Food! [The thread that started this section]

i dont think that would be a problem..
*edit* too late..
 
Dilemma: It?s sunday, the stores are closed ... and you want some pizza (and are too cheap to either go out or order). You have all the ingredients ... but dough, nor ingredients for dough. What you have is wholemeal Bread (to be Toast) ...

And I give you the Solution ... the Toast-Pizza. Topped with fatty Pork Saussage (Mettendchen), Paprika, ground Mozarella and generic Pizza-tomato sauce ...

I posted here because neither the Sandwich- nor the Pizza-thread seemed a good fit :)

Made myself some macaroni (well, cellentani technically) and cheese in the oven tonight. The results?





SUPREMELY tasty. Took over an hour, but I made a lot of it (that's a 2.5 quart/2,37 L bowl in the pic). This is the recipe I was following, only I replaced the cottage cheese with ricotta, since I don't have a blender to smooth out the lumps with. I will definitely be making this again! :D
 
Needs more crunchy/chewy browned cheese. Needs more surface area. :)

Totally agreed. I'd like to get a shallower baking dish at some point to do that. I'd also probably swap in a milder cheddar for the bulk of the dish and only use extra sharp for the browned cheese on top. I used Cabot's "Vintage Choice" this time, which was, uh, a bit much to use throughout the whole thing. :lol:

A sharp, crispy top layer would be a great contrast to milder, creamier pasta below, though.
 
So my graduation dinner was tonight. We went to a place called Iridescence. It's in the Motor City Casino in Detroit. Hella expensive but very good.

This is what I had. They called it 'A tale of two chickens.'

Description, man, DESCRIPTION!

From the top left going clockwise.

-Breaded chicken, no bones (surprisingly). It was very good but you can only do so much with breaded chicken.
-Condensed watermelon. It's watermelon.
-Cornbread. The little skillet was amusing. The cornbread tasted a little dry but otherwise very good.
-This is the best part. I don't remember exactly what went on it but it was very soft and fell apart when you tried to pick it up with a fork. Reminds me of BBQ but it definitely wasn't BBQ. If i remember correctly, they cooked the chicken, then used the grease from cooking it to make the sauce for both this chicken and the breaded chicken. I don't normally like onions but everything just blended together to make the best chicken I've ever had.
-A chunk of bacon. Very good. Slightly crispy on the outside but very soft on the inside.
 
Thank you. :)

Coq au vin, according to the menu. They probably made a red wine reduction for the sauce.

Unsweetened banana chips pretty much taste like ass :(

Eating healthy sucks.
 
I wouldn't call banana chips healthy since they are essentially made the same way potato chips are. Any nutrition from the banana is lost when it's fried.

the banana "chips" i know are just dried banana, only thing missing should be water :dunno: (chips may not be the right word because of that...)

[QUOTE="eizbaer, post: 0"]no it doesn't! if it sucks, you're simply not doing it right :)[/QUOTE]

The German is right. For instance, get some salad, add a healthy dressing and shred those chips over it as croutons. I bet that'll taste a lot better, and won't be any less healthy.
 
And don't eat too much of those banana chips, because despite being fruit, bananas have a lot of calories ;)

Correct, these are dried bananas.

Yeah, thats what the nutrition app told me when i entered it in. Kinda shocked, it sounded healthy. I may try apple chips today.

If you go to Trader Joe's, you can get dried mangoes without added sugar, so they're not too bad for you. That said, not all calories are bad. It's the type of calorie that's bad for you, like 200 calories of donut is much worse for you than, say, 500 calories of whole grain.
