good crusty bread sauteed or grilled portobello mushrooms goat cheese roasted red peppers spinach Now I'm hungry. |
I ended up roasting a chicken. So I guess I will be having chicken salad/chicken soup/etc for lunch over the next few days. |
|
i know how you feel. we've been the same way. nothing sounds good. we're too lazy to be cook anything and going to the store to try and come up with something seems so laborious. |
i don't have the patience to cook everyday anymore. but i don't have the money to eat out or order in every damn day. lately i've just taken to making a week's worth of food (or near) on sunday and keeping it in the fridge. last sunday it was the salmon patties. (last night i made the mistake of watching a documentary about orcas where they talked about the ravages of commercial salmon farming and the amount of toxins in the food supply.) i think next time i'll make a stew and enough chicken salad for the week. |
I recently discovered the tuna melt. Where has that sandwich been all my life? I do that a lot too, Droop, the making of a large batch of food and eating it over the course of the week. However, I often find that I never want to see it again after several servings. Like, above, I totally lied. The fridge wasn't empty, I just didn't want to see/smell/think about the curried butternut squash soup that has been sitting in there for days, patiently waiting to be eaten. Maybe I should stick it in the freezer. The really depressing thing is that even when I give up and decide to go out, nothing sounds good to me. I think that might be more a fault of the serious shortage of good/interesting restaurants up here. I certainly never had that problem when I was living in the City. |

a menu item at Astro Diner in LA. no one i was ever there with, especially after a night of boozing, would ever dare go for it. |

has anyone ever had a fish taco? every so often someone forces one on me. generally, it's made with tilapia. i hate 'em. i think it's the combination of the fish and the corn tortilla; for some reason, it seems unnatural. |
it was a filet of sol (soul?) wrapped around a fist full of light blue cheese and staked together and then quickly seared then broiled for a minute or so. it literally melted in your mouth. droop as i understand the best fish tacos in LA didnt use corn tortillas but flour. the trick is that the fish must be friend and the sauce....is like a spicy thousand island-y type sauce. anything else is crap |
And I am a big fan of fish tacos, actually, but yes, they need to be constructed very carefully. (I prefer corn tortillas, myself, but I'm open to the idea of flour.) I had some pretty delicious ones the last time I was in Hawaii from some sketchy roadside stand in Maui. |
|
avo and pico with fish tacos. drizzled with creamy cilantro vinaigrette. corn tortillas a must. otherwise it's CRAP. |
one of the best fish experiences i've ever had was in mexico: a whole red snapper - head, scales, and tail. i think it was deep fried. i tried to eat one of the eyes, but it was as hard as a marble. |
