What did you eat today?
I'm perfectly willing to believe this is the same kind of personality defect that prevents me from accepting cauliflower as pizza crust.
I'd drink a mug of it on game days in high school. I stopped eating it when I went away to school. A few years ago, I looked for it but it doesn't seem to be made in the same recipe.
Quote: DieterUtterly boring.
Oatmeal, with cinnamon and nutmeg.
About half a pat of butter, and a sprinkle of the yellow sweetener.
(No photo, because oatmeal - even spiced up - is so absurdly boring.)

Maybe plant a little umbrella in it? And a cherry.

Coat anything in sugar laden barbecue sauce and it tastes great, a dog turd on a stick would taste wonderful drowned in barbecue sauce and cooked on the grill
Do you realize that good BBQ doesn't need sauce? BBQ sauce is made to taste like BBQ, but it is not BBQ. I don't think I have ever had a BBQ sauce that is good. Most are too sweet and not smoky enough.
If I had a list of foods to eat, BBQ might make the bottom of the top ten. I prefer sweet to smokey, but not too much of either.
Quote: billryanI've seen grown men fight over what BBQ is or isn't. I like some of it, but I am not crazy about others. In my circles, BBQ means burgers, chicken, and dogs on a barbeque grill.

To me BBQ is meat cooked over wood. Propane does not create BBQ.
Quote: DRichI have been travelling for a few days and today I had KFC chicken nuggets. I don't think that I have ever had them before. They were excellent and definitely did not need any sauce. I will be buying them again to see if this was a fluke or not.

Have you tried Taco Bell’s new chicken nuggets? I thought they were quite good, very tender. The breading is made from nacho chips or something.
Beef with broccoli, at the food hall near the house.
I'm in the neighborhood around dinnertime today, and won't be back for at least a week.
I should really ask if they can go off-menu, and put both broccoli and mushrooms on a plate.
There is a new African food stall, so I may hit them up for some Jollof rice on my next trip through.

I have not. This is probably the first fast food that I have had in many months or so. Something i noticed about the KFC nuggets is I don't think it is processed chicken. I think it is actually whole chicken breasts cubed.
Today, in the pursuit of eating some of that local flavour before it disappears, I had a "philly beef breakfast skillet". This example consists of hashbrowns, green peppers, onions, something akin to pot roast, a slice of swiss cheese, and then topped with a couple eggs. I'm not sure what's "Philly" about that.
The hot sauce was not Texas Pete, Franks, or one of the well known varieties - they had their own private label signature hot sauce. I'm sure it's just their sticker on some manufacturer's sauce. Still, they selected it, and it's decidedly different from the usual thin vinegar sauces. This was thick, smoky, and included a blend of peppers.
The cafe itself is a clear holdover from the "truckers need phones" era. A little scrutiny shows where the phones used to be mounted at the counters and booths. Sadly, the public health concerns of 2020 seemed to claim their overnight operations as a casualty, and herald new ownership and a new management philosophy. The music service feed is still stuck on the greatest hits of the 1980s, like The Cars, Tina Turner, and INXS. The local regulars still shuffle in around 7:15 to drink coffee, read the newspaper, and hold court. By contrast, the truck stop across the highway took out their sitdown restaurant about 15 years ago, to revitalize the space into a Popeye's chicken franchise.

It's because that's what real food looks like and all you're used to is that pre-made crap you buy that looks like it came out of a machine.
I dropped another nine pounds this week, twenty-three in total since December 13th.
Twenty-one straight days of pizza for lunch is working wonders.
Crazy thing is how cheap I can make 10-12 servings (not counting original cost of ham). Probably less than $10 for all the above meals.

Something you might try is adding more and more water to whatever you're drinking. If adding ice, add the same amount of ice first so that's always the same, then add a little bit of water, and keep increasing over time. If you start to really notice then decrease the rate. You'll likely grow used to the new taste over time.
Painless. When it works.

...anyway. I had forgotten that I used to keep those Wylers lemonade packets on hand. I haven't been to a store that carries the multiflavor packs in almost 2 years, so I figure I'll stop in tomorrow, when I'm in the neighborhood. I'll probably have to complain to nobody in particular that they were 40% less expensive back when things cost less, and now they're not. C'est la vie.
Quote: billryanI buy mine from Amazon, although I stick with lemonade.
link to original post
The multiflavor box seems to contain lemonade, strawberry lemonade, pink lemonade, and blueberry lemonade.
I think the pink lemonade is the best, although the blueberry is kind of fun.
Quote: DieterI'll probably have to complain to nobody in particular that they were 40% less expensive back when things cost less, and now they're not. C'est la vie.

Only about 21% more expensive, achieved by reducing the package size from 50 pieces to 40 pieces and marginally decreasing the package price.
Interestingly, while I already ordered some for the house, they're less expensive in the store by about $3 per package. (I'm not near the house, and they need some too.)
Adding a small tube of cream cheese to the ricotta mix makes it much creamier, and ground sausage tastes better than ground beef.
A pound each of pasta, sauce, and ricotta cheese, topped with a generous amount of mozzarella and cooked until the cheese is browning.
I ate a third, froze a third, and the rest is for tomorrow.

From your picture you posted I can't tell. Imagine a food magazine that had no pictures, all they did is describe the food. Nobody would buy it. So simple, take a picture with your phone, send it to Google photos, make a file out of it and hit 'insert my picture' at the bottom of this page. I can do it in less than a minute start to finish.
Here is my favorite dessert. Chocolate cake with Vanilla frosting, smothered in vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy

See that, an actual picture of the food. Maybe you could teach Bill Ryan how to use a camera and load something to the internet. He would have just described it and nobody would read it and those who did read it would not care.
Quote: billryanThree egg omelet with lots of peppers, onions, and mushrooms. I cut down from my usual four eggs but didn't cut the other ingredients so the ratio wasn't quite right.

Do you cook the ingredients into the curd, or fold the curd around the fillings?

You are mistaken, too rare is not possible. From the color of the juices coming out I prefer them even rarer than that. And no it's not blood as a lot of people think, that's ridiculous.
Strongman diet.
Quote: rxwineBreakfast is 10 eggs and two to three pounds of bacon. Between meals, I eat lots of candy. In the morning, it will be several 3 Musketeers and/or Snickers bars; I need them for energy. Lunch, at 1 or 2 PM, is a double meal of a Polish pork chop, sauerkraut and potatoes. An hour later, I work out, then take lots of supplements: magnesium, creatine, amino acids, all that stuff, and more chocolate. Dinner is whatever meat I can grab—steaks, pork chops, bacon—plus more sauerkraut and potatoes. At 9 or 10 PM, I work out again. Afterward, I have a protein shake and more chocolate. At 3 or 4 AM, I wake up and have more chocolate, then go back to sleep until morning.

Bacon the number one super bad for you food. It's in the top list of known carcinogens, it causes cancer. Because of the way it's cured he greatly increases your chances of a stroke. Because it's high in sodium fat cholesterol it increases the risk of heart disease. It damages the lining of the stomach which again can lead to cancer. And you eat three or four pounds a day? Good for you, knowing you're not going to live forever and diving right into it.

One of my housemates in college was a super-heavyweight wrestler. As he didn't worry about making weight, he'd eat anything and everything. He'd have a dozen eggs for breakfast, or have a package of hot dogs( no bread) for lunch. We were at Ponderosa once, and he ordered five steaks. He'd buy four whoppers, throw away most of the buns and make one giant burger. He wrestled at 275ish and was pretty solid.
