What are you Eating/Drinking?

[FoolKiller]

I had some ground venison so I decided to make some chili. I went to store and found this.

What the hell!

I ended up making hamburger stew. It's good, but not chili good.

And little did you know the homemade recipe for 2-alarm chili mix was just a click away. in my cooking thread.

Save your money.

Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart.

Curry that cost me about 60p.

Dude, you need chili mix to make chili? What kind of a Texan are you?

I thought I might catch hell for that. That kit has all the seasonings you need. It really does make great chili. It even has corn masa to thicken it up at the end.

I really don't make chili often enough to justify buying all of those ingredients.

Here is a pic from the last time I made it.

Big Booger brought home dinner. Didn't cost me a penny. I like that. H.Salt Fish and Chips. Haven't been there since I was a kid. Pretty good.

A kitchen without those ingredients is not a kitchen.

Those ingredients can also be made to make taco seasoning, steak seasoning, any kind of grilling seasoning, and basically anything you want to give a southwest flare to. Masa is the only odd one out, but you can use it to make corn tortillas.

But to each their own.


Tonight my wife decided to pick up from Wendy's. That limits what I can get, so it was a side salad that I added oil and vinegar to and a baked potato that I added low sodium chili and cheese to.

The side of the potato collapsed and spilled the chili and cheese out on to the plate.

Braised beef on horseradish mashed potatoes and vegetables. Sadly the Mai Tai wasn't as good as last nights.

It needs a funny umbrella.

This one had one!

It must be faulty. Return it for a refund immediately.

I am enjoying some Glenlivet Nadurra.

Now you're talking. Food is for the weak. This is all I need for sustenance.

I put in too much propolis in my kefir. Not good, not good at all (taste I mean).

Dinner last night was a grilled chicken Caesar salad.

 

[photonrider]

They were excellent, but more sweet than spicy. Hence the added pepperoncinis.

Breakfast was a banana. Don't know about dinner. Perhaps another Italian sammich. Big Booger never eats dinner here anymore. Little Booger usually eats after getting home from school. Dinners are becoming a rarity here.

Sweet pickles are my favourite with bread and butter, and I guess my eyes saw sweet instead of spicy. Corn beef on rye calls for spicy pickles, though.

Just finished this - chocolate cake and hot chocolate.

 

[TB]

Lunch was a loco moco - white rice topped with a hamburger patty, fried egg and brown gravy. Quite an interesting mix.

 

[FoolKiller]

Forgot to add this last night. Dinner was pork chops with green beans. Tonight was just salad.

 

[Boston77]

I ate one pound of bacon last night. 18 pieces of goodness. i have a problem

But not just any bacon. A very special corn cob smoked bacon from Vermont. Thank you Dakin Farms for over a century of making awesome grub!

 

[Joel]

Made some corn chowder and grilled cheese! Used a Jamie Oliver recipe but his was all pretentious healthy BS so I swapped skim milk for whole, added bacon, and cooked the onions in butter. I'll be damned if I eat skim milk corn chowder in France.

 

[photonrider]

Sauteed, lemon-drenched kale and curried chicken sprawled on a steaming bed of basmati.
All this talk of basmati brought it on I guess.
Damn subliminal seduction.

Now - on to the Valentine's Day dinner. More chocolates in the mix hopefully.

 

[Solid Lifters]

GF and I couldn't be together tonight, so we had Valentine's yesterday. Problem was, the reservations were made for today and had to cancel. Last minute plans thanks to her pa.

So, we wanted to go to Tacos el Paisa again, but we waited too late. They closed at 6PM. So, the only thing that looked good that was nearby was In 'N' Out. This gal is a keeper, IMO!

Had a Double Double Animal Style and Animal Fries. Dessert was Red Velvet Valentine's cake. Sorry, no pics. Might have one later when I have another slice today.

Brunch today was a banana.

Food is for the weak.

I've been saying that for 20 years. No one believes me.

 

[photonrider]

The problem is withdrawals is death.

Dessert?

Coffee and cookies.

 

[coryclifford]

The withdrawals do suck indeed. And not sleeping right. And the shakes and sweats. Watched Leaving Las Vegas the other night and was like, dang, I'm a serious lightweight! And wow is that a depressing movie.


Staying in tune with the thread, I had a few beers and a hard boiled egg and a Thomas English Muffin for brunch. Cheap hot sawsed em up. Sorry no close up pictures of my egg, or muffin.

 

[Omnis]

So I just found out about Nicko McBrain's restaurant Rock n Roll Ribs. It's right next to the house of a family friend. Apparently it's got some really amazing bbq. I'm gonna go take on their "The Beast" platter:

They also have an interesting hot dog:

It's huge, wrapped in bacon, and stuffed with pepper jack cheese lol.

 

[photonrider]

I used to think that Omnis was an anagram of Nismo - not any more.
It's short for omnivorous.

Dinner last night (and lunch today) was gyros.

Thawed some chicken drumsticks for dinner but not sure what I'm going to do with them.

 

[TB]

Finally at home and too tired to cook so pizza it is!

 

[Solid Lifters]

Dinner was a homemade Italian Combo sandwich and a piece of Red Velvet Valentine's Cake.

Never left home, so Thai it is!
