Recipe from: Closet Cooking: Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies. In the recipe he actually makes candied bacon first, which ups the sweet/savory factor ^1000. |
Applewood smoked bacon, eggs, and a waffle with freshly ground and brewed coffee! Yum!

Penne pasta and andoulie sausage with garlic and basil: http://i872.photobucket.com/albums/a...od/FB-6202.jpg |
Holy crap that pasta looks so good! I am on a low carb diet right now too....
I hope nobody saw me lick my laptop. |
I don't know if they have this pasta brand in Canada, but I like it: PLUS Pasta with protein, Omega-3s and Fiber, from Barilla

Penne Pasta with Andouille Sausage
1 pkg Penne Pasta (though, any Pasta of choice would work)
1 pkg Trader Joe's Chicken Andouille Sausage pre-cooked (again any brand would be fine this package had 4 sausages in it) 4-6 cloves of garlic Pine nuts 3 tomatoes, diced sesame oil 1 lemon Basil Salt and pepper to taste Cook pasta according to package directions. Take 4-6 cloves of garlic, or more if you prefer, slice and add to skillet with about a tablespoon of olive oil. Saute till garlic begins to soften, then add pine nuts and continue cooking till pine nuts are browned and garlic is cooked. Pour over diced tomatoes in a bowl, squeeze one lemons worth of juice and drizzle with some toasted sesame oil. Add basil, fresh is my preference and I love a ton of basil. We didn't have any fresh so we used the frozen cubes. Two work well and the heat from the garlic and pine nuts seemed to melt the cubes fine. Salt and pepper to taste and toss and set aside to let flavors meld. Slice sausage, this is best if it is pre-cooked. I cut them at a diagonal. Place them in the same skillet that the garlic was cooked in and cook until sausage is heated and starting to brown, toss frequently. Once pasta is cooked, drain and return to pot. Mix in cooked sausage, and tomato mixture. Serve and enjoy! Some fresh grated Parmesan cheese and fresh ground black pepper is a delicious addition after it has been dished up. |
Just had a can of BumbleBee sardines in oil, with saltines crackers.
|
Thanks! I'm going to get the ingredients when I go shopping on Sunday.
|
Didn't have any ice cream in the house, so decided to make a devil's food cake from scratch. Topped it with maple glaze and coconut shavings. Entirely too fluffy, moist, flavorful, and sweet. Always satisfying when I can't stand to eat more than one piece.

Home made 'French Onion Soup' My wife is a good cook.

Hangover cure: Homemade wheat french toast with vanilla, freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon and some morningstar farms veggie snausages.
|
Hey, I had Morningstar Farms veggie snausages too this morning--and yes, we also call them snausages :lol:
It went with an over-easy egg, hash browns, a piece of toast, and a cup of Cafe Mam Tango, all courtesy of my wonderful husband. |
I just ate a sweet Asian pear ...drippy juicy sweet.

^^that made my mouth water.
Pears are my favorite fruit. ---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ---------- Oh - sorry... ...Parmesan Goldfish. Best flavor evar. |
Today was cheat day as far as what I eat.
I decided to make homemade tortillas today on a bit of a whim. Even though I tend to avoid bread products, there's something really fun about having tortillas around to just wrap anything in. About 45 minutes later, I had a batch of tortillas, but I realized that I had nothing to put in them. I checked the fridge and found some raw chicken, veggies, and the like, and decided to just to open-face fajitas. I started by mincing a white onion, half a jalapino (with about half the seeds), three cloves of garlic, and I put them in a pan with a little bit of leftover bacon grease. As I fried them up, I put in a few pinches of kosher salt, some black pepper, some red pepper, and a little bit of chili powder. I turned down the heat and cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and threw them in. Everything went better than expected. The chicken, onion, and jalapino stuff turned out really well balanced, but still quite spicy. I complimented it with some cheddar and a bit of sour cream. It's comfort food at it's best. I finished it off with a Dos Equis left over from Christmas Eve. I'll take pictures next time, I promise! im2smrt4u: that pork chop meal looks delicious! |

^^Dear God, that looks delicious.

For my brunch I just ate two pita pockets with a couple fat sardines in each, spread lightly with dijon mustard, topped off with plenty of hummus, and finally covered with a thin layer of Tassos Kalamata Bruschetta.
|
In case my two posts are merged, it is now 7:56 PM and for dinner I just ate a Peking duck roll for my appetizer and two sushi rolls; on left is the Bala Maki roll of spicy tuna inside & eel sashimi outside; on right is the Ichiban Maki roll of spicy tuna, avacado, tempura crunch inside & salmon sashimi outside. In front is tako seaweed salad and a slice of ginger soaked in soy sauce w/a lot of wasabi blended into it. This is after I ate about 2/3 of it.
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2.../sushi-1-1.jpg |
^^ Looks exotic to me. I've never eaten sushi...
Chocolate after breakfast... we always get so much chocolate at Christmas, I tend to eat them all up pretty fast. |
bagatelle,
where in Europe are you? Reason I ask is way before sushi became popular in the U.S. I was eating raw herring in the Netherlands, always served very fresh and with chopped onion at the places I was taken by my hosts. The herring was so tasty and buttery tender and smooth, I would say it's Dutch sushi :) |
MMMmmm...sushi!!!
Last night, it was one of my homemade pickled eggs: http://i872.photobucket.com/albums/a...ns/FB-6649.jpg http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/tilted-...kled-eggs.html This morning, just a Kashi granola bar...Not nearly as tasty...:( |
|
That bean thing looks great, im2. I would love that. And I've noted previous posts about your spicy pickled eggs, and your recipe, so now I need to get ass in gear and make some so I can taste 'em.

