Breakfast: Bread with bio apple-cherry jam + a bio kiwi from NZ + some water.

Then:

A bio multi fruit juice (strawberry juice, black currant juice, raspberry juice, rose hip juice, elderberry juice) with 10 cl of kombucha biodynamic.

Now:

Waiting for my green tea to cool off

Lunch:

An American Hamburger with vegetables and hannibal sauce and a cheese soufflé thing on top of it. Mmmmmmm


:)
 
A banana.

Beef tenderloin roast stuffed with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions and Gorgonzola cheese. Sides were carrots and roasted red potato cubes. (The oozing cheese sauce from the roast coated both the carrots and potatoes nicely). All enjoyed with a half filled sniffer of Smoking Loon cabby. Dessert was a homemade raspberry-grapefruit sorbet.

Bring on the lethal injection.
 
Well my dinner certainly wasn't as interesting as that.

I just had chicken with seasonings on it... with milk. Now i'm having a bagel with cream cheese.
 
A bowl of Fruit Loops, 2 english muffins, an apple, a glass of OJ and a big black cup of coffee.

Needless to say I enjoy my breakfast.
 
The Woman made dinner today. So, I made myself a sandwich on French bread with ham and cheese with butter. Now, I'm eating dessert. Starbucks Coffee ice cream 'Mud Pie.' It's coffee ice cream with fudge chunks and pieces of Oreo cookies. It's been one of those days, so I needed it.
 
I'm eating the left over eggo cereal (you know, just doesn't quite make a bowl, so it stays there for three weeks) dry because its 3:00 in the morning, and its all i could find.

I hate when there's a bunch of unopened snacks in the pantry, but i can't eat them because i don't know if they're being saved or not. My family purposely does this though because they know if something is opened, its going to be gone when they wake up in the morning :D
 
Water. Lots of water. I made the mistake of putting down for a late meal at college because I was busy, and it wasn't the wisest of ideas. I'm not entirely sure what it was (it said Lamb, but I've learned not to trust the catering company), but I suppose it's better than nothing. I can't walk into my exam tomorrow on an empty stomach ...
 
swiss cheese:indiff: , tortilla chips:) , root beer(yes at 1 freaking AM:dopey:!), a weird looking but good tasting tomato(no, it wasn't heirloom. i think it was... kumato????:nervous: )
 
BUMP

We had great weather today, so it was swimming and dinner out back and that means... IT'S BBQ TIME!

We had BBQued smoked cheddar cheese quesadillas. No fooling. They were awesome. Ever had a BBQued quesadilla? You should!

First, I prepared the homemade chipotle sauce. You take chipotle chilies and rehydrate them in hot water. Once they're hydrated, blend them in a blender with salt, a dash of vinegar, sugar, fresh cracked black pepper, dash of lime juice and a bit of water on a high setting. Cook the sauce for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce thickens. You can even make the chipotle chilies, like I do, at home. Buy red jalapeños (yes, chipotle chilies are actually jalapeños). Cut the tops off and cut them in half length wise. Put them in your smoker for 5 hours with smoke, and 2 more without smoke. Let them dry for two days on the window pane in direct sunlight for two or three days. Store when completely dried. Chipotle chilies are actually smoked, dried jalapeños.

Don't have a smoker? Build one. Purchase two non-glazed clay terra cotta planters with about 17 to 18 inch diameter. Place bottom planter on three bricks to allow air flow through the bottom hole. Insert a 1,000 watt electric burner (check Walgreen's; $8-$10) on the bottom and run the AC cord through the hole. Plug her in and turn it on high. Place a heavy pie pan with some smoking chips or hardwood chunks (mesquite, hickory, peach, oak, cherry, apple woods work best) on top of the burner (don't use thin aluminum pie pans! Stainless steel cake pans work great, too). Place a replacement Weber-style grill grate inside the bottom planter. It should rest about two inches from the top lip of the planter. Place inverted second planter on top and add a BBQ thermometer in the top planter hole. And there you have it, a $50-$60 terra cotta smoker that can smoke anything from Pork Butts, fatties, briskets, ribs, chickens, turkeys, etc. Plus, chilies and cheddar cheese, of course.

So, I smoked my own jalapeños, my own cheddar cheese for this meal. Not bad, uh? I laid a tortilla down on the BBQ and poured on some home-smoked, home-shredded store bought aged cheddar cheese. Once it started to get crispy, I folded them in half. Grilled for about three or four minutes on each side (close the BBQ lid when doing this. It makes the food more 'smokey' and melts the cheese quicker.) I had my homemade chipotle sauce and sour cream for dippin' along with some fresh diced tomatoes, onions and cilantro. One of my boys, whose identity will remain hidden, wanted BBQ sauce and ketchup. OK, whatever.

Drinks were milk, homemade lemonade or lemon iced tea. Fantastic meal outdoors, next to the pool with family and dog on a hot summer night with the radio blasting. 👍
 
Ugh I just had a Kebab, I don't know how on earth you Brits eat this stuff without feeling like hell.
 
lol, im about to make myself a fish burger, just a bit of fish, some coleslaw, Cheese and some sweet chili sauce.

Quick and easy lol.
 
Perfect BBQ weather. We had hot dogs, trout, corn on the cob and the only thing not BBQued, rice.

Wednesday, we say good-bye to my Aunt from Holland by preparing a BBQued chicken dinner for her. You have not lived on this Earth until you've had REAL BBQued chicken. That means, charcoal set really low, with hickory and mesquite wood chunks added for a true smoked flavor, cooked at 260 to 300 degrees for a long smoking/cooking time so the hickory and mesquite smoke can really do it's thing.
 
As a Kansas City Native, being in North Dakota until Christmas Break makes me long for my Barbecue. Solid, reading your post is making me drool. I'll remember the smoker trick next year when I hopefully get an apartment. 👍

Anyway, due to the dormitory rules for no hot plates, I'm having Hill Bros. Instant Cappuccino. :) Not the best by any means, bu not at all bad. Although I don't care for the plastic cups I'm stuck with. I've been living off of dry Ramen and Nature Valley granola bars lately, thanks to a 15 meal/week plan.
 
BBQ is awesome, but here in Michigan our BBQ isn't anything nearly as good as it is in other parts of the country. Although there are some decent places to get some pulled pork around my town.
