Last night I grilled some skirt steak for tacos, with cheese and some chiles toreados (roasted serrano peppers, onions, and some other spices) I picked up in the Mexican section of the grocery store.
Whole grean beans with potatoes. A little bit of ricemayo with curry. It's kind of a mayonaise made of rice instead of diary products. It's yellow because there is curry in it.
It still needs seasoning after its done (I use Pork Barrel and BBQ sauce) but it is absurdly tender. It's incredibly easy to make and never lasts very long with the two voracious carnivores I have in the house.
Y'know, a lot of people come up to me and ask "Hey Vincent, what is the meaning of life?" I chuckle, look them in the eye and say "The answer has been looking at you from the ice cream isle for a long time."
I have read reviews on the Internet about how good Trader Joe's chocolate croissants are.
Well the other day I was at Trader Joe's and decided to check them out. I saw right next to them in the freezer section, the almond croissants. Not being a big fan of chocolate, I decided to grab a box of those.
The directions say to put them on a lightly buttered baking pan and let them sit at room temperature for 6 - 7 hours.
They rise.
And then you bake.
These things are so good. There is just enough really sweet almond paste on the inside to balance the butteriness of the flaky croissant.
