What are you Eating/Drinking?

[TB]

Some of these,

Dipped in this.

HOWEVER. As someone on an extreme low carb diet, I hate you, Ken.

I'll eat some for you, good buddy.

I know, I know. You're welcome. Don't mention it.

It's Taco Tuesday. I love Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Tacos but I only eat them when I have been drinking with friends and my diet restrictions are put on hold for the night. So, I decided to try my own version.

And I used them to make two of my tacos.

I think it needs more seasoning, but it did give a better flavor. It was just noticeable enough to know it tasted difference, but not identify the flavor.

 

[TB]

Gotta give that a try!

The chili was... just alright. Edible, but not great. Oh, well.

That's when they're the best.

The wife made homemade hashbrown casserole. Pretty darn good. It just needed to be browned a bit more.

Kernels Seasons Nacho Cheddar isn't quite Doritos flavored, likely due to the significantly less salt, but it is tasty on tortilla chips. I use it more for that than the intended popcorn.

Yes, but made of spelt.

We'd call it, over here, a 'ham on spelt.'
If the bread was rye, then: ham on rye.
Ham on whole wheat.
Ham on white.
Or: Ham and Cheese in a kaiser. That would mean a kaiser bun sliced and stuffed with ham, cheese, and the odd pickle and so on.
Or: Ham and cheese sub. That would mean a submarine bun sliced and stuffed with the dead pig and petrified milk and so on.

I had a huge bowl of comfort food - chicken soup with giant-sized pieces of meat and vegetable and crusty, warm and buttered bread buns. With a beer. Followed by lots of chocolate.
Coma.

The first person who chewed on some cacao beans and said, 'Hmm, good stuff, could make lotsa money from this' was a genius.

Read that as girl, thought I'd opened the Babe thread.

Aha! Freudian slip.

Chili is an art, TB. You probably know that. Takes lots of patience, the right ingredients, the right pot, condiments, heat . . .
But when you get it right . . . .

Heaven. In the washroom and out, too.

I think it's more about the beans than about getting the meat right.
AFAIK - there is a big ritual with the beans. We got to ask some guy from the place they live on chili . . . ..
Who could that be?

Yes, but made of spelt.

Ah, then it's still a sandwich, but spelt differently.

@FoolKiller, have you found any good cheese-sauce-making methods for your diet? I guess you have to stick with bechamel-based ones, right? Melting salts would seem to be out of the question.

Very confusing (for me). For future reference can you tell me exactly what this is?

Thin slices of this bread with jam or honey or slices of turkey is what I'm eating now.

Is that

* Turkey on spelt?

* Jam on spelt?

* Honey on spelt?

I had home made leek soup.

Spinach with chia seeds. I tried some left over sweet and sour sauce from yesterday with my Spinach and it wasn't that bad at all.

Usually we would leave out mentioning the trimmings and garnishes.

"Turkey on spelt," would do (people would garnish to taste.)

You would be correct, though, if you said:

"Had a turkey on spelt with jam and honey," editadded) if you had slices of turkey in between slices of spelt bread, and the turkey had jam and honey on it.

Not that you had a whole turkey - the indefinite article applies to the whole sandwich.

But if it was bacon, lettuce and tomato in the spelt then we would say "A spelt BLT."

Now you know why many cultures are protective of their language.
You can't have this sort of runaway dynamism in the language when it comes to German, French, or Italian - languages which are all tightly controlled by academies.

There are people who try to control the English language - by very dint of that thereby expressing their ignorance of it.

It's constantly evolving and will continue to do so.

Yes. I buy low sodium cheese and make my own béchamel based sauce, but usually I'll just toss it on something and melt it that way. Making sauce takes too long and is something I rarely do anyway.

I buy a cheese powder online that has about half the sodium of boxed mac n cheese, but only use it in entrees so it is still lower than something like a traditional ham and cheese sandwich.

[Meat] on [Bread type] is just a description of a sandwich. You wouldn't go to a restaurant and order a sandwich. There are so many. You'd ask for "Corned Beef on Rye". etc

Had a nice rib eye steak with some cooked spinach for dinner.

Seems that I still have a lot to learn >>> English language.

It's a language of metaphors, so metaphorical that even the simplest word becomes a metaphor for something or another somewhere or other and everybody thinks that one meant was what the other did but quite failing to understand that what was said was merely metaphorical, maybe even figurative, or waxed lyrical for purposes other than directly communicating what one actually means, which can get people into trouble because the meaning that is given, and taken, is only so far as the meaning that is known to all parties that are communicating with such English.

If you read that and said "I got hit for a six," I will understand perfectly.

First post here I think (can't recall) but I'm starting with a belter...

This is cooking now, shall be served with a mussel salad.

The foil is around the bones which, naturally, are wrapped in bacon!

All hail bacon

Hail to bacon!

Hail to bacon!

And on the 7th day Turismo did rest from creating courses, cars and B-Spec Bob... He rested to make bacon!

And in the presence of The Lord was the bacon consumed. And The Lord did smile and proclaim "where be the sauce...".
