Awesome!

Can I send you a grocery store of your choice food card?

Thanksgiving again!

Velvety Pumpkin Bisque
Turkey Dinner
Pecan Pie & Ice Cream

Last night I tried something completely new. I took three center cut boneless loin chops and decided to do a curried coconut milk sauce to saute them in.

I first browned them on each side for 3-4 minutes. Then I turned down the heat and added some minced garlic to the pan with a little oil and butter. Once browned I added the coconut milk mixture I created. It was one can of coconut milk, about 2-3 tablespoons of yellow curry powder, one teaspoon of turmeric, some onion powder, chili powder, and a little sesame oil. I whisked it all together then poured it into the pan on low heat. Added the pork chops back in and cooked for about 12-14 minutes.

I also did steak fries in cast iron pot that came out super crispy on the outside and light inside. Lastly did a bagged salad mix.

The flavor was incredible and I even impressed my GF. :D

Nice. Sounds good!

This sounded better than it turned out. Overly sweet, not awesome. It was decidedly meh.

You have a great spread there....

The food sounds good, too.

That ravioli sounds like a dessert/pasta fusion deal after reading the description.

Nah, pumpkin, squash, etc. are used in savory recipes all the time. I've had a sweet potato/sage/wild mushroom ravioli that was outstanding and not sweet at all.

What are those square colorful things under your post?

Uhm wut? You mean my photos? Are they not showing the image?

That's it! Photos! I'm just not used to seeing them with your food posts. ;)

Ohhhhh! *hits side of head* I get it now. :)

I'm not used to it either. They're kind of a pain to take, making everyone wait and all while I position things just so, then uploading.

Those were leftovers. I just left the table set up and repositioned and plated the food for the shot. Only one person to feed then.

My plating skills are horrible. I just take a quick shot of the plate on the kitchen counter and upload them later. You're table looks very nice though.

It only looks good...much of it is glued together for the shot!

I bought a gourmet pumpkin pasta sauce. Saving it as a Xmas prez.

Well, it better look good. It's what I do for a living and I have styled a lot of photoshoots. Plating is very important to me though. I eat with my eyes first.

Oh, and thank you all.

[Oh mah Gawwwwd]

Why is my post quoted?

It's a meme.

Rick Ross: "I don't want no ravioli n***a. I eat pears now and shit like that. . . . shout out to all the pear"

Is that really him? Doesn't look like him at all!

Baby Lee, done lost his mind! LMAO

Bbq chicken, corn, red potatoes

My first ever trip to this place...

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...9aa7ba676d.jpg

I have to say, I don't really understand all the slobbering love fest that follows this place everywhere it opens.

Sure, it's a good burger and fries. But I'd take Five Guys and/or Smashburger over In & Out every day and twice on Sundays.

I looked it up. That's photoshopped.

Agreed on everything stated.

Yep

I have always said I have had many fast food burger much better. Because the folks out west say its best doesnt mean we have to play along.

Good God that looks like a did I or a should I

I should have posted a :D with my original post ... my bad.

For cripe sakes, use a flash or some decent lighting.

sorry, I don't bring my camera to restaurants LMAO

Never leave the house without your strap

Who the **** shit on your plate, homes?

five guys is over priced.. and we are talkin fast food burger here.. in n out > five guys. never had smash burger

I know what it is. It's probably delicious. But claynus manages to make it look like dog leavings.

And BTW, where the **** is the basmati?

anyone know of some good cooking books/youtube vids to sharpen thy skills?

mainly stove top cooking

Good Eats has entire seasons on youtube

I'm basing my judgment solely on the quality of the burger. Five Guys beats the pants off In-N-Out.

it's been awhile since i've had five guys... i'll have to retry it.

What's your opinion on Red Robbin? I used to be a fan of Moo-ya, but they were shit the last time I was there.

They make a fine burger, I just get overwhelmed by their options. I'm kind of a classic burger guy, so many of their options don't appeal to me. But what I've had there was fine.

Bleu Ribbon Burger. All you need to know.

Oh, and Campfire sauce with the fries.

I've only been to one In-N-Out. In Rockwall, TX. That was better than any of the 4 different 5 guys I've been to.

Culver's is my favorite, though.

I'd pay $50 for a Kobe burger.

I was just in Biloxi, MS and for some dumb reason we ended up at a 5-Guys where I got a bacon double cheese burger, regular fries and drink and it was $15.

I had been talking with friends in line, not paid attention (for content), and did a "the same as him" deal, and I ended up with a $14 lunch.

As with the 5-Guys here in Lee's Summit it was terrible. The joint seems to pride themselves in burgers that are so greasy they you feel sick for the rest of the day, and while they give you more fries than you ever really wanted, they too are so greasy you can only eat a few so you toss 60-70% of them like I did (and 3-4 bites of the burger).

