Made some surf and turf today. Great day outside. Steak with some shrimp, scallops, and onions over the top. Good meal.

What the hell? Good looking steak, shrimp, scallops. On a paper plate?

Haha. Lazy day, so no dishes being done. Paper plates in the backyard it was.

Grocery store fried chicken and mashed potatoes/gravy with leftover chinese food joint hot sauce... yeeeah mfer, ya'll know your jealous.

I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE.

Breakfast burritos for dinner.

Winner!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Steak has to be on a plate. Nothing worse than cutting a steak through paper plates.



Food looks great though. Never did a surf and turf

It was cut on a cutting board then it was plated. Cutting on paper plates is a big pain in the ass for sure!

lmao I didn't see that it was pre-sliced, why can't I be this smart. I fail at life.

I'm grilling hamburger and hot dogs tonight. Served with applesauce and your choice of doritor nacho cheese or kettle cooked salt and vinegar chips, plus applesauce. I'm drunk, so that's as far up the culinary ladder as I can climb.

That's definitely ambitious. I finally got my cold smoke attachment after being backordered for just this side of forever. I got it seasoned and was going to run it, but I've got too much shit going on. Hopefully I can get it going tomorrow.

I did grill up some hotlinks and picked up some super fancy ballpark hotdogs, and godDAMN if they weren't worth the money.

Good looking eats, men.

I bailed on the mozzarella this weekend, and putting off the tikka masala till tomorrow. I ended up shooting a bunch of pictures today instead.

Little early to be drunk, what time did you start? I just realized I've only had two beers.

Its not early to be drunk if you gotta be up at 6...

I get up at 6:30 on weekdays, I'll be in bed by 10:30 or 11.

Your bedtime hours are exactly like mine, thats why if I decide to drink on a workday... it starts as early as possible, so I can get to bed with plenty of time to get well.

We're not in our twenties anymore, gotta get that sleep to feel right and get the job done.

Shit fellas, I get to the shop most mornings by 610, lets me get shit done and be left alone. I try to make it to bed by midnight. I sleep in a little on Sunday mornings .

I'm watching Food Paradise right now and I want a Juicy Lucy right ****ing now.

I saw that earlier. Lol

Been watching food shows all afternoon, Avengers is on FX.

Did you catch the $1,000 pizza? That's absoluetly crazy.

Everyone is different, I can live on that schedule, its only an hour difference... but I've always found that the more I sleep, the better I feel the next day after imbibing.

Now you? you're the owner of the business, so if you happen to be a wee bit bleary eyed and slow early on, its no big deal... those of us working for "the man" dont have that luxury, most bosses dont hold their employees to the same standard they do themselves.

Boss - "I'm a tad hungover, deal with it".

Employee - "I'm a bit hungover, better not show it".

Last night I cooked a Pork Tenderloin with a simple dry rub of onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt and pepper. I cooked the tenderloin for about 22 minutes in a stainless skillet in a preheated oven at 450 degrees for the first 15 minutes then turned it over for the last 7 minutes. It came out great.

I also made fresh Green Beans Szechuan style in my wok with soy sauce, lots of minced garlic, pepper, and lastly hot chili sesame oil. It gives the dish some great heat that subtly pops out. I did the same flavoring for the red and orange peppers and white onions I stir fried.

Once the pork rested, I cut large pieces and then recombined with the pepper and onion mix in the wok to finish.

Lastly I had wide egg noodles with butter, salt and pepper finished with grated parmesan cheese.

Also had a Flying Dog Raging Bitch IPA while cooking and then a glass of white wine when eating.

One of the best meals I ever made! :p

I NEED A QUICK "ASIAN" RECIPE FOR A POT LUCK ON THURSDAY. IT CAN BE ANYTHING. JUST NEEDS TO BE EASY SINCE I DON'T WANT TO COOK A TON ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

You get nothing for typing in caps like that. You sonofabitch.

Tonight is meatloaf and sweet potatoes. Easy as can be. I'm just in it for the meatloaf sandwiches.

I was yelling at my wife in real life and it transferred over to the internet.

