Screams huh? Little early for a haunted house so....um..............

Kids.


They're awesome. No... Really

I love kids. I'm just kind of selfish right now.

Rep, letting kids be kids and dogs be dogs, king of your castle!

I think FMB is giving us the stink eye, maybe time to leave the kitchen table.

Post of the day. Kids are awesome, and kids having fun is what makes life the best that it can be. Great job man.

Why? Because we were having dinner conversation at the table. It happens. :p

So, with the rainy cool weather, I decided to make some comfort food from scratch. Here's
a Chili Mac Casserole. I made a simple beef chili with beef, tomato soup, pinto beans, diced maters, onions, chili powder, corn meal, cumin, garlic, and a splash of vinegar.

Then I made mac and cheese by cooking the macaroni, and in a sauce pan, adding milk, sour cream, cheddar cheese, monterey jack cheese, and velveeta, and slowly stirred over low heat to make a killer cheese sauce.

I put the chili in the casserole dish, spooned the mac and cheese over it, then put some shredded cheddar over it all to bake, and brown up and crisp up. It was killer.

One more pic.

This is great and all, but how much is your electric bill?

(For realsies, that looks pretty tasty.)

Not sure I get this?

I need off this damn miserable user list already. Shit sucks balls. Whoever invented this should die in a ****ing firey aids tornado

Wife is gone with my son to church camp. Pizza rolls or microwave burritos. High class livin.

I'm tryin' to work for you, man.

You're gonna have to do some penance. I hope it's not permanent.

Do you promise to not be an asshat?

Lots of posts earlier all about non food shit, including electric bills.

ROFL LMAO :LOL:

Poor tooge. It wasn't you tooge it was something else happening in here before you came in.

yeah, guess I missed it. Not on here as much lately.

A thread on CP - derailed?

This is a brand new thing.

i love this dude's videos of cookin shiz

BBQ Chicken, roasted root vegetables, and fried green tomatoes. Delicous.

Hamburger and Aldi season fries.

London Broil in wine sauce, horseradish on side, sauteed fresh spinach with onions and garlic. I forgot to put the potatoes on the plate when I took the picture and ate the top of the salad before I remembered to shoot that too. Not my best plating but was rushed and first pic is a bit blurry too.

Meat was sliced thin, was tender and tasty though. I picked this meat up because my favorite, NY Strip was $15 a pound. Yikes!

Too hot and humid, like a sauna out there, to eat on the patio tonight. Phew!

Great looking stuff. Does your family ask why you are taking pictures of your food? LMAO

Caesar salad. Wife came home didn't like my food choices while she was away.

Yes! They think it's crazy.

X2 on shoe leather.

It's a trade secret.

Just kiddin' scho!
 

Honestly, I just winged it. I didn't know anything about preparing this cut of beef.

I considered the grill but didn't want to bother with that at the last minute. I looked up some online recipes and they all called for marinating it. Since it was a last minute purchase for Friday evening's dinner I didn't have the time to do bother with that.

So, I just rubbed olive oil on it, then poured about a third a cup of Cabernet Sauvignon wine over it and under it. Then rubbed it with fresh minced garlic, salt, cracked pepper and some savory and thyme. ( those were just a guess for me too) Put the meat in a pan and broiled it—BECAUSE it said London BROIL in the name!

For some reason, my oven turned off "broil" or I didn't notice I missed the second oven button for it, but don't know if that had anything to do with how it came out? Happened twice. Sometimes I don't pay attention that well when I am multi-tasking. So my oven was already warm being at 350°.

I added a tad more wine to the pan near the end as it tended to dry up, but not on the meat, plus some butter to make the sauce richer ( about a tablespoon) and blend with the meat juices. Then, I nearly forgot about it again, because it cooked pretty fast, so I grabbed my oven thermometer. It was at 125°. So I freaked a bit thinking I overcooked it as it would cook more once out of the oven. Was supposed to be removed at 115°. I took it out to set for 10 minutes. Voila! It came out perfect, sliced thinly with a large serrated knife on a diagonal against the grain. <----the latter part on how to cut is important.

It didn't have a big sear on the surface tho', just a little.

EDIT: I forgot that I also turned it over halfway to get both sides under the broiler.

Another thing that may have not turned my London Broil into shoe leather is I did not have my pan on the top oven rack under the broiler. It wasn't that close. It was a good 8" away on the mid rack.

Good work. I'd have served boot if I'd have winged it

Have a rack of pork baby back ribs and cheddar brats on the Traeger. That's for a late lunch, brats for dinner. We'll take our daughter swimming this afternoon.

Honey mustard pork tenderloin, egg plant, asparagus, and pineapple, all grilled.

:clap:

VERY NICE! I love me some porn tenderloin.

Well screw it, nobody's posted in a few days and FMB took his ball and went home. Chicken chimichangas for dinner.

this looks bomb as eff

Did you make that or take it out of a box to reheat?

We like to talk about how things get prepared too.

Looks yummy either way.

Jfc let the dude post his food without getting that critical...it was a frozen patio burrito by the way :)

Have eight chicken thighs brining in Italian dressing, in the fridge.

Smoked chicken thighs and smoked Mac & cheese for dinner.

Did FMB really bail? I've been busy and didn't read all that.

