Currently boiling green onion in chicken broth, which I intend to add some brown rice to for a simple soup.

 

Taking GF here for dinner tonight: http://www.eighty3memphis.com/index.php

Looks interesting. I suppose the reason you're going to a place with "passion food" is that you hope to get lucky?

Nice GD!

 

I've got the 4th anniversary of the first date that I had with my wife coming up in less than 2 weeks but I'm not sure where to take her. I'm stuck between the sushi place that we went to on our first date or her favorite restaurant.

I'd take her to her favorite restaurant#. In my experience* while most women do appreciate sentimental things, they prefer to be treated to their favorite things.

 

#If I were you of course. I wouldn't date someone's wife.

*Admittedly, I have never been married so perhaps Hurlshot would be a better source of information.

Urgh. Ate domino's pizza for dinner yesterday. Feel like I've swallowed a synthetic fibre pillow.

Also ate pizza, but not from any big evil franchise. Ate at my local pizzeria where they prepare everything themselves and know exactly how I want my favorite pizza.

For breakfast I made scrambled eggs with bell peppers, sun dried tomato, onion, zucchini and a little bit of parmesan and goat cheese

 

For lunch I had a double mushroom pizza that went a little light on the cheese from Papa John's with a side of anchovies

Influenced by reading about the 1600s I experimented with a curry heavy on aromatics like nutmeg and cinnamon. Think it would have been better as chicken, rather than lamb. But lamb was in the fridge, so..

I'm smoking a Boston Butt. I made a dry rub of salt, sugar, paprika, mustard, garlic powder, ground pepper, and celery seed, & cayenne pepper. I rubbed it down and bagged it up in the refrigerator overnight. Now I'm smoking it at 225 for 7 hours. I'm also making steamed corn on the cob and rice with sautéed mushrooms & onions. For dessert I've made bread pudding this morning and it's cooling in the fridge.

Weirdly, it was reading this that I most understood your stance of Federal government. Completely true.

You lost me Wals. I'm not seeing the connection at all.

Boston Butt? Pork?

Boston Butt? Pork?

 

Yes, and it's from the shoulder too so I'm not sure where the name comes from but we always use it for pulled pork

Yep. Sometimes it's smoked or pressure cooked to make pulled pork. I just cut it into chunks for dipping in a Coca Cola based BBQ sauce I made. VERY tender.

Shrimp fried rice and a Lucky U IPA.

 

I did not do a good job at the fried rice, but it was my first time. And I've decided I don't like IPAs based on this one beer...

Tonight I will eat garlic sausage with green beans and rice.

Sipping a Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin while waiting for my chicken fried rice to arrive

Chicken salad sandwich, vanilla yogurt and two white peaches. The white peaches were soooooooo yummy. I wish they were in season all year long.

I was planning on having Sausage and Mash but we are having a power outage so I may need to get takeaways

Yeah I could have done that but I didn't have any charcoal

Tinned sardines, shallow fried in sunflower oil, plentiful garlic, cardamom, fresh chillis, black pepper, oregano, topped off with virgin olive oil, added fine chopped carrot to give sweetness and bulk. Served stirred through white rice.

 

Drinking licorice and mint tea.

Two Four Locos.

Had a delicious plate of eggs benedict and hash browns for lunch.

Fish. I don't know what kind, I haven't gone down to the river yet. But we'll see.
