I just ate a delicious pastry. Is there anyone out there who doesn't like pastries? I doubt it, but if so I'd like to know why.

[Quirk]

Picked up some pepperoni rolls from this really good Italian deli today. Lunch tomorrow is going to be great.

My girlfriend and I make a *&^%ing ROCKIN' Chicken Korma. When I have the recipe in front of me, I'll have to share... we have dubbed it "happiness on a plate". It. Is. AMAZING.

Last night I whipped together a pretty quick-and-easy beef lo mein! It made a ton, so I actually got three meals out of it. It was as follows:

Basic Lo Mein
* 1 Package dried Chinese-style Soba Noodles
* 1 Medium onion, sliced then halved
* 1 clove garlic, crushed
* 2 tbsp. peanut oil
* 1 green pepper, sliced
* 1 handful sliced mushrooms, your choice (I used regular white mushrooms)
* one small package of thinly sliced beef (or you could slice your own beef) (not sure on the total amount)
* A metric assload of soy sauce
* 1 tsp of corn starch
* fresh-ground black pepper to taste

Boil the noodles for about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside. Then heat up the peanut oil on medium high and toss the beef on there. Season with the pepper and cook for about a minute, then toss in the onions and mushrooms. after another minute, throw in the green peppers. After another minute has passed add in as much soy sauce as you can stand and heat a little longer, then put aside. Fill the pan with about a half cup of water, a quarter cup of soy sauce, and the corn starch -- it should thicken up JUST a bit. When that's heated up put the noodles back on the pan and stir until well coated, then add the beef, onion, mushrooms, and green peppers and cook until everything is warm.

et voila!

Excuse my ignorance here but when you say sliced beef the only kind that really jumps to my read is roast beef. Would it be easy to find sliced beef in a local grocery store?

[AsuraChaos]

My favorite simple and probably not that healthy lunch/breakfast snack: Nutella and banana sandwhiches. Just toast some bread, slice up some bananas, and slather on the Nutella. It takes a bit of work making sure the bananas are evenly cut, and not falling out of the sandwich, but so delicious! Would probably be even more amazing if I added strawberries, but I next to never remember to buy them.

[Lieutenant Fish]

Oh man, I'd forgotten how good capers were until just now. Does anyone know where capers come from? Do they grow on trees? Are they some other plant after being pickled? Seriously, where the hell do they come from???

Most grocery stores will sell pre-packaged beef in a variety of cuts and styles. I don't mean deli-sliced, I mean stir-fry sliced. It will be in thin strips; it should be pretty obvious. Alternately, you can ask your butcher to cut your beef into thin strips for you.

[Maydame]

capers are little flower buds from caper bushes :3

[Lieutenant Fish]

Okay, thanks. My curiosity has been sated.

[Xijiy]

If it's that easy to find sliced beef Kuraiou then I may have to try that recipe you just gave to us. It sounds pretty delicious.

[Kuraiou]

Xijiy, where the heck do you live that beef is difficult to come by?

[Xijiy]

Hah, not beef but I've never seen beef in thin slices before so I wasn't sure if it was commonly cut that way. That's all I was trying to get across there.

[Stij]

Oh man

Smoked cheddar

is

THE BEST CHEESE

You can disagree with me but you will be wrong

My mom got some from an organic grocery store and it is amazing

[Lieutenant Fish]

How does one go about smoking cheese? Is it cured in a smoky room? Is it melted over a hickory fire and then allowed to re-solidify? I hunger for food knowledge as well as actual food.

[Maydame]

yeah! it can be cured with real smoke, or more conveniently you can use liquid smoke to flavour it.

This is kind of unrelated, but I just remembered, at my dad's wedding, me and my dad were eating some brie and one of us got the idea to stick it on a marshmallow-roaty-stick and toast it over the fire.

It was delicious.

[Kuraiou]

I get smoked cheese by going to the store and buying smoked cheese.

*rimshot*

Brie is... interesting. I like it, but I had it on a burger, and, well, as far as burgers are concerned swiss or cheddar is better.

I could talk about cheese all day. Especially Kerrygold brand cheeses (although Ivernia is way too strong for my tastes). god blarney castle, hngggggh

GUYS Anthony Nedroid, Of Nedroid Fame, made a recipe and posted it: It sounds delicious. Who is going to make this? I AM.

[Isoraqathedh]

We have a poster for a pizza at the local Pizza Hut (the only pizza place here) that claims to have six cheeses! If I remember correctly, some of them are cheddar, Parmesan, morazzela [definitely sp], and three others.

[Maydame]

the best sandwich with brie on it:

toasted bun
pulled pork
your favourite spicy-smoky bbq sauce, mixed with apple sauce and cinnamon
SO MUCH BRIE

aaaaahh

[inexpediency]

I could just eat a whole wheel of brie by itself

I really love brie you guys

but the best thing to do with brie is a nice brie en croute

just put a small wheel of brie on a sheet of puff pastry, top it with jam and toasted nuts, and then bring up the edges of the puff pastry to seal it all in.

oh, and then bake it, and don't forget the egg wash.

[AtomicFeedback!]

is coffee a food

because i think that's all i've eaten today :|a

OOPS, wow, i sure am hungry

[Maydame]

I... I have eaten a whole wheel of brie by myself

without crackers

:'D
