Foodies BS Thread.

Funny thing. I saw this post with the broccoli on the grill and thought "I should try that". Last night I had some sliced zuccini and asparagus to throw on the grill and thought "what the hell, I'll throw some broccoli on too". I tossed it with a little olive oil and apple cider vinegar and a dash of Tony's Creole seasoning. It was damn good.

 

Now you are talking !!!!!!!


Olive oil & Tony's is a great match.

 

Put this on before I left for work. Its my Mississippi roast I did one of my first vids on but I didnt have a packet of ranch so I improvised.

 

1st BLT of the season. T omato from the garden! Homemade Cajun bacon!! It was glorious!!!

 

And the shitiest pic evar.

 

looks good!

 

Just something simple tonight. Butler's Gold, great stuff of you can get it.

 

Made some Loco Moco for breakfast.

 

Took my bride out this afternoon for an late lunch-early dinna.


I'm lucky in that one of my favoritist Tex-Mex spot is less than 2 miles from my driveway. That's where we went tonight.











Their excellent salsa came & I took indecent liberties with and kicked it up a few notches with the habanero & normal hawt sauces added to my bowl.











All was well through a couple Dos Equis Ambars & 'ritas. Then the bride called me out.......



Now.....I'm sorta proud of my own cooking............yet this place always kicks my big ole butt into sheer embarrassment with their guacamole.

















Wife made such a big deal outa the guac that I ordered the rest of our meal to go..........I couldn't stand it anymore.






So here's the deal...........last batch of guac I made she declared the best ever. Maybe the chic meant the "best I ever made". Time will tell.



I prefer the rustic version like the restaurant served....big chunks of avocado & tomato goodness......with tiny bits of onion & cilantro.


One thing I noticed was they used large course grain sea salt...........and they squirted the lime juice on top. I usually use an A.P. BBQ rub with S, P & G one then blend the lime juice in.



Taking notes.



Will adjust.




Open to suggestions.



I'm confounded with how such a simple dish as guacamole can Trump my best efforts.



I accept the challenge and will prevail.

 

Anyone have a good fajita marinade for flank steak? Plan to do some nachos and burritos
Thanks in advance

 

If you can get it in your area, a great dry rub, Bolner's Fiesta Brand Fajita Seasoning.

Appetizers!

Haha, for the little ones, didn't think they were pic worthy.

I love making pasta quick sauces.

Add some great pasta and DINNER-TIME!

 

Store bought pasta... best brand? De Cecco for moi.

 

That’s a great pasta. But not a lot of versions.

Tonight was Bucatini or something. It’s like a super thick fettuccine. It is hollow! It has a tiny tube hole full length. No clue how they press it. I get it from a local grocery store. It’s nameless.

 

De Cecco is bronze drawn, which is crucial for good dried pasta. IMO best you can get off the standard grocery shelves.

But

Hollow fettuccine sounds very functional no matter how it’s made.

 

Yes. I use a lot of del cecco

It’s great.

What’s your go-to can tomato? I use Cento exclusively.
