The other day I grabbed a 'supreme' sub from the grocery store which, well, I'm afraid to say wasn't all that SUPREME imo.
However, I diced up some artichoke hearts and some pickled mushrooms and slathered it on that bad boy and made it my own....SUB-preme, if you will, and it was p drat good.

Well thanks so much for reading.

well it turns out I didn't even though I wanted to :(
I had to make a run to a gas station and it has a burger king attached to it so I got something called an 'egg-normous burrito' and asked them to add tomato to it which seemed to annoy the staff greatly and also I can tell you that it was not very good and that 'tater tots' should not be considered an appropriate burrito topping, even for a morning burrito.
However, the orange juice I got with it was ok because it's pretty hard to gently caress up actual orange juice that isn't like, Sunny-D style "orange drink" poo poo.


WELL that is my breakfast story and I want to just take a moment and thank each of you personally for reading and contemplating this moment of my life.

It's in Kenosha. Los Taquitos. We have some decent Mexican food here.

Green Bay also has several, and I do mean SEVERAL authentic, great Mexican places.
People will read "Kenosha? ...loving Green Bay?...MEXICAN food?!" and start laughing but it is absolutely legit.

Tacos Burritos Mexico in downtown GB even used to support my game day habit of their off the menu mexican style burrito suizo con lengua.
You know the place is legit when the counter is plexi-glass faced and posted with pictures of fighting roosters.

e: also when the guy behind the counter recognizes you and starts laughing at you as "that white boy who wants his lengua again" to the cooks and you can tell him to shut the gently caress up and he just laughs and they all wave whatever utensils they have at you. I miss that place. They have a few locations now actually, but the first one, on Main St. was a god drat classic.

Leftover rear end is a dish best served...not really reheated in the microwave, but where one part of the rear end is sorta room temperature and one part is really hot but also extremely wet and soft and all you can think of is that the whole rear end would have been best left cold.

Bob's Burgers Burger of the day needs to be:

"My Bleatin' Heart - Lamburger"


ty that is all.

e: well almost. For dinner (not lunch lo siento) I'm marinading some chicken breasts and thighs in greek yogurt, lemon, lots of garlic, fresh thyme, cilantro (green coriander for you nonUS folks), all of which I blended into a smoothie (sans the chicken, obv) sealed in a bag that I'm gently palpating hourly or so, which I'm going to skewer and grill over charcoal and serve with pitas, with spreadable herb goat cheese, red onion, and home grown tomatoes and cucumbers

And Valko I wanted to compliment you on your turkey burgers, they looked great. Please come to Wisconsin I have literal dozens of turkeys meandering through my yard this time of year and have to pause for the big buggers as I leave my driveway or go up and down my little access road. If you could help thin them out just a bit it'd be appreciated. They ate almost 50% of my raspberries this year and the deer have taken my apples, so I feel like something is owed.

I have a deluxe sandwich from the store :/ BUT

I have some 'italian' style marinaded chicken breasts in the sous vide at 141f and am attempting to make cheesy jasmine rice in my rice cooker, both of which I have set to finish at approximately the same time this evening that I'm done steaming broccoli.
So for dinner I should have perfectly done chicken, cheese rice, and steamed broccoli with lemon, which I'm looking forward too.

I'm interested in how the cheesy rice comes out of the rice cooker. I wanted to see if I could get away with doing rice and broccoli in the same set up but I'm like 100% sure I'd end up with destroyed broccoli florets and no one wants that.

just an fyi my goal is to get them chicken breasts all gummed up as poo poo and slimed them out of their ooze packet and present them as is with no further prep
The last one I took was a Kwik-Trip deluxe with a slice of tomato.

just squeezed right out of the vac pac with the gray goo right onto the plate in front of crying children and ask people what's wrong with them for not eating that tender meat because I'm a chef, now

e: if you want to see I can take photos. I don't actually have kids but I can prob take pics of un-vac'ing. and trying to make it pretty.

