I only mixed them until they were just mixed, if that makes sense. Then I let it rest for a few minutes. The middles were gummy and I didn't think they had a good flavor.
In writing it out I'm thinking I had the stove temp too high which is why the middles were gummy. I also think I needed to use buttermilk to make them really tasty.
Hot. Dog. Casserole, bitches. It's what's for dinner!

Homemade spaghetti carbonara two days ago. I would have posted, but I was too busy eating it. It was gooooooooood...
I'm currently waiting for the summer's new potatoes to come in, those will go great in a stew.

Shrimp and steak. soooo good.
That offer to be my personal chef is still open.I haven't posted anything in quite a while, so...
Roast pork tenderloin and shallots on a bed of savory spiced cherries.
I feel way too lazy to cook dinner right now, so my dinner currently consists of a shitty beer (Brava. It's cheap and I'm unemployed).
I am probably going to partner it with a salad. I need to fry up my eggplants before they go bad, but that'll be for tomorrow's dinner.

I didn't want to say anything, but you've been talking to yourself in this thread for years.

I ordered a pizza from local pizza joint Pizza 73 (terrible pizza generally, but they're cheap, TRASH PIZZA FUCK LOCKED THREAD) and they're doing this promotion where you spin a virtual wheel to see what you've won free on your next order. It's usually crap like a bottle of coke or cheese bread or other dumb shit like that. I won a free dip. Dips are 25 cents. Bullshit.
Once again we are having pancakes. Tonight they have confetti sprinkles in them! Fancy. lol
Fried vegetables with chicken,marinated in soy sauce and garlic.
We ate at a place in San Antonio yesterday called Dough Pizzeria Napolatana. Wonderful, wonderful wood-fired oven pizza, the one on top is called Pork Love (salami, sausage, pancetta & speck) and the other is a sauceless Pancetta pizza. All the mozarella is made in-house and the crust is thin and has such a delicious flavor.
Actually, I like New York-style pizza and I think those look really good. I love thin crust pizzas - especially when you can fold the slices to eat them. Best pizza I ever had was in Rome and the crust was so thin you could eat the whole pie by yourself because it didn't fill you up like a thick crust. Nom nom nom!!
I'm trying to decide what to make for dinner tonight and now this thread has given me too many ideas. My biggest problem is that...well...how do I put this nicely?
[user]General Specific[/user] will not be a big boy and eat his vegetables!
Unlike his mother, I'm not going to make him eat them. However, this proves for some difficulty in the kitchen. I grew up eating fresh produce and fruits but the man won't touch 'em. I have no idea how to cook meals with only meats, cheeses, and carbs! Any advice from picky eaters out there in Forum Land?

Spaghetti squash? With eggplant instead of beef?
Then he'd veggie or starve... or hit a drive-thru.

I haven't given him spaghetti squash, which is one of my favorite foods! I might actually try that tonight. I know he won't eat eggplant. Personally, I can't go without fresh foods. It makes me feel gross when I've eaten only meat and starches.
My husband was not a big fan of veggies when we first got married. His mom and aunts cooked them until they were practically mush. I like them sauteed or steamed so they are still kind of crisp when you eat them. That made a difference in his objections to quite a few vegetables. I also hide vegetables in other foods, like pureed cauliflower in mac & cheese or chopped zucchini and spinach in lasagna.

Not a big fan of veggies myself, dill616 ... but at mom's insistence, I've tried asparagus with my meat and potatoes. Just toss the asparagus into the pan after you've cooked the meat, let the little green buggers soak up some of the flavour, and serve. Admittedly I also apply herb sauce on top off it all, but the slightly steakified flavour of the asparagus is growing on me. Fried zucchini is also tasty, but I haven't figured out how to do that properly. There's also the difficulty of finding zucchini on a regular basis; Finns ain't too big on that particular veggie 
Also, spinach in spaghetti carbonara. Frickin' deee-lish!

I'm with you on the marinara sauce, Gared. If I use a store bought jar, I usually need to simmer it down for 6-7 hours just to get rid of the extra water content. I will literally spend all day turning a jar of Ragu into something useable and a whole jar is only enough for like 2 plates after that.
Also, if you want to eat more veggies, I highly recommend adding mushrooms to your pasta instead of meat. They get delightfully chewy and take on the flavor of whatever you cook them in.

[user]General Specific[/user] better prepare to EAT ALL THE VEGGIEBLES!
He did try a bite of my spinach alfredo pizza once and said, "It's not horrible." PROGRESS!
