Went to a Mexican restaurant and had a nice hot bowl of posole. Awesome stuff.

I like a bit of bacon fat with my scrambled eggs in the morning, so this week I got some bacon on sale 2/$5.00 to generate myself a nice cache of fat for the next couple weeks.

Cooked up 1600 calories worth of bacon and ended up eating it all. LMAO

Got the gurglin' farts coming out of my ass right now. Can't wait to see what slithers out of my ass on the morrow.

What? You don't want sticky rice for fried rice, you want fluffy, individual rice. Long grain is what you want, with scented rices (Basmati or Jasmine) preferred.

Seems easier to bake it on a cookie sheet.....comes out perfect....and you can do a whole pound

Got a killer deal on an 8 pack of chicken thighs, so since its a drizzly, overcast kinda day I think comfort food is in order.

Fried chicken thighs, mashed potatos, cream gravy and green beans with bacon and onion.

If it had been sunny today, I was considering throwing them in the crockpot with greek yogurt, cumin, allspice and a little garlic... but you can never go wrong with fried chicken.

Will be much drier and tougher, though.

Can I have your recipe for this one? I've never made my own pizza before and this is a good looking one!

I haven't, but I'm going too for sure. Thanks to everyone for the compliments! That recipe listed will feed like 8-12 Lol

It was the bean sprouts that sealed the deal for me, I wont eat at an asian joint that doesnt put them in their fried rice.

They have a very mild flavor, but its more about the contrasting texture crunch for me.

There's something about that specific crunch (and the sound it makes) that really turns me off to sprouts.

Subconsciously thinking of a bug, maybe?

I really have no idea. The flavor is fine - as you mentioned, it's very mild. But the crunch is just offputting to me.

Unrelated... I'm planning some kind of root vegetable and squash medley, thinking of roasting them. I've got carrots and parsnips, zucchini, yellow squash, and confetti eggplant. What do you think? Dress with olive oil, S&P, and roast until charred at 450?

Agreed! Ignore the food snob. :fire: **** YOU FMB, I JUST NOTICED IT!

OH, for crunch, I usually add some toasted cashews. Goes great in any fried rice, especially one without meat.
