I made a whole pot of my famous sloppy joe, let it simmer all day sunday, watched football and at the right moment to where I was soooo wasted and starvin I had me some quality joe & tots!!!!!

[6655321]

i haven't had a sloppy joe since i was 10. people really still eat them?

[Blitz]

The last time I had a sloppy joe was in grade school. I think the school actually held sloppy hoe days. I preferred hot dog or pizza days myself. I don't like them sloppy things.

[Daydreamer]

Sloppy joes, ramen noodles, hamburger helper, powdered mac and cheese-stuff I ate for dinner when I was poor and in school, but could not force myself to eat now.

I had a giant chicken burrito from this Mexican restaurant on 107th and Amsterdam (in nyc). DELICIOUS. I'm pretty sure it weighed at least 2 lbs, 50% of which was rice...good times

Nice neighborhood.

My favorite restuarant (if you'd even call it that) for the past couple months are two:

1: Noodles 'N Company - I love their caesar salad with baked chicken and ranch and their noodles are good

2: Jimmy John's - Beach Club on Wheat Bread, subsitute sprouts for onions, and you've got yourself the best sandwich in history.

[Smuckers]

fag for realz. plus, how does having a cookie make it your favorite drink?

Well that's actually a good question..

When I get my carmel macchioto, the milk somehow ends up at the bottom and you have to stir it. I don't think it's the best drink ever, but when you drink the milk from the bottom and get carmel remants up your straw at the same time along with a sneak of coffee, it's pretty good. then you add the madelines which taste like cake and dip it into the whip cream and wow...its just great.

But, on the other hand, I wouldnt say the straight up macchioto is the best tasting drink, If I could chose my favorite coffee drink that I can drink all the time would be a carmel frappuchino, the cold, slushie like coffee drinks. White mocha frappuchino comes in a distant second.

I suggest people don't eat Starbuck's breakfast samwiches. I had one the other day, it's muffin with egg, [turkey] bacon (your choice), and cheese.

It's okay, but the bread is thick, tasteless, and if you get the sausage type, it's not very good.

those are just overkill. i'd much rather prefer to have what pizz posted. the others are like having your entire kitchen... outside. maybe if you live in the bahamas and 99% of your meals are outside... otherwise, they seem real good to win a pissing contest w/ your rich neighbors

[Gary_Busey]

I'll probably buy something like those when I have my own place, maybe not as fancy. The weather is good for grilling outside for most of the year around here. I really want a simple smoker too. Maybe I'll make one myself.

[Limp]

Here is my grill (below), Char-Broil Comercial Series. I think it was $399 when I bought it. The thing is absolutely amazing. It's quick to get hot, can cook more hamburgers at once than my house can hold people, and stays pretty even outside in shitty Texas weather. I use it 90% of the time but I also have a smoker for brisket and other things requiring heavy smoke and long cook times. Even with a gas grill you can get a cast iron smoke box that you put wood chips in and smoke your meat. I got one from Lowes for around $10 and it works great. All you do is soak your wood chips in water for 30 minutes, put them in the smoke box, and then put it on the grill while you heat it up. After 15 minutes there is more than enough smoke for steaks and pork.

LOL!

Just found out Pappadeaux's is catering the office Thanksgiving Party. The people upstairs know we will all be sick of the same ole Turkey/Dresing so they are doing something different. The Menu:
Jumbo Cold Boiled Shrimp with Cocktail Sauce
Shrimp Gumbo
Greek Salad
Chicken Dijon
Crawfish Ettouffee
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
French Bread

Bread Pudding
Iced Tea

I could probably do without the bread pudding but the rest looks fucking good.

I fucking love this place.

I would say only 2 of those are overkill. The others are great for someone (like me) who grills most of their meals. Also a larger grill with more burners is great for when you are having people over, whether it be needing to cook alot of meat or havign to cook many things at different temps.

[}{arlequin]

as an apartment dweller they're all out of my reach

[Hoser]

For me it is the price that keeps it out of my range now. But once I am done school, working and have my own house things will change. A good grill will be one of the first major purchases for my home.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Yeah, I live in a condo and I have no yard. The grill I posted should work great for me. Plus you can convert it to a stove top and cook outside if you dont want your entire place to stink like bacon/fried chicken.

Those places arent bad, I would get the hot sake though because you can put it on the grill to keep it hot. The only problem with those places is that you come out smelling like you rolled around in chinese food for an hour.

i miss my favorite japanese steak house from jackson, ms, kyoto's. i'd go by for lunch and you could get beef tenderloin for 8 bucks. they had a pink sauce that they used for seafood that was fucking awesome when poured over the fried rice. the benihana here in memphis burned down a few years ago.

It's simple preparations but they're very tasty - I usually get the dipped chicken fingers and a side of fried mushrooms, either that or just the chicken finger plate (fingers, cole slaw, Texas toast and fries). Their Zax sauce may also contain the blood of virgins because it is fan-fucking-tastic. Kinda' salty, but it goes very well with the fingers.

I put cooked steak, in a pan and covered it with cheddar chese.
You could start with raw steak but then you would have to cook it and season it and it would take forever and it doesnt really work.
You could use other cheese but cheddar is sharp and greasy.
Note the non stick pan.
http://i35.tinypic.com/2qxugd5.jpg


When it gets like this...http://i38.tinypic.com/qoys77.jpg
add peppers and onions if you like. Again, note the nonstick pan.


Then when it gets like this

take it off the fire and put hot mess asside.

Take the bread and toast it in the cheese grease.

http://i34.tinypic.com/2cpp9mw.jpg


Then you stuff as much of that **** into the bun. Maybe add some more chease. If you like your veggies soggy add them before the cheese.

