I made couscous with bulgar (minty raisiny kind of couscous) and I want to eat too much of it now.

[mitch777]

That ^ doesn't even sound good.

On the other hand I think I fed my cats better tonight than I did myself. Did a bit of running around tonight and popped in a Mrs. Buds chicken pot pie. Cats had chopped fresh chicken breast.

[mecch]

Well I meant to type Tabouleh not "couscous"

Sounded like crap to me, didn't want to knock it, but each to their own.

Correction makes it much more appetizing.

[mitch777]

This one looks tasty.

It's all about D'Artagnan duck and veal stock to make quick demi-glace sauce for meat. Totes my new thing. Whisk in some panko and butter and perfection arrives for a think pork chop or steak.

Obviously a recipe 'acquired' from your fave restaurant.

[initforlife]

Us rednecks tend to like the coon steak with eyeball gravy. Think I will invite the Irish over for some good grub tonight. What do you say Irish?

No, not really -- but I've always been a huge fan of a proper steak au poivre so my next task is to use it for this. I'll need to pick up a few things though first.

ps: I'm making simple cheeseburgers this evening before continuing my PBS/Ken Burns "The Roosevelts" marathon.

Sounds absolutely delosh. (as he heaves)

Fortunately I have dinner plans with The Latin. God knows what it will entail.

Last month he was out and invited me to join him for dinner.
Met at Pei Wei, fast food restaurant Asian crap. I purposely stalled at the cash register giving him more than enough time to get his wallet out and pay.
He had $1 in it. I Paid.

Last week we planned dinner. (I like white table cloths and proper service).
I pick him up, he's wearin flip flops, shorts and sleeveless t shirt.

San Diego restaurants are pertty casual. It wasn't till we were approaching restaurant that I started to worry if they may had a dress code.

They did, but wasn't the shorts and flip flops but the sleeveless shirt they had an issue with. Either we sit in the corner near the bar or they would lend him a shirt. We sat by the bar.

So tonight I am totally at his mercy. Crap knows where we'll end up.

[Miss Philicia]

You date someone that dines in flip flops? How gauche.

... for both of you

Miss P would hate my fried chicken shirt I break out to binge on fried chicken in my lazy boy recliner .

If you wear the rhinestone flip flops down here that's considered black tie attire so good to go. don't knock the flip flops they are so hip now days!

[wolfter]

I actually prepared a meal this evening.  Even used the stove for the 2nd time.  And gasp....2 different fried foods.  Fried green maters and fried taters with onions.  And of course, a delicious salad.

Well I'm typically more than presentable/prepared for anything, he's overly SoCal casual 24/7.
Talk about ying & yang.
It's practically comical.

Looks so yummy.  I love fried green tomatoes, and have not had any yet this season (which is almost over).

Well it was outback Steakhouse. How apropro. :/

As for attire, he was all dressed up.
Flip flops, shorts and a long sleeve t-shirt.

I was 'chomping at the bit' to take a photo but convinced myself not to as I don't know how to upload. (yes I've read the instructions posted, downloaded 2 diff apps and then gotten fed up with it. You should be thankful).

He's def a class act. LMAO

I wish I would have read this yesterday, I would have gone out and gotten one (cheeseburger).  That actually sounds good, even though it's only 6:00 am.

I missed it to Betty , Is it too late to celebrate today?.

Edit: I think I mixed my to/too's up, I can never remember which goes where. So I shall just let it stand.

Post-wasted neurologist appointment in the brand new 3737 Market St U-Penn Science Center I had my choice of (authentic) Szechuan @ Handy Nasty or hipster fried chicken & donuts at Federal Donuts (fried chicken is dusted with moussa -- parsley, onion, saffron, coriander, cumin, sumac -- and I have Chocolate-Peanut Butter, Orange Dream and Cinnamon-Brown Sugar donuts, two each... for breakfast/dessert.

BUT I ALSO HAVE TWO LEFTOVER CHEESEBURGERS TO MAKE IN THE FRIDGE TONIGHT

Please stop referring to that "White Castle" garbage as though they are real cheeseburgers

[Miss Philicia]

No, these are homemade ones -- heating them up now with sharp New York cheddar, bermuda onions and a kosher dill spear on the side. Mayo and Dijon on toasted poppyseed bun.

Now that's something I can sink my teeth into, although I'm not exactly sure what a bermuda onion is.

Everyone knows it's code for East coast twink in short shorts, Argyle socks and dress shoes.

Bite that !

Uh, no girl -- we were all doing (striped or Pablo) Castaner espadrilles this season, no socks. Alas, time to prep for autumn with Balmain high tops in reflective silver.

We have a segment on our local news here called  " Dirty Dining"  Once a week they rate a restaurant after getting inspection reports, or if they heard it's been temp shut down, by the health dept.

Gives us some conversation with others , when we're out at the bar, on where NOT to eat !

We can't let this thread die especially now that I've become a carnivore.  In my depressive state last night, I ordered a fat ladden, high calorie cheeseburger.  Bonnie already started to write down my typical salad order and seemed shocked. 

I'm sure she doesn't want me ordering in this manner though.  I was very specific about it being extra, extra well done.  Then when it was done, chop it into small pieces and continue cooking it.  Smothered with swiss cheese and A1 sauce completed the transition.

I think it great you are expanding your menus to include meat. I feel better when I eat a low calorie low carb diet but I start to feel unhealthy when I don't get enough protein .

Oh please, this thread will most likely outlive most of us. It has taken on a mind of its own.

Since we are talking about meat (steak), I've noticed lately that I've developed a (hopefully temporary) distaste for steak. Mind you I live in South Texas and I am accustomed to eating steak a couple times a week. But seriously the last 3 steaks, Ribeyes, have made me nauseated. I am not even craving it anymore. Weird.

I HAVE HOWEVER, fallen head over heels in love with Olive Garden's Salad. Last week I ordered 4 take out salads from them. Just the plain old house salad they serve.

   All I can tell you is "Olive Garden "  is packed,  down here between 12:00 and and 2:00 in the afternoon.  It is almost impossible to find a parking spot. We drive past it everyday, and when we do Ed and I look at each other and wonder, what the appeal is or what's going on, that they are always packed Monday through Friday in this time slot ! 

I've also got to say, it's been about 15 years since I was in an Olive garden, but we may have to check it out again, to see just exactly, what's going on in this place that draws such a crowd !

EDITED TO ADD:  Maybe it's the senior special's,  if there is a bargain. we will find it !

o

They do and it is always packed . I think they are an  over priced place for salad and bread sticks. I know there are other things on the menu but still over priced . Cracker Barrel yum yum and the price is always right

What got me started on my OG salad crush was the other night some friends brought dinner over from Olive Garden, and so I ordered the Lasagna, I mean how can you fuck up lasagna right? Well it was horrible, It looked like they just mixed everything together in a big industrial sized pot. Isnt lasagan supposed to be layered? But anyways, with the lasagana came their salad, and holy shit it was good.

I took a break from their salad tonight and I am eating a Dole bagged Ceasar Salad with some Buitonni Raviolis. You jellz p?