Sorry.

Spaghetti bread.

Too late for apologies.

What, did you PIIHB "on accident"?

Why not try a nice cold noodle salad with sesame oil, peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger, cilantro, scallions, soba or spaghetti noodle, red and yellow pepper strips, sesame seeds, rice wine vinegar. :hmmm:

I make something like this, using top ramen noodles.

http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/spic...s-with-chicken

Make some type of orange sauce with chicken stock, orange juice, soy sauce, garlic and ginger powders, then thicken with corn starch. Serve with chicken and white rice.

Panera Bread added two new broth bowls, one with with soba noodles, including many of these ingredients that looks delicious. You travel for work right? Saw it last week and this past weekend in at a Panera in Omaha. I had the lentil-quinoa one cause their soba had wheat in them. It was awesome for lunch.

I'm on the road in my vehicle all over VA, DC, and MD with occasional trips to NJ, NC, WV.

I have a Panera directly across the street from my townhome. I love their food

I'm going to do Teriyaki boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Not sure if I should sear them on both sides the night before, then finish in the oven the next day at work for pot luck? Or just do it all in oven the day of the pot luck?

I made a veggie pizza for dinner: zucchini, red pepper, purple onion and spinach. No pics....too hungry to get it out.

I threw a quick marinade on some chuck eyes and pan seared. With some sautéed button mushrooms.

oh wow

Pulled pork sandwiches, zardas baked beans, and potato salad. Yuuuuuuuuuuuum!

I had the two dueling lobsters are Red Lobster!


http://www.redlobster.com/assets/ima...ster-tails.jpg

Lol that's my every day schedule. Not just drinking.

I saw that large thing on the left once in the Gremlins movie. I have a feeling you'll have something emerge from your abdomen tonight. Good luck.

I can't stand Red Lobster. Well, technically I've only been there once. My first experience wasn't what I was expecting, total letdown. I can make the cheesy biscuits at home so there's no reason to go back now lol.

Yeah it was something like that. Good wasn't great either

All I can say is, being a New Englander in Florida it's hard to find one of those sea food shacks or something not a chain here. Most places here are stinkin' chains. Sooooooooooooo....it's hard to 'eff up a Maine lobster. It was just as good though. Service was great! I got a hankering for this entree when I saw the commercials last night on TV.

I can't eat the cheesy biscuits though. I have to make those at home.

Uh okay. I'll let ya' know too.LMAO

Hit up a Mexican joint, they know how to do seafood. Not sure about lobster though lol, that's too fancy for them. Theyll probably have tilapia or cat fish lol

No really good Mexican places around here 'cept one. They don't have fish that I recall. Down by the beach has some good fish tacos but they were bought out and switched out the haddock for mahi and I hate mahi.

Excellent chicken recipe that'll smell up the house with deliciousness.

2 boneless skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup of your favorite salsa
1/2 packet of taco seasoning

Shred it up, eat it as a taco, burrito or whatever your preference may be.

In the crock pot?

Last night I did a real simple dish: sausage and onions with garlic cooked in Gates BBQ sauce on Martin's Potato rolls. Par-boiled the sausage for 5 minutes, then let cool down, cut into 1" chunks, sauteed onions and minced garlic, removed to bowl, then added the sausage back in pot to fry for 5 minutes, strained off all the grease and recombined everything then added Gates BBQ sauce and a dash of red pepper flakes, cooked a few minutes then had three sandwiches with Simply Lemonade.

THANKS GEORGE BLOWFISH FOR SENDING ME THE GATES BBQ SAUCE ALONG WITH OTHER TREATS!

Was tasty! :p

I am sure its tasty but looks like what monkey brains would look like straight out of skull.

More stringy

Yes. It's always better the next day too.

Tonight is a lesson in making something from nothing...

4 leftover pieces of garlic bread
3 leftover Johnsonville Italian sausages
1 can of diced tomato
1 handful leftover mozzarella

3 simple ingredients is all it takes to make a killer sammich.

