ITT show us the stuff you ate.
Was it good? Bad? What's in it? Did you make it or were you at a restaurant?
I'll go first:
Hard boiled egg, sliced in half with salt and pepper, sambal and a little drizzle of soy. Notice how the soy seeps into the little cracks of the egg after sitting for a minute.

It was delicious.
ooooh cool that's a novel way of eating hardboil egg I never considered! i'm gonna try this soon!
That actually makes me want to eat a hardboiled egg for once in my life.
EAT IT!!
in your face hoooooooooole
Those eggs look goddamn GOOD!
I just ate skirt steak cooked in bacon grease over low heat for 15 minutes per side, served with mushrooms cooked in the steak pan and cabbage cooked in the same pan while the steak and mushrooms sat, with crumbled bacon and onions steeped in butter as a steak dressing.
Skirt steak is my favorite!
PICTUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE!!!!!!!!!
Where was this thread last night when I made depressing ass chicken and rice? It was a failure pile in a sadness bowl, and I felt the need to share my empty experience.
Two pieces of toast, a tomato, maybe a few pickles for variety, and a tablespoon - tablespoon and a half of mayonnaise.
I've been losing weight like crazy, and this is practically all I eat after breakfast tiem.

Well if you didn't get a picture of this miserable failbowl you'd better get a shot of the turd you produce to make up for it. (no not really, in fact you'd
better not)
Tell us what was in this chicken and rice that made it so bad...
I think the problem was that it was a depressing ass-chicken.
It was this uninspired sauteed chicken breast with salt and no spices with goopy fucking rice, I hate fucking goopy rice, with a bunch of cheap soy sauce. God help me, I ate all of it.
I don't know what compelled me to even make it. I was spending my entire day studying statistics and calculus, my head was just not in the kitchen.

Say no more. I hate math.
Today:
TEA EGGS--
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/teaeggs.jpg)
boil your eggs for about 4-5 minutes then crack them with the back of a spoon (don't peel yet)
put them back into a pot of water with anise, cinnamon stick, 5 spice powder, loose black tea (i was out so i used masala tea bags), regular soy and thick sweet soy. Simmer this for at least and hour and for best results leave them submerged overnight.
I didn't have all night.
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/teaeggs2.jpg)
They look zalgo ish.
Are they good?
indeed they are
a little salty, slightly sweet with a bit of spice.
i had some with just salt and pepper, some with sambal, or sriracha and a couple w/ a bit of mayo.
very good
Oooooh! Want! I will have to try that. Even though I now seem to be allergic to all eggs, all the time. :(

Well, maybe you should keep your dick out of it then.

OSHI--have to give this recipe to my husband...he makes the kids boiled eggs for breakfast sometimes. THIS kinda ramps it up about 3 notches...
kids love this shit
Two nopales tacos and one bisteck.
Delicious. I got them at the mexican place across the street where they don't speak english. They have the best damn food around I tell ya what.
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/tacos.jpg)
I really need to try those tea eggs.
Nopales are DA BOMB. I haven't had them in FOREVER. Gotta make 'em again.
I'm gonna try those hardboiled egg recipes some time, both of them. Particularly because Squid understands the glory that is sambal chili paste (I eat it on my sunny-side-up eggs with toast nearly every morning).
I'd put that shit on anything. Yeah you heard me. Even cake bitches.

It has strong elements of facepalm and lail.

FACT: Little hole-in-the-wall mom and pop Hispanic/Caribbean restaurants are, by far, the best restaurants ANYWHERE. I have one around the corner from my house that I desperately need to try. I have never once been disappointed going into one of these places. Why? The food is authentic, made by people who care, and even if they don't speak English well or at all, they treat you like family.
:lulz: they treat us like "the white people"
:lulz: but they tolerate us and the food is good so we keep going back and we tip good since we butcher their language.

Lol. All you gotta do is pay them for food and be nice. Let them laugh later.
:news:
Mr Squid figured out how to cook the nopales!
oh yeah. it's on.
They're not hard, I haven't done "fresh" yet, though...someone had already sliced/diced and I think pickled? them for us...
Oh my. Look what I made today.
My very first attempt at making candy and it actually TURNED OUT!
Fleur de sel caramels. Oh goodness they're tasty. Sweet but not too sweet and a touch of salt.
I had a thermometer and everything.
Awe :)
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/caramels.jpg)
recipe plz
I used this one
http://www.sweetnapa.com/2006/03/08/fleur-de-sel-caramels.html
Looks tasty, but I am distracted by something: What did you take the picture on?
It was a white ceramic plate and I used the flash and the "food" setting on the camera.
It's kind of mesmerizing.
I was astounded at how well that pic came out (I'm getting better at this photography thing)
The pics without the flash looked like little turds sitting on a plate. It was pretty unflattering.
But the flash totally washed out the plate so it looks like glistening caramels floating in white space.
mmm...love that candy--had it during the holiday time, and I think at some specialty chocolate shop near us that makes Peruvian chocolate candy. WANT, SQUID!
Tonight's dinner
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/pizza.jpg)
Mr Squid's home made pizza with roasted eggplant and asparagus, sliced tomatoes, basil and cheese.
No that's not a Chimay it's a glass of Morimoto Black Obi Soba Ale by Rogue that my friend brought over yesterday. I'll tell ya all about it in my beer thread.
YUMMMMMMMM
Today I went here
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/hindutemple.jpg)
And had a giant dosa with dal
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/dosa.jpg)
and some yogurt rice
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/yogurtrice.jpg)
and a mango lassi in a little plastic cup. This meal for one cost a total of 6 dollars. Hell yeah. The rice is sittin in my fridge waiting for breakfast cause it was too much food for me to finish.
Also, that mango lassi from the cooler in the crappy plastic cup (for ONE dollar!!) was the best lassi I've ever had. From here to New York.
Lassi rules.
Nice find!
YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM!
I HAS ENVY!
We makes da lassi here...should post a recipe, shouldn't I? We like the fresh mango we puree ourselves rather than the canned...
I will post my dough (pronounced with a harsh "gghhh" like you're clearing your throat) recipes anon.
I want recipes!!
damnit.
Also, in NY I had:
DUCK BUN!!
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/duckbun.jpg)
Grimaldi's Pizza (coal oven)
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/Grimaldis.jpg)
Orval, Hitachino Nest red rice ale, duck prosciutto
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/foodandbeer.jpg)
Cumin lamb noodles, hand made right when you order em noodles. Oh yeah.
(http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f45/Squidoid667/lambnoodle.jpg)
Of course there was a lot more stuff that I didn't get photos of, like at Morimoto, when I really SHOULD have been snapping photos... like a tourist. Oh well.
What the fuck is all that delicious food doing on the other side of the country?
NYC is a foodie's wet dream.
Why you think I keep going back every year?
BUMP for tea eggs.
