Hurlshort Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I would eat asparagus every day if I could. Sprinkle a little sea salt and pepper on it with a light drizzle of olive oil and it grills up great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadySands Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) I made some duck fat fries with parmesan, garlic, and black truffle. I didn't eat any but they smelled delicious. Also grilled some lemon pepper chicken breast as meal prep for my wife Edited May 23, 2018 by ShadySands 1 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I found out you can cook pasta in broth. My life will be changed forever. I got this crate of Kelp Broth with Thai seasoning for free awhile ago, and I've been trying to work through it. I wanted to male fusilli pasta, but was tired of tomato based sauces. It came out great, I sprinkled some crumbled feta cheese on it and served it with chicken apple sausages and baked brussel sprouts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Minestrone is too soupy for me. I cooked down all the broth so it was just a pasta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadySands Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Making another Caesar salad. Made croutons this time along with the normal fried capers and grilled romaine. Weakest part is the sauce so next time I might have to make that from scratch too. Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyrock Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Usually I just make myself a quick sandwich from the stuff we stock up on at Walmart and put in the mini fridge on our semi truck in the interest of saving money and time. But, being couped up in that truck nearly 24/7, once in a while you gotta stop, take some time, and eat a good meal to feel human again. Today we stopped at a Petro truck stop in Arkansas and they had an Iron Skillet restaurant there (most of the time it's Subway, Wendys, Arbys, that sort of thing). Looking through the menu I saw the Cubano and immediately knew that's what I wanted. Even an average Cubano is a delicious sandwich, but this Cubano was well above average. The pork chop was amazing, the ham was great, and the cheese, mustard, and pickle ratios were perfect. I had to use willpower to keep from popping wood while eating the sandwich. I got a bowl of beef and cabbage soup for my side which was also quite good.

Gfted1 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Ive never eaten kale, what does it taste like? Lettuce? Spinach? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maedhros Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Ive never eaten kale, what does it taste like? Lettuce? Spinach? The texture is a bit different than those. It gives more resistance when you chew it. Tastewise it's hard to describe, it's slightly bitter. More similar to spinach than lettuce I'd say. I love kale, but it can be very hit and miss. I had a really good Pollock and kale dish the other day, with a butter/caper/lovage-sauce. So good, but the kale stole too much attention from the best parts of the dish. (Learned a few new english words by making this post. Pollock and Lovage, woop woop). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadySands Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Sorry, missed the kale question but Thingolfin's answer is pretty good. It's tougher or denser maybe I dunno a great way to describe it either and the taste is like some other greens but off slightly. Dunno if you eat a lot of other greens like collard or turnip but I'd say it's probably closer to mustard greens. It's also usually prepared differently and not cooked for as long and sometimes even served raw. Regarding Tabasco, I'm not a huge fan and am more partial to Red Devil or maybe some other Trappey's hot sauce but I've never tried any of those with chorizo so I'll have to give it a go.

Hurlshort Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I've spent my life using Bisquick for waffles and pancakes. Today we didn't have enough mix, so I decided to make waffles from scratch. I had no vanilla extract, so I subbed in some brown sugar and cinnamon to add sweetness. It came out amazing. I can't believe I went so long without making it from scratch, it was super easy.

Keyrock Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 I got a hankering for a chuckwagon sandwich, which worked out since I'm home for a few days and to the best of my knowledge the chuckwagon is a regional food item. At least I've never seen it outside of the western half of North Carolina and the very most eastern part of Tennessee, right by the Smokies. Has anyone ever seen a chuckwagon sandwich on a menu elsewhere?

LadyCrimson Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 The best thing about instant ramen (Nongshin's Shin Ramyun is the best) is still the fact you can add all kinds of things to it and make it your own (and don't forget, you don't have to use all of that flavor packet, which is too much salt anyway). Vegies, meats, whatever. I often put so many things into mine it makes for a giant bowl. On a rainy morning, it's also great as an easy warming comfort food I can slurp while staring out the window. 1 “Things are as they are.
