Grilled tri tip (by the master), baked potato w/sour cream and instead of a salad I had a tomato and some cuke slices. It was perfectamundo.

Ice Cold Coors Light Too.

My patented black bean soup. U JELLY?

Yes.

yes

Sopas de frijoles negros. If you ever get a chance to try it in Miami, do it. The best anywhere, imo.

Didn't do that but I had it at a Cuban restaurant in Chicago and it almost made me weep. Plantains and mentiritas and arroz amarillo. I could eat like that every day.

curry chicken goodness

Cherry turnovers. YOU JELLY?

curry chicken goodness

When my wife makes chicken salad, she puts curry powder in the mayo. I recall that it is amazing.

cashews

just had a few chicken strips, a turkey dog, some carrots, and some pickles.

Eggplant Parmesan is in the overn...and don't knock it till you have mine. I deep fry some mushrooms and add them to the pan.

sounds delicious, actually.

This weekend, me and a couple buddies are roasting pork shoulder for 16 hours for pulled pork sandwiches.

I'm going to put bbq sauce, baked beans, cole slaw on mine. I cannot wait.

Pork shoulder is great. My recipes were prolly lost for Carnitas.

Pork Butt is from the front shoulder. I'm just trying to help out a youngster who might go look for a Pork Butt at the meat market this weekend. Sorry bro.

You roasting or smoking?

We already bought pork shoulder. I wasn't looking for actual butt. :D we know what we're doing believe it or not

You roasting or smoking?

We'll roast it, and inject it with liquid smoke... we don't have a means to smoke it.

We'll roast it, and inject it with liquid smoke... we don't have a means to smoke it.
Just in an oven? Like on really low heat? I'm asking. Never really thought about that, I have no smoker either, might have to try it. Let me know specifics if you get a sec.

Yep, oven on low heat. We did it before on higher heat for 8-10 hours (don't remember specifics), but there were stuff some minorly tough parts, so we're going to do the suggested 2 hours per pound this time. I'll let you know how exactly we decide to do it this weekend and how it turns out.

^ Vin, I know you are asking D, but Pork shoulder is hard to fuck up. You can cook it a lot of different ways, but you can just put it in a crock pot (add some chicken stock if you want for gravy), turn it on and then turn it off when you can't pick it up cuz its so tender. Put it in the oven covered, put it in the oven not covered.

He's probably right. If we didn't fuck it up, then you won't fuck it up.

Last time, we put it in the oven, covered.

We made our own BBQ sauce out of the drippings and a bunch of other stuffs, which may have been even better than the meat itself.

Love some crockpot pork shoulder. Absolutely idiot proof and good as hell. An overnight brining and dry rub will elevate it greatly.

Or you could just invite him over, ya dick!

what a fuggin' asshole

Yeah, but then I'd have to go to Ohio. I'll do lots of things for pork but....

you won't pork an Ohio chick!

Are there 'chicks' in Ohio?

So I'm new to using a crockpot. When you cook a roast or a shoulder in there, do you need to put water in the bottom or anything? I'm afraid of burning the damn thing. but I don't want to boil it or anything either.

When I have the time and feel like cleaning up a bunch of stuff...I put a dry rub of spices on it, then some olive oil it or anything that makes some flour stick to it and sear it. The kitchen will be a mess.

Then put it in with a half can of chicken stock. Barely covers the bottom, then add some as time goes along. Then add a can of Campbells mushroom soup if you want. Its fine with a pork shoulder.

WTF, we don't want to know about your sex life dude!

When you turn the crockpot on high, its really hot Vinny.

So I'm new to using a crockpot. When you cook a roast or a shoulder in there, do you need to put water in the bottom or anything? I'm afraid of burning the damn thing. but I don't want to boil it or anything either.

Pork shoulder has a great deal of fat and connective tissue in it, there's practically no danger of it drying out. The connective tissue gelatinizes over the long, low cooking time making the meat moist and tender. The fat renders out and pools in the bottom so you can just lift out the roast leaving it behind. No additional liquid is necessary.

