Serve topped with grated cheese and pepper as you like
So I would have eaten this on a pita or a bed of rice or whatever but didn't have any. Also, I would have added some diced olives in the last couple minutes of frying but my roommate who I was cooking for as well doesn't like them.
Basically I was going to make an omelette and then had way to much stuff in the pan so instead of an omelette it was a fry-up. It was pretty darn tasty.
Very comfort-food; fun to shovel in and eat with the soft chicken-egg texture plus fried corn and shredded potato. Plus cheese on top of something is great too.
-
I just got a care package from my mom that had homemade peanut butter cookies and chocolate chip cookies in it. I will be eating these for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next week...

That looks awesome. I'm eating some surprisingly delicious canned soup. Campbell's Chunky soups don't suck as much as I thought they would, especially after I add cayenne pepper (like I do to pretty much everything).

I just finished eating at Baby Kay's Cajun Kitchen. I had the jambalaya, with chicken and andouille sausage, with a Kiltlifters Ale to go with it.
Extra delicious!

My girlfriend is a vegetarian who likes bland foods, so I just made rice, and only rice, and we ate it and were happy.
Does anyone have any good suggestions for vegetarian meals? Whenever I look anything up on the internet it's always all soups and salads.
-
Vegetarian lasagna is pretty good
-
I have no problem with eating just vegetables for a meal and I try to minimise the amount of meat that I eat because a little bit goes a long way, but every time I've eaten vegetarian lasagna I've been disappointed that I'm not eating meat lasagna.
-
Really? I am pretty much a meatatarian but I absolutely adore vegetable lasagne and get it whenever I can. It's all about the tomatoey eggplant! Mm.

For a most delishious veggie pasta, id recommend the following:
Ravioli with roasted paprika and feta (4 person recipe)
Needed:
2 Large (as in, bout the lenght of an underarm, diametre of a wrist) carrots
1 pot/jar of roasted paprika's
200gr of feta
1 twig of fresh rosemary
40gr of hazelnuts
2 cloves of garlic
500gr of fresh ravioli (with cheese, tomatoes, whatever you want)
How to make this?!
1:
Scrape clean the carrot, cut it in 4 pieces (lenghtwise) and dice those up.
Slice up the paprika.
2:
Roast the hazelnuts in a dry wok untill they are goldenbrown and crispy. Then take them out and put them aside.
3:
Put some oil into the wok, squish the garlic and bake for about a minute.
Add the carrot and all the rosemary needles, bake for 2ish minutes.
Add 150ml of water, and put a large lid over the entirety.
Let it stew for 6 minutes (or longer. Untill the water is mostly evaporated)
4:
In the meantime, boil the ravoili as it should be boiled. Drain all the water away.
5:
When the water is mostly gone from the wok, add in the paprika and ravioli. Stir everything together for a few minutes
6:
Just before you start piling the food on your plates, chuck in the feta, stir it through as well. (i like to leave the wok on the fire for another minute for slightly better melty feta).
Garnish with hazelnuts (or just chuck them in with the feta)
-
How long is an underarm? And Jesus Christ, how thick are crazy Dutch carrots?
That sounds amazing though! Perhaps I will try it.
-
And Jesus Christ, how thick are crazy Dutch carrots?
Or how thin are Dutch wrists?
-
I have met Erik and I would say his wrists are quite the manly ones.

Then what you said. I cannot even imagine a carrot that big around.

I made the most amazing leftovers frittata today. It had mushroom, onion, capsicum, jalapeno, these amazing Italian pork sausages, garlic, oregano, lemon juice salt and pepper.
-
I just had a delicious double portion of Angel Delight (food of the gods) and now I am drinking Cup a Soup.
I need to go shopping for interesting food, I've been eating pasta, rice and potatoes for six weeks and I'm bored.

This is what I typically do the day after I have a pizza party. That, or make a soup if I've got stock on hand. Typically the omelette wins out on account of me being hungry and hungover and wanting an omelette ASAP.
-
I made Italian sausages and peppers yesterday and when I was sauteeing the sausages in olive oil, the oil spritzed everywhere. I'm thinking of boiling the sausages before slicing them up and sauteeing them with the peppers next time, although this is going to lose a lot of that yummy sausage flavor. Anyone have helpful suggestions?
-
If you've got fatty sausages, don't even bother with oil for frying them. Poke them a couple times each with a knife, then fry up your peppers (plus onions and mushrooms!) in that oil for maximal deliciousness. Onion really takes to that sausage fat nicely and gets delicious when caramelized in it.
-
Fresh raw sausages from the supermarket, but not much fat coming off of them unfortunately. Maybe I'm just putting too much olive oil in.
-
I've been told that the best way to fry meat is with an animal based oil, like butter, rather than a plant based oil.
-
The person who told you this was definitely not Greek.
-
No, but it was in reference to an italian dish that involved prosciutto if that's any help. So still mediterrananenan.
edit: also maybe you had the heat too high?
-
Probably. Yeah. I should never cook when I'm hungry, I tend to rush it.

Poke them a couple times each with a knife,
Wouldn't poking them mean the sausages lose all of their flavour, though?
-
7 layer dip with tostito chips.
That 6 more layers of dip than my brain can normally comprehend.
-
You lose some flavour but not too much plus that flavour gets soaked up by the veggies/fungi in the frying pan anyways.
I usually want sausages for supper, but then they are frozen and I don't want to bother thawing them, so I slice them while frozen so I can fry them from frozen, then the juices leak out so I fry things in the juice and eat it all together on a bed of rice.
-
oh man i should get some sausages for dinner

Never been a big fan of bacon.
-
Bacon is pretty good. It gets boring quickly though.
After reading this thread last night at work I decided to go home and cook up some sausages, mushrooms and onions in the hopes that eating some lovely food might make me feel a bit less down. Instead I got home, ate three containers of leftover spagetti, a loaf of garlic bread, two slices of leftover pepperoni pizza, some 15 month old cheddar cheese (probably the highlight of the evenings meal) and about 150g of cooking chocolate.
Dang.
-
That... that was a poor decision you made. Like you're roomies are going to walk in and be all "Why is the air slightly green?"
-
Nah I had the big balconey doors open. Also my girlfriend was out for the evening so there was no one there to annoy. Besides, I haven't cleaned my rats cage in a while and the ammonia is more overpowering than anything that I can exude. I'll fix that tomorrow.

Made pasta with pesto, chorizo, fetta and cherry tomatoes the other day. Pretty damn tasty, and very quick to put together if you've already made the pesto.
-
Fingernails and chocolate eclairs. No really. the small sweets not actually huge eclairs.
-
I am eating some of the worst soup I've had. I'm sitting in the Halifax airport (oh hey Andy what is up?) eating Tim Horton's because it is cheaper than other places in here, and I tried the soup/sandwich combo and got the creamy wild mushroom soup. It is based on a broth of what I think is stale bread and discount mushrooms, plus a lot (a lot!) of cornstarch and gelatin to make it 'creamy'. It jiggles. I'm kind of stuck eating it because I am hungover hungry and unslept and it has some nutrients or just salt that I am craving. It is so atrocious though, but I can not stop.
Think of it like one of those awful car wrecks where you really want to look away but can't and then all of a sudden you are feasting on the bodies.
-
So, I half-assedly search for a better food thread, one about making food maybe, but to no avail. So anyway...
Tomorrow night, I am making a chicken. Probably roasting it. Maybe. I have chicken broth, and orange juice, and rosemary, and basil, and lots of other things, and am not really sure what to do with the chicken. I was originally just going to roast it is various herbs, in the chicken broth, and probably some butter and salt and pepper. But then the two gallons of delicious orange juice called out to me and begged me to include them as well. Now I'm thinking something with the orange juice and rosemary, but what?
Also, I have fresh cranberries that could be tossed into the mix somewhere.

so good , but kinda sad they don't make the raspberry ones anymore :-(
-
Beef stew with potatoes, turnips, and other things that are delicious.
-
Oh man I hate chocolate orange but I am pretty intrigued about the idea of a raspberry one. I have never heard of that before!
-
The Dark Chocolate Raspberry ones are the best.
I could probably eat myself into oblivion on those things...
La
-
Pine Nut Couscous and 90% cacao dark chocolate...Ghirardelli I love you.
-
90% cacao dark chocolate
guglaghlh do want
-
I've had better. Seriously - I have a friend who lives in Tennessee and spends half the year in Nicaragua volunteering, and he makes (and sells) chocolate. Best damn chocolate I have ever had, hands down.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfP3o3Yx3Bw
The friend's name is Sandy Hepler - he's on the right at about 0:45...he's a complete and total hippie.

Burger + Onions + Mushrooms + Bleu Cheese + Hp Sauce = My type of burger. Which I just ate.

