What Are You Eating?

Hell, almost everything I buy is store brand, nothing wrong with that, and that looks delicious! I like Kroger's five cheese sauce as much as I do Newman's Own, and I love Newman's Own, but at half the price you can't beat that kind of deal.

Made burgers over the weekend. 1/3 Angus, 1/3 Bison, 1/3 Pork, with seasoning and blue cheese crumbles mixed in. On toasted Brioche Bun, bacon, prosciutto, BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard.

"the Vatican"
Jerk chicken and slaw on a panini.



over rice instead:



if y'all ever come to my neighbourhood, this is where we eat

My friend, Betsy, got stuck in BK when covid first hit. She's been renting out her townhouse here ever since and pops back maybe once a year now.

Last I heard she was doing a lot of film/theatre/choir stuff there.

BBQ Chicken....mmm

Andrea Seaside Restaurant & Bar this past weekend. New England Clam Chowda. Yes....chowdahh...

Way overdue for a trip to one of my favorite lunch spots.




Carne asada al la Mexicana and carnitas a la Mexicana.
So freaking good. Especially the asada.

God that looks fantastic!

I had some kielbasa and sauerkraut for lunch from our hot foods/gas station/convenience store this afternoon. They slow simmer that stuff for 4 hours, and it's delicious. Unfortunately, I'm now letting off enough natural gas to get the attention of the US military, who now believes I need a healthy dose of freedom. I really just need a healthy dose of Beano, but it's too late for that.

Don't light a match, please.

I love cabbage dishes but, yeah.

Exactly, and every time I think "finally, I think it's done," there will be an eruption setting off seismometers in Berkeley.

That hot dog looks deliciously burnt in the best way.

I baked a tasty tasty pizza today.

It's a cheddar beer brat on a brioche bun. I wanted just a bit of char on it. The lobster tail came out amazing.

In celebration of getting my insulin, and by fortunate happenstance, my brother and his family got back from their trip to Tennessee. They went to The Apple Barn, and brought me back a large apple fritter, which has now been eaten. Oh my god it was sooooooo gooooooood. They slathered it in apple butter, which is my second favorite of the butters.

I started prepping for tacos I'm making tomorrow.

Picked up the shrimp, tacos, cilantro, limes, red onion, avocado and sour cream earlier today.

Sliced the red onion into thin slices, mixed in lime juice, salt, and ground rainbow peppercorns.

For the shrimp I made a marinade of lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, butter, kosher salt, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, rainbow peppercorns, chipotle pepper, anchor pepper.

I'll make a sauce from the sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, diced jalapeno.

And a pico from cherry tomatoes, kosher salt, rainbow peppercorns, cilantro, jalapenos.

The cherry tomatoes and jalapenos are from the garden.

I'll slice and cube the avocado.

I'll try to remember to take pics while grilling the shrimp. And the tacos.

Hell yeah, I fucking love tacos! I've ordered the ingredients to make them this week. They're traditional white people tacos, but I love the hell out of them. If I can remember, I'll take pics of that, too.
Can't wait to see yours, Ed!

Holy fucking shit... they were so damn good! I almost shot a load on the first bite. Not really, but damn they were amazing. I wound up eating 18 of them. I highly recommend using street taco tortillas, they are the perfect size for them.

I used a plastic container for the red pickled onion so I didn't have the onion odor in other dishes.

@Coloratura here you go.

Oh damn, those look fantastic!

You had me at pickled red onions.

I really need to learn how to make those.

I made them by cutting the onion in half, then cutting thin slices. In a bowl juice of half a lime, a small amount of salt, about 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Let it sit overnight in the fridge.

Okay, I'm doing this. I mean, not this week, but I'm definitely trying this. I love the hell out of pickled anything.

Thinking about it, the lime I used was pretty big. So enough lime juice to just cover the sliced red onion.

Easy enough. I buy limes every so often.

Most recipes I've seen call for vinegar of some kind but I never remember to buy any.

I do buy limes all the time, though, because I drink a lot of margaritas.

My wife’s on a business trip so frozen pizza for dinner.

It’s been forever since I had wings.



Wingstop, mainly due to proximity to my house.

I had the lemon pepper rub wings from Wingstop once, and they were like crack.
