March 2, 201312 yr Thank you, Eleni!! I just made 2 grilled cheese sandwiches with some fresh baby tomatoes.... SO GOOD. I think these were the best grilled cheese sandwiches I ever made. xD Also had some mayo and this spicy sauce with it.. (love dipping the sandwiches into sauce). And ice cold coca cola made the meal complete.
March 17, 201312 yr Had the best Thai food ever last night!! I had saté with pinda sauce, then I had pad thai with chicken, and for dessert I had banana in coconut milk + icecream It was SO good!!!
March 20, 201312 yr Dinner last night - Homemade tamales, black beans, fresh avocado and peach mango salsa
August 15, 201311 yr Been too long since we had this topic going on and the below inspired a comeback - British art student makes 12-course meal in a can -The first appetizer is a plate of local cheese, followed by ricotta ravioli, shiitake mushrooms, risotto made from wild leeks and French onion soup. For dessert, there’s a French canelé, crack pie and a hazelnut latte to wash it all down. Mmm anyone hungry yet?
August 16, 201311 yr Author Interesting even though it looks gross. That said, if on one of my trips through the woods (where I get lost), if provisions ran out for a few days and I couldn't find any grubs, I probably wouldn't turn up my nose . For some reason I can't help but imagine it proposing to a big SPAM can  .
August 16, 201311 yr ^^ That reminds me of Astronaut food; They are not good to eat but are given fancy names on their packaging. Â Astronaut freeze-dried ice cream is one of them.. Â Â I personally dislike Spam and find it gross. Â Kind of interesting tidbit about Spam: Â It and along with Coca-Cola, came to real prominence during the second world war and solidified its presence as an essential commodity. Â IIRC, it was packaged as 'Pink Luncheon Meat' and inserted in US Army rations (US Army was some 16 million or so strong so that's a lot of spam). Â In the Lend-lease program to the USSR, UK, liberated territories and China...countless Spam cans were delivered to the allies. Â Much of the USSR and the Ukraine were overrun by the German armies so there was great loss of farmland needed to feed the 35 million Soviet troops that needed cheap, preserved protein in their diet. Â So these government contracts (Lucky Strike cigarettes, Hersey, Wigley's, are others..) secured their long-lived culinary presence and global exposure until today.....
August 21, 201311 yr Today's Lunch: ~5 oz. of prime rib medium rare  + a little noodles & eggs.   Dinner: 1 1/2 lbs. of Buffalo wings + celery + a side of potato/macaroni salad + red onions+ cucumbers   http://postimg.org/gallery/1idmzu94/80e10d36/
August 22, 201311 yr ^ That lunch looks amazing!! (The wings too, but the steak wins it for me)  And, talking about meat I made this last saturday:     It's pork ribs, beef short ribs, and what it's called here 'entraña', which is the muscular part of the diaphragm. And various veggies my sis put on the grillÂ
September 3, 201311 yr Kind of a revelation:  I periodically eat Schchi.  It is Russian cabbage soup and the variations are endless (different spices, different meat bases (beef bone, beef, pork, shrimp, salmon, scallop, etc.: )        http://postimg.org/gallery/1jzb6upu/9ee4b3be/   Very nice meal.  I also like broccoli, although I prefer to steam them so they soften.  ^ That lunch looks amazing!! (The wings too, but the steak wins it for me)  And, talking about meat I made this last saturday:    It's pork ribs, beef short ribs, and what it's called here 'entraña', which is the muscular part of the diaphragm.

September 4, 201311 yr Keep this thread alive people...! Â It's good. Â Had chicken terayaki with soba noodles and vegetables (cabbages, carrot, broccoli) Â Â http://postimg.org/image/xvhevbmvb/f12edf64/ Â And have been eating this box of expensive looking and weird desert delicacies (a gift I got). Â It's a foreign and have no idea what it is. Â Â It's hard to even describe. Â It's like a thin, dainty danish ish crust with a mildly miky taste (but with very little oil and breaks apart when handled) with a chewy but non-sticky filling in the middle. Â The filling is really, really delicious (and addictive) and I have no idea what it is. Â It's like a mixture of non-sticky turkish delight with some sort of sweet bean/nut/nougat concoction yet I taste very little nut in it. Â It is also mildly sugared, mildly milky, and the natural taste of the substance is something I've not really experienced before. Â
September 13, 201311 yr I helped set up a birthday party recently, and among the food I bought were these beautiful, delicious cakes.  The mocha cake was especially good :(real picture:)    -------  Also, for the dishes I brought roast duck filets on top of cooked vegetables (soaked in duck juices) and barbecued pork:   ---  As of late, I've grown tired of chicken and beef so I've been eating a lot of swordfish  ---  Does anybody here like duck meat?  I'm kind of...mixed with it, just like I am with veal and pork.  It depends a lot on the preparation style.
September 15, 201311 yr Author I like ducks as pets, but to me their meat is kindof slimy. I do like swordfish though. Any other insect eaters here ? I had the 'fruit of the gods' or persimmons. This isn't mine, but I just thought this was a nice picture .  Â