I fell asleep with a Chocolate Orange slice in my hand the other night and let me tell you that's something where you wake up and at first you are delighted that your hands are covered in chocolate and then you realize the implications that has for your sheets and also your body
-
Johnny you crazy
-
So crazy
-
only excuse to put blue cheese on a burger is you don't give a fuck about the way the burger tastes and you just like slapping a bunch of overpowering shit on your meat. if you're puttin fuckin gorgonzola or whaever on your burger then you definitely aren't putting enough thought into the meat you're using cause you want to let that breathe rather than smother it.
(note: blue cheese is acceptable when rendered a sauce and applied in controlled volumes)
-
The hp sauce and bleu cheese cancel each other out.
-
I thought the "letting your meat breath" was supposed to be for steaks anyway.
-
Pedantry about to commence:
I always get confused between 'breath' and 'breathe' because apparently you don't necessarily need the 'e' if you mean 'breathe' (or so I've been told, repeatedly), so reading that sentence led to a few moments of confusion. Hilarious confusion. Well, fairly amusing confusion.
-
I made pizza last night with a little bacon, chicken, onions, green peppers and a lot of mushrooms. With ranch dressing instead of marinara sauce. I have leftover slices for lunch today.
-
For lunch yesterday I ate 5 day old dominos pizza.
For some reason I was surprised when i felt sick today.
-
I've been eating shitloads of Macaroni and Cheese with Christmas ham for the past few days. Like, one box per meal.
I lost like 20 pounds in the last four months but I probably gained back at least five. This cannot be good. Tomorrow (or Friday) I will make a concerted effort towards not having an awful diet.
-
I am eating too much tombleron.
but not the dark chocolate ones.

You were told a lie by someone who just doesn't give a shit about the language.
I thought the "letting your meat breath" was supposed to be for steaks anyway.
Surprise: treat a burger as well as you'd treat a steak and it will treat you the same way.
-
Who said shit about "smothering" or "overpowering". You basically just disproved yr own point with the sentence immediately following that. Also eat a dick John C blur cheese + smokey BBQ rocks a bitch.
-
I have never, ever seen straight up blue cheese put on a burger where it didn't become fairly overpowering. Maybe this was the first time it had been done! Maybe I was wrong.
-
I think you'd better apologise man
-
First I'd like to know how I disproved myself by suggesting that you should be cutting the blue cheese with something (even blending it in with something as simple as mayo) in order to render it less pungent
-
By showing one way it can be done in a non-overpowering way. I tend to put it on un-cut but I basically use a very soft cheese and spread it on as thin as humanly possible, like one might with avocado or some such.
-
Smitty's makes pretty good poutine. and burgers
-
The only thing I've had to eat today is nachos. I have no idea how I'm not obese.
-
I am eating some olives.
(http://onefourfour.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/olives1.jpg)
Olives Rock!
-
Just had some tombstone garlic bread pizza, supreme, with ranch dressing on top.
Yeah, that eating healthy thing is going pretty well (actually if you only have two slices...)
-
Just woke up not long ago wanting some cereal, only we barely had enough for half a bowl so I had half Nutrigrain and half a weetbix. It was actually pretty nice.
-
I just ate a pita bread with some chicken kebab. Great snack to go to sleep on.
-
I had an east-coast style donair earlier today. Man those things are weird but delicious. Wasn't sure if I ate it right or not but it was the only way I could see to get it in me!
-
Our features editor was haranguing me about the lack of donair sauce in Saskatchewan one day and trying to explain it but failing and then after he'd gone home I looked it up on Wikipedia and it turns out the sauce is just evaporated milk, sugar, vinegar, and garlic. Thanks for bothering me about your sweet garlic vinegar milk, Haligonian!
-
It is absurd! It is a just a bastardization of tzatziki sauce because donairs are a derivative of doner kabob/gyros. It is a pretty tasty dipping sauce, though. People like sweet things in the East. Donairs and Pepsi.
In other news, I don't know how I didn't notice Ontario doesn't have garlic fingers!
-
I've been cooking for three hours and it was meant to be delicious roasted mushroom lasagne but I burnt the mushrooms and onions (which I spent over half an hour chopping) and now it is charcoal lasagne.
Edit: some epic improvisation later, it is now slightly-singed mushroom, fried onion, tomato sauce, cheese sauce and mushroom cup-a-soup (with croutons) lasagne. Only another hour to cook in the oven and I can taste it.
-
I ate Kashi Cereal with water last night because I ran out of milk.
It was OK.
-
I feel like a lost foreign exchange student, I am eating fried onions bacon and perogies.
On top of waffles.

Dammit Sam, that better be a stars 'n' stripes tea-towel in that photo.

Eating some grilled eggplant, roast capsicum, olives, hoummos and fried halloumi with pide bread.
My housies tell me that you guys don't have halloumi in the states? You need to get Obama to fix this. Pan fried halloumi with a bit of lemon on it is the Best Thing. Plus it's fried cheese! Seems like something America would dig.
-
Even better - it's fried super-salty cheese!
-

There is some muesli under all that yoghurt and fruit. Om Nom Nom

Eating some grilled eggplant, roast capsicum, olives, hoummos and fried halloumi with pide bread.
I'm going shopping tomorrow, I'm going to get in on this "delicious" act.
-
Ham & gouda antojitos.
Apparently my notion of anojito may be canuckocentric, so what I mean by this is a tortilla spread with cream cheese, then spread with salsa, then cheese is grated over top, then I put them ham on, rolled it up, toasted it, and sliced it into rounds.
Kind of like this (http://www.tigerjacks.com/images/largefood/Antojitos.jpg).
-
aw yeah midnight dinner
im eating an egg and bacon muffin with a glass of oj
holy shit it rules
-
Grilled ham and cheese with leftover chicken gravy on top. Boss.
-
I wish I had a camera just to take pictures of food with. Yesterday I carmelized a freshly-made blackberry BBQ sauce onto some ribs and served them with roast potatoes, this afternoon I've perfected my bacon & mushroom risotto (TIPS: Reserve the bacon grease to sauté the mushrooms first, and then reserve the subsequent liquids so that the bacon-y flavour lightly permeates the onion & garlic as well as the mushrooms. Then, when making the broth, make sure it's a little diluted so that you get the richness of flavour but not nearly as much of the salt. Finally, instead of something super salty for cheese, try something lighter and creamier, like mozzarella or the wheel of camembert that's sitting in my fridge. My first go at it was wayyyyyy too salty but these all helped), and tonight I'm going to bake a potato, blanche some carrots and then quickly toss them in herbed butter, and then grill up a steak and cover it in the leftover blackberry BBQ sauce.
next week is probably all kraft dinner
-
Yeah I have been eating pizza and macaroni cheese for the past two weeks but I probably should go shopping and get something better. Vegetables and such. I feel a bit crap.
To combat this i found a jar of peaches in mango juice in my cupboard, stuck it in the fridge, and now on this lovely hot day I am shoving forkfuls of dribbly, firm peach slices into my mouth and it is excellent.
-
That's gross.
-
We used to play a game wherein you take a can of peach halves, allot them one per bowl, then have a race to see who can eat theirs first.
-
Cold canned peaches are the best you guys.
-
I think you'll find that canned pears are the best.
-
i have some canned pears from my mom, they're so tasty
-
Canned peaches are pretty good. I like canned tangerines myself!
I have never encountered canned pears but I would not be opposed to such an occurrence.
-
what are you trying to say, cathy
-
you're welcome to come over to my apartment and eat some canned pears i guess
-
don't try to pull any funny shit though
-
don't try to pull any funny shit though
:oops:
-
I had roast peaches for breakfast this morning. They were served on a toasted slice of brioche loaf with generous helping of honey ricotta splotted on top.
Local cafe has good food.
-
In other news, Harry has di-a-bee-tus.
Crap, wrong thread.
-
God harry that sounds great.
OK CANNED PEARS, BEST APPLICATION OF:
Melt butter, chocolate chips, and some cream to make rudimentary chocolate sauce, serve pears w/canning juice in bowls and drizzle chocolate sauce over top.
-
Or as my wife called her late mother's version: "pears in cholesterol".
-
I just ate a whole load of toast.
Three reasons why this is noteworthy:
Toast is awesome, and eating it is always noteworthy
I have decided to flout the no-toasters-in-rooms rule and now can make breakfast without leaving my room
I experimented with my two new toast toppings, namely the Norwegian honey Jens gave me (in a ring-pull can!) and the lemon cheese I bought in Howarth. Both are delicious.
-
Last night me and Vicky had pork steaks covered in honey and wholegrain mustard with potato and leek mash. I just had a sandwich with the two leftover steaks in it. It was tasty!
-
This week is the week before payday so for dinner I am having:
Entree of Reese's cups given to me by Canadian bestie
Main of white rice with desperately wilted pak choi sauteed in butter which will hopefully be edible
Apple crumble made of apples that have been sitting decoratively on top of my microwave for probably two months and are kinda soft
This marks the last food in my house aside from pasta and slightly moldy cheddar cheese and a packet of pumpkin cup-a-soup. Some experimental cooking and food scavenging will be happening this week. Keep watching!
Update: I burnt the pak choi by putting it on to sautee and then walking away to check something. Don't do this.
-
Yeah, I've been broke lately too, so I've got nothing to report other than some red beans and rice. That said, I'm not in as dire straights as you are and I actually make a pretty mean example of red beans and rice.

