    Dinner! 2003

    cheeseandchocolate, that's a great story about the baguette. torakris, the other day I laughed out loud picturing your hungry family lined up while you carefully take pictures of their dinner for this thread! EDIT: well, golly gee whillikers. That was my 1000th post. Bless you all. EDIT: also to say that for dinner tonight, I wanted the ol' filet and bearnaise gut-bomb. Settled for: hot-and-sour jumbo shrimp, stirfried served with stirfried walnuts and wilted watercress Basmati rice Beer Oranges
  2. "No bacon ever voluntarily reduces itself in size." Ronald Reagan.
  3. Yes, I did. There was also a thread, "Collective Food Diary," I believe, started by Kikujiro , where everyone (well, OK, not everyone) posted everything that they ate all day. I used to love that thread.
  4. Noodles. Braised garlic. EVOO. Parmigiano. Balsamic.
  5. Mmm. Extruded meat product.
  6. Admin: Threads merged. To bring this back up. I'm confused. MSG = umami. Is that correct? Do mushrooms have MSG in them? They taste like they do. I didn't know that MSG could be naturally-occuring until I read this thread. The only time I ever had a problem with the stuff was when adding it (very copiously) to a stir-fry at home, years ago, before I knew dick about cooking. My fingers swelled up and I had to remove all jewelry.
  7. No. It's not milk, and it's not eggs. Come to think of it, I don't know *what's* in my fridge all the time, but something is, and it usually ain't beer.
  8. Don't worry. A D.B.F. is on my shortlist of Shit to Buy. Right up there with toilet paper, milk, and eggs.
  9. But what are *you* going to drink then? Dude, I'm going to drink the other 25 cans that are sitting on the floor outside the fridge in the 30-pack cube. Fridge crowded! Just wanted Fritz to have cold beers.
  10. I'd win by three lengths. Try twenty below, Little Black Dress, snowstorm, pantyhose, high-heeled sandals. Smokers: Dumb but Strong. Yes. I have done this. Only I refuse to wear pantyhose. So no pantyhose for me.
  11. Good idea on salami. I am going to have a salami sandwich for dinner. The cat, however, will get none.
  12. That's the shit. Is that a good or bad thing? "The shit" = good thing.
  13. There are 5 cans of Old Style in my refrigerator, right now, awaiting Fritz Brenner's arrival tomorrow night.

    Dinner! 2003

    Made a garlic-rosemary oil and roasted some baby eggplants in it. Tossed with penne. Shaved Ricotta Salata. A little Parmigiano. Foccacia with caramelized onions. Dessert was (homemade, er, schoolmade) plum/blue/rasp/blackberry pie with streusel topping. The end of a bottle of weird wine that's been sitting around for a week.
  15. Hey, yeah, somebody please do this.

    What's for breakfast?

    Cold grilled chicken with spicy barbecue sauce. Wheat crackers, mild cheddar, pieces of deli roast beef. A Bloody. The Brown. Lemonade.
  17. Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble. Trouble? Where?
  18. Jager. EDIT: why bother with liquid? Never understood that.
  19. It's OK here in Chicago. At least where I live, in Logan Square. But at my friends' house in Lakeview--man! That shit is nasty!
  20. Thanks! I promise I can behave.
  21. I was thinking the same thing. You should not encourage my sick nature. Nah. Go ahead & answer the damned question. There are a couple of bars in my neighborhood that might be a good starting point. Carry on.