If you did it right, you should have a sandwich of strips of steak covered in crispy bits of burnt cheese. I am awesome.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch all day every day.

It's good alone, and it's a great mixing cereal, everything goes well with it.

[6655321]

my cousin used to take several different types of cereals and mix them together to make a sort of suicide cereal. i've never been brazen enough to try it.

[Don Scrappy]

Mixing cereal can be tricky, you gotta make sure they are compatible. For instance, quaker squares and cheerios works well, but fruity pebbles and banana nut crunch do not.

[NOTKyle]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is great because it mixes well with most anything. Anything almost flavorless for sure (cheerios, corn flakes, frosted flakes, special K, etc) but gets real crazy with other cinnamon-like things (honey bunches of oats cinnamon edition is good). Raisin Bran + CTC is by far my favorite cereal though.

[Don Scrappy]

I don't really eat raisin bran anymore, which is really unfortunate, because I remember it being the shit back in the day.

I am a big quaker square and frosted mini wheats guy now, but I will always leave room for cinnamon toast crunch.

I agree. They're super delish. And good for you. They're the only granola bars I eat.

On the other hand. Kashi's Go Lean cereal tastes like shit mixed with soy milk. But It's so healthy.

[6655321]

you like kashi because it's trendy.

[ElemenoP]

I'm trying to eat alot healthier. So I bought it for the first time. It tastes like shit. But I have to finish the box before I buy another different kind of cereal.

[6655321]

may i recommend count chocula or some cookie crisps. they are delicious and some may consider them healthy.

I'm supposed to be getting le creuset cookware from my aunt for christmas. Red is the only cool color, they may have black too but I cant find it. Honeslty, I just want the teapot, the roaster and maybe a saucepan. I already have a non-stick pan and I just bought a cast-iron skillet. Now, all I want is this (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=102046&RN=397&) and a good set of knives (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=14774629&RN=395).

[Zilchoid]

something heavy bottomed for making soups and stews...

I call mine "the girlfriend"...

But seriously, I've been playing with these "Country Style Shoulder Pork Ribs" that are always on sale in the meat aisle. I've tried grilling and frying ('cuz they're the easiest), but I've been less than pleased with the results. Tonight, I'm going with a Cajun-style marinade and putting them in the oven at 350 degrees for an hour. I'll probably post the results later.

So, does anyone have a good recipe for these reasonably priced slabs of beef?

[BIG PIZZLE]

You have to braise meat like that.

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Orange-Soy-Braised-Pork-Ribs-231363

[6655321]

i used to work with some mexicans that would make tacos out of the left over braised kobe beef shortribs. it was soooo fucking good.

[BIG PIZZLE]

My dad loves stuffed spleen.

[6655321]

Hell, yes! I remember the guys I worked with would make all kinds of great stuff out of what would normally be wasted.

Then there was the guy from Liberia that would eat the chicken sternums.

they usually just made tripe tacos which i'm not all about, but those mexis could even make a turd taste awesome.

Good info. The orange juice's acidity would help to tenderize the meat, too. I'll try this recipe the next time I make 'em.

[6655321]

just braise em in a low oven with some beef or chicken stock and a beer for a few hours. there's no way to fuck that up. throw in some veggies as the meat starts to tenderize.

[BIG PIZZLE]

http://www.mgmgrand.com/dining/craftsteak-steak-house.aspx

This place has awesome braised shortribs. They also have awesome lobster bisque and awesome .... actually everything is pretty kick-ass there. I have had a bad meal but I complained and they gave it to me for free.

[Zilchoid]

So, I went with putting the ribs in the oven on 325 degrees for an hour and forty-five minutes.

They came out pretty damn tasty and reasonably tender.

That's probably completely correct. I bet it tastes the damn same whether I eat it in a Walmart parking lot or on top of a volcano

[Claydon]

No it does not, the malasadas for example in ohau are as big as your fist and they are fresh. on the mainland they are the size of a golfball and generally are flavorless. Im not sure how or why it gets lost in translation...however the kahlua pork is stellar both here and there.

[medlar]

lol.

About that oxtail. I see now how you braised them but what did you add.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Two 750-ml. bottles dry red wine (preferably Burgundy)
12 large oxtail pieces (about 6 pounds total)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
5 shallots
5 garlic cloves
2 medium carrots
2 medium leeks (white parts only)
1 medium onion
2 celery ribs
3 fresh thyme sprigs
3 bay leaves
1 bunch parsley stems
about 4 cups beef broth

Preheat oven to 325°F.

In a 4- to 6-quart heavy saucepan boil wine until reduced by about half (about 3 1/4 cups). Trim oxtails and pat dry. Season oxtails with salt and pepper. In a deep heavy ovenproof kettle just large enough to hold oxtails in one layer heat 1 tablespoon butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and brown half of oxtails on all sides, transferring to a bowl. Brown remaining oxtails in 1 tablespoon butter in same manner and transfer to bowl. Coarsely chop shallots, garlic, carrots, leeks, onion, and celery. Add vegetables to kettle and cook in 1 tablespoon butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened.

Arrange oxtails over vegetables and add reduced wine, herbs, and enough broth to just cover oxtails. Bring liquid to a boil and braise oxtails, covered, in middle of oven 3 to 3 1/2 hours, or until meat is very tender but not falling off the bone. Transfer oxtails with a slotted spoon to a bowl and keep warm. Pour braising liquid through a fine sieve into a large saucepan and discard solids. Boil liquid until thick, shiny, and reduced to about 1 3/4 cups and whisk in remaining tablespoon butter.

[medlar]

Thanks! That was fast. A real chef can recall any recipe in his head.

I think even I can manage this one. This week for sure.