I've just made dumpster curry (basically whatever you happen to have, which in my case is carrots, salad potatoes, sprouts and tomatoes). Hopefully it'll taste good but even if it doesn't it is dinner for tonight and tomorrow because I have no other time to cook.
Now back to revision! Time for another three-hour burst.
-
Beans et oregano et cheddar sur baked potato. Tres bien!
(I should post here when I cook a real meal)
-
I ended up smearing peanut butter and some cottage cheese on a cold wheat tortilla today. The fucked up thing about this is that I am a pretty good cook. Clearly, I have just given up.
-
So happy the Dfac(Army cafeteria) started having peanut butter in the morning, now i can have peanut butter pancakes every morning. That makes me happy beyond belief.
-
Thinking about makin' some mac and cheese... or ramen.
-
Thinking about makin' some mac and cheese... or ramen.
Mix them!! Go for it, break down the barriers of what is acceptable for late night munchies
-
Actually, ramen with the powder from mac and cheese is something I've been meaning to try. I've heard good and bad things, but it's clear that either way the result is somewhat mindblowing.
-
Tonight I'm totally going to make some perogies and bacon, awesome food combination. I'm thinking for tomorrows dinner I'm going to stuff some Parmesan cheese, garlic, and onions into a pork lion and serve it with some baked potatoes. Gonna pick up some sour cream and bacon bits tomorrow. And green onions. We already have cheese...so what else can you put on a baked potato?
-
. Gonna pick up some sour cream and bacon bits tomorrow. And green onions. We already have cheese...so what else can you put on a baked potato?
Chives.
-
My favorite potato topping is steamed broccoli and cheddar cheese. The broccoli flowers pick up little bits of the starchy potato, and the cheese gets in all the crevices, and everything complements everything else really nicely.
-
Bacon and perogies are so amazing. I had bacon and perogies for lunch, with sour cream and some homemade mustard on the side.
Homemade mustard was pretty good! Two tablespoons mustard seeds, crushed coarsely in a ziplock bag with an empty wine bottle because I do not have a mortar and pestle anymore, plus four tablespoons balsamic vinegar and a pinch of crushed dried hot pepper. Normally I do 1:1 mustard to solvent but I just added extra vinegar for no apparent reason. Worked out pretty amazingly deliciously.
-
I used to hate perogies. I had them baked, fried, steamed, boiled, and a few other ways. However, the only way that I've enjoyed them is when they've been boiled and then fried with bacon. I have almost no idea why, except for the fact that bacon makes everything better.
-
Soy Sauce Fries.
-
Last night I got inspired by my post in Pat's thread and made that Moroccan Lamb with Mint Couscous that I posted, tonight I am making tater tots poutine and balsamic strawberries w/ ice cream for dessert.
-
Homemade spanikopita (from David Lebovitz's recipe (http://www.davidlebovitz.com/archives/2009/03/spanakopita.html), made a couple weekends ago and frozen for future use--FYI, it freezes really well, and makes an awesome lunch) and curried chicken breast. Hedonism!
-
You worked with filo and emerged unscathed. Your kung fu is impressive.
Also, neat recipe, thanks.
-
Haha, sort of... mine looked about 20 times less pretty than his do (some of mine were spanikopita lumps rather than spanikopita triangles). But yummy nonetheless.
-
With filo, the more you work with it, the more likely it is to break your heart. Much like my ex-wife.
(I don't actually have an ex-wife.)

Last night we had this incredible roast, marinated in this marinade made out of Shiner Bock beer, with baked potatoes. We topped them with chives and this garlic feta cheese. Oh man it was soo delicious.
-
Damn I'm jealous of the Shiner Bock people, as far as I've been able to tell it's simply impossible to get it up here.
I just made nachos out of these really cool gourmet tortilla chips, topped with a 3-cheese blend, pickled jalapenos, marinated grilled chicken and that crema fresca stuff that's like sour cream only I'm pretty sure its more, alive. They were delicious and reminded me of home.
-
Phil can I just say your avatar is indeed one of my favorite things ever. Also damn those nachos sound good.
-
the other night i fucking roasted beef! i did a simple rub of plenty o' cracked black pepper and some salt. the first half hour i realized there were no drippings to speak of so i added a couple cups of beef broth over the next few hours to even shit out. unfortunately that means the root veggies i cooked in with it didnt quite get roasted properly, but they were tasty anyways. i have ideas for how to improve next time.
-

Yay for yummy Guinness Beef Stew left over from the Irish Rover - oh so tasty.
-
Last night I was hungry so I made cupcakes but I forgot to put baking powder in so they didn't rise and I didn't have caster sugar but it came out okay tasting with regular sugar and I was experimenting with the oven at my new place so the bottoms are burnt and the tops are pale. Then I made a buttload of chocolate frosting because I slipped with the milk (soy milk too! blegh) and the icing sugar was really lumpy but a bit of a whiz with my mixer turned it out okay and really they taste all right but I am not proud.
-
yeah you need to leave that skanky oven tray in the bottom to diffuse the heat, otherwise everything burns on the bottom.
-
I did! Teyla warned me. I just wasn't paying enough attention I guess. And maybe uh I had the oven turned up too high to begin with.
-
Roasted peanuts
-
I realized I must be eating better than usual because frozen pizzas are piling up in my freezer. I keep buying them out of habit, but then I don't eat them because I have some spinach ravioli or braised fish or something. Thing is, if I don't eat any soon there won't be any more room in my freezer.
-
Make a pizza pizza out of them which is where you cut up one pizza and put it on the second pizza as a topping.
TOnight I am having orange soy porkchops, rosemary potatoes, and cauliflower what up
-
Doctor the pizzas up with like, specialty toppings and shit and make them more gourmet than they have any right to be.
-
I was working late last night and ate a peking duck pizza. It was so goddamn good. Quack!
-
Use crinkly cookie cutters on the frozen pizzas and serve them at fancy gatherings.
-
Gonna be having 5 mcdoubles soon. It aint good for me, but boy is it cheap and easy.

jace why would you do a terrible thing like that.
ally it looks like any cheeseburger you would get at mcdonalds. i presume you know what that looks like, correct?
-
Flabby and unappetising?
-
I did it because there is a mcdonalds right down the street and it was 1030 at night. I washed down each burger with generic brand dr pepper. Shit was so cash.
-
buy a popcorn maker or something jace, jesus christ
-
So I made an omelette this morning that was perfect in all ways, strong cheddar, fresh onions, great runny consistency, except for the fact that I used 3 times more salt than I should have. Why, you might ask? Kosher salt man. Those huge ass kosher salt grains are hell of misleading.
Damn you kosher salt.

This man is doing it right.

Instead of going to the gym roommate and I decided to split dinner responsibilities. he made a pasta sauce out of tomato sauce, garlic, onion, pancetta, marsala and balsamic. While I stuffed some big pasta shells with ricotta cheese, ground turkey, pancetta, onion, garlic, and cheddar cheese. It turned out pretty fantastic.
-
My friends were trapped in that last storm at my house for two days, and I basically just got to impress them with my cooking skills. Also I made tacos one night. Tacos are the easiest shit in the world to make. the longest part is cooking the taco meat.

Chicken (cooked in tabasco sauce, mustard, cinnamon, Reggae Reggae Sauce and Relentless Energy drink) and an egg. I'm good at this cooking thing.

4 bigmac morning.
(Nah, that's too much in one week I'm finishing up my 3rd of 6 blueberry bagels from Tim Hortons (I will save the other three for later))
-
dude you used an energy drink to cook chicken
It tasted pretty good, man.
-
I'm all for experimentation and adventure, but adding pop to cooking usually comes out as more of a gimmick for kicks than a necessary ingredient. If you hit chicken with enough sweet sauces and marinades it'll come out pretty good pretty easy.
-
Certain sodas do work well as another option to water and brown sugar for a pre woodsmoke brine on fish or chicken to add a nice touch of sweetness and tenderness to the meat. Though, I probably wouldn't use an energy drink, likely just one of the brown sodas for their slightly herbal tastes and richness in sugars.

I believe in the heart of the food.
Also just had some turkey cold cuts (fuck yes cold cuts) and I am gonna make some cookies around 3 or 4pm I think, depends on when I get done with this one wall and shovelling the porch. I'm gonna eat the cookies after dinner.
-
How are you not the world's most blubberous man, you shitfuck i hate you
He's probably just active. I need to eat around 2,700 calories a day to maintain my current weight and since I actually want to put some on that means I'm eating around 3,200 calories most days. I'm hardly a large man at 5 foot 8 inches either. I think my cousin eats somewhere around 5.5k calories a day now.
-
Also, I had to wipe some chipotle sauce and mayo off my fingers before typing that out due to the fact that I'm eating a 1/3 lb. cheeseburger right now.
-
God, it is so good. I'm actually thinking of trying to stuff down another one.
-
I just ate a lean cuisine meal and I hate you so much Alex.
So much.
I am however enjoying some excellent Yogi Green Tea with Goji Berry.
-
I'm honestly glad I don't need to eat much more than 3k though. I have no idea how my cousin does it. I mean, it helps that the dude is basically the size of a refrigerator (he is Jeph huge and was bulking up at the time he mentioned the 5k+ number), but I still have no idea how the hell he does it. If you asked me to eat that much and exercise in the same day I'd predict very few reps and a whole lot of vomiting. I guess he downs a shit ton of protein powder a day, but still.

