See in Michigan we call it pop. Yes I know its the only place on the planet that calls it pop, but its pop

Also I drink milk by the gallons....so I think(in my mind at least) that it evens it out enough so I dont get the enjoyable stone

Its the calcium carbonate in the beverage(makes the bubbles!), and then calcium in the milk that will get ya if you dont drink water too. I got hammered with a series of them from also having mineral rich water

And if Helgrenze lived closer Id steal me some ribs!

Nom... hotdog.

shallots, orange and yellow bell peppers, habaneros, fresh garlic, franks red hot, black pepper (fresh). cook those al dente first...

then add steak cut for fajitas. brown...then..

add fajita spices. ....instead of adding water, poured in a bottle of a good IPA, let it simmer for 20 minutes and reduce...

top on a sun dried tomato tortilla with queso quesadilla, asadero, queso gallego, manchego, and enejo enchilado cheese.


and salad...

I drink about 3 liters of cola a day, plus tea and water, never had stone problems.
And the ribs were fall off the bone perfect. Later this week, I am doing boneless pork chops in the smoker..... thinking of Maple chips and a honey glaze.

Ok all this talk of smoked meat means I am doing some smoking tonight about 10 pounds of country ribs should do me just fine.

The coke z and diet D.R. Pepper don't taste nasty like diet Coke and they use something else in them not the nasty stuff

... Wheat thins.

Georgia is driving me crazy with it's lack of Cajun/Creole food,I've been here three years and have yet to find a decent "N'awlins style" resturant.
Honestly,I'd push an old lady down a flight of steps for a good bowl of gumbo (that I don't have to cook myself.)

theres only one real option for you....

start your own creole restaurant with a chef you like imported from your old stomping grounds

edit-its time for a moon pie

What the hell is a Moon-Pie

2 graham cookies sandwiching a healthy bit of marshmallow all covered in chocolate......

The funny thing is I've talked this idea over with both my Brother & my Girlfriend,both are cautiously supportive,biggest concern being the current economic climate in GA.
I would honestly love to own my own restaurant,as cooking is some what of a "tradition" in my family (my Moms side owned a bakery from the 30s up until the mid 80's),and most of the men in my family consider themselves the next Justin Willison (delusional lot we are).
On a side note,I rarely see Moon Pies here in GA. (wich is odd),except for at the occasional stop and shop & at Dave Poes ( a fantastic little BBQ place in Marietta GA. that I highly recomend). ... Hey,I just did a comercial.

mmmmmmm so easy to make.

Careful with that Ramen...

Well i've been living off the stuff for a few years now to no ill effect so i'll take my chances.

I thought rainbows were nutritious though...



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_noodles

According to a Japanese poll in the year 2000, instant noodles were the most important Japanese invention of the century. Karaoke came second, with the Compact Disc only coming in fifth. As of 2008, approximately 94 billion servings of instant noodles are eaten worldwide every year. China consumes 45 billion packages of instant noodles per year, or 48% of the world, Indonesia consumes 14 billion, Japan 5.1 billion. Per capita, South Korean people eat the highest number of instant noodles, 69 packages per year.

Goddamit, Japan...

Note: Oriental flavor scares me... What the hell is it? Cajun/creamy chicken is a bit ambiguous... but it still says chicken. Same with picante beef, which I have never actually seen before.

Oriental flavor is my favorite. I love chinese food but can rarely spare the extra money for the real thing so this is a sort of substitute. pork flavor is fail.

Shrimp flavor is fail... pork is not that bad.

I have never been reminded of chinese food, while eating oriental flavor. In my mind, top ramen just tastes like top ramen. Salty and reminiscent of boiled cardboard. I just overcook it so I can ignore the paper-like noodles.

it's cheap and quick. taste is low priority. mixed with leftover takeout it's actually pretty good though.

Just had some Tocino, and Fried Rice. Was awesome.

I will note with amusement- the low calorie soda will not compensate for the 10lbs of ribs if ya eat them by yourself )


But I believe coke zero uses Splenda rather than aspartame as a sweetener(hence the taste difference). I drink diet soda, except diet coke....its just not right....

And Im thinking of some marinated & fried tofu for dinner. You may scoff- but its damn tasty. Plus I just finished off the roast beef I made a few days ago and need my weekly does of veggies to offset that

Depends on what you marinate it with. I seen it soaked with Beef Fat, then fried. Supposed to come out tasting of beef. Will have to see if I can find that recipe.

Hehe- if I have beef fat around it means I jsut made some beef- and hence the tofu would get to hang out in the fridge I also have the tendency to buy the leaner meats so theres not much fat left over. Sounds tasty though, maybe I'll go lipo a nearby cow

Saw it on Top Chef a couple seasons ago. If you have a local Butcher they usually just toss the fat so you could get it cheap.

Just had:
Pizza
crackers
cheese
Dates
Dried apricots
various varieties of fruit
Coke zero.


For lunch.

Oh i will eat it all not at the same time mind you I don't want to waste the smoke chips so some will get frozen.

I just ate corned beef sandwich on multiseed bread [sainsburys since you ask, its great!].

Its only 1.5hrs after my breakfast and I felt hungry for some reason, so ate my lunch.

I now have indigestion! :(

KC we call it 'pop' in England as well mate, my grannie used to always give me pop in a Mr Bump glass when i was a kid. :-) On topic, today i had a pork pie which had some cheese an pickle already baked into it. It was fething mint. :-)

I just ate a handful of raw oats.

Cheese and pickle sarnie, bag o' crisps ( chips for our septic brethren), can of coek and a mars bar. Lunch of champions.
