Wrong day for this thread, for me. Restarted my diet today so not much. Yesterday was a travelling day. Last good meal I had was Friday night, when we had pork tenderloin at my parents' house.

A cheese and shredded capicolla omlet with rye toast and a big glass of tomato juice. Those dumplings look good, would that be barbeque pork filling? drool

Of course, Hosakawa! Took forever to find at the asian grocery today, had them hidden behind all the sweet red bean ones.
Last good meal I had was Friday night..
Agree, Friday night was better: Yaki Udon and some other plates.

Had chicken tandoori today, that tandoori marinade is so good!
Yes yes, I know it's probably a cheap commercial knock-off and nothing like the "real indie thing", but it's still darn good.

Some Sri Lankan cuisine over at my friend's house. Looks and tastes exceedingly similar to my familiar Thai cuisine, which I positively hate. Considering its only competition today is some toast with butter-and-jam in the morning it's sort of a win, but not really.
Ah well. Off to another meal with me then. :balloon:
Ham and cheese omelette with Hollandaise sauce, potatos, toast and coffee.
No lunch.
Cheeseburgers off the BBQ, beer, and chocolate chip cookies.

Hmm, never had a lot of the things you guys are talking about, like Siapao and Yum Cha. We don't get as much diversity here in the middle of nowhere. Pretty much its a lot of sports bars and mexican restaurants.
Hmm, I suppose the best thing I had today was a ground turkey meat burger. Ground turkey is quite excellent, imo. It works especially well on my Foreman grill.

a) Which Yum Cha.
I'll find out and get back to ya, just remember it was in Black Town. Pretty seedy area and finding parking was a consistent ordeal, but the shark fin dim sum was sooo worth it. My other favorite was the rice noodle thing (forget the name). It was a long and flat noodle with two big prawns inside that they'd serve with a dousing of soy sauce that was fantastic.

Looks and tastes exceedingly similar to my familiar Thai cuisine, which I positively hate.
Hating Thai food?! My God, utter blasphemy. To be honest, I didn't like it much as a child, but mainly because I kept ordering curries and the coconut milk based ones sit terribly in my stomach. Have you tried some of the more simple dishes like pad thai or glass noodle salad? Those are the Thai dishes that won me over and now I'm hooked.
Nevertheless, I envy Prollie's menu... can't say I've had the pleasure.
The great thing about siopao is that a drunken alzheimer's patient could make it. If you have any of those Asian groceries around you that are spreading like wild fire in northern Virginia, you can just ask for the steamed sweet buns (like Hosa knows, get the barbqued pork!) and you will get what you're looking for. There you can get a steamer basket* usually for a few dollars, and you just boil a pot of water, put the basket on top, and let the buns steam for 10 minutes or so. The directions say you can microwave them too, but they're prolly not as soft and moist that way.

We don't get as much diversity here in the middle of nowhere. Pretty much its a lot of sports bars and mexican restaurants.
Don't take the Mexican food for granted! While in Australia, I had prolly the best Thai, Chinese, and Indian food I've ever had, but their Mexican food is downright awful. Seems strange that such a simple cuisine could be done wrong, but believe me, you couldn't get a satisfactory enchilada down there for your life.

Left over roast beef sandwichs. Though I haven't had dinner yet.
Lamb chops [marinated in garlic, oil & rosmary marinated 24h] of the grill with some coriander/parsley yoghurt dip. Serves with rice & tomato salad. And good old micro-brewery Bavarian beer.~:cheers:
Lovely feature: had it with a good looking & fun lady who knows to value a good meal!!!
Well, it was last Friday, but still.....

Two pieces of toast with marmite.:thumbsdown:
I WAS going to have the last pain au chocolate, but la petite assassin (age 2) said she wanted it, and then didn't eat it. She did, however, manage to scrunch it up enough so no one else wanted it.
Lunch is not shaping to be all that much better either.
On the other hand last night I made my secret chicken, cabbage, chick pea and tarragon stew. :2thumbsup: , if I do say so myself.
Is it just me or do those siopao look like dinosaur eggs?
The best thing I ate today (monday, though it's already midnight here): some bread rolls with sausages and ketchup. Mmmm, I like poor food, especially when I'm hungry. Even a couple pf cheap crackers would taste damn good.
The best part? It was free. ~DNo fair, free stuff taste better by virtue of not spending for it. ~D
Owing to all the siopao talk here, today I had steamed cat siopao for breakfast. They say it's pork, but I know better.. ~:eek:

I'm going to warm up some leftover quiche from yesterday, which ought to be good, it certainly was yesterday :yes:
I had a blanquette de veau for lunch. If my translator is correct, it's white veal stew with cream and onions. With rice mixed with mushrooms and followed by strawberrys and pineapple, it was a correct meal.

