Potato cubes with a little olive oil and tomato sauce in a pan to give it a little jazz. Then some grilled chicken breast. and to top it up, some balsamic vinager circles. !!! SHAZAM!
if you like to cook, put some pics of dishes that you have made.
Fun thread idea!
For awhile I was on this crazy diet that allowed for no no non-monosaccharride sugars or starches. I got good at cooking odd things:
SCD Mock-General Tso's Chicken-Almond flour and egg battered dark meat with a honey glaze (honey, garlic, green onions, ginger, dried chili peppers, pepper) with steamed green veggie thingies that I forgot the name of.
Homemade yogurt with homemade cinnamon applesauce, topped with fresh blueberries and strawberries and sprinkled with ovenroasted crushed pistachios.
i saw a documentarie where they talked about garlic and said that erectile disfucntion could be beaten if man ate like 4 raw garlic a day. they cant be cooked or else the property that helps the blood flow to the penis gets lost. they also said its good for the your health. so you have something good going on for you.
hehe, well, I looked that up just to see if I was remembering it correctly, toad in the hole seems to be something totally different, but I also had images showing the egg in bread...strange. Maybe it has different meaning sin the UK and Eastern Canada :P
Look really nice bitmap, makes me hungry and jealous that I only, I mean mostly eat out of containers :poly135:
lololol
maybe you could make some cooking with stuff that comes in containers. lol
a little tuna salad... or tuna with mayo and boiled egg on a bread. instant w1n
Eggs in a basket for me... that's what I've always heard it called atleast... I just call it good (except eggs give me stomach issues these days for some reason )
i wish i had my failure of french toast pic uploaded
Alright, I've gotta know how you did this. It's about lunch time right now and I actually just tried to replicate this because it looked awesome. I ended up with some French toast and scrambled eggs.

Great. Your bits work, but no-one will come within 1/2 mile of you.

Teach me.
The way I was shown, was to fold the bread in half, take a bite out of the middle so it makes a hole, drop it in the pan, crack an egg and pour it in the hole.
I usually use a small glass or measuring cup, then press it into the bread. I then butter the bread on both sides (kind of messy), then drop it into a preheated pan, then crack the egg into it.
Boneless/skinless chicken breast butterflied and stuffed with salmon and feta w/herbs. Garlic-herb coucous, snow peas and a feta-soy sauce top it off. yummy
In the American South and other parts of the English-speaking world, this concoction is often known as "egg in a basket" or "toad in the hole", not to be confused with the sausage and Yorkshire pudding dish of the same name. In Australia it is sometimes known as a "square egg". It is often a breakfast favorite among children. In New Jersey and South Philadelphia, this may be known simply as "Alabama eggs" or "Alabama-Style Eggs" (despite not actually being commonly eaten in Alabama). In parts of Texas it is sometimes known as a "Popeye". In parts of Alaska it is sometimes known as "Midnight Sun." This style is also referred to as a "nest egg," "nested egg," "framed egg" or "egg in the hat".
Joe, you straight up eating RAW garlic? IEW ;D
I love garlic, don't get me wrong. Just...cooked is all
Hahah, if I remember right I had a bunch of cloves that I was peeling for a prep-ahead recipe, and I decided the food in that dish looked too plain, so I tossed the garlic on the side just to fill it out for the photograph. The cloves ended up stuffed whole inside a pot roast (yay crockpot!), if I remember right.
though, I think there's some korean recipes that call for whole, uncooked cloves. I dunno.
Here's some more dishes I made back when I was on that diet. I made a lot of cool things but sadly didn't photograph very many.
Spiced Chicken shown with a backdrop of a every yellow fruit I had--Chicken; honey, nutmeg, cinnamon, raisins, cloves, salt, garlic, pepper, olive oil, homemadeyogurt yogurt, butter, lemon, lemon rind. Also, Green Beans and Spaghetti Squash; which I let dehydrate for several hours to create something quite unappetizing that, in theory, would have been awesome crunchy. Butter helped. Lotsa butter helped more.
That chicken though is still the best chicken recipe I've ever come across.
Wow you guys made some awesome looking/ sounding dishes! I recently got into cooking myself. I love adding serrano peppers, onions, cilantro and garlic to my favorite dishes.
so how do you go about making that salmon stuffed chicken?
Roh oh, you need a youtube video? hehe
You just butterfly the breast, then lay in the salmon fillet. Put whatever you want inside (I'll usually put herbs & lemon slices), then you either just flip the breast over and seal with toothpicks (which is what I did in that pic), or you can roll it up tight and seal with toothpicks, which looks fancier when you cut it. When you buy salmon fillet at the store, there's usually skin on one side to hold it together. You'll have to get a sharp knife and cut the skin away. If the knife is sharp, it's easy. You cut a little skin back (skin facing down) then you hold the knife in one spot and pull on the skin - it just slides down the knife and you end up with a perfect skinless fillet
You quickly sear the outside in some olive oil over med-hi, then toss in a 350º oven for about 15-20min. Take out the toothpicks and lemon slices (if you cut them REALLY thin, they'd cook enough to eat), then it's chow time!
Like I said, in the authentic Irish dish, they batter and deep fry it. hah. Tasty to be sure, but mine is a bit more healthy.

I guess they're both right.
"that's what she said! " ohsnap
It was that, or fried liver pudding on toast w/ cheese.
Teach me.
eggy bread is different to egg in bread, by the way. Egg in bread is just weird, cut it out.

Fuck yeah! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Make it count.

You guys are makin me hungry. That chicken looks kickass joe.
A bit more ordinary, but aye, cheese tosti.
And a fine latte
this could well be a food thread!
shazam!
Actually, it's an Irish dish (except the Irish deep-fry it)
Tastey looking latte there, Joris. What kind of cheese you use in that? Swiss? Mozz? Jarlsberg? Mmmm
