Soooooo Whatcha Eating?

I thought the Big Kahuna was a burger??? A tasty burger, at that. :biggrin5:

Since it is cold this week -- one of our three weeks of winter -- I used the leftover xmas ham bone to make some ham and bean soup. My house was designed to deal with hot temperatures, with high ceilings and HVAC vents on the ceilings, not down near the floors like they are up North. That soup really hit the spot.

That looks good CD. I made big old pot of chili. Good warm comfort food for a cold Ohio night.

 

Did a take on chicken pot pie, will post a pic when I'm at the pc.

 

I had a couple of neighbors over today. One made a pot of chili, and I made some cornbread from scratch. Chili and cornbread are a deep South staple. You crumble the cornbread in a bowl, and ladle you chili on top.

Both were good. I'm getting the chili recipe from my friend, because his is better than mine. I ate two bowls.

My daughter made a shepherds pie for me. I'll try to remember to take a pic tomorrow when I bake it.

Oh yeah. For lunch today we had collard greens and black-eyed peas from last summers garden. Both cooked with a chunk of side meat and we had fried cornbread to go with it.

 

Shepherds Pie. :drool
Made with a combination of ground venison, fresh pork country sausage, and ground beef.

 

I sautéed some shrimps in garlic butter, and dusted them with some cayenne pepper. Served on fried rice.

Went down the hill for lunch to my favorite Thai place, less that a mile round trip.

Yellow Curry with Shrimp and Tom Yum 3 Mushroom soup.

Casey's Shrimp on fried rice looks very good and simple.

I went big-time today, and made Korean bibimbap. Way too much work for one person to put together, even with good prep work. Trashed my kitchen, too.

But, it was good. Nonetheless, I think I'll be eating bibimbap at the local Korean restaurant from now on.

Looks like you did a great job CD. I agree with you too. Way too much hassle to prepare for one. The best that I've found within driving range of me is the Korean Super Market. About 70 miles away. Now you've got me craving some Korean food.

 

There is a place less than five miles from me that makes bibimbap, and it is good. If I go down into the Korean part of Dallas, there are Korean BBQ places every 100 yards. That's about 30 minutes away, in light traffic. I really like Korean food, except kimchi.

I developed a taste for Kimchee while I was spending time in Korea. I was over there three times from the late 60's to the late 70's. Learned that you had to eat kimchee as a self defense mechanism because all the local gals ate it. As long as you eat it too you never notice the smell. This was back before everyone had a refrigerator and kimchee was the main vegetable in the average diet during the winter. I really like the cucumber kind.

 

breath Kimchee or fart Kimchee? Curious!

 

My understanding is that you breathe it at first, and burp it later, and then sweat it even later. If you eat a lot of garlic, the same thing happens.

I made Peposo last night, a centuries old Italian peasant dish. It is short ribs, rubbed with garlic paste, and heavily covered with fresh cracked pepper. You braise it for about three hours in red wine. You can serve it over the starch of your choosing, I went with penne pasta.
