I was all set to make fish sandwiches tonight for dinner when my dad said, "I'm in the mood for a salad, but we're out of lettuce and what not. Go grab something from Burger King" (He likes their Chicken, Apple & Cranberry salad). I got food for he and my mom, and I grabbed their new "Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Burger" Bad idea... It was terrible, over cooked, and dry... *sigh* such good potential too.

Hah if mere Chinese food was enough to screw with my digestive system I'd be dead by now.

I know! I think my love of spicy foods and my many years in the boy scouts have given me an iron constitution.

I had a good weekend - chinese on friday night.

I had on friday
Chips, onion rings and chicken balls in batter.
Just a collection of things I could dip into satay sauce really.

Finished it off for saturday lunch. Sat tea was gammon and pineapple.

Sunday - post 40k pub burger.

Chicken box, looks like vomit but tastes so good.

Eggs Benedict for breakfast/lunch and that was pretty much it all day.

I laughed at this... idk what chicken box is, but I read it as box meaning another word for a part of the female body that men don't have, and I was like... "WHY WOULD SOMEONE EAT THAT?!"

Is this just like a box of fried chicken?

So glad I'm not the only person that thought of this...

And I'm planning on picking up some sushi this evening. Gotta love dem spicy tuna rolls.

If I recall its usually chicken, chips (fries), cheese and taco sauce

I can't do sushi.. I know it's perfectly fine but I just can't bring myself to eat raw meat of any kind.. I need my animal flesh to be charred over hot coals. And all the cooked sushi I've seen has yucky stuff in it, like crab. ick. I think I'm gonna go invent pulled pork sushi.

Cheese and taco sauce?! O.o

I thought Americans ate bad food

How about cold smoked meats? Still technically cooked yet looks raw for the most part...

I've seen numerous sushi places attempt it, but it never works out.

Apparently I'm joining some friends for a meal, so I suppose I'll see what we're eating soon.

its snowing today, so dinner was a nice pot of beef stew

Went out the other night with friends and had the single worst chicken parma i've ever had. What made the meal even more galling was that it cost me $17. They made up for it though by having quite a nice chocolate mousse.


Tonights dinner would appear to be snags and chips. Judging by the pack of frozen sausages on the bench and the note that says "Make chips".

see, i read that and my initial though is that a major component of your dinner is this

then i remembered what chips are in that part of the world

Gon' be McD's once I get off work tonight.... mmm mmm spicy chicken sammiches

Something quite expensive that isn't being paid for by me. Hurrah

More snow, some spring break this is!

This is one of those things that is all over the place between countries.

In Australia we call both these...

And these...


....Chips. Expect that we also call both thick and thin cut chips "chips" as opposed to thick cut being chips and the thin cut being fries.

Where as in America the top ones are chips and the bottom would be fries.
And in UK the top are crisps and the bottom are chips.

It's one big clusterfeth of potatoey delishisness.


I think that post made sense. It made sense to me.

It made sense, excellent explanation of the situation for the US, Australia and the UK. Gotta be careful what you order really.

My wife who won't eat meat unless its well done loves seared tuna, I just can't warm to it at all.

I just had a nice meal. Sausage in a chilli tomato sauce with chips and some sugar snap peas.

YUM. The sausage is fresh as well, from the butchers.

Tomorrow. Going to make a chilli bacon and chicken dish, with some rice probably, add some snow peas and baby corn.

Do you lot have a different name for thick and thin chips? Or is everything classed as fries?

Last night was burritos, tonight we are going over to friends for a passover seder. So probably brisket. I do know dessert is going to be pavlova and w/ berries, as that's what I'm bringing over.

Variations on fries.... in relative size order from thinest: Shoelace, regular, crinkle cut, steak, and a special chip style called Waffle.

I'm adding images for reference.


Shoelace-


regular-


crinkle cut-


steak-


Waffle-

Damnit - Now I want fries/chips/potatoes cut into funny shapes - whatever they're called, I want some!

Edit:You missed one, the ultimate fries are seasoned curly fries. If waffle fries count then curly should too

Tonight will be the last of the leftover soup I made on Sunday.. tomorrow will be taco burgers! I just mix 1 packet of taco seasoning mix in with 1 pound of ground meat.. cook em like normal and add pepperjack & cheddar with a little enchilada sauce & diced onions on top low carbing though so I can't have a bun :(

I've actually made chili using taco seasoning, and it turned out to be really good. I'll have to try taco burgers now haha.
