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.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #707 on:** 17 Feb 2010, 18:28 »

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.

Theriandros · « **Reply #709 on:** 17 Feb 2010, 20:35 »

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).

David_Dovey · « **Reply #715 on:** 18 Feb 2010, 05:34 »

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

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. Later I'll have club crackers with Amish Door Market peanut butter whip squeezed on top, or a navel orange, or both. I can't for the life of me make my photos show up in any of these forums, so sorry but no picture evidence.

I am not eating anything now, but for lunch I had two pieces of tomato bruschetta at work, which was delicious.

Inlander · « **Reply #721 on:** 18 Feb 2010, 21:34 »

For lunch about an hour ago I had gelati from one of the best gelati places in Melbourne, which happens to be a 10-minute walk from my house, and then a rabbit pie from the French deli on Lygon Street.

tater tots/japanese mayo/vietnamese chilli sauce

i believe this is what is termed "fusion cuisine"

Hot diggity! Photobucket wins over Flikr!

This is my fever stricken 2am snack. PB whip on everything!

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #724 on:** 18 Feb 2010, 23:02 »

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.

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.

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.

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.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #736 on:** 20 Feb 2010, 00:56 »

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.

pwhodges · « **Reply #737 on:** 20 Feb 2010, 00:59 »

Hot Cross Buns are now a standard all-year-round breakfast food in the UK. See what wide-spread atheism leads to?

Inlander · « **Reply #738 on:** 20 Feb 2010, 01:26 »

Funnily enough, the all-year-round buns that a bakery/cafe near me makes are actually nicer than their Easter-only hot cross buns.

Doesn't stop me gorging on their hot cross buns every Easter, mind.

Eris · « **Reply #739 on:** 20 Feb 2010, 03:05 »

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.

Barmymoo · « **Reply #740 on:** 20 Feb 2010, 04:51 »

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.

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.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #745 on:** 21 Feb 2010, 00:34 »

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...

Gonna go ahead and mention that you gotta go to A Place to find McVitie's Chocolate Digestives. It is truly a wonder the suicide rate here in the States isn't upwards of 75%.
