ShadySands Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 I've had it many times and it's pretty good. They have a food truck that used to come to the Denver Fed Center once a week. Of course, I think many of my family's fry bread is better but I grew up with a lot of similar foods. 2 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadySands Posted March 5, 2023 Author Share Posted March 5, 2023 I ended up making ramen. Sauteed some ****ake mushrooms in soy sauce and a few drops of Maggi seasoning and tossed that in with some tofu, wakame, green onion, bamboo shoots, and crispy garlic. Served with some crispy pork belly. Son ate the pork belly but not the soup. Wife ate the soup but not the pork. I ate all the leftovers. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyrock Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) Zupa ogórkowa: Lessons learned for next time: 1) Use more carrot to balance out the sourness of the pickles a bit more. I want the soup to be sour, but slightly less sour than it came out. 2) A slice of rye bread would go perfectly with this. Still, definitely a success. It's not quite as good as my dad's zupa ogórkowa, but that's a really high bar to clear. I'm a lot more proficient at cooking Polish soups than I am Asian soups. I mean, I grew up on this stuff.

teknoman2 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I made some special burgers yesterday. I wasn't sure if they'd be good but i still gave it a go. I used the standard recipe for the most part but i added ground zucchini and carrot, then i filled them with cheese and grilled them. Turned out pretty good 3 The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder. -Teknoman2- What?

Tale Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I'm not even sure it officially qualifies as food. I just bought a bunch of Huel. It's my second time toying around with plant based meal replacements, the first being one of the early formulations of Soylent. There's something about finding bachelor chow I am fascinated by. Ultra easy low calorie meals. Am I lazy slob who is looking to suck all the joy out of food by turning it into a numbers game? I don't have to answer that and you can't make me. The Mac and Cheese was bland. This makes total sense for 200 calories at a half serving of Mac and "cheese." It's basically a cheese textured starch powder. Being inoffensively bland is a win. 1 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I went to Jasmine Grill, a Mediterranean restaurant in The Queen City, with my sister. I got kofta kebabs with baba ganoush and fatush. Those were some of the most delicious kebabs I've ever had.

Gorth Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 If anyone ever happens to go to Melbourne some day and are curious about Danish food. I can recommend the Denmark House. An old establishment and no, nobody in there speak Danish, I tried But the smørrebrød is just as good, if not better than anything you get back in Denmark and the Aalborg Akvavit (schnaps) is imported. The dark rhye bread is fresh made in house, not the concrete bricks pretending to be bread you get in supermarkets. For me a must go to place next time I get to Melboure Yes, I got two variants of herring, because I'm a sucker for pickled herrings Edit: Found a Danish letter ø, that I could cut and paste 4 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Gromnir Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 @Gorth am not a fan o' pickled herring but that spread don't look terrible. am not seeing any rotting walrus/whale blubber but you nordic peoples can be sneaky with the menu. unrelated, but as soup has made a few appearances o' late, am gonna share a couple videos from jacques pépin as he is kinda our soup pole star. had never considered the quick grits as a thickener 'fore we saw the 'bove video. also, to show how flexible is the soup approach, is another variation from 2008. is so rare one is able to use "unpretentious" and "french" to describe one individual.

Gromnir Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 made beans and greens https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021902-braised-white-beans-and-greens-with-parmesan we don't much follow the 'bove recipe but our version is a close approximation and is one o' the few ways am willing to eat kale. am making 'bout 1/2 what is called for in the nytimes version and even so am only using 1/2 C o' chicken stock as posed to 2C and am adding 2x as much red pepper flakes. added 4 cloves garlic, but that were 'cause one o' the cloves were just a wee little thing. ordinarily we skip the fennel and use more onion. today was "ordinarily." broccoli rabe or escarole is gonna be our go to greens, but we also like kale for this concoction, so we used one fair sized bunch o' kale. no mozzarella in our version but we do use a decent amount o' parmesan. obvious if you want more healthy you are gonna reduce cheese. we chose not to reduce the cheese. the times for cooking in the linked recipe is wrong for us. it always takes more than four to six for the kale begin getting wilty and our single can o' cannellini beans (again, am doing 'bout 1/2 the recipe) demands at least the eight minutes to be reaching proper tenderness. admitted, to begin having the kale become wilted we cook covered medium-low as 'posed to uncovered medium. to finish am adding a healthy drizzle o' olive oil and fresh grated parmesan . no lemon juice, though that would bring brightness to the dish. am not a vegetarian by any means, but we do enjoy beans and greens.