We had to go out shoveling snow today so I decided to make a breakfast for champions for my older brother and me. Photodumping spinach.tomato, chorizo and mozzarella omlettes in 3,2,1...

Tonight my mom is making cous cous with chicken and pablano sausages, and my brother is making carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.

i had deep-fried Oreos the other day.
I was skeptical at first but it was actually awesome; like a mini, oreo-filled doughnut. it would have been amazing with some raspberry sauce or something.
-
I've experienced the deep friend oreo as well, and was also pleasantly surprised. It was nice to know they used a good funnel cake-esc dough for the breading, making the final creation a distant relative of the stuffed doughnut. I think you are right about a little sauce on top though, some tart berry coulis would definitely add a nice compliment to the extremely rich fried cookie.

God why does this thread exist it is so useless what I am trying to say is I am starving.

Those omelettes look great and totally make me want to cook omelettes tomorrow morning, but seriously dude your stove is disgusting, clean that shit up.
-
Joe, give me at least two week's notice before you ever come to my house so that I have ample time to scour my cook-top and possibly buy a new one.
I'm eating leftovers from last night: pasta with a simple sauce of leek, finely chopped onion, finely chopped tomato, julienned zucchini, smoked trout, and salt and pepper.
-
I wish I was good at putting stuff with pasta and having it taste really nice.
I made a roast pumpkin pasta with roast cherry toms and basil but it was really boring and needed something. Also I made a napoletana sauce and tossed pasta in it with sliced ham but that was pretty boring too.
Now I am going home to reheat leftovers of these pastas for dinner.
I am not particularly excited.
-
Ingelise makes really good pasta. I am told this is because she uses tomato paste as well as fresh stuff, also grate a carrot up in that shit for sweetness.
-
Those omelettes look great and totally make me want to cook omelettes tomorrow morning, but seriously dude your stove is disgusting, clean that shit up.
Get off my back, Dad. But seriously white stains so easily, and a large part of that stuff underneath would take that stovetop cleaner that causes chemical burns to bare skin.
Also I'm lazy.

I burn 1600 calories if I just lay in bed all day, according to the BMR calculator. Also, most of the time I only eat once, maybe twice while I'm awake. Once in the morning and once at night. If I wake up after noon, I usually only eat once. That said, right now I am having the breakfast of champions, Campbells Chunky Sirloin Burger soup and indie music.

here's a big photo dump of foods i've made & eated recently
PORKCHOP & SALAD
(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k157/jcsunshine/LADIES%20STEP%202%20DIS/Photo268.jpg)
Porkchop was marinated with pepper, garlic, coriander and Orangina. The salad is spinach with crushed walnuts, pan-roasted pine nuts and chopped pear, topped with a homemade maple-balsamic vinaigrette and shaved parmesan.
ROASTED BEEFS
(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k157/jcsunshine/LADIES%20STEP%202%20DIS/Photo274.jpg)
Just roasted, nothin' special. Served with roasted root veggies and garlic herb mashed potatoes. I was too stupid to check the grain prior to roasting which is why the slices look so stupid.
CHILI
(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k157/jcsunshine/LADIES%20STEP%202%20DIS/Photo278.jpg)
Made this yesterday in the slow cooker. Could have used a lot more seasoning all around but mostly good. Cheese, sour cream and green onion were a good topping idea. This was awesome til I spent an hour on the phone and it got cold.
BMA RISOTTO
(http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k157/jcsunshine/LADIES%20STEP%202%20DIS/Photo277.jpg)
Risotto made with bacon and mushroom; used shallots rather than onion and less white wine than I should have. I used white cheddar and a bit of parmesan for the cheese because just using parmesan was way too salty. Browned some apples in butter and put them on top. Considering not using mushrooms last time, just because the dish maybe doesn't need them. Also considering using maple syrup next time, to compliment pretty much everything. I'm eating this right now and drinking an Anchor Steam. Life's almost good.
-
The roasted root veggies look really good.
-
They were totally the best part of the meal.
-
Do you roast them in the pan with the roast?
-
Yeah. My folks bought me a nice deep roasting pan, although it's seriously lacking in the rack department. I borrowed a wire rack and let the roast sit on top of that, and then I just let the veggies lie underneath.
It was an inside round and pretty lean so I had to augment the cooking process with some beef broth. Not ideal but it kept the meat moist.
-
Things roasted with roasts are some of my favorite things. It's gotten to the point where, when roasting a chicken, I get like six portobellos and quarter them and roast them with the chicken because I like those maybe more than I like chicken.
Also I like how you can not get away from mass effect two even while eating.
-
I'm eating a slice of chocolate and nut tart from my local organic green grocer/cafe, because it's cake for lunch day. The guy behind the counter at the shop admitted he'd never tried it, and he asked me what was in it; I told him "Magic and happiness."
-
"I just had the strongest memory -- coming home from school and going to the fridge... ice cold bottle of milk... big piece of chocolate cake. Just the simplicity of it... I can't think of anything that'll make me feel that happy again."

How are you not the world's most blubberous man, you shitfuck i hate you
He's probably just active. I need to eat around 2,700 calories a day to maintain my current weight and since I actually want to put some on that means I'm eating around 3,200 calories most days. I'm hardly a large man at 5 foot 8 inches either. I think my cousin eats somewhere around 5.5k calories a day now.
Aw man, me too. Pretty much exactly the same thing, except for the height. I've been trying to eat 3200 calories a day, and it is so hard. It would be so much easier if I was going to a residential college, with a 3 meals a day cafeteria, all I could eat. I've lost two pounds each of the last two weeks, putting me at less than 160 pounds and almost 6'2". I'm trying to get up to 180lbs or a bit more, I'm going to have to start going to a buffet every day or something. Maybe protein powder would help, does it have calories or did they do some sort of magic to it to make it 0 calories?
The funny thing is that since I lost two pounds each week, that would average out to 1000 calories low each day, and I know I haven't been that short, so it must be estimating low for me. Then again, I'm doing HIIT three days a week, which consumes more calories than it should for the amount of time it takes.
TL;DR how the hell is more than half the country fat.
-
I am eating some leftover spaghetti that my dad made using homemade tomato sauce made out of tomatoes from our garden. Hella oregano and some other stuff. It's the single greatest spaghetti sauce in the known universe, and my god, does it make for exceptional midnight snacking.
-
I'm having cake for breakfast at 1 pm. I love sundays.

If I wake up after noon
Is this a regular occurrence? wtf man stop being so lazy and wake the fuck up
PORKCHOP & SALAD
oo that reminds me last week we had pork chops and a kind of cous-cous salad for dinner. My fiancee and I have started this unstated system where she cooks awesome dinners and I clean up after; she's a much better cook than I am, and I already clean dishes more than she does anyway (because I use dishes more than she does) so this arrangement works great.
-
Update: there was a moth in my spaghetti. Talk about buzzkill.
-
Is this a regular occurrence? wtf man stop being so lazy and wake the fuck up
It's 6 o'clock somewhere.
-
all bran and fruit with skim milk for breakfast. i need to fight my flabby butt which is slowly starting to grow back :-(
fucking people with your fucking self control, how do you do it. candy is delicious.
-
I'm often still asleep at 12 on days when I don't have to be in lectures (basically just Saturdays and every second Thursday). It might be a bit hard for you to remember all the way back to being a student but late nights = late mornings (did I just make my first "JHocking is really old" joke?).
-
If I wake up after noon
Is this a regular occurrence? wtf man stop being so lazy and wake the fuck up
Yeah, for like 7 days in a row I didn't get up before 6pm. Now I've been doing alright with getting up right around 10am. The problem is that I don't end up being hungry until around 3 or 4pm and I end up eating with my aunt at just past 5 most days.
-
Maybe protein powder would help, does it have calories or did they do some sort of magic to it to make it 0 calories?
Nah, protein powders are generally derived from soy or dairy products, usually whey. The higher end whey isolate protein brands usually clock in somewhere around 110-120 calories per 30 grams from what I've seen, and drinking calories is generally easier than eating them. That said, I don't use them. Most of my protein comes from beans 'n' rice (usually in a small home-made burrito), eggs, tuna, cottage cheese and ham sandwiches. I eat enough cottage cheese that cutting some out in favor of pretty big dose protein powder probably wouldn't be too big of a deal nutritionally, but I just don't want to get in the habit of trying to replace meals with a drink, since I already kinda slack on eating enough fruit and vegetables as it is.
-
By the way, if you're not regularly eating beans, you should probably give that a shot. I personally never had the gassy issue some people complain of, and most people kinda grow out of that after eating them for long enough anyway. More importantly, beans are cheap as hell, they have protein AND fiber plus they're low fat, so they're definitely good starving college student food. Dry beans have a slightly annoying cook time, but they're dead easy and a decent sized batch made on Sunday usually lasts me until Wednesday.

It's like Jeremy Irons drove 18 dump trucks into cute fort cupcake-knox and stole all the cupcakes and then bruce willis had to chase him all over NYC but the Allison had cute cupcakes instead so who cares about the Die Hard franchise anyways anymore I mean really, that last one was kind of garbage. Allison has a nice looking cupcake Bruce Willis tackling a harrier notwithstanding.
Also, properly soaking and cooking beans gets rid of most of the oligosaccharides which are the sugars that your tummy can't digest but your colon bacteria can. Just make sure you observe the proper soaking and cooking times and farts won't be an issue.

