What are you eating right now ?

[tompilk]

A molar?  Hmmm...

Anyway, a tasty midnight snack consisting of a fried egg, some melted Brie and a nice cup of hot chocolate (with a marshmallow)... mm... but that was just a bit more than 2 hrs ago.


I feel like some grilled oysters.  Pity there aren't any in the house.  =)

OMG brie is soooooooooo nice... try making a panini with brie, red onion and redcurrant jelly on! yummy yummy!!!!!!

If you're ever in Oxford, go to George Street and right next to the Apollo Theatre (which is now called the New Theatre - what a crap name lol ) is a place called La Croissanterie and it does the BEST panini's in the world! Try a chicken tikka and mozzarrella panini, it's awesome! Except that nearly every bite needs several other bites to stop the mozzarrella from stretching out lol!

Go there go there GO THERE!!!

[crazy for ivan moravec]

double stuffed oreos which i dip into skippy's crunchy peanut butter! mmmmmmmmm, then milk.

[Waldszenen]

Just had a cheeseburger, a Big Mac, large fries, large sundae, large coke...

and I'm not even that full. WTH?

[Tash]

ah waldszenen, you're a growing boy! of you're experiencing the hsc food obsession- apparently the average yr12 student gains 8kg or something ridiculous. can't say i did, but i did manage to get a filling from eating too much sugar...


anyway right now, i'm sipping a honey and lemon drink my mum made me to help my cold. could she make it any sweeter?! (sweet as me hahaha)

'ah waldszenen, you're a growing boy! of you're experiencing the hsc food obsession- apparently the average yr12 student gains 8kg or something ridiculous. can't say i did, but i did manage to get a filling from eating too much sugar...'
Oh goody; something to look forward to next year.  =)


'anyway right now, i'm sipping a honey and lemon drink my mum made me to help my cold. could she make it any sweeter?! (sweet as me hahaha)'
Mmmmm... I had one yesterday at a friend's place.  lol, it made more thirsty.

I never knew redcurrant jelly existed...  I wonder if they have in Coles...?

[m1469]

Maple and Brown sugar oatmeal.  It's okay... it gets the job done I guess  .


Recently I made a chocolate truffle cake... triple decker.  Oh yeah, I actually posted about that one ... hee hee.  Well, I didn't eat even a crumb or a little lick of it... anyway, there is some left even (it's in the freezer now).

Plus, I made this thing that's like trifle.  I put gooey brownies on the botton, a layer of vanilla pudding (mixed with a whole block of cream cheese and some whipped cream) and then some nuts, candy bar pieces, chocolate syrup, whipped cream.  Then the layers get repeated (with some chocolate pudding in one of the layers) until it fills the dish.  I frosted it with leftover chocolate truffle frosting.  Anybody want some ?

*gives a bunch to Thalbergmad*

[gilad]

my nextdoor neighbour....chewy old bat.

no really, a cornish pasty with a sprite zero.

[nanabush]

Triple decker sandwich (3 pieces of bread) lightly toasted, tons of turkey, 4 piecs of bacon, 2 eggs, lettuce, onion, a pickel, mayo, mustard, salt, pepper... pretty the much the best sandwich in the world.

[thalbergmad]

*gives a bunch to Thalbergmad*

That is so sweet

Tonight i is eating cottage cheese and crackers.

On a diet you see.

HOLY SMOKES 

*drools profusely*

That DOES sound so good.

hmmm... okay.  Actually, I was thinking I could make the trifle in non-fat or at least low-fat, as well as low calorie and no sugar.  If you can believe that.  And probably nobody would even know  .  Can you have that ? 

*gets ready to make some for Thalbergmad on a diet*



I have been in some kind of crazy cooking mode for a while now.  I have just never loved it more ... YIPPEEE

[pianistimo]

are you trying to take thal away from me?  i can't really cook very well.  the family eats out when i make something special.  (unless it's bread).  well, my husband likes my meatloaf.  that's a good thing!  he'll eat almost the entire thing in two days.  the second day it's sandwiches.

subscribing to 'fine cooking' magazine again - to get ideas.  there's 20 different potatoe salad recipies in it this time.

what am i eating?  i ate something - but i forgot what it was.

[arensky]

Grape Nuts, a banana, some yogurt, washed down with 2% milk and 3 or 4 cups of coffee.

