food

[LitLaur]

At first, I was going to make a thread about my dinner Saturday night. Then I wanted to talk about my Super Bowl dinner. THEN I had a stroopwafel, and I had to tell you guys about that...so I condensed it into one food thread.

------

Saturday night I did NOT get sushi as planned. Instead Doug and I went out to Chops with his brother and sister-in-law. And whaddaya know, an acquaintance of ours is a chef there! He was leaving, but he had the kitchen send some tasty fried scallops to our table. We also had some lobster bisque and crab. Everyone else got steak, but I had to satisfy my desire for raw fish, so I ordered some tuna, cooked rare. It was good, but nothing compared to the ribeye. That meat was nearly orgasmic. Nice and crispy on the outside, but still perfectly juicy and tender inside with just the right amount of fat marbled through.

And it was pretty much free, for various reasons.

------

Sunday, we had typical Super Bowl fare, some chicken nuggets, ranch potatoes and the BEST onion rings. And the best cheesy poofs. (http://www.fritolay.com/fl/flstore/cgi-bin/Nutrition_ProdID_3080.htm)

When I went grocery shopping for that stuff, I saw that the Kroger I go to now carries stroopwafels! Or maybe they did before, and I never noticed...but that made me pretty happy. If you like sweets and you've never had one, find them. It's two layers of crispy waffle sandwiched around syrup (I got the kind with honey). So good.

Tonight I need to get my sushi fix.

Oh, those both look tasty!

I make a pretty damn good apple pie, but I got a frozen apple pie on Sunday. It was a decent substitute, though, especially since it took practically no effort.

...food is always a good conversation topic.

make the sandwich, smush the edges together, and then fry it. YUM.

[LitLaur]

No sushi last night. I forgot we had to watch "24". So we ordered cheesesteaks and ate them with those awesome cheesy poofs.

Maybe I'll finally get sushi tonight.

[the pied piper]

I ate Wendy's Saturday night, Moe-Joes on Sunday, and fried chicken and green beans yesterday. Lunch today is going to be Healthy Choice.

[Blueaquatiger]

yeah, and then dip it in a batter and deep fry it!!

mmm heart attack platter

[the pied piper]

but soooo tasty!

[LitLaur]

The best onion rings:

Slice 'em and soak in buttermilk.
Shake off excess buttermilk and dredge in seasoned flour.
Let rings sit for a while.
Dredge again if you want crustier onion rings. I usually do it twice.
Heat oil to 375 degrees F. Fry rings until golden and delicious.

I do chicken nuggets/fingers the same way, but I dredge them 3 or 4 times.

[the pied piper]

Speaking of runny pb... Make a batch of brownies, pour half of the batter in the pan, melt some pb in the micro until it's runny, drizzle on brownies, and then pour the rest of the brownie batter in the pan. drizzle some more pb on top. bake for recommended amount of time, cool, frost, and drizzle more pb on top. YUM

[LitLaur]

Mmmm...I'm so doing that, but without the frosting.

[the pied piper]

I also like to crush up different kinds of candy and do the same process. Butterfinger brownies rock.

[LitLaur]

A friend of mine makes Heath bar brownies. So rich but soooooo good.

I usually stir ground espresso into brownie batter.

lol...that's weird cause we were talking about making brownies and putting those little snickers in them because we have 2 dogs...one named snickers the other brownie.

yeah we like food and dogs...and when money is really tight dog food......and after the apocalypse dog.

[the pied piper]

I love experimenting in the kitchen. I don't get to do it too often though.

[LitLaur]

This has nothing to do with food, but I want to name my first dog Slagathor, but only if it's female.

My mom's cocker spaniel is named Snickers.

The lady behind me at Moe's wanted salsa juice but no salsa on her burrito. I guess she likes sad burritos...

[thirstygoat]

what's a stroopwafel??

[LitLaur]

Did you read the post, or did you just see a funny word and wanted to ask about it?

[Blueaquatiger]

they are kinda wafer and waffle like right? never had them before but i've seen them around.

[*TrIPsTar*]

waffletyme! boh.

[LitLaur]

Yup. This (http://www.shadymaple.ca/en/produits/biscuits_gaufrettes.asp) is what I got. If you like the flavor of maple or honey, they're really good.

And for t3h n00b - ooh, stroopwafels... (http://justfuckinggoogleit.com)

[Parabolizm]

I just cooked five slices of bacon, three scrambled eggs with colby jack cheese, and two english muffins...
And a giant glass of OJ to was it all down.
I'm so FULL.

[LitLaur]

Mmm...I want to make a Spanish tortilla (potato, onion and egg frittata)

[*TrIPsTar*]

[Parabolizm]

I just read a recipe on the back of the bacon for a breakfast pizza...
Sounds gooooooooooood!
I gotta make me one someday!

[Blueaquatiger]

x2

[LitLaur]

x3

But I can't eat breakfast food at breakfast time. It makes me nauseous that early.

[Parabolizm]

x4.

[the pied piper]

That's because you're not used to it. Start with simple breakfast foods, like cereal. I used to never eat breakfast, and now I couldn't go without it.

[LitLaur]

I grew up eating breakfast, but I can't stand it now. Even cereal, which makes a great midday snack.

[*TrIPsTar*]

I love breakfast foods, for dinner. lol

[LitLaur]

What about dinner foods for breakfast?

[Parabolizm]

I can eat any food at all times of the day...
I'm like a goddamn garbage-disposal.

[*TrIPsTar*]

What about dinner foods for breakfast?

I'm not interested lol

[Parabolizm]

What about dinner foods for breakfast?

Good stuff... Especially with a hangover... :p

[the pied piper]

cold pizza or leftover fried chicken is yummy for breakfast.

[Parabolizm]

i dig the cold pizza... leftover fried chicken though... meh...
the skin is crunchy anymore... :(

[dr00]

white pizza from everybody's pizza *dr00lsonself*

[CapnDiff]

the skin is crunchy anymore... :(

you should just dip it in gravy at that point, that way you don't notice the lack of crunch.

[the pied piper]

Okay what's our food topic today?