So is that a large amount of calories then? I'm not really sure how much protein powder you are supposed to use for each cup of liquid you mix it into.
I've been drinking a lot of milk recently, since it has a good amount of calories without being pure teeth-rotting sugar, I'm pretty good on the protein front, eating a lot of nuts and tuna and chili (although it has beans in it so it isn't really chili but I'm not a chili stickler so I don't give a damn). I just have a hard time stuffing enough down my throat to gain weight. Is it important to not have too much protein, or does it just get sent out the other end if the body can't use it?
It probably helps that I am really stingy and don't do my own shopping, so I never buy junk food (unless you count a soda and a muffin between classes when I haven't eaten all day, but I avoid that). I could barely afford any, and I've got much better things to do with my money.
-
Just made a spicy Sun Dried tomato risotto, with some left over butternut squash, hazelnut and gouda pie on the side.
Lemon curd blueberry tart for desert.
Bitches.
-
I made an omelette that didn't end up falling apart and becoming chunky scrambled eggs!
I basically went with phil's steps, cooking some onion and tomato, then pouring the eggs (which I may have forgotten to scramble before putting the stuff on to cook) over the top. About then I thought that some soy sauce might be a good addition, so I put a little bit on the cooking eggs and hoped for the best, before adding some tuna and cheese and folding the whole thing in half.
It is delicious! It broke a little when folding it over, but still is in one piece. Next time I will add more soy sauce to the eggs in teh mixing stage, and maybe cut down all the ingredients, because this thing is huge, and I probably won't finish it.
-
I just made scrambled eggs, 4 kind of small eggs, a crumbled piece of cheddar cheese, and some cholula chipotle flakes. Need to spread out the flakes more evenly next time, but it is pretty good, and smells great.
-
So is that a large amount of calories then? I'm not really sure how much protein powder you are supposed to use for each cup of liquid you mix it into.
I just checked out the label of the stuff my brother uses, and it recommends one scoop (the aforementioned 30 grams) to 6-8 ounces of water, so it's pretty comparable to milk as far as calories per ounce goes. Anyway, I think part of the draw of protein powder has to do with some crap about being faster or slower to digest/absorb depending on what type of protein it's being derived from-- I guess lifters are trying to make sure that there's always some protein in their system so their bodies can recover fast. I don't honestly know how much I buy into that kinda thing or whether that would really have any benefits-- like I said, I don't personally use this stuff. In any case it doesn't sound terribly applicable to what you're trying to do.
As for whether it's possible to have too much protein, the jury was mixed on that one last I heard. Basically, your body can't store excess protein, so excess is pretty bad if you have kidney disease, but if you're healthy your body should be able to pass it on its own. With that said, I've heard before that there's a correlation between countries with really high protein intake and increased kidney disease, but I have no idea how accurate that is since it is falls under the category of "Something I heard that one time." And of course, there's always the bugbear of whether we're talking causation or mere correlation.
Regardless, just upping your protein consumption alone probably isn't the best route to getting your calories up, particularly since most people probably get more than enough protein anyway. Some decent carbs and fats may be in order, like pastas and avocado.
-
I'm starting to feel kind of gross about my body and my jeans are starting to get a little bit tighter. I definitely need to start eating better....nothing too drastic but I should definitely cute out a lot of the junk in my diet.
Has anyone here gone from eating quite unhealthily to eating less unhealthily, how difficult is it? How exactly should I change my shopping habits to help me eat better?
-
@ alex: Maybe, but I'm not sure I'm eating enough protein. I tend to eat a lot of bread normally, and not much meat or beans or nuts unless I force myself to. I was mainly considering using the protein powder as a partial replacement for the ovaltine I'm drinking to make the milk palatable. Especially since I am wanting to start drinking a lot more of my calories. I'm forcing myself to eat as it is, which is unpleasant, and I'm still losing weight. Do you know of anything that's good for that, if you don't recommend protein powder? I am trying to gain about 20 pounds of muscle, probably more like 25 or 30 if I try to lose some more fat as well. I really ought to talk to my doctor when I can, but I don't think I have a check-up scheduled any time soon, and I'm not even sure how much standard family doctors have to know about specialized nutrition. I'm not sure if that is the right term, but I'm in America and having a hard time not heading towards underweight, that's pretty damn special.
-

I dunno how much cooking you do from scratch but start doing that. My weight and health have both improved since I stopped cooking from boxes. Don't go shopping around mealtime, either - do it after you've eaten, preferably mid-afternoon. Only shop a couple of days in advance, unless you see really good prices on bulk stuff (meat is usually the prime example of this - I got like three racks of ribs just chillin' in my freezer right now). Buy stuff like fruits and veggies and keep those around as snacks.
If you're having trouble doing this, start planning meals a couple of days in advance. Read cookbooks and find something that interests you. Look up some blogs. It's easy enough once you know what to look for.
Bodybuilding is so weird you guys why are you talking about protein shakes and shit
-
If I'm runnin slow on breakfast I'll make a smoothie with a bunch of fruit and yogurt and either walnuts or protein powder, just to keep me solid through my class and also keep me from dying from having hella coffee in my stomach and nothing else.
Also sometimes after I go rock climbin cuz I'm tryna get ripped

I'm eating dark chocolate digestives (not much healthy here) and I noticed a funny thing when emptying the packet into the biscuit barrel - the first half have the chocolate pointing down towards the middle, and then they switch to be the other way.
-
Bodybuilding is so weird you guys why are you talking about protein shakes and shit
Of course, because someone that wants to weigh about 180-190 pounds at 6'2" is obviously trying to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm tired of being weak, slow, and quick to tire, and since I don't have the opportunities that previous generations had to get ridiculously strong (although I can't say I'm unhappy that I'm not going to be mining coal starting at 16 and ending when I die from Black Lung), I am using weights and gymnastic equipment and running. I would much rather just transplant my consciousness into a T1000 chassis, but Cyberdyne won't sell me one, so I'm stuck with this meatsack.
Ikrik, one suggestion I have heard a lot is make something big that will last a while, pots of rice or beans are good, something that you can eat pretty regularly most of the week after just cooking once. That way you are more likely to eat healthily than if you had to cook healthy three times a day.
-
potatoes are great because they're cheap as fuck, easy to make into a myriad of different foods, they last forever, and they have very little substance so you can be "full" but not necessarily filled with fat and salt and other bad stuff. Obviously, you can add that stuff if you want (like me) but if you're trying to lose weight instead of gain it, I'd advise against it.
also, what Keiffer said about smoothies. Smoothies are basically liquid jesus and they make everything better, including you!
damn now i'm hungry
-
Fuck yeah bread and butter. Bread was fresh yesterday and so it's still damn good today. I have eaten half a stick of butter this evening on bread. First I had french bread, now I had 2 white roll.
-
Okay I just had some pasta shells with velveeta, ground beef and rotal diced tomatoes and green chilies. Semi Homemade's Sandra Dee would be proud. (I hate that woman and that show, fyi)
I mean other than it was really rich for all that velveeta its was decent. Spiced the beef with salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic. I need to replace the batteries on my camera. Since I'm home most every day now I've been cooking up a storm.

I wish I was good at putting stuff with pasta and having it taste really nice.
I made a roast pumpkin pasta with roast cherry toms and basil but it was really boring and needed something. Also I made a napoletana sauce and tossed pasta in it with sliced ham but that was pretty boring too.
Now I am going home to reheat leftovers of these pastas for dinner.
I am not particularly excited.
Ally, darling. Cheese. I am pretty sure that if you made both of those again but mixed a lot of either Gouda or Blue cheese in with the pumpkin thing, and threw a mess of chevre into the napoletana, you'd be psyched.
Also, add white wine to the pumpkin sauce, and red to the other. Promise.
And more salt and pepper.
-
Kiff you are a godsend.
-
U kno I gotchu babe
-
Just ladled myself a large portion of a soup I've been making mostly out of potatoes, chopped pork loin, a bunch of jarred nopalitos, and a hint of cumin.
Shit's delicious.
-
Dinner was a dish made of the following:
-Sauteed onions
-Left-over baked chicken
-Polenta
Really hearty stuff, and I'll probably be having this for every non-breakfast meal this week (concert ticket for this friday forgoed the buying of new groceries)
-
I just had to stop myself from doing anything fancy with dinner. I was in the process of preparing to put meat in pan for sauce and caught myself about to start dicing onions and peppers to make the sauce more interesting.
Fuck that, shit came from a jar and it was totally food.
-
I take a lot of joy from dicing, especially onions. I can dice up a onion in less than a minute now.
Earlier tonight I took the easy way out in terms of meat. I just put a pork chop in a bag with some store-bought "Memories Of Dad's Grill" marinade (thanks, President's Choice" and then I grilled the shit out of it on my Foreman grill. Now I'm eating jujubes. The "sour" kind. ~welcom 2 da good lyfe~
-
Yeah, I'm hella uncoordinated, so I actually just ended up buying celery and shit all the time just so I could have cheap stuff to chop up for extra practice and snacks. It's paid off pretty well though, and I'm kinda proud of how quickly I can cook up basic shit now.
-
Fish n' Chips
-
cherry pie. And a taco.
-
Four bowls of Honey Bunches of Oats, fuck yeah.
Also, last night I had fried bologna with grilled onions and weber's hot garlic mustard. It was fantastic.
-
I just ate a banana.
Last night I had ribs made with "Australian" BBQ sauce which had plum paste in it. (Is BBQ sauce with plums in it really an Australian thing?) I had sides of steamed broccoli and baked potatoes and carrots.
-
White wine from a box (but the good bota kind not franzia) and offbrand corn chex. Because I don't buy snack food and then have to scrounge when looking for a snack.
-