I never really complain about the price of food since you're making a choice to pay it before you buy it, but I'll say this 5-Guys is way overpriced for the food they serve. It'll be a long time before I go back optionally. THEY are a great argument for McDonald's or Burger King, at least at the latter two you have a dollar menu you can choose from to feel sick the rest of the day.

But in the end the whole experience was my fault because I walked in, I picked the meal (without reading the menu board and doing a little math), I paid for it, then ate some of the shit they brought to the counter - I had options and I should have stopped/left at any point before putting that crap in my mouth. I lost in almost every way you can...

Wife is making coq au vin tonight.

Where did you get the rooster?

ATK recipe using chicken thighs. Old roosters are very tough to come by.

Picked up a bug in Biloxi, MS, so I'm just trying to change the taste of what I'm coughing up!

Yum.

I had the most awesome shrimp & grits last night. It was a very unusual version where the shrimp were in a bourbon maple sauce with bacon bits that was out-of-this-world. The grits were very creamy with cheese, but without a strong cheese taste. Just the creamiest thickest I think I ever had—not at all soupy.

The salad had real green leaves with cukes, tomatoes and a big pile of grated carrot and some red/purple onion. The dressing was a citrus poppy seed vinaigrette that was also out of this world.

My SO had fish and chips with a good thick white fish in the middle and not something buried and disguised in a thick batter. Green beans that maintained their green color, showing this place didn't serve over-cooked deficient veggies. The cole slaw was uber fresh too. So the place cooks healthy. I liked that.

I was nervous at first about what I would be getting as it was a casual place and new. I am definitely gonna have to go back there again.

I didn't bring my camera to this new restaurant as it was a spur of the moment decision to eat out after some surprise company here yesterday afternoon.

Love that.

I love me some indian food! :drool:

We have incredibly good Indian lunch buffets around here due to the large presence of Indian/Asian/Middle Eastern/Pakistani/Afghan in the population.

I'm not sure I've ever had it.

Chicken soup.

Need something for myself, my wife and our three daughters (twin 4 year olds and a 7 year old). The kids are ****ing picky.

Annnnnnnnnnnd go.

Spaghetti, salad, bread and fried taters

Corn dogs and tater tots

Pizza

Breakfast for dinner eggs, bacon, hash browns, b & g, toast

Late lunch today:

Mac n' Cheese. Go to Martha Stewart.com for her recipe.It'd awesome.

AMericas Test Kitchen is pretty good, IMO

for quick and easy you can do a no-boil lasagna.....just whip up some good meat sauce

(or simmer 2 jars of your favorite sauce with like 1 pound of meat, 1 pound of mild italian sausage , and a bunch of diced mushrooms and onions)

layer the noodles 'raw' alternating with sauce..followed by more noodles, but throw in some cottage cheese in each layer, with salt and pepper sprinkd up on that bitch


and put a thin layer of sauce on top.




bake that shit like 350 for 70-90 minutes till that shit bubbles and turns all golden and brown or read the box

when it comes out, sprinkle the **** out of it with mixed shredded white & orange cheese

and let that bitch rest a while

serve with salad for mom and dad

protip
during the hour that shit is baking clean the kitchen up a lil bit
do the dishes
hit the floor with a mop
pour your woman some wine


YOU GON GET YO DICK SUCKED MY NINJA



I love Barilla 'oven ready' but any no-boil will do homey

Cottage cheese in lasagne—eeeeeeeoooooooooooowwwww!

It's just as easy to toss in some ricotta. Just whip in an egg and some mozzarella and parm.

i dont like ricotta personally

i like cottage cheese much better, maybe you should try 1/2 and 1/2

Id rather do a mix of cottage cheese and something else than ricotta - like shredded jack/moz

seriously ricotta sucks...try a mixture of cottage cheese and shredded colby instead of ricotta next lasagna

you wont be sorry


* see even YOU admit you have to 'whip in egg and moz & parm' to make ricotta taste good....! try cottage some time., or a mix of cottage and colby..plus its a bit healthier as well

I agree. Cottage cheese in lasagna is nasty. Ricotta. And yes, I've tried cottage cheese in lasagna - I grew up eating it that way.

Though I never do "quick" lasagna, so if I'm going to do the work, I go all out and make a béchamel these days. Far, far superior to ricotta or cottage cheese.

I have no idea who the **** you are anymore.

truth hurts

ricotta is gross


go to a cheese store and buy some ricotta and just eat it some time

almost ANY other cheese you can buy at random tastes better

might as well be tofu

shit is gar

I know!! Lasagna is ****ing disgusting. Go to a pasta store, buy a package, and try to eat it. Brittle as **** and no flavor!!

LMAO LMAO ROFL