Possibly the soup I had for lunch - Carrot and Coriander. I had begun to get bored with having it every day for the past few weeks, so I decided to spice it up a little. I added to it, while it was simmering, a moderate amount of garlic powder, a pinch of salt, black pepper, extra coriander powder and a few chives. The best I've ever tasted it. However, on the down side, nobody has dared to come near me all afternoon - what is it with people and the smell of garlic?

Or, well, I'm "Thai" in the way that Americans say they're "Chinese" or "Irish," you know
That does make me a curious creature. The World likes Thai food and yet this one individual finds many of the more "elegant" dishes downright disgusting. I guess I just never really found the abundance of spice to be that enticing. Mind you, my favorite Thai cuisine -- and I do love those which I like -- are simpler ones less overloaded with all the spice and chili and all the flora of Tropical SE Asia. And I hate spicy food :P
******
But since this is an uplifting thread about nice food, I guess I'll have to answer the topic and says that today's fish (fried, eaten with rice), tuna sandwich, and a bowl of homemade spaghetti (all in separate meals) are all quite wonderfully engaging. And, like always, off to eat with me!
(How the heck am I so damn thin with so much love for food? 107 Pounds is unhealthy no matter how anyone put it. -.-)
The big fat shot of bourbon I'm drinking right now.
Other than that, my cereal at breakfast was very good. Organic "Cheerios" with blueberries, bananas, pumpkin seeds, and organic milk. Love it.

A PB&J sandwich.
The bread was lightly toasted, just right to add texture, the peanut butter was good Adams stuff, the perfect consistency, the jelly was great and it all came together perfectly with a glass of milk. Mmm, baby.

Today I have fully discovered this American establishment known as Subway,
although ably manned by our Warsaw contingent. "Very nice, yes." Probably will
surpass the pizza I'll have tonight.
The best thing I ate today -- actually am doing so right now -- is beer. Yes that's right: beer is "food". I never drink Bavaria, but beer's beer... it not only serves as a drink, but as food, for it would fill a person with-- what... two sandwiches? Therefore -> beer = multipurpose consumption product.
Especially if you buy a little crate of beer, it serves more than just to be consumed. The bottles can be used as light quick weapons close or afar; the crate itself can be used as a heavy (slow) weapon.
But wait(!), there's more. You can even use the beer crate as foot support to rest your tired legs and feet. Or you can use the crate to sit on outside if there's nothing else around. You can even use the bottles to juggle if you feel like it (and are good enough).
How's that for multipurpose use of a crate and bottles, besides the food/drink functions of the beer itself, eh? Brilliant :saint:
@ Bijo:
There is a saying amongst turks who live in Bavaria [and drink beer]:
"Beer is considered as bread by Bavarians...and Allah said noting about us not being allowed to have some bread!".

Try asking restaurants in your local Chinatown if they serve Dim Sum. Remember to go in the morning - it's a breakfast food. Ask them what tea they're serving while you're at it.

Nope, and neither do I. But it (well they I had two) was so good after 10 beers, plus Smirnoff and Jägerbombs.

Excellent Schweinebraten, mushroom sauce, potatoes and a few alibi vegetables...
Vegetable & Chicken pulao (pilaf).
Dating back to heaven knows when, it's a one pot dish. Onions, vegetables (peasm carrots, potatoes etc) and chicken on the bone with South Asian spices (optional for Occidentals or Persians & Arabs). Put everything in a pot and let simmer for an hour, add rice and simmer for another 25 minutes.
Goes down well with a nice red wine, like Saint-Émilion.

A wise move. Life's uncertain, eat dessert first.:2thumbsup:
Damn companies that upholds the "new" healthy trend. I am eating salad every day at work and have no desire to make a descent meal for one when I get home.
My wife is having exams at uni and have no time catering for her husband (and no time to eat if I made her something). I am getting what the kids are eating = left over kid food (mashed potato or pasta with either sausage or minced beef and lighly cooked vegetables[carrots])
15th of June is her last exams day... Time to celebrate? Oh, yeah!!!
Well mum ain't here so it's just my dad, me and my youngest brother home for the long weekend. Which means canned food all weekend. :2thumbsup:
Tonight it was a can of Watties Spaghetti in tomato sauce. :beam:
dinner was longganisa (philippine chorizo/sausage) served with a siding of diced ripe tomatoes and eaten with white rice.
very uncharacteristic for dinner as it is breakfast fare, but what's a fat man to do?
yesterday: chicken tika massala with rice and a load of steamed vegetables (tomatoe, paprika, courgette and those small little onions, dunno the english word); light yoghurt as dessert.
today: a piece of duck, carrots, röstis and applesauce; mokka ice cream as dessert.
Tomorrow: steak au poivre with french belgian fries, salad and tomatoes; dessert probably chocolate mousse.

