Ah kale is amazing. I do some with loads of garlic and onion and a heaping amount of berbere and smoked hot peppers. Gives it a bite, a punch, a body, and a whole lot of flavor.

Crab is amazing. Sure you can have the crap crab legs from a chinese buffet, but nothing beats fresh blue crab from the chesapeake, smothered in Old Bay seasoning. It's just not the same without that stinging burn whenever you cut yourself on the shell. Funny enough after a trip to the Outer Banks in NC my friend and I decided that if our careers ever fell through we'd learn to play instruments and make a band called "Old Bay and Blood."

Anyhow crab, as grat as it is, really doesn't fill you up. You just eat it until you get bored, become incapacitated from grevious injury or blood loss, or become too drunk to continue. Usually the last one. In my family eating crab is just an excuse to drink mass quantities of beer.

And again, I have my mayo-curry-chicken-noodle-veggies salad thing.

I also discovered that pre-mayo version is nice too. A good, tasty, if not a bit dry, stuff. I wonder if I can make a full meal out of that one day...

PS: Also, Bigos. Which is boiled sauerkraut with sausage, ham and mushrooms, and spices, and just a bit of tomato paste. 'Old times' version includes boar meat, red wine and plums.

Sounds like the good times I've had with a big tin pail of peel-and-eat shrimp down on the coast.
"Mmmmm....let me rip the exoskeleton off these oversized arthropods and consume their tasty flesh, after I've ripped off the head and legs of course." Kinda feels like something Klingons would do. 

[Haspen]

Klingons would eat them whole and take a sip of blood wine with it

I wish I could eat and eat and eat and not gain weight and or any other adverse effects xD

*sigh*

I feel like eating crispy dumplings that are piping hot on the inside, the small crescent shaped ones, not the big fist-sized ones. Them, with rice! <3

Another 40 minutes and my root beer pork that's been sitting in the slow cooker all day'll be ready! I'm so hungry from smelling it...

[Frumple]

I guess it fits here better than happy thread...

Anyway, today I have breaded (sorta' -- I threw in some of the crumbly bits at the bottom of a chicken nugget bag) my standard mashed potato thickened ramen (with some cheese added~). It's pretty decent.

Substituted bullion for the normal flavor packet (which will eventually be put in some rice, probably -- ramen packet stirred into just-cooked rice tastes way better than it has any right to.), to knock the salt content down a little.

Also accompanied by the standard chicken nuggets -- half flavored with soy sauce (three-four drops each), the other half with cane syrup (though I'd prefer maple, of course.). BBQ sauce f'dippin'.

I only use half a packet of seasoning for 1 package of ramen. Stuff is waaaaaayyyy too salty, and I say that as a salt man. I can't even look at chicken ramen, what I ate frequently as a teen.

Most of the time now though I buy ramen so I can use the noodles for something else.

[Frumple]

Yeah, I've been cutting back a fair bit lately. Salt content of those things are plain ridiculous, but it's not as bad when spread over a good six (once cooked) cups or so of rice.

Grandmother has a habit of cooking the noodles, draining them, and then stirring in either hummus or cumin, usually with some cayenne pepper thrown on. Haven't tried it myself, but she swears by it.

Iirc, a cousin has either a gumbo or some sort of vegetable stew he uses the flavor packets in, so even the unused stuff gets thrown into something eventually. Stuff may only be around a dime, but by the gods that dime's purchase will be used.

Sounds kinda like a quick curry-ish sort of thing. I might have to try that. Add a little bit of butter as a base, throw it back into the pan and toss it around with a few more seasonings...

yesterday we had breakfast for lunch. Scrambled eggs w/ cheese and ham, deer meat wrapped in bacon and stuffed with onions and green peppers, and hashbrown casserole.

FUUUUUCK YEH.

I have not good vension since my last curry.

I'm having tea right now. With one teaspoon of sugar.

Still eludes me how people can drink it with milk, like them Brits :v

[Sirus]

Had my first Thai food today from a local hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Main dish was some curry-seasoned chicken on kebabs, rice on the side. It was actually really good considering that just one person was working there, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

Smooths the flavour, and mellows out some of the tannins. Nothing beats a BIG (I use a small, 0.5L stein) mug of black tea with a tsp of sugar and a jot of milk

Awww man, good Thai is to die for. I used to live near a tiny little thai takeaway place run by a little thai woman and her aunt or mother. Cheap, fast, and to this day, the best thai food Ive ever had; sure fancy restaurants had better presentation, but they could never get that same balance of flavour. Also, spicy enough to melt through steel, which is surprisingly rare in most Aussie fast food.
