Food Porn thread

I actually don't have anything to start with, just realizing that we have a bunch of foodied and that threads involving pictures never die. tonight's non-food porn dinner, old Bay tots, fried shrimp with romaolade and a side of armorall. 

Oooh and a nilla candle for dessert!

Mmmmmmmmmm!

As tasted last week while staring at the ocean.

The concept of Old Bay tots has me drooling on my shirt right now.

Well it took until the 4th post for someone to take foodporn literally. Congratulations internet.

In reply to AngryCorvair :

They don't come like that, but I figured it'd pair well with the triple dry hopped homebrew IPA. 

For dinner I boiled some elbow macaroni, pan fried the result with some Swiss and Pepper Jack cheese, an egg for some semblance of healthiness, and excessive salt and pepper so that I had an excuse to moderate the final product with sour cream.

Oh, and there was celery involved too, because celery should always get involved.  Two stalks got cut up and mixed into the frying process.

Simple and good.  I may have hit a high score for cholesterol, though, but I have already outlived most of my male ancestry, so I assume my arteries are made of iron.

A good friend egg that runs into a rich velvety mess when cut into, cascading it's richness onto everyhieve that's below it, is one of the most simple indulgences in the culinary world. So readily available in supplies, but lacking in ability of most.

My wife's first attempt at sorbet. Strawberry Lime:

I make nerd cakes and other yummy baked goods :)

Because the Georgia Peach Truck was in town - peach pie awesomeness.

Ribs...

Well, I guess it's impossible to interpret the title of the post any better than that.

Here's some chocolate chip, coconut, pecan banana bread that I made.

Sunflower seed yeast bread

Wild caught Alaska salmon

Those images got DEVO videos banned back in the day. I hope my levity was not offensive. 

Another appropriate punk quote from our buddies the Descendants: "I like food, food tastes good."

To re-steer my thread-jack in the appropriate direction: (Unfortunately, I did not prepare this)

We had fried squash medallions, corn on the cob and cornbread for dinner tonight. Damn good eats.

Kaiser roll, horseradish, mustard, and about an entire German town's output of braunschweiger.

This has been my lunch for the past two days.  The good part:  It cost me about $3/day, because the deli sells braunschweiger sandwiches for less than they would charge for just selling the meat as a deli item.  I think they're just happy to move it so they don't have to throw it out, so they load up the sandwiches heavily.  Fortunately, for me. I think it tastes awesome.  (One of my co workers looks on with disgust and calls it dog food.  If this is dog food, then bring on the Alpo)

Tomorrow, lunch is a corned beef sandwich so huge that I'm actually going to split it up so I can have some for Friday.  With horseradish.  Everything is better with horseradish.

I've been trying to develop my skills with yeast breads for a few years. I came home with some sourdough starter, so I'm going to be branching out.

My buddy gave me some smoked pulled pork and the wife and I fried it and put it on buttered toast with a couple of over easy eggs on top of it all. The only thing missing was maybe some of the great salsa verde my buddy had at the taco bar that he served with the meat.

We use the grill almost every night. The plating isn’t fancy, but the food wa good.

Ooh lamb goodness.  Looks tasty.

I hate to disappoint you but the photo above was actually beef

In reply to Floating Doc :

I am not much of a baker, but I make a mean beer bread.  Probably because it is so easy.  A bunch of flour, a little salt, a little baking powder, a couple bottles of Guinness Extra Stout, mix and throw in a suitably shaped container, and some of the best tasting bread is only 45 minutes away.  Eat it hot fresh from the oven, sliced thick, with way too much butter.

Way way WAY easier than making, say, Russian black bread.

As a bonus, you get to do something with that Stout that you bought on a whim, that doesn't involve having to drink it.

I'll see your beefy goodness and raise you fresh red snapper fish tacos...