Im2
What is that "sauce" on the salmon? We love salmon I get it from COSTCO, I buy the pieces with herb butter (yeah I know...bad...but so good) How about what you "did" with that salmon...... Try the chicken soup from COSTCO...yum..... |
The sauce is the reduction in the first photo. Starkizzer should be able to give more detail as she made it.
I wanted to use that beer in something since it had become way too tart to drink but too expensive to pour out, so she came up with what you see above. |
The reduction was Lost Abbey Angels Share with some sugar, the juice from one orange, orange zest and a handful of dried cranberries. Cooked down until it thickened some.
|
The local market had a good deal on strawberries so I got a couple quart boxes. Tasty but not sweet enough for my taste today so I sprinkled sugar on quartered berries and let them sit for a couple hours. I just devoured the whole bowl full.

S just perfected the cooking technique for some amazing Mariano's Fresh market jalapeno & cheddar and philly cheese steak sausages...
Shallow-lipped cookie sheet with garlic and Stingo beer poured underneath for 15 minutes on each side at 400*, then crisped on the Foreman for 2 minutes. My mouth is on fire and I am so happy right now. :) |
Today was perfect breakfast food sunday.
Spinach bacon quiche, cheddar biscuits, and ghiradelli brownies to top it off, along with some coffee. I am stuffed. |
Falafel and tzatziki from the hippie co-op. Yum.
|
After the delicious beers, I got treated to escargot with mushrooms in garlic butter on toast, grouper Matanzas (grilled tomatoes, feta, basil, other herbs atop a piece of perfectly seasoned and broiled and pan-seared grouper, which was in turn atop a thin slice of lightly battered and pan fried eggplant), with mixed berry crepes filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with warm seasonal berries... and an espresso. I has a happy. :D

Tonight for dinner I made Asian-Inspired Chicken Soup. I added leeks and another clove of garlic, and it was delicious.
I served it over a little bit of yellow noodles, with 2T of chopped cilantro, sriracha sauce, and some extra soy sauce since it wasn't salty enough. I can't attach pictures in this thread, so you'll just have to imagine how yummmmmm-ohhhhh this one was. |
The last of my homemade chocolate pudding. I am going to have to make this again.

Awful picture, fabulous brunch.
Caprese benedict with scrambled eggs (I hate any other kind of egg). English muffin, slice of tomato, thin slice of mozzarella, eggs, and in house made pesto-hollandaise sauce. With the best damn bloody mary I've ever had. |
Tunafish.
|
Quote:
I am about to consume a substandard, but nonetheless reasonably okay given the circumstances, bagel. |
To me, tunafish indicates from a can, or cooked.
Tuna steak is sushi-grade, and more deliciouso. I think I should be eating something for dinner, but I really just want a nova bagel now. :/ |
Quote:
|
Rice Krispies and almond milk.
|
Ha!
I still think it sounds funny to say Tunafish. I think I am going to have some Baconmammal tonight for dinner. |
kellogs cornflakes
|
Hubby vetoed the benedict I wanted to make, so instead I made a leek-spinach-goat cheese tart. It turned out pretty nicely.
|
Black bean, mango, and avocado salsa + hummus + 12-grain toast
|
Fried Potatoes + Corned beef + sauerkraut + mushrooms + one bowl = Fun in the tummy
|
Eden, you motherfucking PWNED! that meal.....
|
rare steak pho.
happy tummy. |
Veggie curry w/ mushrooms, garlic, red peppers, green peas, yellow squash, and sun-dried tomatoes. Spooned over spicy white rice.
Cinn is hooked on curry now. Next up, curry lentels w/ veggies. Flat bread to go with it. |
What kind of curry? Indian? Japanese? Thai?
We've really been into Thai curries lately. I need to pick up some more curry pastes. Right now we have red, green, and massaman in the fridge. If I weren't out of carrots, I would totally make curry for dinner. |
Indian red curry from a paste. Went to the asian market friday and picked up some items.
Cooked the paste in veggie oil for a few minutes, added coconut milk (1 can 13.5oz) and added all the veggies. Brought it to a boil and turned it down to simmer. Cooked white rice with curry powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and salt. |
Making Thai curry from scratch is pretty easy, especially if you have a food processor.
I make big batches of red and green pastes and then freeze them. |
I think it's probably easier to get the Asian ingredients you need for a Thai curry where you are :) Galangal is a little harder to find where I am.
|
Galangal can be tricky here at times as well. I just substitute with ginger. It's close enough.
When I do find galangal, I buy lots and freeze it. It keeps well. |
