What are you cooking tonight?

I got one of those roasted chickens from the grocery store and served it with steamed broccoli. Pretty good. I have now used up most of the cooking stuff in my kitchen, so it's time to give my dishwasher a workout.

 

I made some Stromboli but it ended up being soggy™.

 

Pork Verde burritos with cheese, rice and ghost pepper salsa. So good it brings tears to my eyes. Think that means it's good, at least.

Honey BBQ Pork ribs.

 

Guinness beef curry and rice.

 

Corned beef -- first time trying it in the Instant Pot, so I'm a bit anxious. Without cabbage, because no one hear really likes it, and without potatoes because trying to minimize carbohydrates. Also kale and rice; wife makes a wonderful steamed bread (a/k/a "Steam Bread) that goes well with everything (and slips some carbs back in). Probably a salad as well. I'm so tempted to slip out and buy a nice bottle of red wine, but I'm trying to minimize my alcohol intake.

 

Pork Medallions in Marsala with Mashed Potatoes. Simple to make, actually. Very Umami.

Umm, no green vegetable? Very disappointed.

 

I don't have a healthy diet. ;_;

Wife green curry, rice & sliced tomatoes, popadoms. Super executive Saturday utilises thigh hand-cut from bone.

Excellent on worthiness scoreboard.

 

You made curry out of your wife?!

 

She’s unemployed.

...
I’m working in the morning/highly unsuitable and menial role...as you understand, I’m sure.

 

Corned beef is one of those things that I always think I should like but I never do. Dunno, maybe I've never had it done right or something; I love corned beef hash (my wife calls it "dog food" and never competes with me for it.)

 

Corned beef reference receives automatic ‘like.’ One of the rituals -japes - of the early board members - if you recall noughties. Well done.

Tripe receives Followship.

 

Spicy Spaghetti Puttanesca, using homegrown La Romas.

Heat olive oil in skillet, sautee garlic, cayenne flakes, anchovies(2 or 3). Add pureed tomaotes, kalamata olives, capers, oregano, and basil. Cook it down for an hour and pour it over al dente spaghetti.

This is a personal favorite and just as unhealthy as all my food. But it does have green vegetables in it. Capers count, right? There's basil and oregano in there, too. ^^

That sounds almost like an ethnic slur

 

Supposedly it translates to Whore's Spaghetti? No idea if it really does. Pimps wanted something to pull in customers so they cooked a very fragrant and cheap pasta sauce. That's the legend, anyway.

"Meat glue"? Whiskey tango foxtrot is that? And how did you come up with a sauce?

 

It's called pastrami.
Making maps of deli places is called pastronomy.

 

Sounds tasty. I'll have one on toasted wheat with stone ground mustard please.

 

Aah, stop that! Now I want one, and it's just down the street! Lucky I'm too lazy to put my shoes on.

 

Shoot, I meant to get some of that. Somebody mentioned mixing it into ground beef and making spaghetti noodles out of meat, seems like a great idea to me.

 

Where I come from, that's called 'beaten egg.'
