Heh I wish, its only 2.45pm and I'm at work! *cries*

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:48 (twenty-two years ago)

For breakfast i had a BLT, coffee, fries, and a chocolate shake.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:58 (twenty-two years ago)

And that kind of tided me over for the rest of the day.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I think flan is flan all over.

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 03:59 (twenty-two years ago)

hmm, i'm getting a visual on that that is rather strange....

Very sick today, but have made a bruiseberry pie anyway: standard fruit pie, four parts blueberry to one part blackberry. I'm eating a piece of it now, and didn't let it cool down enough to actually be pie so much as "bowl of hot fruit + crust."

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 12 September 2003 23:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, and you gotta splash a little port in with the fruit, just a little. No lemon juice, port. (Usually I would use more blackberries but I wanted a mostly blueberry pie today.)

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 12 September 2003 23:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm kinda jealous of Tep. But you're old, right? Plenty time, plenty time...

Our kitchen is too messy to cook right now. Bah.

― David. (Cozen), Friday, 12 September 2003 23:50 (twenty-two years ago)

SPAGHETTI

― s1utsky (slutsky), Friday, 12 September 2003 23:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'm not quite old enough to mind being called old :) But yeah, I've been cooking for a long time, and have cooked most of the meals I've eaten in the last .. what, thirteen years now, I guess. (My mother worked many hours when I was in high school, so I did the cooking, which meant "microwaved marshmallows" wasn't gonna cut it anymore.)

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 12 September 2003 23:58 (twenty-two years ago)

How old are you then Tep? If you don't mind me asking.

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been assuming he's a "young" 79.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

28!

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Yup, old.

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I like to think of it as "too old for clowns, too young for golddiggers."

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Do 21, do 21!!!

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:08 (twenty-two years ago)

No no, I was really bad at being 21.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 13 September 2003 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I had some Thai Beef Salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, grilled beef and hot pepper sauce), some flank steak fried rice with jalapenos, steamed pork dumplings and a reeses. (nb, i cooked none of this however I supervised it's cooking.)

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Saturday, 13 September 2003 04:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a slice of pizza and ice cream. But I made bread last night and corn pancakes. I also made roast vegetable and black beans this week.

I am going to try to make chicken stock and with that make matzo ball soup again.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Saturday, 13 September 2003 05:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Today we'll have pasta with aubergines and olives for lunch. This morning I had a banana smoothie, peach yoghurt and chocolate paste toast. This evening probably salad with tuna or sth.

― nathalie (nathalie), Saturday, 13 September 2003 06:40 (twenty-two years ago)

a Sloppy Guiseppe Pizza Express pizza.

which I must defrost! thanks for reminding me, Tep.

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 13 September 2003 09:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, speaking of reminders, my new watch -- once I learn how to wear it (I'm taking it to a watchatician) -- doesn't have an alarm, so I'll be burning more things, I guess.

On deck today: ribs. It's Saturday. Ribs.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 13 September 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

about to make a hearty breakfast w/ eggs and toast. just made some extra-strength coffee.

― smoky topaz (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

had scrambled eggs, toast, hash browns and sausage this morning. Should've eaten something else as I'm now on my way to work and will probably regret not eating again shortly. oh well.

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Saturday, 13 September 2003 21:10 (twenty-two years ago)

pad thai. now cleansing my palate w/ rainbow ices.

― smoky topaz (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Paging Jode: clean the kitchen, it's a shithole, I can't cook in it.

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 13 September 2003 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

pizza was nice. Just had some peanut butter sandwiches. And an apple. I discovered today that there was one tree which i'd somehow failed to notice when I picked the apples a couple of weeks back, so once again I'm inundated with the things.

― MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 13 September 2003 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

― geeta (geeta), Saturday, 13 September 2003 23:41 (twenty-two years ago)

The girlfriend ended up staying in instead of going out, so ribs might wait (depends on how late I work). Chicken pot pie's about to come out the oven.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 14 September 2003 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

coffee, H2O,
tofu with corn peas garlic

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Sunday, 14 September 2003 00:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Pasta with a homemade (uncooked) tomato (homegrown), onion, basil, garlic, vinegar, olive oil sauce. With garlic bread and a bottle of red.

― nickn (nickn), Sunday, 14 September 2003 01:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Dumpster delight. A 50 cent can of Heinz cheezy beans, with home grown tomatoes, on some of the bread rolls found in a dumpster (a few hundred of them), and some Lay's BBQ chips also found in a dumpster (a whole van load.) Next week a hundred or more people are going to get free meals from this stuff.

― sucka (sucka), Sunday, 14 September 2003 07:28 (twenty-two years ago)

It's Sunday! So, sausage butties, obv.

― Matt (Matt), Sunday, 14 September 2003 13:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Matt, you need to post recipes. Any time you mention food, it sounds like something out of a Roald Dahl book. In a good way, though!

(I say this having made toad in the hole before, of all things. Why? Because it's frickin called toad in the hole, how could anyone need another reason?)

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 14 September 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Sausage Butties: Cook a sausage, butter a roll, add the two. Apply ketchup.

― David. (Cozen), Sunday, 14 September 2003 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, admittedly that sounds less exotic.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 14 September 2003 16:20 (twenty-two years ago)

getting ready to make a simple sunday dinner treat.
the lamb chops, in my throw-together simple style--in the pan, olive oil, garlic, shallot, rosemary, a few Cabo tomatoes, throw it on a bed of greens and sprinkle some cheese over it (haven't decided which kind)

― Orbit (Orbit), Sunday, 14 September 2003 23:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Since my vow to start doing more cooking, I bought a filet of tilapia at the market yesterday. Trouble is, I dont know what I'm supposed to do with it. Someone help.

― phil-two (phil-two), Sunday, 14 September 2003 23:21 (twenty-two years ago)

― duane, Sunday, 14 September 2003 23:26 (twenty-two years ago)

― Texas, Biyatch! (thatgirl), Sunday, 14 September 2003 23:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I bought a filet of tilapia at the market yesterday. Trouble is, I dont know what I'm supposed to do with it

This is one of my favorite fish to cook, but I haven't done very many things with it because it's so well-suited to my favorite way to cook fish that isn't salmon: simple coating in either crackermeal (breadcrumbs or Panko are substitutes) or sesame seeds, with a little salt and often whatever spices sound good at the moment, searing on both sides in a hot pan with enough oil to coat (they're not very thick, right? Searing will do nearly all the cooking), and then serving them with a squeeze of lemon, greens (collard, kale, mustard, what have you, washed well and dried, either cooked for several hours with beer and soy sauce and tasso, or stir-fried at as high a heat as the oil can stand with a little garlic thrown in at the last minute), and occasionally Teptartar sauce: bit of mayo, bit of chopped up pickled hot peppers, bit of green onion, bit of garlic.

Alternately, you can substitute tilapia for the chicken in my Blackened Chicken With Satsuma Vinaigrette recipe, on the "hit me with your best sauce" thread.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 14 September 2003 23:31 (twenty-two years ago)

As a more useful/general note: tilapia is vaguely sweet, in that fish-that-isn't-salmon-or-tuna way, and usually mild. Any recipe that calls for catfish can use tilapia instead. It pairs well with tropical fruits, especially citrus, and takes well to spice (but I think that of all fish and most of everything else).

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 14 September 2003 23:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Tep you are my hero.

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 15 September 2003 01:40 (twenty-two years ago)

But we don't need another hero!

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 15 September 2003 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

You're my hero anyway ;-)

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 15 September 2003 01:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I made my garlic pot roast.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 15 September 2003 01:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Describe!