There's this chef, Fournier, a rising star, who somehow manages to create a great steak out of watermelon and an undiclosed brown substance. I've read about it, but can't check it out myself, because he serves it at his restaurant in Boston, America. :wall:

A very rich and tasty Surinamese soup that fills you quite well, as it is eaten (at least I assume) as a main meal; not as light pre-main food -- it has it all; rice, chicken meat, potato-like "casava", cooked banana, and more, not forgetting the main soup itself all over it.

Peasoup with pieces of sausages and Heineken beer as beverage. (I must locate true tasty stout beer somewhere; a REAL man's beer.)

Saved this thread from the precipice. A grilled sirloin burger with crumbled blue cheese mixed in, topped with onion, lettuce & tomato (fresh from the garden). Two ears of corn-on-the-cob and washed down with two bottles of Stella Artois.
Hosakawa's hamburger puts mine to shame :shame:

Nice one, Hosa. Two things I typically don't go an entire week without consuming; blue cheese and Stella. yummy
Best thing I had today was prolly the Chicken Caesar Salad for late lunch. Taking it real easy on the diet this week so I can cut loose in Vegas this weekend, and still show myself in public in poolside attire.
Sitting on the grass at a client's house eating leftover chicken risotto with leftover Greek salad thrown on top for lunch. Really good.

Hot and humid today so a cold plate. Home made potato salad with wasabi mayo for a kick, smoked tuna salad, dollop of cold leftover baked beans on a bed of green leaf lettuce from the garden, garnished with home grown cherry tomatoes, garden cucumber slices, radishes, carrot & celery sticks washed down with iced tea.
Like Beirut, we sat in the grass under a shade tree and enjoyed a comfortable breeze, and the wonderful scent of the roses in the garden. :daisy:

I'm enjoying some Ciao Bella Blackberry Cabernet Sorbetto right now, for the first time. The slight wine flavor is really nice, actually. I was a bit skeptical, but figured I'd try it. Glad I did.

Hah, that reminds me of another stop in LA. These hotdogs were fantastic, but I still prefer the east coast classic Nathan's. Are you a Nathan's Hotdogs man, Kukri?

Yuppers, if for no other reason than Milton Berle's famous
"Let our slogan be 'E Pluribus Hot Dog.' "
when honoring Coney Island's fabulous frankfurter (and by extension, america).
I enjoy the hint of garlic aftertaste Nathan's has. Plus they have thicker casings/skins, making them more grill-friendly, therefore less likely to blister/burn when cooked by beer-soaked klutzes like me.

Yanno, I never gave it a second thought, 'til now. I guess I've sealed my fate then - what is this handbasket I seem to be riding in?
But I gotta say: for hotdogs, they were devilishly delicious.
You guys just rock...
The doctor told me yesterday - no more red meat for you.
So I took the salad bar for lunch today.
Ok, I am going to be specific. I put this in my bowl:
Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, Tuna, Chicken, peanuts, cooked egg, pasta, pineapple, corn, crabsticks and cheese. On top I poured over some white dressing – probably some sour cream based with chives.
With it I had two glasses of water and a rye roll with healthy butter.
Yep I am definitely loosing weight. I am probably going to look like BKS if this continues.
Vietnamese egg/spring roll + red-like spicy condiment --> reaction = 'mmmmm, ahhhhh'

My youngest nieces (Livy twin 1, Natalie the elder, Emmy twin 1A) are out from Boston Mass. for a visit. So I whipped up some homemade chocolate chip waffles with butter pecan syrup topped with whip cream for breakfast. Yeah, they don't need the sugar buzz, but I got a feeling I will.gotta practice that grampa thing for next years arrival

Vegetarian pityil [pe-chill] which is basically some vegetables and peanut sambal (which is a brown spicy one with "peanut taste" having little pieces of peanut and such in it). Tasty and very spicy. My tongue was burning hotter than the fires of hell. And let me tell you, hell is hot.