I've never really heard of it, if we do have plum sauce it's just plum sauce and it's pretty much only with Asian stuff.
-
BBQ plum sauce is very Australian. We pour saucers of it for our Australian Shepherd dogs.
-
I would eat meatballs on little toothpicks at things like family picnics when I was little, and would dip it in plum sauce. It was delicious.
-
I got about 6 lbs of beef stew going in the crock, and I just rolled out about 7 lbs of potato dumplings. I think I made too much grub.
-
Look at the bright side: leftovers.
I just had some fish and couscous. Not sure what the fish had done to it, but it tasted like there had been chipotle flakes rubbed on it, so that is probably what happened. The fish was pretty good, and the couscous wasn't as bland as I was expecting, didn't need to add salt.
-
Naan bread pizzas. They're great, I recommend making them.
-
I roasted a small chicken with a bit of crushed lemongrass, some white pepper, and a touch of sea salt.
And then greedily devoured it with a baked potato for my dinner (and a lunch I never had today).
Sweet, sweet birdflesh...
-
Recently, because it's summer so I don't need to eat much meat to keep me going and there are a lot of fresh vegies available, I've been cooking lots of really simple meals with steamed vegetables or vegetables fried in olive oil. Last night, for instance, I julienned some carrots and cooked them in a frying pan in olive oil until they were sweet and soft, and I steamed some fennel and white beans and kale and to go on the side I made a really, really simple tomato sauce by peeling and chopping some tomatoes and then cooking them for a while in a small saucepan with some capers and salt and ground fennel seeds.
That's it, really simple and really delicious.

Mushrooms, onion, peas, bacon, and baby spinach leaves make for a really tasty risotto. Obviously put the spinach in right at the end because it cooks so quickly and shrinks down so much. Fry the onions, mushrooms, and bacon in some olive oil before adding the rice and liquid. Put the peas in some time towards the end of cooking the risotto as they don't take long to cook. Also if you put just a dash of nutmeg in it's really tasty. Before serving stir through some grated parmesan and fresh parsley (flat-leaf, not curly-leaf, because curly-leaf parsley is bullshit).
-
Damn right curly leaf parsley is bullshit.
Anyway I did not get to eat risotto tonight because I totally forgot that I had not drove to work today and was catching the train home and couldn't make it to the shops before they close. Totally gonna do it tomorrow or Saturday though, totally gonna make a shitload and eat risotto for weeks
-
Chili with noodles in it, YUM!

I'm barbecuing pork chops tonight. 'Cause I am a badass at the grill. I know this from having grilled tri-tip and made some fucking EPIC burgers.

I'm making a wheat berry, mushroom, and wild rice pilaf, something with asparagus and brussels sprouts, and fried pork chops with a rosemary garlic cream sauce. Psyched! Will take pictures.

Just finished a Latitude 41N Chicken Sandwich and half a dozen fried dough balls with cinnamon-honey butter. Made my sick day a bit more bearable.

For lunch about an hour ago I had gelati from one of the best gelati places in Melbourne (http://www.miettas.com.au/Australia/Victoria/Brunswick_East/Gelobar.html), which happens to be a 10-minute walk from my house, and then a rabbit pie from the French deli on Lygon Street (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lygon_Street).

-
My shit turned out... alright.
The asparaguts were done up with olive oil and crushed lemon chili almonds, those were good.
The Pilaf actually came out bomb, I was happier with that than anything else.
The pork was... tasty? I think if I had it to do over again I'd use more rosemary, and add something to the sauce. I'm realizing now that some cheese woulda worked, added some richness, some bite. The dish overall was tasty, but kinda bland, I guess. It also might be improved by using balsamic instead of red wine vinegar for the sauce, not sure though. Just needed something that wasn't there.
-
I am eating some OK but subpar by my standards home-made tortillas. Really, there's only one food I hate screwing up as much as tortillas, and that's omelets. They both come out great 99%, but I always feel stupid as hell when I do screw 'em up. Simple foods are the devil.

AH, finally, a man/women after my own heart! But as for me, I just took a shot of Maalox, so I'm not eating anything for a whiiiilllleeee.

The spaghetti I'm eating now is just in a canned store-bought tomato sauce but I threw in some Italian sausage from the Italian deli down the road and mushrooms sauteed in olive oil and just a little truffle oil, but before that I threw a few noodles in a small dish, tossed them in truffle oil, parmesan and garlic, then topped it with a bunch of basil, oregano and black pepper. The latter is something I can highly recommend - basically just pesto ingredients without having turned them into a pesto, I guess.
-
That + pine nuts sounds amazing.

Johnny there is a chance I'll be doing the pastry program at Holland College come this fall. Why don't you come here for cooking learnings? It'd be a ball.

IT IS HOT CROSS BUN SEASON YES
I just devoured two warm-crunchy-outside-soft-chewy-inside delicious sultana-filled babies with puddles of melty butter and they were amazing. There is nothing like the first Hot Cross Bun of the year.
-
Dang girl I been eating Hot Cross Buns for a month at least
-
It's not even the end of February! It's like eating Christams cake in October!
When Western civilisation eventually collapses under the weight of its own grotesque decadence, I hope you'll be satisfied with what you've done.
-
I will be very satisfied, because I'll be all full up on delicious buns yum yum
Also what do I care if Christian holidays are devalued, secularised and robbed of their original meaning
-
Dovey, where do you buy your Hot Charles Darwin Buns? I bet they're delicious.
-
But not so delicious that we can not postulate with no small amount of certainty intermediate stages of deliciousness, which we can support with evidence of proto-buns with less developed deliciousness.
-
Hot Cross Buns are now a standard all-year-round breakfast food in the UK. See what wide-spread atheism leads to?
-
Funnily enough, the all-year-round buns that a bakery/cafe near me (http://miettas.com.au/Australia/Victoria/Fitzroy/Babka.html) makes are actually nicer than their Easter-only hot cross buns.
Doesn't stop me gorging on their hot cross buns every Easter, mind.
-
You can get them all year round at some bakeries here, and they start selling them at the big supermarkets from the 1st of January. I haven't had any yet, because the bakeries here put fruit peel in theirs, and eating a delicious hot cross bun is lovely and all, but biting into a piece of fruit peel ruins it completely.
-
I'm hungry even though I just ate a bowl of cereal. It is hard to resist the two pots of chocolate mousse and the tray of flapjack sat on my windowledge, but I think I'll have some crumpets instead.
-
Wait, wait wait!
Hot Cross Buns are an actual thing?
-
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/Lapuz/random/hotxbuns.jpg)?

I'm confused. How do you hear about hot cross buns otherwise?
I am eating delicious pumpkin seeds that I just got out of the oven and sprinkled with some salt-and-vinegar popcorn flavouring stuff
-
There is a song that (at least most american, IIRC) students in elementary school learn on the recorder called Hot Cross Buns. It has a stupid simple note progression which is why it is the first song that they teach you.
-
but you don't actually get to eat hot cross buns at easter?
fuck guys, fuck.
-
Hence the rhyme:
Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
One ha' penny, two ha' penny,
Hot cross buns!
If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons
One ha' penny,
Two ha' penny,
Hot Cross Buns!
What the fuck does that mean...
-
It's an old street vendor's call; and I think it goes "one a penny, two a penny".
-
I can't even imagine a living in a place without hot cross buns.

WHOA.

I made this (http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/09/soba-with-mushrooms-bok-choy-recipe.html), using veggie broth instead of plain water. I've never done soba before and the instructions were in Japanese - I think they're a little too tender. Super flavourful, though. Bok choy was again blanched a little too long but tastes alright. If I can get the textures proper I'll be singin' next time.

Speaking of caffienated drinks, if you're in Australia and you like Earl Grey tea don't ever try Jasper's Earl Grey tea. They put lavender in it! Hey! Jasper! If I'm drinking Earl Grey I want it to to taste of two things:
1) tea;
2) bergamot.
Get your bloody frou-frou lavender out of my damn tea. Actually maybe you should stop trying to make tea altogether and just stick to coffee, as it's obviously what you do best.