It'll cook fine at high or low settings. The choice pretty much comes down to how long you're going to leave it unattended or how much of a rush you're in. I've pushed it through in 5-6 hours on high when I was at home with it and left it for 8-10 on low when I was out for the day.

Burning food is pretty much impossible in a crockpot because even on high it's still too low to brown, much less burn. The worst thing that can happen is you forget it for some ridiculously long time and overshoot by days and it dries out. Crockpots are very, very forgiving on the long side of cooking times when it comes to meat. Veggies need a little more attention because they can kind of disintegrate if left on too long.

Thanks guys. I'm going to have to go get a roast this weekend.

Invite me ya dick! My mom ungrounded me!

Invite me ya dick! My mom ungrounded me!
Bring it T-Bro!

THE DAY. 'TIS APPROACHING

USE CHILI POWDER!

Chili powder good for dry rub on pork.

It is ridiculous how excited I get for the weekend food.

CHILI POWDER. "TIT SHALL BE USED

^ you must be dieting. I used to do that...eat right during the week and then go for it on the weekends. When you are on a good roll, you can eat all weekend and not do much damage to the waistline if you still work out and stuff.

And for me, besides a pizza, stay away(or try to stay away) from processed carbs. Breads just kill me. Sourdough is good though.

You can make an OUTSTANDING rub for pork by using some ground cumin, some dried oregano, and some pressed garlic.

OT...I buy some corn tortillas(soft) and fry them in oil. Take the tortilla, add some pulled pork, squeeze some fresh lime juice and hot sauce and eat it with lotsa cold beer of your choice. Don't be shy with the salt on the pork.

sounds awesome, both. I'm sure there will be some extra pork that I can try the tacos with.

crock pot roast beef broth -- good for congestion

Thanks guys. I'm going to have to go get a roast this weekend.
Saw it on sale at the Piggly Wiggly today...bought a small piece and decided to give it a half ass shot.
Brined it for about 5 hours in salt/sea salt/garlic/paprika, rubbed it in some more garlic and salt and pepper and Olive Oil, browned quickly and now on low over night, will see what I get when I wake up.

Probably not the ideal method but I need to try things first before I get the perfect recipe down. I bet it's decent anyways.

I bet so.

You lucky SOB, you're going to have it before I do. :D

Ours goes in the oven about 8 pm tonight. ETA of 12:00pm Saturday to my belly.

THE PORK GOES IN , IN 28 MINUTES

That's about all you could ask

Minestrone soup

there's very few food items i'm not a fan of... minestrone is one. For whatever reason, i dono

Had a pork chop thing @ J Alexander's about 15 years ago that was one of the best meals I've ever had.

It had a huge bone sticking out of it, like something out of The Flintstones.

FUCKER!!!!!!!

Don't you "Spicy....." nvm.

Just ate the last of the pork sandwiches, with some pickles.

I'm about to go into a state of depression that it's gone. :(

awwww yeahhh. Sounds so good.

Now that the driveway is clear and the roads are plowed, I think I'll investigate some boneless buffalo wings from the neighborhood Applebee's.

Can't make it into work, but I sure as hell can make it out to Applebee's, lol.

And they want to put the superbowl in New York.

^ if it was in NY this year, it would be a sombitch.

The wife's chicken pasta salad (rotini, chicken breast, Hellman's, Italian dressing, celery). (Picking the celery out).

Oh, there's some bacon in there, too.

picking the celery out? How old are we, Glan?

Glan mentioning celery made me break out the celery and put tuna fish on celery sticks for brunch.

Don't like the crunch mixed in with the pasta. It's a texture thing.

Somebody brought some extremely spicy salsa into work, presumably for the super bowl this weekend or something.

Holy shit, it has been 15 minutes and my nose is still running. My asshole is going to be furious.

gimme some of dat

(the salsa)

^ close one!

It's my gimmick for today.

It was definitely delicious, but I'm not sure the excruciating assfire will be worth it.

I want to try it on a SPICY ITALIAN

I'll let you guys know how my shit goes later on.

spicy italian

first time having it on I-talian herb & cheese, it's wonderful

Sun Chips, too

harvest cheddar

forever abone

I just had that stuffed steakhouse from BK. Yeah, yeah, I know... I liked it though

STILL NO SPICY

Had some miso soup w/tofu.

