BruceVC Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 I worked last night and I went out on Friday so my meals have been inconsistent and take-away based. Pizza and alcohol But today I'm having Spare Ribs for lunch with potato salad There should be left over from that for supper "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

LadyCrimson Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Yesterday: cold pizza for lunch, spicy chicken meatball soup for dinner. Today - I have a hankering for a good deli sandwich for lunch, but since there aren't any truly good deli's anymore, I'm going to have to go get the fixin's to make my own. “Things are as they are.

Hurlshort Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 I'm making Stromboli tonight. I had some Salami and mozzarella that were close to expiring, so I thought it would be a good use for them. I use this recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/scott-conant/scarpetta-stromboli-recipe/index.html It's delicious and not greasy at all. Really more like a delicious loaf of bread.
Walsingham Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Black pudding and apple, with mashed potato. I have a bottle of cold ale somewhere hereabouts to go with. "It wasn't lies.

Walsingham Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Wholewheat toast, butter, and homemade grapefruit marmalade for breakfast. I use butter because it makes me feel full till lunch, unlike margarine, which leaves me hungry again in about half an hour. Spaghetti carbonara (no cream) later, I think. Have good bacon, eggs, and garlic. 1 "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Have good bacon, eggs, and garlic. I had carbonara for dinner last light. Death to cream in carbonara! Bacon, 50/50 whole eggs to egg yolk ratio, pecorino romano, sea salt, freshly cracked tellicherry black pepper. Sometimes I add red pepper flakes and garlic - but that's just me being decadent. 1 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Walsingham Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) I'm off to a session with the blokes in the pub, after a weekend without. This means cheese and onion sandwiches, but to make sure I'm not too hungry I'm going to make pancake mix and do a couple first. Edited August 26, 2013 by Walsingham "It wasn't lies.

BruceVC Posted August 26, 2013 Author Posted August 26, 2013 What do you guys do to spice up your rice?

BruceVC Posted August 26, 2013 Author Posted August 26, 2013 Put pepper on it. I could do that, I ended up using a Peri-Peri sauce that did add flavour but I was looking at a more elegant solution to infuse flavour while the rice is cooking.

I enjoyed my dinner but the rice was lacking in flavour Sometimes I replace part or all of the water with broth with the type depending on what I'm pairing it with Also, different spices and veggies or meats like cardamom, saffron, turmeric, mushrooms, scallions, celery, peppers, onions, eggs , etc. A favorite of mine is cilantro and lime Free games updated 3/4/21
'GM' Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 What do you guys do to spice up your rice? I enjoyed my dinner but the rice was lacking in flavour I let my rice cool just a bit then saute it in a bit of olive oil with chopped up veggies (whatever strikes your fancy) and a dash or two of soy sauce. I like it a bit browned. Super good. I've even taken the leftovers the next morning and added eggs to it, scrambling it all together.