[pianistimo]

i like cereal and milk in the morning, too.

tried a roasted potatoe salad recipe and it's turning out good so far.  set the oven at 450 and roast potatoes (already boiled and softened) with olive oil and garlic salt on them.  then separately, tomatoes and peppers.  i think mrs. dash would work - but i only had garlic salt -so generous dollop on each going in (20 minutes).  i put freshly husked corn in too (for 15 minutes) at the same temp.  covered it with oil and garlic salt.  mixed it all together and putting hard boiled eggs and basil in now.  my kids don't like vinegar so i'm putting in mayo and mustard and a bit of garlic. 

*sees if thal will lift an eyebrow.

[pianistimo]

i found out the secret to fruit cakes.  you put the fruit on top 15 minutes after they've been in the oven.  that way - the fruit doesn't sink to the bottom.  take your basic blueberry coffeecake or plum cake.  that's how the store gets them to look like they do.  if you put them in too soon - they sink to the middle or the bottom and you can't really see what kind of cake it is.

Actually, if you dust the fruit in flour before joining them to the dough they will not sink to the bottom.

[penguinlover]

Wow, you cook too?

[bernhard]

Wow, you cook too?

Yep.

[jas]

Wow, you cook too?

I can't even manage cheese sauce from a packet. I usually end up with a crater where the kitchen used to be.

I'm eating nothing right now. I'm starving, actually, but there's no food in the house except for Jacob's cream crackers, and I've eaten about my body weight in them over the past week so I really don't want another one...

What can you make from onions, wholemeal bread, marmalade and digestive biscuits?

[pianistimo]

time to go out.

bernhard, thank you for the suggestion of dusting the fruit.  another option would be just to invite the fruit to sink.  kind of like pineapple upside down cake.  you put the fruit in first, knowing it will end up there anyway, and then pour the cake batter over the top. 

but, i'd like to see some of your cake.  have a feeling you might be a good cook.

ps  my potatoe salad was the best ever!  of course, the kids wanted to go out again last night.    they don't like roasted peppers.  i ate two bowls of the salad.  it was roasted everything.  roasted potatoes, roasted peppers, roasted tomatoes, roasted corn.  it was delicious to me and my hubby  - but don't spend half the day cooking if your kids only like spaghetti -right?

[amanfang]

2 scrambled eggs with cheese (no liquid smoke in these).

Haha - my doctor told me last week to eat as much as I can and don't exercise.  Don't you wise you had a doctor like that?? 

[yooniefied]

Soymilk. 

[bernhard]

Grilled fish (marinated in soy sauce & sake) with a coriander/ginger sauce; grated daikon (mooli), brown rice with gomasio (sesame seeds toasted and grinded with salt), watercress/ mint salad and shiitake mushrooms cooked in honey and soy sauce.

[thalbergmad]

Chicken Tikka Masala with stuffed naans and Bombay Potato's, washed down with 4 pints of guiness.

Reckon i will be on the bog all night.

Ox tongue cooked in Madeira wine sauce, gratin new potatoes, roquette salad and watermelon juice.

[jakev2.0]

For starters, a giant brick of cheddar between two pieces of toast.  Main course, seafood cornucopia (consisting mainly of raw squid and octapus), washed down with yak juice.

For dessert: ox testes a la mode, lightly dusted with confectioners sugar.

[m1469]

Ox tongue cooked in Madeira wine sauce, gratin new potatoes, roquette salad and watermelon juice.

hmmmm.... I have never tried any kind of a tongue before, except my own of course.  Which brings me to an interesting question... Can we taste our own tongue ?  Since the taste-buds are on top, I think not... unless we accidentally bite it.  But then we are just tasting blood... unless... well, I won't go there.  Probably our taste-buds would have to be on the inside of our tongue in order to be able to taste it... but then again, maybe when our tongue is just sitting there with nothing to do, it IS tasting itself.  Maybe that's what it's always tasting and it's just what they do.  But maybe our taste-buds are just tasting other taste-buds, and not our actual tongue.

But the tongue is one of the most massive muscles in the body... I am curious what the texture is like (aside from the goose bumps).

Also, I tried watermelon juice before, we put some watermelon meat in our juicer.  I do love watermelon so the juice is pretty great.   You have interesting menues, Sir.


*finishes last sips of her iced cappuccino*

[annoying_airhead]

It's like eating muscle- tendon (state the obvious why don't you airhead... *sigh*).  Although it tastes like normal meat I don't like eating much- especially if you cut off the taste buds.  =0  At least that's what mum does.

