What did you eat today?
After paying for my Allopurinol, I ain't gonna be ingesting no pork 'cept that which Meals On Wheels brings me.Quote: EvenBobPan fried in lard pork chop with pork rind breading
Bread? So many different types of concoctions all called 'bread'. Too confusing for my addled brain state.
I ate turkey flavored shoe leather and Picante sauce.'
Afternoon Addendum:
Defrosting some chicken burgers from the Food Bank. Will use Picante Sauce to hide the taste of them. Just rinsed my coffee maker out so I can mask the taste of chicken-fried shoe leather smothered in picante sauce.
Slice of mozzarella, one of pepper jack, a third of Swiss, topped with a generous portion of parmesan.
A generous amount of Country Crock and a dollop of sour cream cooked to golden brown perfection.
Simply Ambrosia.

I just shuddered involuntarily. Please

instead. Country Crock of Crap will
mess you up.

Bugs and wild animals won't even eat that stuff.😂
Quote: billryanMade my four cheese grilled cheese this morning. Sadly, I can't find good the bread around these parts so ended using some sort of potato bread.

Use a light spread of mayo instead of margarine or butter. It fries up better and does not leave any mayo taste.

OMG that sounds repulsive. Maybe just thinking that because regular mayo and cheese are a horrible combo, either fine without the other. I’ll take your word on no hint of mayo taste but difficult to believe. To me also having the buttery taste to the bread would be an important part of grilled cheese.

Stars must be in alignment today because I agree with EvenBob.

I've tried it. It doesn't leave a mayo taste but it wasn't satisfying. I'm twenty plus miles from a supermarket so I have to make due with what's at hand. I usually use a butter/ olive oil mix but have to use what I have.
Two weeks ago, I had a 7-11 at the entrance to my complex for last minute necessities. Last night I stopped by the nearest conscience store/ gas station. $7.56 for a gallon of milk. It's $3.79 at Safeway.
Preheat oven to 400°
4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, fresh or thawed
1 cup mayo (not miracle whip - doesn't cook right)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 Tbsp curry powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Place the chicken, single layer and not touching, on aluminum foil over a baking sheet
Mix the rest in a bowl. Put it on the chicken breasts as if you're icing little cakes, not too thick, but completely covering the tops and sides.
If not eating 100% keto, sprinkle top lightly with panko crumbs or Ritz cracker crumbs. Which adds like, 1g carb, so do it anyway.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°. (Mine actually got to 180°, and was still moist and full of flavor.)
The mayo seals the chicken and the meat absorbs the spices. It comes out juicy, not greasy, and not tasting at all of mayonnaise. It gets a delicious crispy light crust from the crumbs. It was simply phenomenal, and one of the easiest things I've ever cooked.
It was also just as good cold the next day - I made the rest into chicken salad, so you should be able to make too much and use it all.
I swear, you will take a bite of this and go, OMG. But be sure to ice the chicken thoroughly or an oven that hot will dry it out.

Maybe with different spices, but this same basic recipe also works really well with corn flakes for breading.
I’ve never ordered it, but I’ve also seen legitimately good restaurants use captain crunch as the breading.
I will TRY to eat just one meal today.
Those chicken burgers I pan-fried tasted like shoe leather with cumin and ginger.

I’m a fan of McDonalds food, and I tried it and thought it was pretty flavorless.
The girl at the window told me she didn’t like them either 😂

Maybe they extracted all the cancer causing ingredients tasty sauce and replaced it with a blander version.
The only bar/ restaurant in miles has three tacos and a margaritas for $6 or unlimited of both for $20 tonite to kick off the Day of the Dead festivities. We have two designated drivers lined up.
Quote: DRichI had peanut butter toast with garlic powder on it. I was drunk.
yummy :D
Quote: GWAEI had ham bbq. Do people all over the country eat that? Isalys chipped chopped ham with home made bbq sauce. 1 cup of coke and 1 cup of ketchup. Mix the 3 ingredients together and voila.
Never heard of it and I grew up close to you (Ohio).
Quote: DRichNever heard of it and I grew up close to you (Ohio).
I might be a very regional thing. Pittsburgh has so many little weird things like this. We seem to be our own little island at times.
It is chipped ham and bbq sauce mixed together. But the bbq sauce is not a thick sauce like you would buy in store. Put it on buns and voila. Great for parties and tailgating.
I recall endless waves of sugar jags from these tiny little candy bars, peanut butter, celery, coffee.
Don't recall taking any of my dozen or so Rx'd pills.
Woke up in bed, fully dressed including shoes.
I guess I should have donated ALL the candy I bought to the trick or treat committee.

Of all the American cities I've visited, I think the Pittsburgh food fare is by far the most eclectic. Last thing I had, or tried to have, was a hero named after a certain Steelers QB. It was hideous.
Quote: linksjunkieHow much chipped ham 2lbs or so to 1 cup ketchup & 1 cup coke?
I usually do about 1.25 lbs. Leaves it a little wet, probably could stretch it to 2 lbs.
In a coffee cup. Put orange segments. I usually just use one orange. Pour real honey on top. IDK how healthy real honey is, but fake honey is very bad. Put cinnamon on top.
All done. Don't injure yourselves attempting to lick the bottom of the cup.
Quote: RigondeauxCan't remember if I posted this. Not keto but very healthy as desert goes. Tastes better than many deserts too.

Would probably be better with the fake orange candy slices.

How many bags of those do you have in the pantry for the apocalypse?
Quote: DRichWould probably be better with the fake orange candy slices.
The orange juice mixed with honey and cinnamon is crack cocaine.
I do like the fake orange slices but yes, this is much better.

That would probably be good with grapefruit too. I might forgo the cinnamon with the grapefruit but idk that might be good too.

I like instant Ramen. Not many other things can you have a 20 cent meal. If you really want to treat yourself you can add Bacobits.
Amazingly my blood pressure has been down a lot. I am now averaging 180/115.

I was going out to an anesthesiology dinner last night..... I see wifey has made a packet of beef flavored ramen..... she adds a TON of black pepper to it...... Really good.....

By the way, in honor of Bob, I bought a can of sardines. Dumped it over a mixed green salad, onions, tomatoes. Finished with Italian dressing. Pretty good, but I'm not craving to do it again.
Quote: MaxPenAre French fries a vegetable?
Absolutely YES, in my book. Potatoes and corn are the only vegetables that I eat.
IMO Stouffers chicken parmesan and Stouffers lasagna are among the best
I recently nuked the chicken parmesan and it was kind of disappointing - the chicken was tough for one thing
2 days later I ate it again but this time I cooked it in my conventional oven per their directions and it was way, way better
of course one reason people buy them is to save time so many might not want to take the time the oven takes
but if you do you have a much better dinner
the difficulty: the outside is often cooked much more well done then the inside - solution coming
first I buy 93% lean ground beef - more expensive but worth it -
I cook in a mild oil - I use canola
I season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and A1 steak sauce
this is the key part: I smash the burger all the way down so, it's very, very flat - maybe not as aesthetic as the usual way but I don't care
this makes the inside cook almost the same as the outside
this takes time but I then slow cook it in the oven at 195 degrees for 45 minutes
this is the best tasting burger - for me anyway - it beats all the restaurant burgers that I've ever had
What an odd phrase.
Does "trash" seem too abrasive? Like how people are afraid to say "died" and say "passed away?"
Trash is a lot less scary than death though