Tonight for dinner I made my own particular version of a puttanesca sauce or however you spell it to have with pasta. I've made it a few times, and it goes a little something like this:
First you stir a whole lot of chopped-up pancetta in some olive oil until it's a bit cooked, then you chuck in a whole lot of skinned and pulped tomatoes, then you put in a whole lot of finely chopped anchovies (if you chop them up they dissolve throughout the sauce for extra deliciousness) then you put in a whole lot of pitted olives then you cook it all til the tomatoes are reduced to a good saucy consistency then you put in a little bit of chilli (unless you're using hot pancetta) then you stop cooking the sauce and take it off the heat then just before serving you stir in some fresh basil then you serve it with some spaghetti and some grated cheese.
You have to cook the spaghetti, too.
-
I know you said your its own particular version, but I'm pretty sure grated cheese is a cardinal sin in the puttanesca world!
(That said I'm sure it is delicious with it)
-
I'm eating a Chicken Korma with Saffron rice and Naan bread (basically the yellowest dish in the world).
I cooked it by walking down to the Nabab Tandoori on St. James street, asking Rohit if he wouldn't mind arranging for one to be cooked for me, then transferring to him a quantity of promisory notes. Then I carried it back to my place of residence and transferred the various portions of the meal from foil containers to bowls and trays. Serve with a cup of coffee because I've actually just woken up, despite the fact it's ten o clock at night.
-
Shittdamn now I want korma (lamb though) and saffron rice and naan bread. It is only 2pm, still lunch time, perhaps I should go for a walk and get some.
-
two plates of stir fry

Just made scrambled eggs with chanterelles my mom found growing wild in our yard, baby dill, onions and garlic. Totally delicious, subtle meaty flavor, they were well cooked, fluffy eggs, everything was perfect about this breakfast.
My roommate took one bite, said "yup, tastes like chanterelles!" then poured ketchup all over them, mixed them with his undercooked overspiced potatoes, and said "looks like another phenomenal breakfast."
I fucking hate cooking for these people.
-
Chanterelles are fucking 20 dollars a pound if you buy them in the damn store.
-
then poured ketchup all over them
Everyone in my life has this issue. This or ranch dressing.
All food-items must be slathered in sauce at all times.
-
People who put ketchup on eggs (which is a lot of fucking people) disgust me. I've seen people put ketchup on french toast because it has egg in it.
-
Yeah, fuck those guys.
At least use a nice salsa or something. I'm down with divorced eggs, for example.
-
There's actually a pseudo-scientific reason why ketchup is as popular as it is. It's one of the few sauces that hits 4 of the 5 flavors (sweet, sour, salty and umami). Also the reason why specialty ketchups haven't had much success in breaking Heinz's stranglehold on the market, the way, for instance, the mustard or salsa market is split up.
-
i still can't believe people actually put ranch dressing on food
Only on chicken nuggets, pizza, and french fries.
-
Ranch dressing is awesome for dipping veggies in. My fiancee has made me into a fan of snacking on yellow peppers with ranch dressing as a dipping sauce.
-
Yeah, ranch dressing is pretty much for vegetables only, as far as I'm concerned.
-
You're all wrong, except for
Only on chicken nuggets, pizza, and french fries.
who is the rightest person in the thread.
-
ranch is cool to dip hot wings in actually
-
Blue Cheese Dressing is better
-
JC is right I just forgot about them
-
Yeah, I just ate some home-made chicken tenders with home-made ranch, so I'm with those guys. Blue Cheese is best for Buffalo wings though.
-
Good homemade ranch is leagues more acceptable than store-bought ranch, so I'd be willing to give it considerably more free roam over my food, but even then it is a stretch.
Tonight my dad grilled up pork ribs and oh my god they were perfect. I've never cleaned rib bones that effortlessly in my life, even with boiled ribs (which are a fucking abomination and my dad knows it because he grills all his meat like a Real Man).
Other night I made some epic tri-tip steak. I grilled double as much as usual with the intent of having leftovers for the fridge, but we ate the leftovers before they ever dreamed of hitting the fridge. My stepmom is incredibly hard to please when it comes to cooking (despite her terrible cooking) but she devoured those fuckers and so did my dad and I am pretty proud of myself because that has never happened in the history of tri-tip within this household. VICTORYYYYYYYY
-
I put tomato sauce (ketchup, not pasta sauce) on eggs, because while I don't mind eggs, too much of the egg-y flavour makes me gag and want to vomit. That is why always have scrambled eggs or omelettes, because fried eggs with runny yolks are disgusting to me. Just the look of runny eggs makes me feel sick.
Tomato sauce on french toast is a fucking terrible thing to do.
-
Sherbet float with sprite. Delicious.
-
1) currently eating homemade naan. thanks one of my friends
2) last night i made JC Blue Label Blend Burgers. that means i had my butcher grind up a secret ratio of brisket, sirloin and short rib, divided the meat into 1/3lb patties, and drizzled butter on top of them while griddling. i served them on homemade brioche with hand-cut french fries tossed in basil and truffle oil. that's how you eat a fucking burger let me goddamn tell you

Sauteed Brussels sprouts with chanterelles, shallots, and garlic.

I'm eating a sourdough roll I bought from my local supermarket for 60c (Australian). It's actually surprisingly tasty. I guess that's what comes of living in a thoroughly middle-class inner-city suburb.

Might not need anything on it but a nice, crumbly cheddar would probably go really well with that.

Certainly, but I'm trying to make the point that too often people dismiss bread as just a method of packaging and delivering tasty food items when in fact good bread is a tasty food item all on its own, and one which I frequently enjoy eating all by itself.

I just baked banana bread!
I live on the 2nd floor of our house whilst the kitchen is in the basement, as far away as it is possible to be whilst still being in the house. I was enjoying the smells wafting up of fresh baking banana sweetness and thought I might go check on it, even though it wasn't due out for 7 minutes at least, probably more because I hadn't preheated properly. As I trundled down the stairs the sweet banana smell became slightly more sour and by the time I got to the ground floor I was jogging. On the stairs to the basement I was running because all I could smell was my delicious bread burning. I pelted to the oven and switched it off and pulled the door open in a quick movement. I grabbed a teatowel and yanked the pan out of the oven and banged it on the stovetop. The top of the banana bread was slighty dark. Will it be all right, I wondered, already planning the worst from what my wrinkled-up nose was telling me. Despite the instructions of the recipe to keep the bread in its tin until it cooled slightly, I grabbed both sides of my baking paper and threw the bread onto a cooling rack. Stripped the loaf of its modest coverings. The entire base of the bread was burned black. Still, I was going to save it. With teatowel (stripy green print) wrapped around one hand and a bread knife (green-handled) in the other, I whacked the sides and bottom from my loaf. Despite everything it was cooked perfectly, and wonderfully moist inside. I nibbled a bit of crumb. Still tasty!
Currently she is resting on her cooling rack, waiting for the time when I can prise a warm slice from her and slather it in butter. There may be slightly less of it than I intended, and no delicious chewy crust, but I consider it a success all the same.

How is it that either ingredient delivers the tastes on their own but incorporated they suck ass?
Custard on a ring doughnut however would be all kinds of rather delicous.

What the fuck is a white hotdogg, doggg.

Brodogg I don't even know. Stephen and Kat suggested that it was tasty, so I had it. I guess it has different meat in it compared to a red hot dog.

They taste fine but they look nasty and it's not enough to keep me from eating red hot dogs instead.

The photo really does not do this beautifully grilled Santa Maria-style tri-tip any justice whatsoever. I spiced and grilled this thing (and 5 others!) yesterday for dinner for my 'rents and I. I also made a big ol' salad (mushrooms, tomatoes, and red onions with romaine and a homemade Italian dressing, which was also my own doing) and some exceptional garlic bread.
This cooking shit ain't so rough I don't think

I hope it tasted better than it looks because that looks pretty nasty. Also what the fuck is a tri-tip? I assumed it was american for t-bone but apparently not. To wikipedia!

Man yeah, pictures like that are always a nice reassurance that I'm totally happy with the whole not eating meat thing.

I had breakfast today for the first time in a while, and I tried something different than the usual pancakes. I took some toasts and put them in a pan to grill them. After that, I spread some nutella and poured a bit of sweetened condensed milk on it. It was so awesome.

That does sound pretty good, and the steak doesn't look very good, but I am glad that I eat meat. It's already really difficult to get as much protein as I should have without using any powders, it would be even tougher without meat.

Not a fan of peanut butter then?

Today we made this!
Chocolate Caramel Peanut Butter Banana Tart (http://www.mytartelette.com/2010/02/recipe-chocolate-caramel-banana-tarts.html).
Basically it is the best thing ever.
-
Not a fan of peanut butter then?
Not that much of it. I am trying to get at least 160 grams of protein per day, peanut butter starts to get boring after a while. Tuna is nice, a small can has about 50 grams in it. I can usually eat a can's worth of tuna salad in one long sitting. Wouldn't want to make a habit of it, though.
That tart looks absolutely delicious. So very rich, but so very delicious.
-
Have you considered drinking a protein shake? You just mix the powder with water and it tastes kinda like a milkshake. If you're feeling adventurous you can toss it into a blender with some ice and fruit.
A big jug like this will cost maybe $15 at walmart and last you at least 1 month, and you can get most of your daily protein requirement from it.