I just finished eating dinner, pho - Vietnamese rice noodles... mmmmmmm...

[Waldszenen]

Vietnamese rice noodles are some of the best things I've ever tasted


I just devoured about 20 kumquats - one of the only fruits I eat with a passion.

[annoying_airhead]

My grandmother has one of those trees.  =)  I forgot to mention the kiwi.

[amanfang]

Grilled pork tenderloin, twice-baked potatos.  And blue gatorade.

[pianistimo]

a bowl of cheerios with bananas on top.

[arensky]

Palak aloo with basmati rice, a vegetable samosa and some papadum crackers with an RC Cola. 

[Waldszenen]

My grandmother has one of those trees.  =)  I forgot to mention the kiwi.

LOL we tried to plant one before we discovered our soil is too... saline o_O

dunno where the salt came from...

[pianistimo]

candy. 

where do you get soil tested?  i was wondering about my soil, too.  i'm trying to grow a lot of things.  the watermelon is taking off.  and the tomatoes, but the habanero peppers might need something more in the soil.  they are impy small (not like the ones hanging on the plant when i bought it).  at least they are hot.  i tried one yesterday.

[m1469]

Roasted lamb w/cucumber yogurt sauce, a green lettuce salad and a tall glass of iced water... mmmmmmm 


*while watching Le nozze de Figaro* (Finally doing some work)

[crazy for ivan moravec]

chicken adobo.

this is very filipino. chicken in soy sauce and a little vinegar. it wont be complete without the bay leaves and fresh pepper.

plus red wine...

[pianistimo]

mmm.  this is making me hungry.  i picked one of my habanero hot peppers.  now what to do with it?  i guess it doesn't take very much of it to add to hot salsa.  this one actually grew to about 5".  i have two gardens.  one is a small one and the other a large plot near a retaining wall.  the string beans kind of withered.  it was too hot.  but, the hot peppers did really well.  also, basil is doing well. 

my kids wanted mc donald's apple pie this morning.  so we went to mc donald's. 

[ce nedra]

Just had far too much port with my mother and friend (celebrating getting through 2 english exams of 3 hours each today)....... heehee.... and now I am eating – *devouring* – chocolate cake......

[annoying_airhead]

'LOL we tried to plant one before we discovered our soil is too... saline o_O'
Oh BuM!!!  That's too bad; it'd be cool to have one. 
We have an avacado tree in the backyard, but there still hasn't been any sign of the fruit - I was looking forward to eating its riches.  =(
And our plum trees have started to flower early - it's still winter.

Lunch in less than 10 min.  Apparently it's rice with stuff ('poison' according a sligtly-peeved-Cupcake)

MMmmmmmmmmm... Food.  I'm hungry.  =.

[penguinlover]

Wow, I need to go on a 40 day fast just from reading all this! 

banana and a piece of cake with chocolate icing

[jre58591]

a nice greek pizza with feta cheese and kalamata olives. trader joe's is the best market.

[ilikepie]

Angus burger and sausages with garlic rice.

i think ive been there....... and i had that panini.... are we the same person? do i know you?? it was damn tasty!!! is it a tiny shop that has the bar on the left as you go in, and some tables towards the back?

[annoying_airhead]

'If you're ever in Oxford, go to George Street and right next to the Apollo Theatre (which is now called the New Theatre - what a crap name lol Tongue ) is a place called La Croissanterie and it does the BEST panini's in the world!'

lol - where on earth is Oxford?

Ah well - this is coming from a person who took close to an hour and a half to find the Rialto Tower on Collins St. - my school is pretty close to the city (opposite Melb. Uni. in fact), so that's just a tAd embarrasing.  [Circled several blocks, which were in close proximity before I found it!]  =)

[lau]

I'm currently eating air, but earlier I had the biggest burrito I ever had. If you have ever heard of chipotle mexican grill, thats where i got it.  I couldn't imagine that thing being in my stomache when i looked at it and felt the heavyness of it.

[pianistimo]

trail mix

but, i made roast turkey for dinner.  this is how i made it:  soy sauce all over the turkey.  shake it in a bag of 1/2 C. flour and herbs.  cook it with water at the bottom of the pan for moisture.

it came out really good.  325 for two hours.  i also skin all my turkeys.  i think it makes them taste better (less fat, too). 

now i'm making wild rice.  it's not too wild.  it's fairly tame actually.  just looks a bit racy in the box.  i think it's also free range, considering the size of the kernels.