Chicken breast with Ricotta cheese & something else, along with a Caesar salad with chicken, lots of salad and dressing and as for desert, I had a nice Tiramisu.
Yummy.
Alright... I bet this will get your mouths watering.
This weekend I had freshly cooked crab claws with homemade waldorf salad and crispy white bread.
It was actually a buffet with other seafood... but I stuck with the claws and lots of them.
Pandan rice, chicken and fresh garlic.

Every 6 months or so, one of our co-workers trashes her computer, and Mrs. Kukri visits her house and fixes it.
In trade she makes us a big meal (she's an excellent cook, if a plodding Luddite with electronics). Tomorrow night's menu at Jenny's house:
Pasta Primavera
For you connoisseurs out there, what wine do I bring, in your opinion (serving 4 people)?
Tristuskhan
08-03-2007, 20:58
Pasta primavera? Nevermind it's Italian cuisine, bring two bottles of rather old (at least 6-7 years old) Rioja, if you can afford it. Well, three bottles for four people... Bring a fouth one. Trust a Frenchman! Those old spanish wines are just... brewage for the Gods, with that slight taste of cinnamon.

Thanks for the tip. I found some 2002 at my local wine merchants shop; some say that was not the best year, but WineExpress (http://www.wineexpress.com/shopping/prod_detail/main.asp?cat=WBR&sl=0&catid=17&productID=21375&uid=C71B4A8F-5E28-4103-ACEA-7816CE0904AA) gives it a pretty good review (although they pair it with roast/grilled pork).
If there are no other recommendations, I'm going for it. Thanks again. :bow:

Great, I had a look at the link you gave, and more or less 13 euros a bottle seems a good deal. Just make sure you open the bottles at least two hours before you drink them, in order to let the wine breathe a bit, be less astringent and express all it's flavours.

Well I'm an aussie and we have these err 'spring rolls' called Chicko rolls. They are very different to spring rolls and very nice and cheap. So recently I had some lasagne and thought it'd be nice to throw in a chicko roll or two and see what it's like. YUM!

After-action report: That was a great hit at dinner last night! We sat in the cool southern california dusk, on their sunset-facing patio, snacking on black olives, sipping that first Rioja, discussing medicine, law, old movies, and comedians.
Moving indoors, we enjoyed cucumber and beet salads, then Jenny's pasta primavera, the second bottle of Rioja, and anlayzed all our co-workers.
Retiring back to the patio (they had mercy on me, the lone cigarette smoker), we polished off the third bottle, and solved ALL of life's problems.
A fine evening, and full bellys, were had by all, lubricated by an excellent wine.
Pasta with red sauce with beef.
It's in the oven cooking now, but I'm sure it's still going to be the best thing I ate today.
Two pizzas made on Indian Nan onion bread with roast chicken and lots of skin(!), red peppers, spinach, old cheddar and lots of hot peppers. And a Stella Artois.
Not bad at all.

Quarter Past One in the Morning here in Britain and have just decided to semi-randomly concoct a good old British fry up - sausages, scrambled egg, fried potato wedges, haggis, black pudding - the lot. Haven't had anything like this at home for quite a while. It makes a lovely variation compared to the regular cereal or toast!

Dear god, Martok, enough spoilers? I was getting to the point where I was like, "Hey, this thing does end, right?" Anyways, as for a delicious meal, well, I didn't have much anything too fancy, just a good ol' home burger with cheese. I must admit, I'm rather jealous of Prole's crab meal. Unfortunately, we don't get much crab in Iowa, let alone getting the really good crab.
Have mercy! I actually clicked through all those spoiler tags, Sammy. :P
Mercy granted. I cut the number of spoilers in half. ~;)

Well I second greaterkhaan in admitting to a certain amount of envy -- it's been a long while since I've treated myself to decent seafood! That said, the meatball sub sandwich I had for lunch today was still very satisfying. :2thumbsup:
Best as in good tasting, or as in healthy?
For #1, I'd say my bar of white chocolate with nuts. it was excellent. (for results, see my pictues in backroom thread)
for #2.. hmmm good question. I think the sandwich with cheese and apple (I love the combo.. try some time!). I tasted quite good as well.

Long workday (11 hours; god, how did my Dad do it? He routinely put in 12-14 hour shifts his whole life.), so left-overs, with liguine.
Saturday's Roast chicken, Sunday's roast pork, green beans, snap peas, all cut to half-inch cubes, quick-fried in a super-hot pan with sesame oil for about a minute;
add the already cooked pasta, turn off the heat, cover for 5 minutes, shaking the pan a couple times to mix.
Uncover, drizzle with basalmic vinegar & olive oil.
Not horrible, for leftovers. And quick - about 15 minutes from refrigerator to table.
Beer helps. :)
