PK htiw klaw eriF Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Avocado is best so long as you can afford it, but in many cases it's too expensive for my budget unless it's on sale at Sprouts. In terms of price and storage canola is likely going to beat out the other options for neutral oil. Future in-laws are here so it's baba ghanoush, tabouli, and lamb tonight.

Hurlshort Posted May 19, 2019 Posted May 19, 2019 I typically have three different versions of olive oil, and use them differently depending on how much of the flavor I am looking to get out of the oil.

Hurlshort Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 I'm thinking about changing my diet. I go pretty heavy on carbs at this point, and I'm thinking I'd like to reverse that. Nothing too crazy, but I think a medium carb diet and more protein will help me with my endurance training and alleviate some digestive issues I've had with training and racing. Of course, it would help if I could resist some of these sugary snacks I'm always craving.

Gfted1 Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 Tonight we went to a local restaurant where your table has a circular hole in the middle and they place a bbq. The food comes raw and you sit there and grill it. Two were some cut of beef, I think one was beef tongue (which was really good) and one was a cut of meat called "mino", which it turns out is beef stomach. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"

I have eaten at similar restaurants like that where you grill your own food, its an amazing and very interactive way of eating Also well done for eating exotic food, most of my friends and family wont touch the off cuts like you tried. I love them because they have there own unique taste and sometimes texture. Anthony Bourdain convinced me about the value of eating unusual food. Anybody can eat or cook a steak, and there is nothing wrong with steak as I love it, but most people dont eat off cuts and will always miss out on that gastronomic experience Edited May 26, 2019 by BruceVC "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.

BruceVC Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Tonight Im making myself a form of bolognaise mince, its simple really. But its also very economical as I will have pasta for dinner but the left over mince I can either freeze and use it later or use it for sandwiches or other meals over the next 2-3 days. One has to be prudent with meals when you single... " waste not and want not " and all that Fry onions with garlic for 3-5 minutes until translucent Add mushrooms Add Mince and brown mince and make sure is par-cooked Add pasta sauce and reduce heat so mince can slowly, say 40 minutes Add mince to pasta once cooked 1 "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.

ShadySands Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Wife wants chicken marbella added to the regular meal rotation which is more of an idea than an actual rotation. Probably would not have considered making it or would have substituted prunes out if it wasn't for Gromnir's pot roast recipe. Ordered some black garlic on Amazon because it's too stinky to make and Safeway stopped carrying it. Supposedly some specialty markets around town might have some but I've no interest in driving out to Aurora. Free games updated 3/4/21
Gfted1 Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 I recently tried a whole, fried shrimp. Have you ever seen a soft shell crab that's battered and fried and eaten whole? Same thing. This was a complete shrimp that was lightly battered and fried (head, body, tail, exoskeleton, organs). I wasn't too jazzed about eating it but I didn't want to be a lil biatch in front of my hosts either, so down the hatch it went. Meh, tastes like a crunchier shrimp. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Keyrock Posted June 9, 2019 Author Posted June 9, 2019 Why are boiled peanuts so incredibly delicious? They're just peanuts that are boiled (potentially with cajun spices) and they are several orders of magnitude more delicious than either raw or roasted peanuts.

majestic Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 With a public holiday today this was a weekend full of indulgence. Or, in other words, unhealthy food for the win: Well and some take-out ribs from out local Italian place. Might sound weird, but they make them like pizza by throwing the ribs into the oven and burn them to a cinder. Well, kind of. 300+ degrees for a few minutes make them blackend on the outside and super juicy inside. Then they get a bit of sauce on top (a hot one in this case). Compared to the usual way of doing them with extended low temperature they stay a good deal chewier, and obviously there's no smoky flavor but it's full of pure Maillard bliss. Honestly, biting into these is as close to a tastegasm as you can come. 4 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Maedhros Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Went to a 1* Michelin restaurant named Renaa, and was not dissapointed. Warm service from beginning to end, including a guided tour of the hotel they recently moved in to. The dishes (of which there were around 20), were mostly based on Norwegian sea food. The wine pairings were sublime, and we even got some extra wines since the sommelier noticed that we were wine buffs. I feel like a lot of Michelin restaurants in Europe don't really deserve their star(s), but in this case more of them would be warranted. Edited August 1, 2019 by Maedhros 3