Yeah, it was really weird... He lost his mind a bit about what he thought was unequal moderation of the forum, calling out mods and demanding that they create a new universal moderation rulebook. Then Bob Dole caught him logging in with a mult account, and called him out on it. Nobody has seen him since.

As the planet turns...

Has he run off to start a new website to compete with cp? FatBoy.com?

Anybody have recommendations for knives? I need a couple nice cutting knives. Something that will slice raw meat without hesitation.

How would you know what Bob Dole caught? You discuss things with the mods or was it posted somewhere?

I think he'll be back. Just give it time to cool off. Imo he was a key contributor in the "What's for dinner" thread. I learned a lot from him.

About 5-10 pages back somewhere. Not sure exactly where.

I wasn't criticizing. I was asking cause I wanted to know. I said it looked "Yummy." This thread gets into how the food gets prepared. Learn to read before you post.

I thought everyone got to discuss things with the mods... Not surprised you get left out.


Oh and maybe you should take your own advice and learn to read, the post you quoted stated dole called FMB out on it.

It was a joke. See the second part of my post. I'm not a jerk all the time ;)

Yup. I had a private conference call with the mods on the issue. Figured every one did.

Thanks.

Wife cooked chicken thighs in the crockpot, I took some of those and shredded them in a bowl.

Heated a can of black beans in a separate pot and added a half can of tomatoes and green chilies and some taco seasoning.

Added the other half of the tomatoes and green chilies and some taco seasoning to the chicken.

When the black beans where done I mixed the beans and chicken together.

Made guacamole.

Placed chicken mixture on a tortilla, topped with cheese and guacamole and then rolled.

Placed on a sheet pan and brushed the tortilla all sides with butter, baked 350 degrees for 25 min, although I like to go a little longer.

Place on a bed of lettuce, top with sour cream and salsa and you have Buzz's oven fried chimichangas.

The chicken thighs on theTraeger were super tender, juicy .And full of flavor. The best I've ever made. The Italian dressing brine made it damn good.

The Mac and cheese was top notch. My wife couldn't stop eating it. It was loaded with Monterey Jack, medium sharp cheddar, bacon, and sour cream.

That actually sounds really easy and really good. We don't have a fryer so baking them is the only option. How crunchy do they come out?

That's why I like to let them go longer in the oven, moor crispy. I tried frying them in the cast iron, too greasy for me and didn't like the oil taste.

I have taken it a step further and topped with enchilada sauce, what's not to like with Mexican food.

Nice. Thanks for the recipe and it's not deep fried. I like that.

I thought it would be more difficult to make.

Well I thought I'd try this Lemon Asparagus soup with Parmesan but mine didn't come out as yellow as hers. I think it lacked something. She said you could put more lemon or parm in it. Think she did and I didn't. Plus hers looks thicker than mine and I did not strain all the pulp out like she did. I did add a splash of cold cream for decoration only.

Hot as hell here. So just had a cold chicken breast and a green salad with homemade lemon poppy seed dressing. This soup can be eaten hot or cold.

I hate soup.

In other news, hot here today too so I did similar to yours. Tilapia fillet topping red leaf lettuce, onions, tomatoes, olives and blue cheese crumbles.

I love it. Cold or hot. But my ginger carrot and homemade tomato are far superior to that one I just made...because the picture looked so good and I love lemons when it's hot.

And you had it after a swim in the pool like we did?

Love blue cheese.

From last night (forgot to post it until now). Chicken Bellagio: breaded chicken breast, prosciutto, angel hair pasta, pesto, Parmesan cream sauce, and arugula.

Tony's pizza LMAO

I win.

That's something I would love to eat! Especially the arugula. Gee! I've forgotten about that and haven't had it in a long while.

Nicely done, including the plating.

I haven't told you how awesome your food looks but I've always noticed it. This? I'm actually angry that I didn't get to eat this. Holy balls that looks amazing!

Salmon patties, peas and box mashed potatoes with cream of mushroom soup gravy. Wife made it, I ate it. :)

I'm lovin' it

Mmm. May be in my future. I'm totally due for some ghetto Macs.

You're better than that.

I was lazy tonight. I bought chicken enchiladas from a new little gourmet market that I just had to pop in the oven. Then opened a can of black beans, added some garlic, cumin and chopped onion. Boiled up some quinoa and added lime juice, garlic, scallions, leftover salsa that I was out of chips for, few more chopped grape olives, black olives and lime juice. The quinoa was very tasty per reports. I didn't bother with a picture either. Easy meal.

What is that claw-like thingy on the phone in the back?

In post #5986.

Watch the movie Aliens. It's a face sucker.

A what? I don't remember that. But I only saw one and it was a long time ago.

LMAO

I know. My first time being disgusting in years and years.

I run past McDonalds 4x a week and the grease is intoxicating. Finally caved after being persuaded by the $2.50 sign.

GROSS

Oh that's just my pet snake reggie.

Goat curry, spice level 5.

Burgers at some sit down restaurants can be pretty damn good but fast food burgers can be made easily at home and taste better like when cooked in a cast iron.

I forgive your egregious error.

I know. I just wanted a quick and cheap burger fix. Victim of advertising.

Thanks for your support!

Stroud's in OP. T'was good...

Do you own McDonalds?
