something incredibly unappetizing looking, but tasty as heck. had a bunch of leftover odds and ends from taco night, but not enough of any of them to do anything big with, so i raided the pantry for 2 boxes of mac and cheese and 2 cans of chili. made up the mac, threw in the chili, the last quarter of a jar of salsa, the last of a jar of queso dip, and the remainder of a bag of shredded cheese, and an onion i diced up. came out as a bowl of brown glop, but yum. was drat tasty, will be dinner the next 3 days

last day of homemade chicken parm with spaghetti in a blush sauce, and garlic bread. i thought i only had 2 more slices of garlic bread, turned out i had 4, but i only had one more piece of chicken, so toot toot, all aboard the delicious carb on carb train. it was so good. ive said it before and i'll say it again, aldi's red bag chicken has no right to be that good.

does baking a dessert count? my houemate's been going through some rough times this month, so i baked him a cake as some small way to cheer him up, even a little. we have very little in the way of proper baking equipment, so i had to use a dutch oven to make the cake, but dang if it didn't come out nice and fluffy. sawed it in half, did a layer of chocolate icing and coconut, and put the top back on and coated the whole thing in more of the same. holy cow did it turn out ugly, but incredibly delicious.

an absolutely killer breakfast sandwich. Toasted brioche bun, a spread for said bun made of just a little mayo and some honey bbq sauce. fried chicken patty (aldi red bag crew), a slice of melted cheddar, a couple strips of thick cut, peppered bacon, a nice crispy hash brown, and a fried egg. it was unbelievably good. everything was aldi store brand, and i cant recommend this combo enough. one of the best breakfast sandwiches ive ever had, if not the best.

Lt. Cock posted:I randomly bought a bento box at target a week ago. I’ve been trying to cook for dinner and to put the box together for lunch at work the next day. Here’s how tonight went. It’s a fun way to do meal prep and I’d recommend grabbing one. that looks great! asian food owns. have you discovered the wonder of black vinegar?

Lt. Cock posted:Oh yeah, you have no idea how deep I’m in. Pittsburgh has so many amazing Asian markets and I love making everything from scratch. Black vinegar goes into the chili oil I make at the very end with some soy sauce and sesame oil. hell yeah, of course my dude. i go through a lot of chili oil and black vinegar too. i love me some fried rice, usually with entirely too much chili oil. my nose running just means i made it right. I know its not as nice as making the real thing but  These suckers from aldi are real, real good. i usually do them steamed instead of fried, i like soft dumplings instead of crispy ones. but the filling is very tasty. i usually dip them in a sauce i throw together, black vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, a few drops of fish sauce, lots of chili oil, and some garlic and ginger. they practically dont need sauce but i like making a nice spicy dip.

a baffling pizza from aldi. stuffed crust, pepperoni, parmesan and cracked pepper. It...wasn't -bad- but it wasnt good either. the peppercorns just felt so out of place. i like pepper and all, but it just doesnt belong in that quantity on a pizza. i couldnt say "I outright hate this!" but every bite i had to think to myself "Am i getting used to the taste? Nope. Better try another slice."

i had a good hoagie and some really horrendous onion rings from the local deli. the only saving grace was the cup of horseradish mayo they sent along to dip the rings in. they were really lousy though. hadn't ordered the rings before, won't ever again.

Ulillinguist posted:It's difficult to make deep fried food really bad, but it happens. What a shame. Hopefully the hoagie was worth while. well, there's 2 kinds of onion ring styles. there's the beer battered style where the coating is more smooth, and then there's the more crumb-y crust which has more of a fried chicken sorta texture. i find the smoother, beer-battered style to be better. these were that style, but the batter was really thin and they were WAY overcooked, so the onion inside the small amount of batter had all the moisture cooked out of it, so it was like a battered rubber band. Its hard to gently caress up fried food, but overcooking them is one way. but yeah the hoagie was pretty good. an italian from a real deli is much harder to botch. I only got the onion rings because the hoagie alone wasn't enough to qualify for a delivery and i was having one of those days where i couldn't be bothered

one of my new favorite easy dinners. chicken wraps. i get a bagged salad, usually a caesar salad kit, first day, 2 wraps, half the lettuce, + the cheese and dressing, with a few chicken strips in each wrap. day 2, the other half of the lettuce, and bbq sauce instead. then just a bunch of carrot sticks as an easy side. i'm all about easy meals these days.

Pennywise the Frown posted:Ooo that's a good idea. I get those bagged salads all the time but usually just the American Blend because they're 2 for $5 all the time. something about throwing the chicken caesar into a tortilla makes it so much more enjoyable
