What's for dinner?

[lxskllr]

Little Caesar. Not coincidentally, that'll also be breakfast tomorrow.

Tonight's dinner. 10 pounds of 4/7 count king crab legs. But it wasn't really 4/7 size. The box had 9 legs and 1 claw so it was barely 6/9. But it was one of the bigger size legs I've seen in recent months so I bought it. Now I feel sick from crab overdose. Three of us finished the entire 10 pounds.

untrue 4/7 size label. It's barely 6/9 size. Costco always lies and mislabels the king crab legs they sell. Someone needs to call them out on their deceptive practice.

Small banana for scale. At 6/9 size, crab legs are still big and thick.

Single leg on my plate

It was pretty meaty.

Washed it all down with cheap $6 Pinot Grigio

 

[snoopy7548]

WTF. That leg looks like an appendage from the monster in The Thing.

I had mushy defrosted leftover crock pot chicken noodle soup and a salad.

Papa Johns

I had to look this up:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...fter-blaming-the-nfl-for-sagging-pizza-sales/

He said the practice of players kneeling during the anthem to raise awareness of police brutality and social injustice hurt the NFL’s TV ratings, which in turn hurt sales of his pizza, which is advertised heavily during games.

derp. lol

Edit: Oh man, it got worse haha

In the days after Schnatter’s remarks, white supremacist publication the Daily Stormer dubbed Papa John’s as the official pizza of the alt-right. Papa John’s spokesman Peter Collins told the Courier-Journal that the company was caught off-guard by the endorsement and condemned “racism in all forms.”

“We do not want these individuals or groups to buy our pizza,” he said.

Meh, I only eat pizza from local shops (if I don't make my own.) Tastes far better than any chain pizza.

How would you know if you never had any chain pizza since you only eat the local shop pizza pies?

There are lots of people like that. They also only watch movies or tv shows they know they'll like. Go places they'll enjoy, and do things that they know are worthwhile. It's kind of obvious really. Why take the risk of venturing out beyond preconceived notions?

I agree with your sentiment, and I understand.
I used to be the same way when it came to Taco Bell.

In the taco bell breakfast thread I made fun of taco bell and talked about how great all the local mexican places are and that taco bell was guttertrash. People more or less said "of course its not real mexican food, but its still tasty, give them a try." I swallowed my pride and went to taco bell, had a tasty "mexican pizza", a crunchwrap, and a quesadilla. They are fuggin tasty. I had sworn off taco bell for like 20 years, because as a teenager it was a "we eat here all the time" place and then I discovered real Mexican food in the 90s and got hooked.

Anyhow, my whole point is that variety is the spice of life. Going to places you think you won't like will often surprise you. Things at Dominos are wayyyy better than I remember them to be from the 90s Dont make a habbit of ordering from them every week, but once every few years, give them a try, you might find things a lot improved from what you remember in the past.

Have any leftovers?

 

[Vericonx]

Some Asian noodles in a box. Been looking at the thing for two years, and wanted to get rid of it.

Good lord, how did that turn out?
Meanwhile, I decided on some bangers and mash.

I was just introduced to caramelized plantains, the Dominican version (plátanos al caldero) & am now addicted to them. I have a growing belief that every food out there has an amazing way that it can be cooked, which can change your mind on whether you like it or not, or that can even take a certain ingredient from good to great. Like, I've had plátanos tostones plenty of times, as well as plátanos maduros, and there are other variations like plátanos en tentacion & plátanos calados, and even dulce de plátanos, but plátanos al caldero are what go me hooked! It's a bit weird at first because it's not a dessert, it's a side, almost like a sweet potato, and it's not like initially awesome when you start eating it, but it grabs you as you keep eating it - crispy caramelized exterior and soft & mushy - yet meaty - interior. Much different than the other ways I've had it cooked in the past. Now, to figure out how to replicate the recipe at home!

I found that they actually go really well with a bit of salt and Heinz ketchup

I eat a lot of different things. The other night we made my Wife's signature Hot Pork barbecue.
We went to the butcher and got 2 lbs of thinly sliced Pork Butt and placed that in a 2 gallon zip bag.
Then you take a cereal bowl and in the bottom put about 3/4 inch of soy sauce, some sesame oil,
some chopped green onions, garlic and 2-3 table spoons of Korean hot bean paste. You mix it up and
just pour it in the big zip lock bag and from the outside of the bag squish it all around in the meat.
We also made some Korean style spinach, some sea weed sheets (Kim) roasted, and Rice. you chop up
the pork and mix it with the rice and spinach and wrap it up and consume massive quantities.

The normal way of cooking the pork inside is in a large deep dish skillet using the cold cooking method.
That means put in the skillet cold and then start to heat it up not raising the heat too high.

This may be enough meat for 2 meals.

 

[piasabird]

My type of Korean beef and vegetable stew.
One large 6-8 sauce pan.
cut up 1 lb of chuck or other beef
add soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, chopped green onion
Then chop up 1 yellow onion, green zuckini and yellow squash
add other vegetables to taste like mushrooms, and Carrot chopped into matchsticks
throw vegetables into stew pot and season it as desired like pepper or Mrs Dash, etc
add a little extra soy sauce and sesame oil. Be careful with salt if you use soy sauce
because it is already salty. add 1-2 cups of water and turn it on high, reducing the heat
as you go. It looks like there is a lot of vegetables but as they get soft they reduce much
smaller like onions. I like my vegetables soft so when that happens it is done.

I sometime serve this over a little brown or sweet rice. Sometimes add some Soba (Buckwheat) noodles.

My dad mixed up some good quality beef mince and some crap sausage meat.The meatballs were delicious.I think he added garlic and herbs.
