What are you Eating/Drinking?

Went to Texas Roadhouse with my parents last night and had the three piece catfish, a cup of chili, and steak fries. Had leftovers to take with me too :tup:

>Went to Texas Roadhouse
>Had leftovers

That's a given, mate.

I'm good for a half slab of ribs. Threw the leftovers in the microwave the next day, and was genuinely suprised. Thought for sure they'd end up chewy, but they weren't bad!

Been meaning to try the pulled pork for months noa. Next time.

Pistachio nuts.

Had the last of the pork carnitas tacos for lunch.

Last evening, I tried a slice of whole-grain bread with mustard and (curry) ketchup. Never again.

Food at the Halloween party last night was some kind of meatball/pasta dish, a tiny sandwich, a slice of pepperoni pizza, assorted meats and cheeses, two different cookies and two different bars.

Basically whatever my wife brought me while I was bartending.

Drinks at the party ended up being whatever I mixed for people that didn't fit into the glass so I'd pour the last bit into mine to try it and three other drinks ("Liquified Ghost" (basically four shots of assorted vodkas and almond milk ), S'mores martini (flavored vodkas and almond milk ) and a Zombie Mai Tai (just a regular old Mai Tai ) that I made for myself.

T'was a good night.

Nature is back on schedule. It's getting colder. Not as cold as should be this time of year but still too cold for my taste.


I think I used the wrong thread, ..... again.


To make things right: home made chervil soup. And Romanesco Broccolli

I was drinking Sake on Friday, with a label very similar to this...

My mate asked me to taste it and then tell him how strong I thought it was... I guessed 15% ABV, but then he showed me the label where it states "40%" on it. I couldn't believe it - and given my (ample) experience in drinking neat bourbons, single malt whiskies and gins, I was highly suspicious that it could be anything like 40% alcohol. He pointed out that he had studied Japanese for a few years, but was a little rusty... so it became a question of what would you trust more, his rusty Japanese or my ability to accurately discern alcohol content. After a short dig around on the internet, I found a guide to how Sake bottles are labelled, and, sure enough, it would appear that my taste buds are more accurate than my mate's oriental language skills. Indeed, it would appear that the bottle in question was likely 16-17% ABV, and not the 40% as was claimed.

I would gamble a guess that this is the ABV.

So out of all the writing they could only get the 40% on the label?

Yeh, it doesn't say much for his Japanese!

I mixed some stuff together and it is surprisingly not that bad at all.

 

[TB]

Not so much a what am I eating as it is a what am I putting on the thing I'm eating.

For decades, I've put the available at every pizza joint (and at home) crushed red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese on my pizza. A few weeks ago I remembered Papa Johns had a flavor packet that you could sprinkle on the pizza that I seemed to recall being pretty damn good. Looking up a few recipes, I came across one that sounded like it might do the trick. After mixing up a batch and trying it, it's not quite as sweet at what I remember but it is incredible.

Then I ran out halfway through a pizza and resorted back to the crushed red pepper and Parmesan. I can't do it. It tasted terrible. So I mixed up another batch.

• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme

I tripled the recipe this time and put it in a shaker bottle for easier application. I followed one suggestion and only used half the salt. I considered adding a bit (teaspoon or so) of sugar but didn't. Perhaps when this runs out.

What does this “stuff” comprise of?

Stuff, obviously.

 

[TB]

I heard it was marshmallows, shiitake mushrooms, cognac and a herring.

That’s quite the mix

 

[kikie]

What does this “stuff” comprise of?

For me to know and for you to find out.

Spoiler: To find out.

I think it was leftover lettuce, sauerkraut, saffron, nutritional yeast, curry ketchup, veganaise, raw honey, raisins

 

[TB]

A "Mystery Flavor" OREO.

But only one. Don't want to blow the diet.

 

[Darla Starch]

Because I need something to drink while playing Crusader Kings.

I've never eaten people (that I'll admit to) but unless they taste like Fruit Loops or Fruity Pebbles (can't quite put my finger on which), no, no they didn't.

But ..... only one is a diet. Right?

Soylent Green referrance?

So this is a thing and....


....it's not that bad.

Heard about it on the radio. Can't decide if I want to brave it or not...

You're the living embodiment of tuberculosis, you gotta brave it.

Nuts and raisins (at the moment).
