Gromnir Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 its fat tuesday, so we is making something that makes us think o' new orleans: monkfish gumbo. however, we dislike okra, so *add shame-faced emoticon here* we is gonna use filé powder instead o' traditional okra. also, we do not have any fish stock on hand, so am gonna use vegetable stock and punch it up a bit. also, even though this is Gromnir's own recipe, and our recipe calls for 3 bay leaves, we always add 4. so, am guessing we ain't so much making monkfish gumbo as we is making a thickened monkfish soup. is easier to say monkfish gumbo.

LadyCrimson Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Bar & Grill place, phone order: Me: "I'd like the NY Steak sandwich." Them: "That's not on the menu anymore, we have a ribeye with italian/pesto rub/spices etc. instead..." Me: *doesn't want to stare at the menu again* ... "...ok, fine, I'll try that." ...never know, could be awesome. “Things are as they are.

Keyrock Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I don't feel like making a separate thread for this so I'll just put it here. We have some Brits on the forums, so I'm asking said Brits, transplanted or still in the UK, give me some crisps suggestions. I'm thinking about importing some across the ocean to try some out. I'm tired of the chips we have here in the US, I'd like to try something a bit different.

LadyCrimson Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I saw an ad for a potato and bacon pizza. Now, I'm not normally into what I'd call non-(US)traditional pizzas, but for some reason, that sounded good. I may have to try one someday. But today isn't that day, so I had taco-truck tacos instead. Later I may cook up some teriyaki-marinated meat sandwiches. “Things are as they are.

They are insanely delicious, but they are massive calorie bombs, even more so than pizza in general. Even better is bacon, potato, and chicken.

LadyCrimson Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 ^ I assume it's a not-red sauce? Potato on pizza isn't common around here...by "here" I mean far out of San Fran. Might be everywhere in SF for all I know. I think Amici's has a version of it, but that's not where I saw it. Around here chicken+seafood+spinach or other vegies and feta/ricotta seems the main things on the 'artisan" pizzas, really. “Things are as they are.

Unless you think I live in San Fran, which I don't, I live on the opposite coast, then that's a weird non sequitur. It's usually a white sauce with potato & bacon pizza in my experiences.

LadyCrimson Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 ^^ Sorry for any confusion. It's one of those auto-habits, from my experiences of how often others think "BayArea" = San Francisco. 35 minute drive away but I really know nothing about SF, except that sometimes what's common there isn't common here. “Things are as they are.

ShadySands Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) I've had some pretty good casserole pizzas, I'm not going to lie, but my favorite is the New York style. Lucky for me we have some pretty good options here in Denver EDIT: and to destroy any credibility that I probably never had, I actually liked Round Table Pizza the last time I was in the Bay Area. But in my defense it was my favorite pizza as kid (but they also went out of business in my hometown when I was a kid) so I have a soft spot for it Edited February 27, 2015 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still consider it one of the better "chains"...rather have it than Pizza Hut/Mountain Mikes, by far. Most better pizza I've had are at Italian restaurant combos.

ShadySands Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 So David changed their BBQ sunflower seed taste and now it's more similar to the inferior Frito Lay BBQ sunflower seed. I'm almost upset enough about this to write my congressman. It's bad enough that none of the stores around here carry the nacho flavored seeds so I don't even have a good fallback for when I want some good flavored seeds. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I made extra dough from Tuesday so I could make something easy to eat on my hike today. So, last night I rolled it out, put mozzarella cheese and pepperoni on it, and rolled it up and baked it. It's in my backpack for when I decide to stop and eat.

Guard Dog Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Lady GD is at work and I just got home from a 4 hour drive. As hungry as I am the only thing I have energy enough to make is a microwave hotdog with a lowball glass of bourbon to wash the taste away.

Enoch Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Chicken breasts in a mushroom cream sauce. Roasted cauliflower. Rice. Aesthetically, a bit too all-white. But the other veggies in the store didn't look too great, and the cream sauce was the wife's preference. (I told her I could make either that or a red wine sauce and went with her choice.) Now I may follow GD's lead on that whiskey. (Although mine is rye.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantousent Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Boozehound bastards! I felt unusually beat up after my hike today and even cut out a bit of my workout at the gym. So, instead of making what I'd planned for myself and the Cantess, I used the last of the pizza dough to make a Zucchini, mushroom, and pepperoni pizza. I've toyed around with different things, but I think for the time investment high gluten bread with an approximately one hour rise is perfectly good unless you want to go fancy. I'm sautéing the leftover zucchini with yellow squash, garlic, and pepper for a side dish.
