What are YOU about to eat for lunch/dinner/Brekkie while on Forum?

baked potato. mmm

Oh now you are making me hungry. I love a good spud.

I put the peanut cookie back and got a little piece of an oatmeal and a choc. chip. The oatmeal one is the best so far. I guess that's carried me through lunch. To drink - ice water. I forget sometimes how good ice water can be!

So what's for dinner, everyone? LOL

Tonight will be working on more leftovers - probably the meatballs in gravy over rice, though I also have the remains of a pork roast that I can nibble on.

I'll probably just regurgitate my lunch.

Coffee. Maybe also a criossant or a cinnamon roll.

I just finished off the last of some of the best french fries I ever had - although they were cold by now. Left over from my lunch; a "Kobe" beef burger with sauteed onions, cheddar and bacon. Freaking lunch cost me $20 delivered to my desk, but was well worth it.

Tonight? Haven't a clue yet. Perhaps some homemade southern fried chicken with mac and cheese. Pretty sure that's what I'm cooking since I took out a couple of chicken breasts to defrost. That or a pizza pie if I get lazy. Which is likely

$20 for Kobe isn't that bad.

LOL!

Sounds like a pelican.

Oh Elora, that bit about the best fries ever...cruel. Cruel!

I love mac 'n cheese, too. So what time is dinner? Lol.

Actually, I have a couple of chicken breasts marinating in balsamic right now. I'm going to throw them on the grill with some Jersey Corn as well.

It was a SMALL burger

That sounds rather good. I just bought some balsamic with fig in it. I'm dying to try it out. Maybe Ill do that instead

EDIT: Actually - I love taking the corn off the cob (get one of those fancy corn cob "rapers" from Williams Sonoma - works great) and cut up some asparagus too - roast them at a high heat in the oven with olive oil, some salt and pepper, real simple. I had this at "Tracks" in Penn Station recently - too good. One of those wierd places for a restaurant, but they make darn good seafood down there, who knew.

How does Carl's jr have a Kobe burger for $6 or whatever? (I don't eat them, so I'm not sure the current price tag.)

Or maybe it's just named after Kobe Bryant.

Corn sounds really good, too. My taste runs firmly to "comfort foods" with a dash of California healthy thrown in.

Well first of all, "Kobe" in the United States isn't real Kobe. It's Wagu beef, which is similar to Kobe but not the real deal. Kobe isn't allowed to be imported here, although I do hear that top chefs find ways to manage to get it snuck in. The stuff you and I find in the supermarkets, however isn't it. Wagu, however, is damn good and damn expensive too - but not as pricey. So, a small "Kobe" style burger (they can call it Kobe) could be $6 bucks I suppose, but it would be damn small.

I'm betting they are call it after Kobe Bryant at that price lol.

I need to get one of those corn rapers. I'll pass on the asparagus. *Blech!

Lol thanks Elora.

I had assumed it was probably cow ears and things like that - fast food burgers are the worst cuts, I'd think. Kind of the same thing as a hot dog.

Grr if ads won't tell the truth, when they stand to make billions, where is the hope for humanity?

Omelets, with cheese, bacon, green onions and mushrooms. Hmm... dinner is gonna be great!

Twiglets are a yeast extract flavoured (think Marmite) baked wheat snack, Sainsbury's is an upmarket Walmart, and Rioja (the red kind especially) is a Spanish wine with an adult taste, rather than the floury disappointment of most French wines or the Ribenaesque overkill of most of the New World offerings.

Pep (didn't even give me a hangover either!)

You should shop at Waitrose. And you should try come British Columbian wines out of Canada.
I am going to have grilled lamb kidneys, two slices of lovely bacon, and an organic free range egg for my breakfast today. With wholewheat toast.
Elora, try and find one of white balsamics, coming out of California and Italy. Sharper and more intense than the darker kind. Good with fish.

I do shop at Waitrose for some things, but I am not paying the premium they demand for most of their wines when I can get equivalent quality for considerably less elsewhere.

Pep (More expensive doesn't necessarily mean better, as far as I am concerned - with wine.)

PS I stay away from exports from minor wine producing countries - either it is their dross, or over-priced for snob value.

I cellared some lovely small vineyard wines for my friends (coz I cant drink) and I think a smaller vineyard (10,000 bottles per variety or less) has advantages. I paid about $25 to even $10 for the wines. Now, of course, I hoard my wines, so my friends just stare at bottles. Try East Coast Canada/USA wines if you can get them.
Bulk isnt always great - but agree that many countries blend wines which isnt going to help reputation.

You're mean and mouldy Pep - fancy not even offering anyone a Twiglet!

I shared my Italian Rarebit.

It's prolly Hedgehog Flavoured twiglets.
And there's me talking about cellaring wines and he's drinking Rioja (which is one stap better than Sangria). I love Rarebit. I do a good one (really).
Gonna get my kidneys, bacon and egg going - gonna do it on BBQ outside.

I would like to say that everyone appears to eat very well indeed and most meals sound healthy and pleasing. Is this "our" social demographic at play, I wonder?
Gonna cook leg of lamb tomorrow.

Irish oats, with honey and dark chocolate. Hmmm.. ever so good!

There's no such thing.
You're sounding more and more like a wine snob now, Jig; I like peasant wines, not the stuff they fly in "experts" to change the taste of.
It's difficult to mess up the traditional Welsh dish!
Eating outside is uncivilised.

Pep (Especially breakfast.)