That's actually what I mean to do, when I get around to buying some. Might actually be that exact kind, I've heard the ON whey double chocolate (what does double chocolate mean, anyway? How can it be more chocolate than chocolate?) is almost as good as chocolate milk, and it is 80% protein. I had been on the fence about it earlier in this thread, and then I read that as a rule of thumb you are supposed to get at least a gram of protein per pound of body weight if you are trying to gain muscle, so I'm definitely getting some of that. 48 grams of protein per 16 ounce glass plus 16 grams of protein from 16 ounces of whole milk means an easy 64 grams of protein. The ON stuff is more expensive, the cheapest by volume I've seen is $35 for the 5-pound jug, but if it doesn't taste like shit and it means I don't have to stress about food so much, it's worth it. Especially since my parents are paying for it.
-
I take it you're trying to put on weight? What sort of lifting routine do you have set up?
-
I'm doing one by a guy called Alfalfa on the SA health forum, the hardgainer 2-day split. Works well because I'm also doing the couch to 5k three days a week, parkour once a week, and letting my aching tired body recover one day a week. Theoretically, it looks like this:
Day One:
Bench Press: 3x6-8
Incline BB/DB Press: 2x10-12
Military Press: 3x6-8
DB Skull Crushers or Close Grip Bench Press with 4-5” ROM (Not all the way down to your chest and your index fingers should be where the knurling starts): 3x10-12
Kneeling Cable Crunches or Other Heavy Ab Exercise: 3x10
Day Two:
Pull-Ups or Wide Lat Pull-Downs: 3xAMAP (As Many As Possible – Use Minimum ¾ Your BW for Pull-Downs
Bent Over Yates Row 3 x 8 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNxZmvOdl5Q
EZ-Bar Curl: 2 x 10
Squats: 2 x 10
Deadlifts: 1 x 10
In practice, I'm still trying to find a gym I like, so I'm using the home gym my father bought almost a decade ago. That means I am limited to just the bench press, cable crunches, pull-downs, and row. I'm visiting a gym that I've heard is pretty good this week, so with any luck I'll be able to get the full thing going. I'm already seeing real strength differences even with the limited equipment, though.
Before anyone jumps on me for being a gross bodybuilder again, I'm around 6'2" and weigh 160 pounds. I'm trying to stop being scrawny, trying to be in something resembling good shape, not be a muscleman.

You and I have opposite goals. I started at 6'0'' 245 lbs, and have worked my way down to 200ish, but it took me 2 years to do so. I do a 4-5 day a week work out with day 1 being quads/calves, day 2 chest, triceps, forearms, day 3 lower back, biceps, day 4 upper back, shoulders, day 5 (if i make it) abs. I do between 7 and 10 different exercises per day and try to hit 3 sets of 12 before moving up in weight. Mix that in with 2-3 days of soccer a week and I am really tired all the time.
Since I'm not going for muscle gain, I don't really monitor my protein intake. I do still drink the shake out of superstition hoping that it'll help my muscles not be sore the next day. Really my only goal is to not look embarrassing in a swimsuit/speedo when I go on my honeymoon in May. I have 2 months left to get everything nice and tight.
Now, back to the point of the thread. We're about to grill some pork chops AND make roasted lamb. We're eatin' good tonight
-
Linds, I want those cookies so much. I don't think we're going to be having any this year, what with the rest of my family trying to cut added sugar out of their diet. Normally we get several boxes and they are gone in no time. So delicious.
I'm about to make a sandwich. Pastrami, sharp cheddar, whole wheat bread, brown mustard and mayo. Finishing the last of my sweet tea from lunch as well.
-
There are awesome tasting non-meat proteins too! Seitan is made from wheat gluten and has crazy protein levels. You can also get TVP in bags by Bobs Red Mill (probably right next to the gluten) that has good protein and can be used like ground beef minus the heart-wrenching CAFO factor:)

Hey is rye bread called by another name in Australialand? Because I have never seen rye bread here.
-
Rye is a hearty grain for people who live in cold places. It is big beans in Russia, Canada, and Northern Germany for example, with Germans probably making the best use of it. If you have ever had pumpernickel, that is a rye bread, but I take serious issue with a lot of store-bought pumpernickel; they put way too much fuckin' caraway seeds in it to cover up the fact that it's just wonderbread-style junk dyed brown, and then it tastes like garbage and I am upset because pumpernickel should be delicious.
-
It was kind of spring-like out and that's close enough to summer for me!
-endive, celery & strawberry salad
-rice pilaf (but it didn't turn out right! fuck you back of the safeway long grain rice bag your directions are for shit)
-grilled marinated chicken (maple, apple & beer store-bought marinade) with fresh mango-peach salsa
Most of this shit I bought on sale somehow! Hell yeah!

You're not missing out much by not having Rye bread. It's a food that can only really be appreciated with the accompaniments of ersatz coffee and Stalinism.

Hey is rye bread called by another name in Australialand? Because I have never seen rye bread here.
Rye bread is not very popular in Australia. It's too unusual to most people's tastes here. If you go to your supermarket, look for the darkest bread you can find, and that'll be rye bread. However most rye bread in Australia is shit: very few proper bakeries make it and the supermarket stuff is, well, supermarket stuff. I never appreciated rye bread until I travelled through Scandinavia: there they make really the nice stuff, and they put all sorts of marinated herring and cured salmon and other yummy things on top of it.
-
'marinated herring'.
:/
My supper this evening gone was bangers and mash with curly kale. Organic sausages and all. Good solid incredibly tasty food, just how I like it!
-
If you can find a bakery that is run by Germans, they will make good rye bread for you. Germans always complain about being unable to find good bread abroad.
I am drinking moka-pot espresso and eating brownies and barbecue chips. After I have eaten enough chips, my palette forgets it has eaten brownie and then I look at the plate of brownies and think 'my they look tasty' and then I eat some more.

Mmmmmmmmmm want! I wish I had an oven that actually worked and wasn't coated with a ten-year layer of dirt from incompetent student cooking :(
-
That is the most fantastic idea ever and as soon as we get our ovening facilities back (4-5 months) I'm doing that.
Did you try to get the icing/cream consistent or did you not worry about that?
-
My college has a cafe in the library. It has become one of my major sources of sustenance due to the large, cheap, and not-horrible subs they sell. I just ate one 45 minutes ago.

caramel-filled fudge brownies that i made for my boss's birthday tomorrow. they are so rich and gooey even i can barely eat more than one or two before i feel sick. observe -

this one is such a mess because i couldn't resist cutting a piece while they were still warm from the oven, they actually hold together pretty well once they cool.
bonus story: i also licked the saucepan with all the melted caramel still in it forgetting that i had just taken it off the stovetop not even 60 seconds earlier. don't act so surprised. it burned my flesh but it was also delicious so y'know, you win some you lose some.

Gotta tell you Tania, that looks like a poo.
Don't worry, most of the tastiest food I cook looks like vom.
-
No poo of mine has ever looked that good.
I have been staring at that picture, imagining my mouth filling with warm, fudgy, caramelly goodness for several minutes now.
-
yeah man if your poo is consistently creamy and orange you are doing something very, very wrong with your life
-
Maybe it's my monitor settings but that picture definitely looks brown on my computer.
-
yeah yeah, "monitor settings".
whatever harry. everyone already knows you have weird poo, you're just making it worse by trying to back peddle now.
-
No it looks like poo on my screen too. I didn't want to point it out though.
-
I would just like to point out the semantic difference between the phrases "looks like poo" and "looks like a poo". I'm sure your brownie was delicious.

oreo cupcakes for my sister's birthday!
recipe from how to eat a cupcake (http://www.howtoeatacupcake.net/2008/05/cookies-and-cream-cupcakes-from-scratch.html).
(http://i39.tinypic.com/oi5heg.jpg)
it's full of cookie pieces. they came out so sweet and yummy, just like eating a big fluffy oreo. i'm definitely going to write this one down for the future.
protip: do NOT make the amount of icing the recipe stipulates. you will only need like, half that, tops. i had so much leftover icing it was stupid. too much even for me to eat.
-
They look pretty good Linds but they are no Beneath The Cookies And Cremains (http://metalcakes.blogspot.com/2008/06/beneath-cookies-and-cremains.html)
-
linds?!
dang dovey, i thought we were friends but i guess all girls are the same to you after all :(
-
So I think maybe why I called you Linds is because baking is woman's work, and what with you being so hyper-butch and all I just couldn't connect it all in my mind.
-
what
-
yeah well guess who isn't hanging out with you in toronto anymore.
that's right, allison.
(because i'll tell her you are a jerk)

-

peddle
IT'S PEDAL, I'VE SEEN THIS LIKE TEN TIMES IN A WEEK AND I'M GOIN OUT OF MY MIND
-
YOU PEDDLE WHEN YOU SELL SHIT AAAAGH AGH AGH
-
jc i am very sorry although in my defense how often does someone who doesn't play guitar or sell fruit or own a paddle boat even use the words "pedal" or "peddle" in their life. it's like five times maybe.
-
Yeah pedals are sort of a really uncommon thing.

I think you just got "told"?
-
I think you just got "served"?
fyp + thrown in a "post + thread name" joke.
...
Always a pleasure.

Then there is the little-known homophone "pedl" which is Swedish for "anally obsessive about spelling on an informal communication medium".
Those Swedes, they have a word for everything.
