What Are You Eating Tonight?

[Brónach 1,330]

My uncle ate a sort of tarantula once. He says it tasted good.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

That's all nice and all but I asked you.

[Brónach 1,330]

I have no idea!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

The answer to my question is either yes or no.

[Wojo 2,458]

Either deep fried or with enough ketchup, anything can taste good.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

you've never eaten chitlins.

I have a pot luck tomorrow. I was going to bring Chicken Spaghetti but someone wanted to bring that so I made an old fashioned macaroni and cheese with a very creamy cheese sauce with 3 cheeses and topped with a thick layer of a white extra sharp Vermont Cheddar.

still it's one of those foods that I just don't care for. I make it well but even as a kid I never cared for it.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,390]

Tarantula?

If I am sure it has been prepared properly, then yes.

I would eat dog or cat under the right circumstances.

about the mac and cheese.... Any left overs? Just READING about it sounded good.. = )

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Show....

I double stacked it in a deep casserole dish rather than one thin layer, I filled it halfway then topped it with a ton of cheese, poured more mac & cheese on top and the added the rest of the cheddar.

right now I'm eating this cinnamon roll bread pudding someone made for breakfast. HEAVEN.

[gkgyver 1,647]

Cat tail on a stick?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,390]

Grilled chicken, marinated Joeinar style. Mushrooms and onions

[gkgyver 1,647]

And the white stuff? Joeinar semen?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,390]

Dont be disgusting!

Aioli!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,390]

Spicy chicken with kidney beans, onions, garlic and taters

[gkgyver 1,647]

Plenty of vinegar I hope.

And don't tell me not to be disgusting, direct your energy towards more fruitous goals.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,390]

Vinegar?

Only a dash to tenderize the chicken

[JoeinAR 1,957]

And the white stuff? Joeinar semen?

You're a disgusting sow.

Joeinar style can mean its marinated in soy pineapple juice and ginger & garlic

Or soaked in buttermilk.

[Ollie 1,375]

Grilled sirloin steak, baked potatos and a salad.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Grilled sirloin steak, baked potatos and a salad.

This is a meal Alice needs to try.

hell I need to have it for supper.

[Ollie 1,375]

It was good.

I didn't even have to season the meat. In fact I rarely do. The natural flavors are good enough.

[Brónach 1,330]

Strawberries.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,390]

Or soaked in buttermilk.

With some garlic!

[gkgyver 1,647]

I don't think so.

Vinegar? Only a dash to tenderize the chicken

I mean the potatos. What's a potato salad without vinegar? It heightens the taste.

I don't think so.

hehe... you're observant. I like that.

baked potato sounds sooo good though. haven't had taters in months

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Potato skin pizzas tonight. Side of mashed potatoes. With some Pear Cider.

Wild combo? Yes.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,390]

Its not a potato salad!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

If Alice tried my marinared skirt steak she'd swoon.

I'm trying to talk Dave into Chinese for supper.

[gkgyver 1,647]

Nope.

Observation is elementary, my dear Wats ... eh, Alice.

Why no potatos? They're good, nice and healthy.

I had plain bread with a good Stilton.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,390]

Potatoes have carbs, carbs are evil! Like the Hitler of foods.

Joe, Alice would not accept your piece of meat even if you dangled it on front of her...

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

Alice is vegetarian now?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,390]

Is she? I was making a crude sexual comment!

[Ollie 1,375]

Her loss.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

I'm losing my ability to keep up with this place and its humor!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

but Stefan it's marinated in vegetables and fruits. I think I will marinate some tofu in the same marinade and then fry it.

And G let Alice make answer for herself. She's quite capable of saying No in her own voice. .

[Ollie 1,375]

I'm losing my ability to keep up with this place and its humor!

I didn't see any humor, I was just commenting on her being a veggie only eater.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

I was referring to Steef's innuendo.

Vegetarians offend me.

[alicebrallice 134]

Why no potatos? They're good, nice and healthy.

you think I can eat potatoes, pasta, rice etc daily + stuff my face with chocolate once in a while and still have this bod?

I choose chocolate every time! nah, but I actually prefer broccoli, carrots, cauliflower etc

Her loss.

yeah. I guess it was a big... missedsteak.

[gkgyver 1,647]

Potatoes have carbs, carbs are evil!

Don't talk rubbish. Potatos are good carbs.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,110]

I choose chocolate every time! nah, but I actually prefer...cauliflower...

Aww, shucks!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Potatoes are wonderful,

they are wonderful steamed, boiled, baked, grilled, roasted, stir fried, pan fried, and deep fried.

Dave nixed Chinese since he's exhausted from mowing and doesn't want to go out.

[alicebrallice 134]

I choose chocolate every time! nah, but I actually prefer...cauliflower...

Aww, shucks!

yeah, you! you taste fingerlickingly good with some garlic and chili pepper.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,390]

I would not mind eating Blumenkohl!

[gkgyver 1,647]

My dear, let me give you one piece of advice. Potatos, rice, pasta etc are not all the same. They're all carbs, but they're different, not least of all in calories. 100g boiled potatos have 70 kcal, 100g pasta 350 kcal, and 100g boiled rice 125 kcal. A banana has more calories than a handful of potatos.

Of these three, pasta is the least valuable food. Rice (if it's a good, non-processed rice) is a very good source for minerals and keeps you filled for a longer time. Potatos are very rich in Vitamic C, B1 and B2, and of all vegetables, it has the highest and most valuable amount of essential proteins.

And this is between you and me (others would likely disagree) because from what I read in your posts, you're keen to get organic food. Most people think healthy eating is about calories or few carbs or whatever. In order to have a healthy diet, the most important thing is that the food is organic, meaning a very high bioavailability (which already excludes an abundance of meat). Equally important is that it has to be prepared properly in order to preserve vitamins etc, and that it is combined properly in order to be fully digestible (never mix carbs with protein). And the usage of spices and herbs helps greatly as well.

Of course, if you permanently eat more calories than you burn, you'll gain some weight, but that doesn't have to mean you're unhealthy.

If you keep a good diet, the right weight will come automatically. Excluding good carbs (not counting masses of pasta and white bread) doesn't do anything except depraving you of something.

If you have an active lifestyle (and something tells me you kind of do), a reasonable amount of potatos or rice every week is really not a problem. Having veggies with it keeps you longer filled, too. As a general rule, if you do eat very few carbs, then include slight more essential fats, either in the form of some nuts and seeds (even though you have your share of nuts at JWfan ) or good oils. Pomegranate oil is very good or linseed oil, or a mixture of oils.

Eating mostly vegetarian (I do remember you having chicken though) is a very good basis, despite what anyone might say, you just have to do it properly and know a few things.

I'd be quite proud if you eventually left meat completely alone

Aaaanyway, maybe I was of some service.

Everytime I read "organic food" I make a weird face.

Not a problem, nobody really explains what it means, and it's getting increasingly more rare.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,390]

No its not

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Organic food is all the rage in the U.S. Places like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's where the same groceries cost twice as much!

I'm pretty sure North America is the only place you really find GMO foods. The rest of the world is for all intents and purposes "organic."

There's organic options here, but it's for quacks who still believe and perpetuate unfounded myths about organic vs. GMO.
