I'm making a tomato egg curry with onions, mushrooms and spinach over basmati rice.

Simple.

Good.

wish i had some pappadam though.

i'll be damned

I'm making my first ever steak in the broiler.

smells good, but still kinda red in the middle...better not fuck this up.

I've been slowcooking chili all day.

i made some rissoto from a box.
it looks like it's aimed at hippies.

i added a bunch of veggies and such.

i'm preparing the following meal for my wife and our families on her birthday...

appetizer
-green lentil soup
-olive bread
-spinach empanadillas


entree
-meatballs with mozzarella and tomato
-broiled eggplant parcels

dessert
-iced oranges

sort of a mediterranean theme... if anyone has any suggestions for dinner music, i'm all ears.

not so hungry tonight but i did just fry up some chorizo and am slow cooking it with frijoles.
tomorrow night: tostados.

tonight i had a hamburger thing.. the kind without the bun that you cook over the stove.
some squash, and i hate squash. but tonight i didn't mind it.
corn off the cob which sucks but i ate it. i like my corn on the cob.
mashed potatoes which were yummy.

now im going to go eat more. i'm so hungry

Mom's in towm,. so I have had homecookin almost all week. Last night I got clam spaghetti, tonite I get Paprika Chicken and "Rita Potatoes" -- the way my mom's mom used to do it.

Already packed up for tomorrow's trek to Mobile as well. So, eat, and to bed for me. I love sunday!!

wow. i think my friend is cooking dinner tonight- probably pasta to fit with the "sopranos sunday" theme.

take the meat out before you think it is done..and sit it on the counter with foil.. i.e. "rest the meat" for 5 minutes or so it helps it regain its juiciness.

my wife and i just had penne ala vodka, lasagne and garlic rolls to dip in the gravy from our fav local. we're also doin' the Soprano's Sunday tradition.

I've always wanted to try this, but the wife has a CTA to vodka so it's been a no-go.

ah dude, that's a shame. but, i prepared it at home one night for my sister-in-law minus the vodka, and it came out fine. plus when cooking it at home you can add as much pancetta as you like.

I love food threads. Y'all done good.

i want to know what "rita potatos" entails.

As for music for the mediterranean dinner, considering that there are going to be old people there, I recommend Quintette Du Hot Club de France, 25 Classics, 1934-1940.

thanks! sounds perfect

Dig it. If i new how to use stuff it on this mac, and figured out YSI, i'd send it to you.

Maybe that'll be my project tonight. Anyone care to give a tutorial?

Hmm, i just got this powerbook a couple weeks ago, and I've got stuffit expander, is there something I ought to download, or what?

i've tried to dl some sort of stuffit application but i couldn't figure it out on account of being too impatient, which is why i have yet to ysi a complete mix of anything

Came out well.. very juicy. probably could have used 5 more min though....

im very proud of myself....ive used every cooking appliance in my house.

I'm sick with this. Straight gangsta mac. sometimes i get ridiculous....

If i was a rapper, I'd totally start a line of mac and cheese called "Gangsta Mac".

DropZip should be part of the Stuffit folder you got already. Is it there?

Thanks for the tip. I found dropstuff, i zipped that Django up, now I'm just waiting for YSI to upload it.

who wants it?

nice dude. i'll take a YSI!

nice! unfortunately my current roomate didn't get home until about 1/2 hr before the sopranos and they were gonna cook a meat sauce (in which i cannot partake in) so we decided ixnay on the pasta and just ate microwaved food. hot.

i need to live with boys who will cook for me.