So I was inspired and went out and got collards and smoked pork chops (They didn't have ham hocks OR turkey legs, da FUQ) and I'mma try doin em up in my instapot and see how she goes. Apparently people have tons of success with this according to The Internet and it seems a perfect application, so it's ready to pop off.

I tried to get a WHOPPER from the burger king at the country gas station where I live but they had barricaded the drat thing off with a pickup truck and were patching the drive-through with a cement truck.

It. Figures!


On a side note; I tried to use salt to cure cod fillets and while it did firm up the fish nicely and I did rinse them off, even broiling them with an oil based sauce (a poppyseed dressing) left them too salty to be edible. Which is a shame, because I've tried that method prior and found it to be great in flaking up the fish nicely and giving it a good salty 'hue' without overpowering it all, but this time, drat, I over-done myself and just got salted fish-bricks. Son of a gun.

To add to the story though, I gave each of my two dogs a good honkin' chunk off the end of one of the two cod fillets and they went so wild for it that I felt compelled to take the trash out after throwing away the tinfoil from the baking sheet I made it on because I thought my two docile hounds who normally don't get people food might go feral for over-salted mock lobster. So I've got two critics in my corner.

There's one company that seems to have the market on all grocery store sushi around here. It's not terrible but there's a certain taste to it I just don't like. At least they roll it there in front of you. But it's $5 on Wednesdays so that's something.

If it's the same one up here (they do the $5 Weds too) it's because they put that sweet mayo sriracha goop on every goddamn thing.

in an ode to american gluttony as well as being inspired by the reuben pizzas in the pizza thread, I've decided to go for it.

I peeled, diced, and blanched several baking potatoes.
I caramelized 1 very large spanish onion.
I chopped up approximately 1/2 lb of sliced corned beef (intended for sandwiches)
a little less than 2 cups of strained and drained sauerkraut

I have mixed these things together with several good dollops of thousand island dressing, and a handful of shredded swiss cheese.
Poured it into a casserole dish, and then covered it with more swiss cheese.


...I intend to bake a reuben potato casserole.

I have an update on this btw!

It turned out wonderfully. Think...slightly sloppy scalloped potatoes (not from the liquids but from the rough cut potatoes) but with the flavors you'd expect from the recipe. The one problem is that I did not blanch/parboil the potatoes just quite long enough. They ARE cooked. They're at that stage of potato'i'ness where it's clear that they're 'done' but not quite soft enough to mash, and I wish that they were. Because I'd like to easily mash them to sop up the juices of this. That's my only regret.

I will TOTALLY do this again. It was awesome.

I prefer drummettes to the wings but it seems like places don't offer them any more. I dunno if it's a cost thing, or others don't like them, or what but if I could get just those, I'll take 'em. I also like 'spicy asian' or whatever the equivalent is as a sauce. It's never ACTUALLY spicy, I just dig it.

TECHNICALLY lunch even though it's late, my wife is out of town so I hit up our favorite asian take out place
and got salt and pepper shrimp (They're full, head on prawns with slivered onions and jalapenos, they're beautiful), pork belly, and spring rolls AND hand made lemonade for < $30 and have enough food to feed a family of four, or me, the entire time she's gone. I love this place and if you can give them a shout, or you're in the area for any reason, hit 'em up.



ps: The spring rolls are like 4.99, the size of burritos, come with shrimp and blanched chicken and come two to a pack. It's easily closing in on 2 lbs, on a box of 2 spring rolls.

And they say America has no culture. I'm in Green Bay, for Pete's sake!

I've been to a place like that (once or so) and I always kinda wondered how they got it done and kept it round. A meatloaf you can bake, but it'll be flat, obv. But for a ball, I assume you gotta DUNK that bad boi and blanch it maybe? And then finish it? Nowadays I'm sure they do some fancy poo poo like freeze it in a mold and sous it and then pan fry it or whatever but back in the day...MAMA MIA how you gonna keepa them firm meety ball!!?
