What are you eating?

[SonicMan46]

BOY, this thread needs to be rejuvenated!     I'm sure that we all are eating quite well!

Today, Susan returned from our local seafood store and brought back some 'goodies', lump crabmeat from the NC coast, home-made crab & shrimp cakes (love the latter the most), a number of fish, AND some frog legs that we had tonight - just sauteed w/ oil/garlic - absolutely delicious - YES, taste like chicken but the frog leg bones are more delicate looking!  Just a veggie & some Pinot Gris from Oregon.

Well, forgot to take a pic, but kind of looked like the one below left, and reminded me of a funny cartoon!  Dave

I should probably not Post in this Thread.

I passionately hate food,... aaand the people who eat it!! Guuuh,... working in a grocery store really opened my eyes. Then there's GMO and our wonderful friend Monsanto, so we can't eat corn anymore.

Bread???,... have you SEEN the ingredient list???



I'm a pretty dandy chef,... errr, WAS,...



Anyhow, I'm just warning you that I found this Thread, and the whole Topic of 'Food' enrages me no end, and you know how I love to enrage myself each day by turning the computer and TV on,... oy vey.



So, my funny friend was going to make risotto with orso!! Yes, I was furious and laughing at the same time.

Then there was the time when I was young when I made 'Avocado Marinated Beef'. I'll let that one sink in...

Hey Snyprrr - why not start your own thread, like How to starve yourself the easy way! - or something similar?

Lately, I get oatmeal for breakfast, and maybe yogurt/applesauce/banana/granola/o.j. for lunch. Dinner,... not so much. Maybe I save all week to go for Indian lunch buffet once a month.


Once, I did not eat food OR drink anything for 10 DAYS!!! I'm just sayin'. It was horrible.

Heeey!!!!!

Guess what?!?!  I had unexpected cash and went and splurged on my favorite Crispy Beef from the Chinese joint. I'm not a vegetarian, I'm just poor as dirt here!!!!

2 1/2in. New York Strip? That's INCHES, not OUNCES!!!


But from living in Vienna I have a love of Weiner schnitzel, yum!!

Here, snypsss: have half an unsalted almond!

I could go for a plate of enchiladas...   mmm...

[Karl Henning]

Yer gonna hate this, snypsss, but last night we had some lovely stuffed portobello mushrooms.

I looove stuffed portobellos!.

Are you all assuming my palate??? I don't understand,... why would I hate portobellos? tell me tell me!!!!

two words: brussel sprouts!!! yukkkkkkkk


I like stuff that tastes good and doesn't have an unpalatable texture. Some say I'm picky. hmmm...

Everyone likes food that tastes good.    We had Surf and Turf last night. It tasted good 

Beef filet, medium rare, fresh asparagus, Pellkartoffeln (potatoes boiled in the skin, served with creamy Quark) and Prawns a la Mrs. Rock (marinated in ground coriander seeds and stems, sea salt, red and green chilis, honey, sesame oil and unsweetened pomegranate syrup; stir fry and deglaze with lime juice. Serve with fresh cilantro).  We drank a 2002 Château Pedesclaux (a fifth growth Pauillac).

What was wrong with containing your obviously ...err.... vividly enthusiastic  ramblings to the Haydn String Quartet thread?

Aside: Anything you don't like you have only yourself to blame for; not liking Brussels sprouts is like not liking Schumann. It's not unheard of, but it's not Schumann's fault.

Hint: peel them (which is a pain in the behind to do, but worth it), then blanch them properly (which is to say: very briefly). None of that cabbage-y flavor; no sogginess outside while being hard on the inside... just slightly crisp, perfectly evenly done, brightly green little leaves. Hint of Pancetta and optional walnuts... e voila.

Use cores that are left over from peeling process for masheds.

Grill or sauté them with butter and garlic. Something I finally learned to enjoy just last year. (Even old dogs etc.)

Friday, we traveled to Greensboro for an overnight (just 40 mins from home) to see a concert that night w/ Steve Martin & the Steep Canyon Rangers, plus Edie Brickell - stayed at one of our favorite hotels in the Triad, i.e. O'Henry Hotel which has the Green Valley Grill attached, our early dinner choice.

Dinner entrees come w/ a house salad w/ seasonal greens (always crisp & and a nice mix).  Susan had the Moroccan Scallop dish over risotto & some veggies; I had the 'catch of the day', a wonderfully grilled thick piece of Swordfish over a smoky flavored polenta & nicely steamed crunchy broccoli - along w/ a couple glasses of a 'house' Chablis (i.e. the real thing from France) which was surprisingly tasty.

We shared a dessert called the Nutty Irishman - a cake w/ alternating layers of chocolate cake & frozen Irish Bailey's Cream mousse, drizzled w/ dark chocolate sauce and covered w/ a crunchy mixture of nuts & toffee - the ONLY dessert that I insist on sharing equally w/ my wife -    Dave

Cheers, Bill, and happy Friday! We picked up a jar of a local orchard's boysenberry jam last week, and it is a minor miracle that the jar has not yet been finished  0:)

Last night, tried a new restaurant and simply had to try the weirdest item on the menu: pasta with beef brisket, butternut squash, and blue cheese. It was a delight!
