Yeah, they know more than you think. I belong to a site where I would guess the average age is 65+. It's a Vbullitin site like this but the later version and lots of advertising for non paying members. I think the most I've measured is 64 cookies while just signing in as a paid life member. Anyway with all that shlt going on it hiccoughs sometimes, and these guys get flummoxed. The standard advice is, ask your grandchild to fix it. :blush:

Chili-burger and chili-fires w/onions.

Columbia River Steelhead Trout.

A little EVOO, pan on med-low, fish in, lid on. After ten minutes or so, fish out, done nicely. A little dill, some smoked salt, a dijon-chipotle mayo (didn't have the patience to make a proper aioli). So damn good.

Fuuuuck yeeeww.

:p:

Yesterday was Johnsonville hot Italian Sausage with Spanish rice.

Today is the rest of those Eyetalian sausages, and Murkin aigs.

Gonna eat the last one like a burger, w/lettuce, tomato, mayo, and sauteed onions tonight for fourthmeal.






[muttering]Columbia River Steelhead Trout...I kinda popped a chub when I read that y'know.[/muttering]

Taco stuffed peppers with riced cauliflower and brown rice tomorrow. I need to decide if the brown rice fits or if I need another carbohydrate

It looked like this at the store. I asked the guy at the meat/seafood counter, are you *sure* this isn't salmon? I'd never seen orange fleshed trout before. Pale yellow, yeah. Not orange.

And I'm sure it came from a fuckin whopper like this. In the tray at the store, it fit, because they folded the thinner belly portion underneath to give it a nice, regular, rectangular shape. At home, when I opened it up, it didn't fit flat in my 13 inch Lodge cast iron skillet, it kinda surfed up the side a bit, less than an inch. It was probably a pound and a half.

Fuck me indeed.

Red Baron Special Deluxe

Finally have some food I made - Crispy Chicken Carnitas with Ancient Grain Pilaf and Veggies with homemade Dip :yum:

Strawberry Jell-O

I was making Jell-O at 7 am.

What's with all the Jell-O?

I like Jell-O.

Happy Union made with cauliflower

I think you misspelled onion.

:p:

Chili burgers. The burgers, cooked on the stove, chili was from a can:

The terms 'hot' and 'spicy' are used loosely here.

Ham salad on sourdough, with sharp cheddar, and Pico Pica Hot Sauce on it.

Ham salad - I haven't had that for years! My mom used to use an old hand grinder to make it. No pickles, though!

Boneless pork chop w/black eyed peas, the legume, not the band.

Chili/cheese tater tots:yum:

RFN, btw.

Bacon-wrapped, boneless pork chop, "Proudly [pre]Seasoned With Rib Lickers Big Hog Rub",

Attachment 61616

and a can of black-eyed peas with a can of potatoes added to them. To eat more country than black-eyed peas 'n' taters, you'd have to eat dirt.

That chop wasn't overly delicious (it was pretty good, that seasoning is pretty mild), but, at one point I cut off a bite with my fork, just to say I cut it with a fork.

That chop was an inch and 7/8s thick, and I cooked it for almost an hour at 350.

Today's lunch with a very old friend who I haven't seen nor spoken with in about 20 years.
Something about finding out he slept with my ex-wife back then was a little off-putting. We met today and buried the hatchet, so to speak. It was very ... what is the word? Relieving? I hold no more animosity toward him. Losing the negativity and letting the grudge go feels incredible.
Oh, I had a chicken taco salad at La Tolteca with extra sour cream and guac with a side of Yuengling. It was great.

Old friends are cool.

Most of my old friends are dead. They're, like, really cool. To the touch.

Today was beef Ramen, w/green, red, yellow bell peppers, onions, and last night's left over ribs from the bar.

Delish.

That's a busy bowl of noodles, Precious.

About ¾ pound of ground venison made into a hamburger steak, w/sauteed onions, fries.

It wasn't much to look at, but, dang it was good.:yum:

Boneless pork chops, sweet peas, and breadsticks.

Chicken salad and banana. Yummy!

Leftover veggie fritatta

Mickey D's I suppose. $.59 hamburgers, $.69 cheeseburgers on Wednesdays and Mondays, $1 any size drink...Hard to eat cheaper than that.

I'll grab a couple on the way to the bar.

Fresh Homemade Burratta - Thin layer of mozzarella filled with a cheese mixture topped with fresh herbs, olive oil, garlic

Bruschetta of the day - Made with fig spread, goat (I think) cheese, prosciutto, drizzled with balsamic vinegar

Michelangelo - (Sandwich on baguette) Prosciutto parma, fresh mozzarella, crisped pancetta, broccoli rabe, olive oil, roasted red pepper pesto

First two items were shared with a friend. The sandwich was all me. Fat and happy

You misspelled burrito.

:p:

I mean, it's cheese wrapped in cheese, so maybe that's the cheese spelling? :D:cool:

Stir fried pork, cucumber, and a runny fried egg over rice with fish sauce and sriracha.

An excellent way to celebrate the completion of my colonoscopy this morning.

Gyro, Greek Fries (feta,and a Greek sprinkle), and Turkish Coffee.

Greek fries are my FAVORITE!!

Ham steak, peas, and a bread stick.

Kohlrabi, salad turnips, and pecans with iced black cold press.

Rib-eye sammich!

What are you, in jail, or something?

:p:

That's what she feeds me anymore.

Isn't anyone gonna help that poor man?[/Blazing Saddles]:p:

Today was a damn busy bowl o' noodles. Chicken Ramen, left over sweet peas, left over pork stir-fry and a paper thin slice of a purple onion.

:yum:

Arsenic, regret and ashes. With a bowl of cold railroad ballast for dessert.

Luckily my lunch is much better - raddish salad and toasts!

I gotta tell ya, George, that sounds awful.:p:

:welcome: to The Cellar, btw.

I went out to get hummus to dip my chicken in with rice and veg on the side. When I got back to the office, I discovered my lunch was rotten. So, I only had hummus. Cry for me. :p:

We eat a LOT of chicken around here.

Even if I die of old age, I probably won't live long enough to actually want chicken again.

Ya got lucky.

90% of my diet is chicken. My ex used to start looking for feathers when he realized just how much chicken I eat. Now that I am looking to put on muscle, I try to get 5 ounces every time I eat it

If only fried chicken was healthy, I would be golden :rolleyes:

Oven fried is good and not as bad for you.

I've never been able to make oven fried taste as good as regular fried, unfortunately

Yeah, I was gonna say and it's not as good.

Nothing tastes good unless it's killing ya.

I made these for lunch

Quite tasty. I may experiment with the seasoning on the ground meat (turkey is kind of bland) and change the black soy sauce to oyster sauce for a different flavor than all soy.

Also known as a Blowfish...

Dollar Market shrimp and Dollar Market fries.

It was a Dollar Market day, Precious.

It's BBQ day today, hooray
Brisket and cole slaw are on their way
There's nothing else in life so sweet
As eating a hunk of slow-cooked meat

That's a damn good frozen pizza, Precious.:yum:

Thanks for the info!

Popcorn shrimp and tater tots

I might have mac and cheese :)

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The saddest little pizza you ever saw.