The tomatoes are making a marinara right now, just a pinch of red pepper for zip, just a pinch of oregano for flavor and two tablespoons of sugar because canned tomatoes lose their natural sweetness, and marinara is slightly sweet anyway.

Boil the brats for ten minutes then pan grill in olive oil for the same to get some browning.

Toast the garlic bread on the griddle.

Split brat in half, top with marinara and cheese, put back on the griddle and put under the broiler until the cheese is perfectly melted... throw a few leftover pepperoncini and chips alongside it, and yeah... a pretty damn good treat from a bunch of leftover shit.

I can make a nice meal out of damn near anything if I have a few basic ingredients.

I had to stop on my 3 hour drive home for dinner. I stopped at Cody's Roadhouse and had my favorite meal there. Herb and onion encrusted salmon over rice pilaf with a sweet tater and salad. Only they never encrusted it with the onions this time. It was just bread crumbs. So I had to complain and ask for a redo. Still no encrusted onions but at least they put the bread crumbs on the side the second time. J, wtf? Never had that happen there before.

How long?

What's for dinner? Here's mine... (Part 2)
 

3 hours on high or just when you can shred it with a fork. I don't like all it it completely shredded, some chunks here and there.

Inmem, what is the spicy shrimp dish you get at Mexican restaurants sometimes? I know you posted a picture and talked about it but can't find it or remember the name.

Shrimp ala Diabla.


Amazing stuff

Does it come out tender on high?

Less time it'll be fine.

There's no temperature difference in slow cookers between low and high, only how long it takes to get to temp. At least that's what ATK says.

Interesting! I didn't know that at all. Thanks. And thanks to inmem as well.

Yes that's it! I couldn't remember the name but a few weeks ago we were out for Mexican and I was pretty sure that was it so I ordered it. Awesome recommendation! I've never had that and it was spicy but good. I was sweating a bit as I ate it. :D

It was so good I had to make it again. I love this kind of salsa, it gives it some heat and I really like the darker color it gives. Almost like a brown chile verde sauce. I'm using 1 packet of McCormick "hot" flavored taco seasoning.

I'm on a strict Salsa Tatemada kick right now. The green tomatoes, fire roasted peppers and onions has the best taste of any salsa out there. Just love it. I urge anyone not aware to give it a shot.

I didn't do the chicken tikka masala last weekend, so doing it today. Make a few change ups, including smoked paprika and I took my blow torch and charred the outside of the yogurt marinated chicken.

This is very similar to what you're describing. The heat is perfect, has a little kick, but not too much. I like most of my foods spicy anyways, helps speed up metabolism as well.

Why? Lock in the juices or something?

If you give me your recipe I'll take a stab.

No, just gives a nice smokiness to the recipe. This is a different version than the Cook's Illustrated one I usually do, and they start with marinating the chicken in yogurt, then cooking under the broiler to char it. I'm doing the same thing, except a lot quicker so I don't cook the chicken.

This is the base recipe. I do recommend taking the time to do the optional directions - cooking the onion, blooming the spices, marinating the chicken.

What's for dinner? Here's mine... (Part 2)
 

Really tasty. Clay, would probably even work with your frozen chicken.

Needs some texture. Thinking about pulling a play from Massaman chicken and adding some cashews.

Dinner for mama on Saturday night was my Cioppino (seafood stew) served in a sourdough bread bowl I actually poured more of the soupy base over the bread bowl after the picture, but it didn't show all the seafood in there (littleneck clams, lobster, shrimp, scallops, cod, and crab legs).

Then last night it was quite a bit lighter, with a kale soup. It's garnished with kale chips I made and a small bit of bacon.

both were great, but I'm not so good with pics

Love Cioppino. Haven't had it since I moved though.

Look what I found!!!

http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...0be35074d4.jpg

Never heard of it. How do you make that?

You know what is savory, and delicious on a cold winter's day?

Nectar of the Gods

I'm heading to the bar for dinner,naked wings with celery and ranch washed down with some Crown on the rocks.Perfect low carb meal. :D

I've never actually found it before. I stopped by the Atlanta Whole Foods this afternoon before heading back home and there it was. I bought a couple bottles.
