Start calling the whole process 'culling'. Your produce manager will shit himself.

[NOTKyle]

He already shits himself.

[Gary_Busey]

So my prediction will be correct.



What's weird is, I go into grocery stores now and see the exact same types of people that I worked with 5 years ago.

[NOTKyle]

Every department in a grocery has the same people working there.

Guys in meat are always half retarded, grocery are high school drop outs, dairy are dudes that think they're badasses, bakery and cheese are fat old ladies and pettite sexy teenagers.

And produce are the coolest dudes in the store. So popular. Homecoming kings.

[BIG PIZZLE]

I wanna bang a checkout girl/bagger. She's young and cute and looks like a pornstar I've jerked to.

[Gary_Busey]

The bad thing about living so far away from USC's campus is that there's no college chicks working at the grocery stores. The good thing about living so far away from USC's campus is that there's high school chicks working at the grocery stores.

And yes, that's a comment only someone from or living in the midlands of South Carolina would understand.

I came so close to getting an apartment in the Vista. The commute would be like, 15-20 minutes though so I decided not to.

[Da Raider]

so I found this mongolian restaraunt that is really good. Finally. Beef, turkey, chicken, or lamb with all the veggies, comes with biscuits, rice, and hot tea for $7 or all you can eat for $10. Fuck yes.

[ShitBreak]

Mongolian is the shit. Probably one of the best "new" things I've started eating in the last couple years.

Also...last weekend I tried steamed mussels for the first time. My uncle was just chowing down on them. Me? Wanted to make me blow chow.

[Claydon]

Driving to Crenshaw is not worth a hot dog. Not even the jalepeno & cheese variety.

Here's my basterdized Korean beef. No real measurements, but you probably need about a cup of soy sauce and a cup of sugar. The lower the ingredient on the list, the less you will need.

Flank steak--cut into strips
Equal parts Soy sauce and sugar
Green onions--chopped
Garlic--chopped
Fresh Ginger--grated
Roasted sesame seeds
Sesame oil
Rooster hotsauce
Orange juice

Lightly salt and pepper the beef. Mix everything in a giant bowl. Let it sit for a couple of hours. BBQ, take off the grill, splash with a little OJ and eat. The end.

[Gary_Busey]

Pan seared some salmon today for the first time. Took a salmon filet and drizzled olive oil over it, along with some cracked pepper and ground sea salt, and finished with some chopped dill sprinkled liberally over. Seared on both sides on high heat and had to stick it in the oven for a few because it wasn't as cooked on the inside as I wanted.

[Don Scrappy]

Spent a couple weeks in Maui, just got back. Had lots and lots of seared Ahi and Poke, some amazing shrimp and Mahi tacos, and a very good lobster stuffed white fish. Plus my very first McRib, very spectacular.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Yes.

[The Dude]

i am awesome. i just made jerk turkey tips and grilled corn.

to do the corn i schucked it, then used my hands to coat them in butter; then sprinkled with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper--then i wrapped that in aluminum foil and tossed it on with the turkey tips.

fucking delicious.

[BIG PIZZLE]

Where is the turkey tip?

[The Dude]

dunno, it's probably just breast meat, def white meat, it was sold as "turkey tips" though

Anybody got a good recipe for pizza crust and/or pizza sauce?

[fadetoblack1985]

Anybody got a good recipe for pizza crust and/or pizza sauce?

INGREDIENTS

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup honey (gives the crust an awesome sweet taste)

Best sauce i've used for pizza is just simple prego pasta sauce, throw that in a bowl with some italian spice and your good to go.

[Gary_Busey]

Pork loin, corn on the cob and multi-grain rolls. BOOYAH!

[WET HOT MESS]

[Hannibal Lecter]

my cousin came over tonight and i did this again, but i did burgundy steak tips instead of turkey.

and i forgot to add it to the list of ingredients for the corn last time, but i also squeezed lime juice on the corn before i wrapped it up. this time i also upped the cayenne a bit, it was goooood.

[BIG PIZZLE]

I think I will grill some hotdogs.

[Ninja Pope]

I've got a date coming over tomorrow night, and I'm making pizza completely from scratch (even the dough and sauce). For dessert, I'm serving up a chocolate marble cheesecake with a graham cracker crust and fresh strawberry topping.

That should at least get me to 2nd base, right?

[BIG PIZZLE]

I would go through a pizza test run before you rock it. Let her top her own half of the pizza. That should get you w/in 2nd.

That is fucking brilliant. I'll have the crust ready when she gets here, and I'll lay out the toppings in little containers, so she can pick what she wants.

If I get anywhere tonight, I owe you.

if you're doing the italian thing, having a bottle of red will help you along nicely, as well as some tunes. something opera-ish but not... try looking for a cd by emma shapplin 'carmine mio'. she'll be dripping on your fingers in no time

We went there for happy hour and sat outside in the patio area (the inside is much more "fancy schancy"). I had 4 or 5 different Belgian beers and some Belgian fries with an assortment of dipping sauces. That set me back ~$35 including tip.

They're halved. But the shimps were the best. Panchetta and white wine with shrimp and butter and garlic. I just got up from a nap.

I figured out a way to help my brown rice cook softer and fluffier.

I soak it over night. and cook it the next day.

[TylerDurden]

i love me some brown rice, but it takes for fucking ever to cook right. i may have to try that.

[ElemenoP]

It makes a huge difference. When I used to cook it out of the package for 45 mins -- it's still rough to eat. But by soaking it over night, it seemed like each grain kind of split and opened a little -- thus, softer.

Oh, and I put a little garlic, olive oil and cooked it with chicken broth and it tasted so delish!!!

that sounds fantastic.

ordinarily i rock a light amount of olive oil, freshly-shredded pamesan cheese, and just a little pesto. one of my favorite dishes.

Omelet with colby jack cheese and Italian sausage. Mmmmm...

do you think an extra virgin olive oil would work well instead of canola?

[BIG PIZZLE]

Not at all. Olive oil will burn at that temperature. You need an oil that can handle 500 degrees +.

I lost 100 pounds eating brown rice and meats and veggies and always struggled with the texture of the rice. Out of curiousity how long do you cook it the next day? Is it much less time or about the same? Also how fluffy and soft is it I mean would say twice as soft as the normal 45 min cooked version or just a little softer. I still like to eat Brown rice a lot but it takes so damn long to cook as mentioned here. This is interesting though and might bring it back to my table on a regular basis.

Meatloaf is proper when done correctly.

So is Spam when grilled.

When I want to make spagetti the fast way, I often use Ragu's Onion, Garlic and Tomato variety in a pinch. I'll throw in some bell pepper and diced tomato, and it does the trick.

Does anyone got any other suggestions for sauce in a jar?
