What Are You Eating Tonight?

[Ren 77]

Alice smoked is great

Here's two recipes of "throw shit in a bag, freeze till ready, then put in a slow cooker"

1 cup Dijon mustard

1/2 cup maple syrup

2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar

Go a little less on the mustard IMHO

Add that and 1.5+ pounds chicken breast to a gallon freezer bag. Mix and freeze. Cook on low 6-8 hours in a slow cooker. Serve with rice or noodles

So that's maple Dijon chicken. Next up garlic ranch chicken

3 large chicken breasts

A bunch (how ever garlicky you like your chicken) of cloves of minced garlic

1 bottle of ranch dressing

Throw shit in a bag, mix freeze. Cook on low 6-8 hours serve with rice or noodles

[Jilal 681]

Is it made from real rats.

FYI... In Ghent there's this awesome shop that sells real quality mustard. It's called "Tierenteyn". Delicious.

If anyone gets there for the film music festival next year, you should buy a jar of that.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

We might have to go for our anniversary.

How many years now?

6 as far as knowing each other. 4 years as far as living together.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Congratulations.

Leftovers

Ren those chicken recipes sound good!

[Ren 77]

They are fabulous

[Brónach 1,330]

Made up something with marrow and broccoli and cheese and curry.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

They are fabulous

We will see tomorrow when I've made then!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

Made up something with marrow and broccoli and cheese and curry.

what do you mean by marrow.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Bone marrow? It's quite delicious but I've never heard of it being implemented as a main ingredient in dishes before.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

yes but marrow from what.

[gkgyver 1,647]

I heard that the real, original Risotto Milanese has cow bone marrow in it.

[Brónach 1,330]

I was mistaken. I looked up calabacín in a dictionary and it said marrow. I meant Cucurbita pepo.

Bone marrow? It's quite delicious but I've never heard of it being implemented as a main ingredient in dishes before.

I have seen it as an ingredient, actually.

[alicebrallice 134]

zucchini? love that stuff.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Mac & Cheese

250 grams of Macaroni

175 to 200 grams of shredded cheese (I used Gouda)

2 teaspoons of Olive Oil

1 cup of evaporated milk

half a table spoon of salt

one quarter a tablespoon of pepper

4 tablespoons of melted butter

Cook the macaroni according to specifications, then put it in a slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients and cook for about 2,5 to 3 hours. Occasionally stir.

If desired after cooking scoop the mac and cheese in an oven dish, sprinkle some cheese on top and cook it in the over for a little while.

[gkgyver 1,647]

Cooking maccaroni for two hours? Surely not.

[Jay 46,241]

In a slow cooker, sure.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

I don't actually own one. I use my rice cooker that has a "warm" setting, meant for just keeping the rice warm.

Slow cookers don't seem to be very typical here.

[gkgyver 1,647]

I don't see the point in using a slow cooker when the pasta is already done ...? Why can't you just set your oven on low temperature, like 100 degrees, and let the cheese melt in there with all the ingredients? Faster, healthier, lower energy costs.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

That is also an option.

[Brónach 1,330]

I just ate an enormous amount of yogurt.

Criticize all you want

[hornist 1,261]

Beautiful 2,1 kg salmon-fillet from Norway. It's Sushi party. Who will join?

Made some Sahsimi, Magi & Nigiri

[Ren 77]

How is heating an entire oven lower energy

[Wojo 2,458]

I am an electrical engineer. Don't use low energy options or you'll put us out of work...

[Ren 77]

Lol

[Wojo 2,458]

Slow cookers are good for soups

[Jay 46,241]

Slow cookers are used for far, far more many things than cooking pasta

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Meat too it seems

slow cookers use far LESS energy than does an oven.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

My mom's home made chicken soup and some tortillas.

Manna from heaven!

[JoeinAR 1,957]

I'm absolutely at a loss for what I should fix, I need to grocery shop. I need some extra sharp white cheddar.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Go for it!

[gkgyver 1,647]

Ordering in today, as I got home late.

Chicken breast, lemon-mustard sauce, fries and tsatsiki.

[alicebrallice 134]

omelette, ciabatta with cream cheese and grave-salmon and an avocado, cherry tomato & feta cheese salad.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Maybe I should start giving feta a chance.

[alicebrallice 134]

can't live without it!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Oh all right then, you've convinced me!

[alicebrallice 134]

hah!

honestly, I eat it almost every day. maybe you could start off with a mild feta? french ones are usually pretty mild.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Yes I do prefer French to Greek in other things too....

[Jay 46,241]

Ate way too much food during football this afternoon to need dinner tonight. My friend and my girlfriend conspired together and made buffalo chicken rangoons, which were heavenly. There was also fried mozzarella sticks, tortilla chips with an amazing smoky peach salsa, and an awesome death by chocolate trifle

[alicebrallice 134]

feast! sounds amazing.

[Brónach 1,330]

I made a sort of complicated homemade hamburger (the meat were actually chicken wings) plus some bananas and pears.

[alicebrallice 134]

did you have the fruit with the burger or as dessert? and also, did you have some sort of dressing on the burger?

I'm hungry.

[gkgyver 1,647]

can't live without it!

+1

I love practically every type of it, but go for the cow feta only when I have no other option. I prefer the sheep/goat milk blend, but if I want it a bit stronger, I take the pure sheep milk feta.

And, of course, the more fat, the better.

Cut into dices, add a tomato, some lemon juice, some olive oil ...

I'm getting hungry again,

[Brónach 1,330]

did you have the fruit with the burger or as dessert? and also, did you have some sort of dressing on the burger?

I'm hungry.

As desert. Fruit's good if you want to eat a lot without filling your stomach and you're lazy to prepare anything.

I didn't use any sauce. Just meat, egg, salad stuff.

Mm, I'm hungry again.

[alicebrallice 134]

I'm getting hungry again,

feta isn't just a cheese, it's a lifestyle.

so simple yet so amazing.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Ok I'm sold!

I like Greek!

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Feta's a bit strong for my taste, although I haven't tried it too many times. I like it in my gyros.

[JoeinAR 1,957]

feta is good but there are dozens of other cheeses out there with similar uses. Jeez Stefan you're in nation with so many fantastic cheeses. Experiment.

right now in my fridge I have feta, extra sharp white cheddar, colby, parmesan, American, velveeta, swiss, and mozzarella.

WOJO,

how was your meal the other night. are you still full.
