I don't know anything about Taco Bell, but that's a great line.

Agree.  It's been a bit tough these last few days working.  I'm lucky I have AC in the kitchen but have preferred to BBQ most of the time.

[ninagluck]

no much meat for the next 40 days ;-) salt baked celeriac in a whey sauce, celeriac crumbles, lemon peel

[chefmd]

Stir fry pork, a little bit of left over rice, stems of broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage.  Perfect good king oyster mushroom.  No eggs in the house.

What I've had of the regular menu is pretty tasty: chicken chalupa, crunchwrap supreme, and the favorite of my teenage years was the gordita crunch. Last night was my first time at a Taco Bell in about a year.

 

I don't think I've ever seen one in NYC, but seeking one out seems to me an optimally good use of your time.

 

In fact, years ago, my friend and I drove around in New Jersey/New York area for about 3 hours looking for a Taco Bell. We never did find one.

Valentine’s Day Dinner ~

Grill Seared Sous Vide Beef Ribeye with Duck Fat Roasted Potatoes and Lemon-Dill Green Beans

I made Shrimp Jambalaya for dinner tonight. I was very briefly married a second time and #2 made Jambalaya and I disliked it so much I never even considered making it myself but this recipe from Fine Cooking looked good.  It said to use long grain rice and I used medium grain rice which makes it clump together and not be fluffy like it should.  I had my reasons though. First, I have several pounds of medium grain and it is all we ever use and I didn't want to get some for one recipe until I had tried it this way first. Second, #2 used long grain rice and even though I probably hated it because of her recipe and it wasn't the fault of the rice, I still used medium grain. Third, Charlies' Korean side of the family does not like long grain rice in anything and I was afraid Charlie might not like it either but apparently his tastes are more catholic than I thought.

My wife likes fish above all the rest, so for V-Day I made Cobia in a lemon grass flavored coconut broth with Patagonian scallops residing under the surface

What makes a sandwich a "grinder"?

Expand  

 

In my part of the world a grinder is a heated hoagie, and disdained as the sort of thing they would do in New England.

Happy Valentine to all!

Pizza night. One with leftover smoked ham, peppers and onions.

 

 

And another with beet greens, bacon, ricotta and caramelized onions.

[CantCookStillTry]

Attempted Taco night with cheese shells. Probably won't try this again on a school night/after work. Testing the structural integrity of four different cheese blends whilst supervising the learning of the letter Y was too much effort for too little reward! And thats coming from someone whose last meal would involve melted cheese 6 ways. (actually that fact might be what causes the meal to be my last).

New Year's Eve. Chinese New Year, that is. Tomorrow begins the year of the Dog. Today nearly all shops were closed by noon, if they bothered to open at all. The markets had disappeared by 10 am. A few shops will open on Monday; most not until next Thursday.  Tomorrow will be a total blackout. So, I'll be living out of the freezer for a few days.

Tonight, I dug out two fillets of a red drum which I filleted a few days ago. Pan fried them.  With chips and a simple salad of baby bok choy, tomatoes and Chinese chives.


 

I'll survive.

Wednesday night, spicy Thai basil pollock

 

 

 

Last night, salmon sandwiches with guacamole and bacon

We also just received a Popeye near where I live in Connecticut, which I mean to try very soon. I haven't been to New Jersey in maybe 5 years, and, since I am without a car, could only meet you in NYC, which I would enjoy. I love walking through that city.

[mm84321]

I ate a salad then washed it down with a bowl of wheat thins in coconut milk.

[mgaretz]

Two recent meals.  The first was reheated meatloaf (not shown) but for sides I tried one new thing and revisited an old one I haven't had in years.  First was roasted cabbage a la Serious Eats (from their Apple TV app).  Very good and simple to do.  The second was roti-paratha, which I first had many years ago on a trip to Singapore.  This was from frozen I found while browsing through the local Indian grocery.  I have seen it before (and made it), but again that was many years ago and they came in a huge package.  This was a pack of 5 so I snapped it up.  Yummy yummy.

 

 

 

Finally, meatloaf casserole served with snap peas.

Thanks and thanks for the link.  I think I will stick with store bought for now!

[KennethT]

No problem... the only reason I was thinking about making my own was to make it healthier... many store bought prata are made with some kind of trans fat... this recipe uses oil - so you can use a mild olive oil or grapeseed oil and, theoretically, have a "healthy" prata, if such a thing could ever exist....
