What are you EATING right now?

Tue Jan 19, 2016 10:39 pm

Hey, I came up with an idea for another one of these threads. :lol:

I've got some Smarties (the real ones) here from the trip to Hong Kong. Yum. :wink:

Edit: Funny enough, the forum refuses to search the phrase "what are you" "right now" because the words are too common (no way to force it). Umm, sure... that's kinda specific around here actually.

The search software considers all short words to be "too common." It's a silly limitation.

On-topic: I'm eating a grilled cheese sandwich.

Aww man.

You know, a little ways from my hometown (by the nearest Costco), there's a heavily Hispanic area. And with that comes lots of great hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurants. :lol:

Not eating anything right now, but I'm thinking of getting a little midnight snack. Maybe a piece of cheese, or some leftover roast pork, or a handful of Snapea Crisps and some dried cranberries.

Re the search function wonkiness... go to Google and enter the phrases you want to search, and add "site:techreport.com". E.g.:

"what are you" "right now" site:techreport.com

Oddly enough, that exact phrase returns this new thread, but not the old one (though I did manage to find it with some variations on that). Errgh.

I finally got some fried cheese sticks yesterday, for the first time ever (buffalo wings). Probably unhealthy as hell, but oh so good. :lol: And yeah, Snapeas have a tendency to disappear around my parents house.

Looks like the problem is that they are very common phrases (so lots of hits), and the thread is old enough that it gets pushed off the end of the results list.

250g of smoked mackerel with potato salad and side orders of olives and sundried tomatoes.

What I really want is a burger and fries with battered onion rings.

Working from home today, and having a "forage in the fridge for random stuff that isn't growing mold yet" lunch. I came up with:
- some quinoa tabouli that hasn't expired yet (barely)
- a small chunk of mystery cheese (might be Gruyere, not sure, the label was long gone but it still smells/looks/tastes like valid cheese)
- the dregs of a container of Costco olive salad (killed that one off)
- some sliced pears

There was a half-empty jar of radish kimchee in there too, I may go back for a little of that and stink up the place. :wink:

Edit: My office officially smells like stinky spicy fermented radishes now!

My wife and I have gotten into sous vide cooking in the last year and we're into it in a big way. If you're not familiar with it, it's essentially a 1) slow cook method in 2) a vacuum bag placed in 3) a hot water bath.

It takes some learning, but the results are fantastic. Here's a porterhouse steak cooking at 135oF (57oC) for 8 hours.
Image[

I didn't want a $500 countertop appliance, so I use a temperature controller that controls the temp of my crock pot by switching the power. I was a backer for the Codlo when they were on Kickstarter and I'm very happy with it. Because the temperature never gets above where you set it, you can dial in exactly how well you want your food cooked. You just have to be patient enough to let it cook all the way through. And here are the results:
Image

Please note how the medium-rare is nearly edge-to-edge on the steak. There's no gradient from medium-well to medium-rare, and that continues no matter the thickness of the steak. I finish up my steaks by giving them a rub with seasoning and then a 30-second sear on each side. You can skip that part if you like, but you'll essentially be serving a mass of pink meat. It won't look like a steak to your guests.

Anyhow, it's worked for us really well. It makes cheap steak the texture of fillets, and fillets you can cut with a fork. Ribs, by the way, take 48 hours and the meat will fall off the bone with a gentle tug. It just takes patience and planning ahead.
If there is one thing a remote-controlled, silent and unseeable surveillance/killing machine needs, it’s more whimsy. -- Marcus

Re: What are you eating Right Now

For carb-eschewers, what I'm eating ALL THE TIME right now:

Tortilla alternative: 1 whisked egg cooked in medium buttered pan for 30 seconds, flipped and cooked for another 15-30.

Nacho cheese: Land O'Lakes white American cheese melted in 60 second microwave bursts pound-to-cup with 2% milk, minced jalapeno/habanero/cayenne to taste.

Wrap up all sorts of meats (taco-style chicken or beef or pork, salt pork & bacon, deli-style turkey) and whatever veg floats your boat with generous smears of cheese (I'll put a tablespoon or two from the fridge in a little glass dish and nuke it for 45 seconds to remelt it).

Also when I crave the textural delight of a thin tortilla chip with the cheese, chicken cracklings stand in fine and then some. If you can't/won't skin a whole carcass (it's super-easy) you can often get chicken skins from your local butchers for free or hypercheap. Lay them out flat on a baking sheet, salt them well, place another baking sheet on top to keep 'em flat, and bake at 375 for 15 minutes, then start checking on them every 2-3 minutes for another 15 until they reach desired doneness (for me, golden & super-crispy). Depending on how much schmaltz renders out you may need to empty a tray. I've seen suggestions of foil or parchment to keep them from sticking but I've never had that happen; they're extremely fatty.

Oh, the pasta gods smiled benevolently upon me this evening.

Pasta Carbonara and I have had a poor relationship when it comes to the cooking side of the equation. It's either thin and runny or a cheese omelet with pasta. Used the Serious Eats recipe/technique (I've made many a great dinner thanks to SE) and daughter and I were treated to the best bowl of carbonara I've had in many a year. Using the remaining boiling pasta water as the heat source for a makeshift double-boiler worked perfectly. Good thing I perfected this now that we're moving into the colder months. Still can't find guanciale locally, though pancetta is easy to find.

And yes, there are 2 whole eggs and another 6 egg yolks in a single pound of penne pasta.
What we have today is way too much pluribus and not enough unum.
