My mom introduced me to that, it's awesome.

Made some more of that Jamie Oliver spanish-style chicken, only with stuffing. Lemon slices under the skin, whole lemon + onion + parsley + herbs inside, pepper salami on top (no chorizo ). Garnished w/ gremolata, potatoes boiled first then roasted in same tray. It was pretty great, though I saved most of it for the next day.

OHHH. Lemon slices under the skin...have to try that... Looks great!

Made epic tacos tonight. Even the kids ate without grousing. UK Red Cheddar for the cheese, made fresh guacamole, did the whole deal. Washed it down with an Anchor Steam Liberty Ale, which I'll post about shortly in the WDYB thread. Good night!

Did a sort of "street food" themed bbq yesterday:

And random, but while shopping there were some fresh crawfish on sale so I was like HEY why not crawfish boil?!

Here's the oxtail stew I mentioned a few days back :X

Six people (older sister and I invited the boyfriends). But yeah, I kind of tend to cook too much food. Grew up with a big family. I've definitely found it hard to hold back now that rodi's in the army and homemademilk's in college. :/

I had frog legs in Texas. It's such a cliche phrase but they really do taste like chicken lol

I'm eating what was left over of a Steak and Cheese sandwich I had for lunch. Just steak, aged cheese (not even sure what but its flavorful) on a giant chunk of fresh baked italian bread.

Had a bacon cheese burger from 5 guys for lunch.

No point nauseating yourself in the name of nutrition. Chop up a bit and throw it in a big stew or curry and you'll never know it was in there. Or do what i do, being Richie Rich

Eric P · « **Reply #211 on:** October 21, 2011, 10:06:57 PM »

yeah this was a first time try. the curry idea is a good one though. i am due for some lamb curry and cauliflower rice soon

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #212 on:** October 21, 2011, 10:08:34 PM »

cauliflower rice was super-disappointing when i tried it. I just eat moar curry. Not that a bit of rice now and then is gonna kill you or anything.

Cormacaroni · « **Reply #213 on:** October 21, 2011, 10:13:38 PM »

Put this on twitter last night, people seemed freaked out at how little it cost/how easy it was to throw together. Just some store-bought smoked duck, crisped up in a pan. For some reason, duck breast costs only a little more than chicken here, YMMV. Not as

as you might think. Omelette with some nice Roquefort (blue cheese) inside, some stuffed olives and a tomato, boom. Just a light dinner for a no-workout day.

The remains of that chicken:

This is mostly the wings/legs/underside of the chicken so I stuck it all in the oven to get the skin nice and crispy, that's it. Fresh gremolata does wonders to liven up leftovers. All the bones went into stock the next day.

David Guetta's

djmag victory?

I had Philipino food for the first time yesterday... got lumpia (eggrolls, very similar to Chinese or Thai eggrolls), my main meal was goat meat and assorted other stuff (peppers, onions, olives, chickpeas) stewed in a sweet sauce. Was pretty good! My friend got tripe in watery peanut sauce, that I didn't think was that great though. Seems like a very hit-or-miss cuisine, but I'll have to try some more stuff!

Kimchi tacos! I was going to get the kimchiCheesesteak but they had run out of bread 15 minutes earlier.

chronovore · « **Reply #217 on:** October 22, 2011, 08:48:48 AM »

My bro-in-law went to a region famous for tonkotsu ramen, so he brought me back some ready-to-boil noodles and soup. I grabbed some greens, garlic sprouts, enoki mushrooms, and think-sliced pork "bara" to saute and drop on top of the finished ramen.

I should have taken pictures, but my kids inhaled it.

It's not even close. Five Guys has better burgers and better fries. I'm not saying they're the best ever, but if we're just talking burger chains then Five Guys is near the top.

In-N-Out Burger felt almost exactly like McDonalds, but with nothing on the menu but three slight variation of the same burger. And their fries weren't even as good as McDonalds.

chronovore · « **Reply #221 on:** October 23, 2011, 08:41:56 PM »

COME AT ME, BRO!

I miss In-N-Out. Japan is full of McDonalds and, as a guy who eats In-N-Out whenever he's back in the States, I can say with certainty that it is not the same.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #222 on:** October 23, 2011, 08:54:03 PM »

I'd actually rather eat at McDonalds than In-N-Out Burger.

chronovore · « **Reply #223 on:** October 23, 2011, 08:58:22 PM »

Well, in contrast, now I can't wait for an opportunity to try Five Guys. It must be epic.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #224 on:** October 23, 2011, 09:03:32 PM »

They've got really good burgers and fries, bit on the pricey side but I think it's worth it for that extra step in quality. Doesn't compare to the top-tier local joints, but that's the case for anything.

Five Guys picked up the top vote for fast-food burgers for the past two years, by the way:

I had a 'Chef's Choice'(

i've been on a bit of a baking kick recently.
made some amazing jamaican ginger bread cupcakes with rum & crystallised ginger icing for my sister's birthday.
then i made a banana cake with chocolate icing and filled with peanut butter frosting.
this is a habit i should stick to. much like smoking.
taking photos of the food i make is one i should pick up.

in related news i scored ~10L of amazing bacon, red wine & tomato pasta sauce from work and froze it all down.
sorted for a week or so given the rate i've been eating it.
