It really was the nuts.

The venue adds to it too.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

Revuelto Gramajo.

There's no Wikipedia link in English. If someone's interested I'll talk about it.

I was looking at it here:

I found reading about Julio Argentino Roca quite intriguing.

I add green peas and put the ham on the side cause I don't like ham.

I found reading about Julio Argentino Roca quite intriguing.

Let me sum it up: he was a bless'ed SOB of the worst kind.

BTW, the story behind the dish isn't real, it comes from a novel.

Because I was yearning for old childhood  dinner. I brought a can of beef raviolis and they didn't taste as good as I had hoped.

Happy New Year, Mish.

Ravioli is a tricky dish. They can be either delicious or not even dog food.

Nice pic, t!
I tried to find a pic of Vonnegut eating a breakfast of champions but couldn't. I'll try for Bukowski eating ham on rye.

The canned food companies have changed recipes many times over the years. Recently a lot of brands have dropped sodium amounts.

I noticed that kraft had changed their recipe a few months before they announced it and said that people couldn't taste the difference.

I've always hated that bit of smarketing cowpoo, I can always taste the difference.

Two foods I loved as a kid but make me want to puke now are corned beef hash and cocktail weiners.

Kid me was bless'ed weird.

Still can't stomach fish, and don't care for mushrooms.



But yeah, anything with a tomato based sauce tastes wrong now.

We recently bought 72 bags of Konjac (pasta, noodles, and rice) and to be honest it's bless'ed awful.

Only 69 bags to go..........

There's always donation to food pantries.

We cooked hoisin marinated boneless chicken thighs on the barbie with some rice and salad.  It turned out really well.  A Dean & Delucca recipe.  Some kind soul posted it here.  You marinate the chicken in the fridge overnight or for most of the day and then grill it for dinner.  Wowza.
