What you having for dinner tonight?


Tale

Recommended Posts

Tried a pork rib place the other week. Heard great things about it from other people. They were large (not the small babyback) and meaty and the sauce was ok, but holy cow they were super strong with that fake liquid smoke taste. Made it really hard to eat without drowning them in sauce. I've since decided these "other people" have broken tastebuds. They also thought certain Chinese food was good, until we showed them better.

 

I swear, there aren't any good basic eateries here at this point (used to be some, all gone now). *pouts*

Not for dinner, but just in case you ever want to impress anyone with a fruit hedgehog...because, reasons.

Not for dinner, but worth noting, Cheesy Garlic Bread potato chips taste exactly like cheesy garlic bread. Even the texture seems buttery and toasted. 

 

The other flavor I grabbed is Cheddar Bacon Mac and Cheese. Haven't opened it, waiting 'till after I get back from Utah. I miss home already and I haven't even left yet.

If it's famous why haven't I heard of it until now? I keep up with famous dishes and you sir, are a charlatan.

Last night I had McDonald's, two double (processed)cheese(product) burgers with extra (processed)cheese(product) and a small order of (probably)fries.

 

This is my SOP

1. Remove (peel off) top bun

2. Visually inspect the product

3. Count the 5 pieces of onion

4. Remove the pickle

5. Give the pickle to my wife  :brows:

6. Attach a small number of freedom fries in a crisscrossed pattern

7. Reapply top bun

 

This morning I was so sick to my stomach that I threw up during my workout

 

Totally worth it

I sometimes, rarely, eat Mcdonalds but why do you eat it ? You are surrounded by good food in Denver and you are a foodie?  Do you really like the Mcdonalds ?

Sometimes I want what I shouldn't have

 

Besides it was the only thing nearby that was open after midnight and yeah, I kinda do actually like it

 

I had Mcdonalds about two weeks ago, I had the double pound burger with 2 EXTRA slices of cheese 

 

It was very tasty as I was very stoned  :biggrin:

Oh man I totally peel off the top bun every time and remove offending pickles. Why do they exist and who put them there. Were they forced to do it. 

 

It happens less now, thanks to breakfast being served all day at McD's. Someone who is normal and well-adjusted realized you don't mix pickles with bacon, egg, and cheeses. Burger King has better burgers anyway, but still puts pickles all over the place. Carl's Jr. has a new super spicy Diablo burger I'd love to try. No pickles.

How oftem do you eat McDonalds. You and I have very similar hamburger tastes..whenever you describe the burgers you have at proper restaurants they always sound delicious....plus we both like drinking so that  wouldn't be a problem   o:)

I actually ate at a "Rally's" fast food chain today. I rarely eat fast food (usually it's veggies and I'm just so dang bored of veggies) so I went a little nuts. I got a double BBQ bacon cheese burger (sounds healthy) which has two burger patties, lettuce, BBQ sauce, 2 fried onion rings, and plenty of bacon. It was pretty tasty. I also got a small chili and a small box of chicken bites (basically chicken nuggets) to go with it.

 

Rally's is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I like it, but I kinda feel bad after I eat it; I think, "Dang. That's so unhealthy! Next time I should just go to subway."

Well, usually I actually do choose veggies (especially celery), but I'm just kinda bored of them. I need change. I'm thinking of getting a bunch of bananas tomorrow.

Midnight snack, Pop-Tarts PB and J Strawberry. The PB is pretty weak, so, I smeared a fat pat of Skippy Super Chunk onto a pair of hot tarts. 

 

I eat healthy, too, sometimes. I've tried kale. Soon after, asparagus showed up with cream cheese and put down a tasteful beating.

 It sounds like the type of midnight food  raiding I do when I have the munchies :lol:

It was totally a stoney baloney snack, but no puff puff give 'round here. Chug chug burp, usually. Mary just makes me sad, don't know why.  

 

Yeah I hear that from several people I know where smoking weed makes them feel  either paranoid, stupid or depressed. So they just wont do it 

 

But I think this is to do with the quality of weed a persons smokes, cheap weed can make you feel like that. I only suffer from feeling stupid at times when I'm stoned...but that's part of the fun. My natural personality is where I tend to think about many things all at once and sometimes this can be a little  disruptive. So  focusing and thinking about one thing, like a TV series or funny movie, is a nice break for me

Back in the days when I was young and I still did that sort of thing, what it mostly did was put me to sleep. Which was alright really, because I've always had trouble getting to sleep.

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

I plan on throwing some T-bones and asparagus on the grill this weekend. Got the steaks, got a full tank of gas, never actually grilled asparagus before but it looks pretty painless. Just slather with olive oil and salt and toss it on the grill.

 

Sounds good, the asparagus will cook  very quick..2-3 minutes I reckon ?

That's pretty much it, although a splash of something acidic (lemon or your favorite type of vinegar) is a nice addition.  They cook quickly-- and cool quickly once cooked-- so it's probably best to toss them on when you remove the steaks to rest.

I usually put asparagus in foil and let it sit on the grill for about 15 minutes.  That way they are nice and soft, but still a bit crispy from cooking in the oil.  I use olive oil, salt, and pepper.