I'm not much for tofu. Not sure why.

Agree. Only in Miso soup for me.

Yeah, it fits right in with miso soup, for some reason.

I'll let you guys know how my shit goes later on.

It was surprisingly tranquil.

Just got back from getting my Super Bowl groceries.

First up, Snyder's of Hanover Hot Buffalo Wing pretzel pieces.

Ribs. Why are they so fucking good? Hell, I don't even care. They're not even "good" ribs, the ones the grocery store makes were on sale for $5.

What's it going to take for you guys to start giving credit to ribs?

uh oh. might be a late burner, I'm farting some hot farts... D:

Tahoe. it's right here, dude.

And he talks about libs being lazy....

Apple Nutri-Grain bar

What should I eat? I'm panicking, the game's soon and I don't know what to do for dinner.

HALP

I want it to be delicious, I don't care what it is or how bad it is for me.

We're having carnitas made by the master.

fuckit, ordered thin crust papa john's - basically a garden fresh with grilled chicken

Ended up carbing it. Flour tortilla, layer of rice, beans, carnitas, cheese, salsa and then wrapping them up and frying them like a chimichanga. Epic, if I might say so myself. I feel like I won't need to eat for a week.

Yeah, it fits right in with miso soup, for some reason.

Maybe cuz they're both bean curd.

Stop by a fast food place and pick up some french fries and drowned them bastards in cheese sauce. While you are waiting for the cheese sauce to heat up, have some bbq potato chips.

Glan get me another. I'm shaking here bro...

lol'd. Fuck that, I'm robed up. Not going anywhere. That means eggs, a cheese stick, cereal, or some almonds.

Glan get me another. I'm shaking here bro...

You ever had Penn Station's italian?

spicy Italian is fuggin' amazing without the tomatoes

Humor me once and go mustard and pickles only.

Also, wife made some outstanding French toast tonight.

Err, Freedom toast, sorry, Tahoe.

Tomorrow I'll do it.

You have to do something for me in return, though. And you know what I want...

(NH)

Appology accepted. Lets keep things civil around here please.

Gonna go get a spicy italian.

Thanks, bro. I'll pay you back eventually.

Spaghetti Squash...so damn good.

You bros made me go out and get a spicy italian today. Thanks a lot.

/noregrets

Seriously though, this is no match for Penn Station's.

I was actually just about to leave to go get one.

Fuck Penn St, dude. I hate Paterno.

Pick up some cigarettes too.

spicy + coffee = weird burps

I bet. Mine are weird enough without the coffee.

I want another spicy, though.

Humor me once and go mustard and pickles only.

Also, wife made some outstanding French toast tonight.

Err, Freedom toast, sorry, Tahoe.

I'm tellin ya a hamburger at this one place out here that only puts pickles and mustard is stellar. I will have one once I start eating processed carbs again.

Kind of wanting a Penn Station italian... But I would always order their fries with that, and that's diet suicide, more or less.

Thinking about getting another spicy today.

#FML #TeamDoWork

let's do it

rise and grinders, lol

rofl. Maybe I'll get another D:

Dad guys should never say "do work". Ever.

I say/tweet it every morning.

When I remember to do so, that is.

pistachios

it's been a while, like 3 days, since I last had a spicy...

Should probably be in the "What's for lunch?" thread since, technically, I'm not currently eating anything...

Homemade broccoli salad that tastes damn good. Easy to make too. Broccoli, Bacon, red onion, mango, macadamia nuts and coleslaw dressing.

just made the other half of ribeye steak I had left from Saturday, with a little quinoa. Not mad.

Wife made Valentine's chili w/ sausage, pinto and kidney beans.

Incredible.

She might regret this one, though.

Made a lentil stew with quinoa. Eating the leftovahs

Nothing yet, but I get the feeling I'm about to do something stupid.

Going to get a spicy.

^lol.

Just had salmon and orzo rice, and then someone left free pizza in the lunch room. Pieces were cut into small squares, I had two. I don't feel too terrible about it... that is, if I didn't already have a donut this morning.

OH WELL.

Going to get a spicy.

been 3 days for me

I have successfully resisted that temptation since last Thursday. Don't know how much longer it can last...

Doin extra pickles and mustard today, might even make it a FOOT LONG.

Do (extra) work.

Do (extra) work.

that just seems entirely unappealing

Trying pepper jack on the spicy for first time. #nervous

D:

Not horrible, but didn't really accomplish what I was trying to do there.

yeah, I can't imagine that the flavors would mesh well, in most cases. Different kinds of spicy

I was just trying to enhance the spice.

#TKtribute

I'm a pepper jack guy, but I probably wouldn't try it on the spicy.

Oh well, you know what MJ said about failure...

Just had a tiny grilled chicken. :(

quesadillas

I've been craving salad lately. I don't understand it... I'm not even gay...

I shared a spicy Italian today with the wife for the first complex carb I've had in a month. It was neither spicy nor very italian, but it was so frickin good to eat bread again.

forgot...had a low carb pizza crust.

I'm fuckin grazing tonight. I can't stop eating.

What happened to the "What's for lunch?" thread? I tried searching, but I didn't see it.

Anyway, I might make it a spicy Sunday, but I'm also contemplating getting some T. Bell. Been a while. I've been wanting a sand taco. Also, diarrhea.

I think the lunch thread got merged into this one a few years ago.

Okay, that makes sense.

There might be a niche to be filled with a "What I think I might have for lunch" thread.

Fuck, I want a spicy or something terrible.

refrigerated brown sugar pop tart, untoasted

Fuck, I want a spicy or something terrible.

Needless to say, I feel like I am about to do the ol' vomit/diarrhea combo.

I haven't had a good vomit in years.

You working regularly?

Fasting is not a bad thing, despite what lots of people will have you think. As long as you have one or two things throughout the day to keep the metabolism going (coffee or green tea works), fasting can actually be a great tool for weight loss. Specifically, fasting all day and then having an intense heavy lifting workout temporarily opens up priority paths for carbohydrates into muscles instead of into fat. Yes, this means you can be pretty liberal with carbs after a heavy lift, especially if you've fasted all day and aren't over calorie limits.

You can read more about it here: http://www.silverhydra.com/?p=48

Lots of reports of it working very well to reduce body fat %, build muscle, and lose weight.

I'm at the job site every morning, but take off and let the crew do the work, so I'd give your question a no. I do workout every day though.

Throwing a chicken breast on, gonna put some fat free cheddar and frank's red hot on it.

#delicious

I started the grill for grilled chicken marinated with spicy taco stuff, for chicken tacos later.

awwwwwwww yeeeeeaaaaaahhh

damn, you know what? that chicken was SPICY.

Oh man....just pan fried a breaded chicken breast in a little olive oil...Epic. It was just a little EVOO too, not TOO much....i know, still not great for you but so good....

olive oil is fine, but be careful not to bring it to a smoke .

i'm more leery of the breading than the olive oil.

Eh, 'bout half an egg, some flour, paprika, salt, garlic, few bread crumbs. Not great but could be worse.

I use a ton of olive oil. I don't skimp one bit. I use it on my salads too w/red wine vinegar or something.

CE...

Cottage cheese

Usually a sure bet, but it gets a little dicey while drinking beer.

Not to beat a dead horse too much but these banana smoothies I've been making are unbelievable. Highly recommend trying one.

Lately I've been going with:

1 Frozen Banana.
About a tablespoon of fat free yogurt.
A few "glops" of Almond Milk. (regular milk would work just as well but I've never been a big milk guy.)

Drop all in blender, start on med/low for about 30 seconds, finish on high until smooth. Sofuckinggood.

I'm secure. I would love to try your banana smoothie, Vin.

Not sure what's in y'all Reubens but I just fried some wheat break in olive oil (instead of toasting) put some pastrami on it w/swiss cheese and sauerkraut. And on one half I put thousand island (just cuz Swami says its healthy) and on the other vinegar and oil. And I had a pickle on the side.

i bet it was awesome.

Not a ton of calories, but a ton of delicious. I put a little cinnamon in it and a ton of cilantro and chipotle powder. Awesommm
